A popular T-shirt on the University of Chicago campus -- home of Nobel winners and their egghead students -- reads: "U of C: Where fun goes to die.'' To which a new student-produced, sex-themed magazine responds: "We are sexual and we are hot.'' "Sex is not divorced from intellect,'' argues Sida Xiong, the 22-year-old editor in chief of Vita Excolatur -- Latin for "life enriched.'' MORE ONLINE

Here's one way for a journalist to get through a celebrity profile: get high. According to Lloyd Grove, Details writer Kevin Gray took a hit of the wacky-tobacky while profiling music/movie/beverage/MP3 player/clothing/magazine mogul Damon Dash for an upcoming issue of Details. As Gray tells Grove: "I decided to go a little Hunter Thompson gonzoesque. We'd just left Damon's mansion in Beverly Hills and were driving down Sunset, going to various meetings between clouds of pot smoke. It wasn't the Herojuana [''cause it hits you like heroin'], it was the usual variety. But I did get a buzz. There are gradations of 'stoned' and I got a mild buzz." MORE ONLINE

Stephen Adler has one of the most daunting jobs in publishing, as he prepares to take the reins as Business Week's first new editor-in-chief in two decades. He'll be following one of publishing's most durable acts. Stephen Shepard, 65, has been the magazine's top editor since 1984. He'll cap his distinguished career by becoming the founding dean of the Graduate School of Journalism at the City University of New York. Adler, 49, the former deputy managing editor of the Wall Street Journal and editorial director of its online edition, will work along side Shepard and officially succeed him on April 1. Adler's mandate ought to be to shake up an underachiever, which, at its worst, reads like the publishing industry's most sweeping trade journal. "His hurdle with Business Week will be to make it more relevant to the next generation of magazine readers," Kevin Salwen, co-founding editor of Worthwhile magazine, commented by e-mail. MORE ONLINE
