COVER

"We do laundry, but we're really into real estate," explained senior Rob Pedrero last semester. That was before he and fellow '88s Dave Roth and Jeff Acker sold Dartwash, a student clothes-cleaning business, to focus on their million- dollar apartment holdings. The Dartwash story is part of a feature beginning on page 18, in which Charles Wheelan '88 reports on student businesses ranging from a travel agency to a mutual fund. The cover shot is by Robert Rattner, a New York-based photographer who took most of the feature photos in this issue.
