Stanford, Duke adopt ‘green’ dorm projects

By Ben Blackman · Tuesday, April 10,2007 12 a.m.

Several years ago, Richard Luthy and his colleagues at Stanford University’s Civil and Environmental Engineering Department decided to build a student residence for the 21st century: the Stanford Green Dorm. They envision a 50-student house that “would be both a living and teaching place” and would “exemplify the state-of-the-art,” Luthy said. They designed landscaped roofs that collect and filter rainwater for use in laundries, bacterial reactors that purify water from decomposing cafeteria scraps, and geothermal pumps that tap the ground’s heat to keep rooms warm and showers hot.

Drink like Europeans

By Jacob Stewart and Jake Stewart · Monday, April 9,2007 12 a.m.

I attended a party last weekend. With the number of people, the amount of alcohol and the volume of the music pouring from the speakers, one could predict what would happen next – the police would be joining us very soon. Sure enough, the long beam of a flashlight poured over the crowd of partygoers at about 1 a.m. and the race began.

Death, taxes and student fees

By Alyson Brodsy · Monday, April 9,2007 12 a.m.

Period.

IU Press withdraws book from circulation

By Heather Haemker · Monday, April 9,2007 12 a.m.

IU teaches its students from the second they walk into their first classes freshman year that in academic writing, if someone’s concepts and idea are used, they must be cited. When in doubt, cite! The real world follows the same model. Unfortunately, sometimes in the mix of all the research and interviews an author does to get work published, not adding enough footnotes can sometimes pose a problem.
