...council faces a funding crisis. This year the council has been forced to drastically cut back on grants to student organizations. Unless a termbill hike is approved expeditiously by the administration, Gusmorino and Lee likely will find themselves hamstrung by lack of money. It would be a shame if they were unable to accomplish their goals due to the unavailability of funds. With this concern in mind, the council considered a bill on Sunday to withdraw from the Ivy Council...
...problem with time. There he was in April, standing in a grove of 3,000-year-old giant sequoias in central California, about to declare them a national monument as part of his green legacy. But the Secret Service told him he had only 10 minutes for a "hike in the woods." Clinton bounded off through the sequoias, fascinated by the 300-ft. skyscrapers that spring from a seed smaller than a rice grain. He returned, behind schedule, to make his designation speech before zipping off by helicopter to a fund raiser in southern California...

Some 10 million visitors come to the Sequoia National Forest every year, and few of them want to see a return to the clear cutting that was carried out in the area up through the 1980s. After an hour's hike uphill to the snow line of the forest, Fontaine points to a 200-ft.-tall sequoia that fell 10 years ago right on the fringe of a heavily logged area. He thinks erosion around the 1,200-year-old roots caused its fall and curses loggers for leaving the tree without...
Strait has created an atelier in the house for her new career as a figurative sculptor. Anderson is working on his French. The couple hike on dozens of marked trails that meander through tiny villages. They keep in constant touch with the outside world using the Internet...
Some have argued that because payment of the term bill is voluntary, the hike will not actually inconvenience students. But the only way a term bill hike raises money is by giving students who used to pay $20 a choice of $50 or nothing. This highlights the practical danger in raising the term bill fee--that it might not bring in more money if students refuse to pay, in which case the whole exercise of ignoring student votes will have been for naught...
