Wolcowitz says that these meetings would be spread out over two or three weeks before study cards are due, and therefore advisors would be less busy. Of course, this doesn’t do much for the root causes of problems with advising—departments who still don’t assign an individual adviser to each student and instead rely on walk-in advising “office hours,” advisers who don’t know enough about the relevant courses and advisers who don’t know enough about the student whom they...
...flooding, global warming, reduced fisheries etc.) will cost an inestimable amount of money, especially for those regions that rely economically on their renewable natural resources. Even planting new trees will not solve this problem; new trees actually emit more carbon dioxide than they absorb and do not have the root structure to as effectively prevent erosion or the height to provide a sufficient canopy for life underneath.

Feldstein ’61 is neglecting to teach mainstream economic views in Ec 10, then the issue should be resolved by modifying the class—not by creating an alternative course. By just creating another introductory course to cater to the political leanings of students, we resolve nothing...
