...resources to varsity sports. Yet with the high costs of these teams, and the limited resources of the Undergraduate Council (UC) and small-scale fundraisers, club sports cannot depend on typical student group fundraising techniques, either. For example, the men’s rugby team’s proposed budget for their spring trip to nationals is $42,000, which though expensive, would be unquestionably covered if rugby were funded like a varsity sport. Yet given their value to the community, club sports certainly do not deserve the financial treatment that they currently receive...
...What club sports offer the Harvard community is unique. Each team is student-run, from registering the team to recruiting members, finding coaches, and securing a budget. Club sports allow students to pursue interests in martial arts, boxing, and other sports that are either unavailable at a varsity level or do not require the immense time commitment of a varsity sport...
...Bush talks the game when it comes to building institutions. "The United States cares deeply about the human condition," Bush said at his Bogota press conference Sunday, "Much of our aid is aimed at helping people realize their God-given potential." Bush's budget request for Colombia in 2008, however, still places heavy emphasis on military aid to the country. Says Rieser, "It's virtually a Xerox of the previous year; it has nothing to reflect some of the changes that have occurred there." In Iraq, U.S. forces cleared and then abandoned by Fallujah, which was soon retaken by insurgents...
...orbits of NEOs—is that can be accomplished without using tremendous resources. In the past decade, 20 professional and 100 amateur astronomers across the globe, led by the Garden Street-based MPC, have identified three-quarters of asteroids at least one kilometer across, and all on a budget of a not-so-gargantuan $4 million per year (in 1996 dollars). Within the next two years, he expects that the MPC-led teamlet will have identified 90 percent of the 1,200 or so kilometer-wide asteroids. But smaller NEOs are still potentially dangerous...
...first, the challenge is spotting the buggers. NASA needs to reshuffle its cash to fund the larger project, or Congress—which two years ago asked NASA to come up with a comprehensive search-and-destroy plan—needs to boost the space agency’s budget accordingly. And NEO-spotting is still a long-term project. We can catalog all the dangerous asteroids in the next few decades, but comets are more troublesome, since they come shooting from the dark reaches of the outer solar system. We’d have substantially less warning?...
