Panorama, Harvard-Radcliffe Hillel's recent art exhibit, was aptly titled. The exhibit, featuring the work of more than 30 Harvard artists, including graduate students, brought together a diverse range of works of art, subject matter and media. Panorama included many conventional pieces such as black-and-white photography, oil and acrylic paintings, charcoal drawings and watercolors but also presented very unusual media as well. Some of these are senior Amanda Proctor's Native American beadwork, a wire sculpture by Rachel Friedman '01, plastic boxes filled with transparencies and water by Jen Wu '00 and felt pennants by graduate student...
Another piece that stood out is junior Elena Mer's untitled oil painting of a toilet that appears to be in the middle of a room, diagonally facing a couch that is almost entirely cut off by the border of the canvas.

Yet on the other hand, we protest the destruction of Indonesian rainforests by poverty-stricken farmers for the sake of "biodiversity." So is environmentalism a socially progressive movement that protects the little person from corporate exploitation? Or is it an imperialist project that seeks to prevent people from using their own resources due to a belief that tropical forests matter more than local welfare...
CHEAPER GAS, PUMPED FOR YOU Hate jumping out of your car to pump gas, but rather not pay for full service? This summer, Shell Oil plans to test its Smart Pump automatic fueling system, in which a large robotic arm opens your gas cap, fills the tank, closes the cap, and bills your credit card, all in about three minutes, while you relax or buy coffee. First available in Indianapolis, the Smart Pump will require a special gas cap (installed by Shell) and will read a sensor installed in the car window to detect your fuel type, locate your...
