Irwin: Global free trade a boon for poor

By AnnMary Mathew | November 5, 2003

Economics department chair Douglas Irwin focused on the beneficial consequences of opening international trade barriers and discussed "Free Trade Under Fire," a pro-trade book he authored last year, during a lecture in Dartmouth Hall last night. "History makes a mockery of the claim that that trade can't work for the poor," Irwin said. Irwin asserted that lower trade barriers create more trade, which ultimately encourages and stimulates economic growth.

Speaker addresses Ovid and love

By Liz Yepsen | November 4, 2003

Ovid's poem "Ars amatoria" cannot be used as a universal textbook on the art of making love, Katharina Volk told an audience in Reed Hall yesterday in her speech "Ovid on How to Make Love in Rome," hosted by the Classics department. Ovid's "Ars amatoria," or The Art of Love, professes to teach the techniques of dating to an audience of young male Roman students. "The book paradoxically professes to teach something that everyone already knows" Volk said. The focus of the work is not on the experience of love, but the rational act of carrying it out and the technique of dating, Volk said. Volk noted Ovid's play on the word "amor," or love, which can reference emotional love, sexual intercourse or the Roman god of love. The "Ars amatoria" suggests techniques for talking and conversing with women, as well as good places to meet women in Augustan Rome.

Giordano said that the nature of Lifelines makes it particularly important to involve both graduate and undergraduate students. "It is necessary because it represents the continuum," Giardano said.
