Global warming may chill planet

By Charles Gardner | April 14, 2003

The continued warming of earth's atmosphere threatens to trigger a dramatic change in ocean circulation that could paradoxically plunge much of Europe and North America into bitter cold within the next few decades, oceanic expert Robert Gagosian said to a packed crowd on Friday. Earth's oceans, which hold vastly more heat than the atmosphere, are responsible for transporting and redistributing this heat across the globe through a linked series of giant, slow-moving currents known as the "great ocean conveyor," according to Gagosian, who is President and Director of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute. The Gulf Stream, which carries warm equatorial waters north, moderating the climate in Europe and the North Atlantic, is one of the best known of these currents.

Lobban: Sudan torn by political instability

By Robert Kimmitt | April 11, 2003

Sudan is beset by an array of intractable problems that are keeping the nation in a state of stagnation and war, according to Richard Lobban, professor and director of African studies at the University of Rhode Island. In a speech entitled "The Sudanese Gridlock," Lobban said the country is experiencing political, military, economic, internal and foreign deadlock. He said that the country has experienced an "oscillation between plural democratic governments and military governments," and said that democratic governments are "always weak" in Sudan. Since Sudan gained independence from Great Britain in 1956, it has had 5 changes in regime, with 36 years of military rule and 11 years of democratic rule.

By Jessica Spradling | April 10, 2003

Dancing may be an uncommon activity in boxing rings, but, after only three short rounds, a victory by the first Dartmouth female boxer to set foot inside the interscholastic ring was indeed cause for celebration. "My coach jumped into the ring and grabbed me and swung me around," Megan Fehely '03 said. Fehely began training last spring, but because there are so few female boxers, was unable to find someone in her weight class to box against until last Saturday against Raquel Carey of Amsterdam, New York. One of only two female bouts that day, Fehely's domination of all three rounds was in her first bouth ever was remarkable.
