More than one-third of the coal burned in the U.S. is mined in the central Appalachian Mountains, which stretch from Tennessee to Ohio, and nearly half of the electricity used by Americans is powered by coal.

Mountaintop mining destroys the natural habitats of many local species, whether endangered ones such as flying squirrels or flourishing ones like salamanders. Further, mountaintop debris that is dug up or displaced by explosions is dumped in the valleys below, burying headwater streams, killing the aquatic species that live in the waters and impacting downstream water supplies. About 1,200 miles of streams have been buried in this manner in central Appalachia, according to a 2003 federal...

Remember that time when setting large objects on fire and sending them down the Charles was good, clean fun? That time is no more. Unfortunately for the class of 2013, Dean of Freshmen Thomas A. Dingman '67 sent out an e-mail last week outlining strict consequences for those brave souls who participate in certain River Run events this year. So what do freshmen think about this? We asked, and here's what they told...
