WASHINGTON - Thousands of people converged Saturday ipon the muddy grass of the National Mall to celebrate the 30th lnniversaryof Earth Day in a festival that mixed passionate environ- nentalism with the mellow atmosphere of a weekend outing. Holding small tree saplings and wearing assorted environmental tickers, celebrants wandered through displays of electric cars and olar panels under leaden skies while various religious leaders iffered prayers for the Earth. Vice President AI Gore helped kick off the daylong festival of peeches and songs, calling the next ten years “the environment lecade.” “When it comes to our air, our water, and the earth itself, we all lave a responsibility to look not just to ourselves, not just to the iolitics orprofits ofthemoment, but to futuregenerations,” he said. “We have to stand against the apologists for pollution, those vho believe in the old politics of environmental irresponsibility.” Gore outlined his environmental priorities for the next decade, ncluding protecting public land, encouraging livable growth, and aking steps to reverse global warming. He also stressed the need to ut air pollution generated by power plants. LIKE THE WAY THE DAILY LCDCDKS? The Democratic candidate has been stressing his environmental redentials in his presidential bid and he encountered a warm DCDN’T? eception Saturday, as many in the audience booed the mention of Leepublican candidate George W.

Jordan 6.Brenner Editor-in-Chief A Vote for PQ~ EDITORIAL In tomorrow’s Tufts Community Union (TCU) Senate presidential election, students are faced with a Daniel Barbarisi choice between two different sets of ideas, and two disparate leadership styles. It is a battle between a Managing Editor pragmatic career senator, Moira Poe and an idealistic reformer, Senator David Moon. Each candidate has made far-reaching promisesduringthe campaign season, but aclose lookattheirplatforms, Senaterecords, Ben Oshlag and leadership approaches makes Poe the right choice. Associate Editor Poe is areliable leaderwith aproven trackrecord and a cooperative relationship withthe administration. She will focus her attention on attainable projects to improve student life, while not losing sight of larger Lauren Heist issues. Moon is farther removed from the Senate bureaucracy and espouses the refreshing philosophies .Editor Emerita ofa reformer. However, upon closerexamination, heemerges asaromantic, withneithertangible ideasnor viable methods of accomplishing his broad goals. NEWS Editors: As a three-year senator, Poe understands the inner workings of government at Tufts, and the role of Will Kmlaw, Brooke Menschel Assistant Editors:. the Senate vis-a-vis both the students and the administration. She has earned the respect ofher colleagues Andrew Freedman, Jeremy Wang-Iverson, on the Senate and has brought noticeable changes to the students, particularly in her role as the Dining Ilene Stein, Matthew Kane, Rachel Rubenson Services chair. In that capacity, Poe helped to bring an increase in the operating hours of the Hodgdon dining hall, in addition to a drastic reworking of available meal plans for next year. As a senator, Poe VIEWPOINTS Editors: accomplished small projects with a relentless, point-by-point approach that would be equally effective Dave Steinberg, Leigh Wald in attacking larger issues as president. Assistant Editor: Benjamin Gedan Poe approaches administrators with a cooperative rather than adversarial attitude. Her philosophy is clear: “You can catch more flies with honey.” As Senate president and thus the primary student representative to Ballou, she will stand firm in supporting her constituents’ best interests, while not FEATURESEditors: Kim Fox, Kelly Wisnewski, Sheryl Gordon alienatingadministrators with a combative posture. She believesthat this approach will allow hertomore Assistant Editors: effectively “raise her voice” on the most important issues. In terms of intra-Senate interactions, Poe Mary Anne Anderson, Neil Taylor promises to adopt a kinder, gentler style when dealing with her fellow senators and with the student body. Students who are dissatisfied with the centralized leadership and aggressive tone of this year’s Senate ARTS Editors: should welcome this change. Alison Damast, Rob Lott Moon, while an effective senator and committee chair, lacks the political acumen necessary to turn his Assistant Editors: vague proposals into realistic programs. Painting himself as an outsider and political reformer, he has Dara Resnik, Adam Machanic, Michael Histen, Drew Shelton spoken at length on, and correctly identified, many ofthe structural problems with this year’s Senate. He SPORTSEditors: has not, however, managed to propose realistic solutions for dealing with those internal problems or for Russell Capone, Jon Japha, Adam Kamins tackling broader issues. Assistant Editor: Take the campus housing issue as an example. Both candidates advocate the building ofanother dorm. Erin Desmarais, Neal McMahon But while Moon’s proposals stop at this large and difficult project, Poe has offered realistic, stopgap solutions, such as Spring-semester entry for some incoming freshman, or allowing more students to PRODUCTION graduate early. Neither proposal may be any more attainable than a new dorm, but both illustrate Poe’s multi-track, practical way ofattacking problems. Cindy Marks Moon is a wide-ranging thinker who successfully represented his constituents chair ofthe Culture Production Director as and Ethnicity committee. Despite these accomplishments, Moon has neitherthe leadership experience of Production Managers: Poe, nor is he afforded the same level of respect from fellow senators. Similarly, Moon took a hostile Sandra Fried, Jenny Ahn, David Attanasio approach when working with the administration on the co-ed housing proposal, where he demonstrated an inability to cooperate effectively with administrators regardless ofthe widespread student support for LAYOUT Editor: Lindsay Reder the project.

Poe, who is seen Cambra Stern, Ruthie Nussbaum, Reshma Bharne by many as a Senate insider, would be wise to adopt these proposals and extend her strong leadership Jonathan Dworkin, Phil Erner outward by effectively communicating with the student body.

During the non-snow off season the US Womens’ Alpine Ski Team members used the ”Ski Teim” diet to lose 20 pounds in two weeks. That’s right - 20 pounds in 14 days! The basis of the diet is chemical food action and was devised by a famous Colorado physician especially for the US Ski Team. Normal energy is maintained (very important) while reducing. You keep “full” - no starvation -because the diet is designed that way. It‘s a diet that is easy to follow whether you work, travel or stay at home. (For men too!) This is, honestly, a fantastically succesful diet. If it weren’t, the Us Womens’ Alpine Ski Team wouldn’t be permitted to use it! Right? So, gve yourself the same break the US Ski team gets.
