In a recent editorial ("The Failure of Higher Education," The Dartmouth, Feb. 20), Scott Brown made many excellent points regarding our society's failure to provide opportunities in higher education for our nation's poorest students. He cited the decline in public funding for higher education and argued that unequal access to public universities contributes to the increasing disparity between rich and poor in the United States.

Today when you walk past the Environmental Studies Division of the Outing Club's voter registration drive in the Hopkins Center, consider that in 1994 a member of Congress won his seat by only 21 votes. Also consider that in New Hampshire, both the Senate race and the 2nd district race for the House are too close to predict.

A few weeks ago, I attended the Dartmouth Energy Council's final meeting of the year. Having attended Energy Council meetings all year long, I had come to expect very little from the administrators and faculty who convene every other month to review the College's energy guidelines and propose new ways to cut energy costs. The meetings that I have attended have all started with a report that energy use has gone up by about five percent over the previous year. This is followed by some very general discussion and a few new ideas until the hour has passed and the meeting is over.

Right about now, many farmers in New Hampshire and Vermont are getting ready to plant their first crops. The ground has thawed and temperatures will soon be warm enough to start seeds of the hardiest crops like carrots and peas.

As I read Monday's article on gender equity at Dartmouth, I was glad to learn that many of the issues surrounding the Greek system are at least being discussed. A few weeks ago, a single editorial against the system by Sean Donahue evoked a rash of pro-Greek responses, but few letters in support of his ideas.

One of the first things I did when I arrived in Hanover following my DOC trip was attend an hour long woodshop orientation session in the basement of the Hopkins Center. Along with a dozen or so other freshmen, I anxiously listened and watched as assistant shop director Dudley Whitney introduced the different tools and built a small bookcase. At the end of the session, I received the official woodshop "gray card" and was ready to start woodworking at Dartmouth.

Twenty-five years ago this April, environmental leaders from across the country held the first Earth Day. In what was one of the largest demonstrations of the 60s, over 1,500 colleges held "teach-ins," and dozens of large cities held rallies to address environmental concerns. Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson called the activities of the 20 million Americans who participated "a truly astonishing grass roots explosion."

After reading last Friday's Weekend Gazette it became clear to me that computer technology and use at Dartmouth will continue to grow in years to come. With plans for "computer classrooms" and a new "cyberspace library", we will soon depend on our PCs for much more than BlitzMail, word processing, and the on-line library system. Indeed, Deputy Provost Bruce Pipes has declared that he and the Administration "want it to be almost impossible not to use a computer at Dartmouth."

Earlier this week, when I asked the server at the Collis Cafe for a small dinner entree in my own plastic container, I received an angry look from the manager standing next to her. He told the server that she would have to measure the amount in one of their paper cups and then transfer it to my container. I protested and said that the whole point of my bringing a reusable container was to avoid throwing one of the disposables away. All the server had to do was estimate the size of a small and put it directly into my container.

Over the past few years, several independent groups have explored ways to make Dartmouth more environmentally sustainable. Last spring, an Environmental Studies 50 class put together a report detailing recommendations on such areas as water use, energy efficiency and recycling. At the same time, acting Provost Bruce Pipes formed the Ad Hoc Committee on Environmental Policy for College Operations (CEPCO) to outline the administration's general goals for energy efficiency and waste reduction. Finally, last fall the Dartmouth Environmental Network (DEN) focused its annual conference on the creation of a "sustainable campus" by the year 2019.
