he University is solicitingideas or innovative ways to de-

Over a year ater proposingtwo technology projects to en-hance student lie, the Undergrad-

University around $100,000, mak-ing it the Universitys largest new

Under the new system, emailst studt addrsss w b r-warded to the alum emails, and

senders will receive automatic re-sponses explaining the address

has hagd, h sad.he University was concerned

that keeping Brown student emailaddresses could create conusion

or allow alums to misrepresentthemselves, but students com-plained about losing the inor-mation in their accounts atergraduatg, L sad.

It was actually a pretty con-

troversial issue, and (Computingand Inormation Services) tooka mdd pst, L sad. CISeventually decided to keep thedrt aum addrsss but ad-

justed the system so account hold-

Whether alums will take ad-

Roth emphasized the impor-tance o the relationship betweenteaching and research, where top

Amidst the discussions regarding the Universitys contributionsto Providence, we have been pleased t hat University oicials and

the general student body sti ll consider inancial aid a top priority.In act, he Herald poll conducted in March shows that nearly 40percent o students believe that President-elect Christina Paxsonshould make inancial aid a top priority. Recently, the student ad-

vocac y group Brown or Financial Aid came into t he oreground,bbyg r a gratr mmtmt t ths aus. W b thataddressing this issue is o paramount importance or anyone whotakes pride in being a Brown student, and we ully support Brownr Faa Ad.

As hghghtd by a um wrtt by mmbrs BFA astweek, the groups goals are to achieve completely need-blind admis-

s, wr th arag dbt burd by mr tha $5,000, as was increasing student voices in inancial aid and policy decisionsad mak(g) aa ad mr rsps t studt ds.hese goals, which relect a strong dose o necessary idealism witha touch o pragmatism, are ul ly compatible with th e Universitys

mission to be one o the top competitive institutions in the world.I razg ths gas, spa y ahg try d-bdadmission, the University would put itsel in a position to help

t y ds th udrgraduat bdy rprst a 50 statsad a arg sampg utrs, but t as huss studts all races, belies, political values and most importantly, socio-economic standing. Despite our dierences, we are united byone characteristic we possess a special merit that is worthy

W appa prsay t Pas, th Crprat ad th rst th admstrat rd wth suh mattrs t srusyconsider BFAs goals and reairm the importance o providing

UN negotiations unwelcoming to outsidersTo the Editor:

I am currently an undergraduate student atAmra Ursty studyg rmta s-ence and global environmental politics. I also at-

tended the Durban negotiations, and ater readingthe article about them (Climate lab reports on UNgtats, Apr 6), I t mpd t rpy. Iwas struck by the resounding optimism that wasexpressed by your contributors. I agree with SpencerFields 12, who is quoted calling the United Na-

ts Framwrk Ct Cmat C hagy-pg, thugh my p, t shd ght

onto the somewhat chaotic and unair nature otrata rmta pts.

I wonder i the Brown attendees shared my eel-ings o disappointment that most o the action

occurred behind closed doors. My own reaction toths prdamt was t sak t th hgh-meetings beore the security arrived to scan badges,since they would surely have turned away mysel asw as my prs g ur NGO status.

Ultimately, I was dismayed at the lack o inluence

most o the attendees, including many o the smallerdeveloping nations, had on the actual negotiations.Essentially, the convention was a back-and-orth

squabble between the most inluential world playersover dominance and power, which produced ew

suts. Wh J. mms Rbrts, prssr sociology and environmental studies, may consider

the talks to have been a global turning point, Iwud ha t pty dsagr.

there, pitcher Anthony Galan 14

said. We kept walking guys, we

kept allowing a lot o baserunners. We didnt exactly pitch to win.

Game two was not as close. Te
