...many jobs in the solar-power sector than anywhere else in Germany," beams Salomon, who's a member of the Greens. Architect Rolf Disch is one of the businessmen who has benefited from that environmental focus. He ducks under a low-hanging beam as he steps out onto the roof of the solar-powered office and apartment building in the Vauban neighborhood, which he designed and which opened last week. Below him stretch row after row of brightly painted buildings with solar-paneled roofs. He points out that each unit actually produces more energy than it uses, so residents...

...which is distributed by the Undergraduate Council (UC). Aside from the boost in the UC’s budget due to last year’s fee hike, McLoughlin says there has been little growth in total grant money while the number of student groups has gone through the roof. If you do the math, the result is quite striking; the UC had about $213,500 to give out last year, but there are so many groups that distributed evenly, each group would only get about $700. If multiple overlapping student groups merged or worked together...
