Students protest Arctic oil drilling

By Katie Martin | March 1, 2002

A 10-foot-tall cardboard oil rig and chains of aluminum-can pipeline were the props for dozens of demonstrators who stopped students crossing the Green yesterday afternoon during a protest of potential oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Yesterday's collaborative effort of campus environmental groups was part of the "Arctic National Wildlife Refuge Day of Action," one of the initiatives that was agreed upon at last week's "Greening of the Ivies" conference at Dartmouth attended by environmentalists from all eight Ivy League institutions. "Care about caribou," Brent Reidy '05 yelled at passersby.

Schools have new cost analysis tool

By Katie Martin | February 21, 2002

A new cost-assessment methodology unveiled last week offers colleges across the country a uniform way to explain their costs in per-student terms.

The Cost of College project resulted from a call that the National Commission on the Cost of Higher Education made in 1998 to increase the public accountability of colleges and universities. Damon Manetta, Assistant Manager of Public Relations at NACUBO, explained that the new methodology is not designed to create industry benchmarks. "The NACUBO methodology is a paradigm for schools to simply and clearly summarize their financial information.

"Green printing," an effort by the Purchasing Advisory Committee and Computing Services to reduce waste, will soon debut at the Berry printing window. Last year, between 25 and 40 percent of documents were printed but never retrieved from public printers. "The new strategy is designed to fix a system with inherent problems," said Mike Hogan, Operations Manager of Computing Services. Students will direct documents to a campus-wide queue and will now have to use a password to print documents in person from one of several "release stations." "Dartmouth is one of the last colleges not to charge for public printing," Hogan said.

MIT prof dismisses global warming

By Katie Martin | January 7, 2002

MIT professor of meteorology and atmospheric sciences Richard Lindzen's dismissal of carbon dioxide emissions as the source of global warming met with mixed reactions from a crowd last Friday at the Thayer School of Engineering. The effects of global warming -- an environmental buzzword of the 1990s -- are not worthy of the recent political and scientific hype they have received, Lindzen said. His controversial position -- that this hot topic is nothing more than environmental alarmism -- met with skeptical smiles and a few doubts from an audience of students, professors and community members.
