...representatives say the changes in the UC, which stem from the recommendations of last March’s Dowling Report, will increase both the scope and efficiency of the UC. Although some members say they are disappointed by the extent of the changes to the College administration, which fell short of some of the overhauls proposed by Dowling, UC President Andrea R. Flores ‘10 says she believes the reforms will move the UC and the administration in the right direction.“We’re not going to ask them to do the exact things...

...sense of how far the Chinese leadership has come on the issue of climate change in a relatively short period, consider a conference held two years ago on the tropical island of Hainan, where, every year, China invites the high and mighty from around the world to address the weighty issues of the day at a plush resort. The theme of the conference was "Green China," and if there was a single underlying idea, it was that China, having just become the world's largest emitter of CO2 gases, was going to jump wholeheartedly on the global bandwagon to combat...
