Men can be beautiful too, right?

Students from over 130 countries will compete for Mr. and Miss Beauty. The contest is one of the most respected beauty contests in the world.

Stick to studying

LI Yining, an economics professor at Peking University, said that he would not encourage students to try their luck in the stock market (股市). “They should stress study,” Li said, in his speech at Beijing Foreign Studies University. When asked, the professor said he expected house prices in Beijing to continue to rise. Li thinks the government should provide more affordable houses for low-level income people.

Campus cinema

Students at over 100 universities will have a digital cinema on campus after the National Day holiday. The 21^st Century Digital Film on Campus Project was launched at the end of September. The ticket will cost 3-8 yuan, rather than 30-40 yuan at cinemas in town. Students often download movies online or watch DVDs. Now they can enjoy original films in the digital cinema. The digital cinema will show a variety of films other than Hollywood blockbusters (好萊塢大片).
