...Crimson runner to clock in, finishing in 22nd place, more than a minute behind Donaldson. Sophomore Jessica Bryant finished two seconds behind Bourne in 23rd. Princeton won the overall standings, totaling a score of 20 to Yale’s 43 and Harvard’s 85. In the dual meets, the Crimson fell to both Princeton and Yale by 15-50 scores. Harvard’s chances were critically hurt due to the absence of four-time All-America junior Lindsey Scherf, who sat out her second straight team meet to start the season. Both the men and women...
This fall, all students in Eliot, Kirkland and Dunster houses have more on their plates then just the regular class-picking and room-decorating decisions. Thanks to the new toilets installed in every bathroom, they must choose not only when to flush, but which way. The name? The dual-flush flushometer. The verdict? The jury, quite literally, is still sitting on it. The dual-flush flushometer is a leafy-green, antiseptic-coated toilet handle that controls the amount of water used in each flush. Specifically, students flush upwards for “1” and downwards...
They say democracy is about choice, and returning residents of three residential Houses found their toilet-draining options doubled when they returned to Cambridge this year: Eliot, Kirkland, and Dunster Houses installed dual-flush handles in an initiative to reduce water waste.

But bathroom-goers will be able to save even more water with an upward push on the handle—let’s call it “flush number one”—which is intended...
Rice continues to try for that. This week in New York City, she will push her partners to get behind a new sanctions resolution that would ban Iranian imports of dual-use technologies, like parts for its centrifuge cascades for uranium enrichment, and bar travel overseas by certain government officials. The next step would be restrictions on government purchases of computer software and hardware, office supplies, tires and auto parts--steps Russia and China have signaled some reluctance to endorse. But even Rice's advisers don't believe that Iran can be persuaded to completely abandon its ambitions. Instead, they...
...clamoring for more choice, are now flush with options when it comes to their bathroom activities. Over the summer, all bathrooms in Kirkland, Eliot, and Dunster Houses were outfitted with brand new toilets that now include water-conserving flushing handles, or “flushometers.” The dual-flush handles—painted a bright green—can be pulled up for liquid waste, releasing only 1.1 gallons of water per flush, or they can be pulled down for solid waste, releasing 1.6 gallons of water per flush. According to Jay M. Phillips, the director of building...
