...Recycling Many nations are starting to recycle things that are easy to get out of the waste stream, such as paper and glass, but the Germans have gone much further. In 1993 Germany expanded its recycling program to include all product packaging -- from gum wrappers to yogurt cups. A glut of recyclables has hampered the program, but the Germans are committed to making it work...
...priorities in order, but its budget remains limited. HoCo spending already takes up nearly one quarter of the UC’s entire budget, so the council is unlikely to raise per semester HoCo grants for fear of hurting funding for other student groups. Similarly, after a glut of spending on student life improvements in the past year, it will be hard, at least in the short term, to convince the College or the President’s Office that HoCos are in fact some of the soundest ways to invest in student life on campus.In the meantime, HoCos should...
...conferences, most administrators said they have had similar surges in the number of student groups. But the fact that Harvard is comparable to other institutions should not force Harvard to blindly accept a troubled status quo.

With four Ivy home games, including two against Columbia and Princeton, Dartmouth should be able to pick up at least one Ivy win, finishing with a 1-6 mark...
...example, well-heeled attendees paid more than $10,000 each to stay in luxury tented accommodation?a far cry from the event's countercultural origins. And it seems that no large gathering?from Japan's Summer Sonic to Scotland's T in the Park?is without its gaudy glut of sponsors' logos. But for those who rail against the commodification of culture, there is always Burning Man (burningman.com). Now in its 19th year, this arts festival in the Nevada desert remains inexplicably free of meddling from high rollers and brand managers. At its heart is Black Rock City, a temporary...
