College authorities say many students have been put off from applying because of its name. The college was founded in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, in 1853, but now it will be re-named. Excellent news for men who's wives are always out shopping. A new pill could actually prevent shopping sprees. Latest figures show there are about 200,000 shopaholics in the UK alone, and that most of them are women.
Victims often buy huge amounts of clothes, make-up and shoes.
Most are so overcome with feelings of guilt that the only way to make them feel better is to go on another massive spending bonanza. But now scientists in America are working on a new drug, which may help treat their addiction, and a drugs company is currently testing a new pill on volunteers at Stanford University in California. Twenty-four female shopaholics are testing the drug in trials, which are expected to last three months. The study also wants to get to the bottom of why 90 per cent of shopaholics are women. If the pill is developed, then there could actually be a cure for shopping.
