...Kreycik said. Robert Gogan, supervisor of Waste Management at the University, estimated that about half of Harvard’s departments currently purchase 30 percent recycled paper. Dara B. Olmsted ’00, HGCI’s Special Projects Coordinator, said the biggest barrier to a total switch to recycled paper is Harvard’s decentralization. Because each department of each school purchases its own supplies, it is more difficult to make all the purchasers aware of the new contract. In the past, recycled paper was considered inferior in quality and sometimes caused printers to jam. But Olmsted...
...drastically upping aid for those with incomes up to $180,000. Harvard meets 100 percent of each undergraduate’s calculated need, which is determined after subtracting a family’s expected contribution and outside assistance (such as merit scholarships or Pell Grants) from the total cost of attendance. For the 2007-2008 school year, Harvard’s cost of attendance was $48,550. The Pell Grant is no longer as significant a source of funding for low-income students as it has been in the past. College tuition increases have outstripped inflation and funding for Pell...

It worked. She raised $1,582 on her page alone, and contributed to Biss’ ActBlue fundraising total of over $70,000—an incredible online haul for what is an otherwise obscure race...

She approached...
...forced them to come up with innovative solutions: For example, the team decided that instead of using a bell housing (which contains the car's clutch) made of expensive magnesium, students designed and built a lightweight substitute made of cheap, sturdy iron. Hayashi won't disclose the car's total development costs, but he says it will cost some $785,000 just to compete at Le Mans. Funds have come from Tokai University, sponsors, and from Hayashi's own pocket. Additional cash is trickling in from a donation drive backed by the governor of Japan's Kanagawa prefecture, and Nissan...
