Student groups in need of cash will be able to save valuable time and energy this semester, thanks to the Undergraduate Council. A council initiative has created a common, project-based application for student organizations—allowing groups to apply to multiple grant-giving institutions in one fell swoop. Starting this semester, one application can request funds from the Ann Radcliffe Trust, the Office for the Arts, the President’s Public Service Fund and the Student Activities Fund, as well as the council itself. With applications traditionally longer than the council’s, some of these...
...Couture, 44--the ultimate challenge is connecting the digital world to the one we actually live in. The firm has attempted this with several projects, and perhaps its purest piece of digi-tecture is the Guggenheim Virtual Museum: an Internet-only gallery that would enable art lovers anywhere to swoop through interlocking coils and interact with the Guggenheim's collection of digital art. "Would," that is, because the museum, in a funding crunch, has yet to put up the website for public viewing...
...implications of administrators who act without consulting the Faculty committee—which was created solely for the purpose of consultation on the new structure—are not positive. In one foul swoop, Summers and Kirby have ensured that future Faculty committees will look at them with distrust, a professional relationship of suspicion that benefits no one. Summers and Kirby have shown through their actions that they obviously do not care about the thoughts of Faculty and students, and have just set a precedent for constant skepticism from the entire undergraduate community...
Critics say Franks needs an additional heavy Army division. The Administration sent Franks into combat without the 4th Infantry and other reinforcements that he expected to have. Those heavyweight 62,000 troops were supposed to swoop down on Baghdad from bases in Turkey to open a second front. The Administration assumed a multibillion-dollar aid gift plus permission to put Turkish troops across the Iraq border into Kurdish territory would persuade its NATO ally to allow U.S. forces to use Turkish territory. What the Administration didn't seem to factor in was the strong opposition of Turkey's mainly Muslim...
Libeskind's design, along with most of the designs submitted for the competition--buildings that swoop and stride--tell you again what Frank Gehry first made plain with his Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain. In architecture, the old world is dead. And with the exception of Gehry, there's no more powerful emblem of that change than Libeskind, 57, who was thrust into fame three years ago with his first building. In the late 1980s, when he won a competition to design the Jewish Museum in Berlin, Libeskind's name was known only to people who followed architectural theory. Though...
