Las, week Colgate was fommate enough to ha\'C the imcrna1ionally acclaimed author
Tim Flannery on campus co speak a.bom his book, 71,e \'Vtathrr Makn1 and the variom
challenges that glob:111 clim:uc change presents 10 our future. He w.lS dear 1ha~ Colgate
could bC' doing more to cake steps to be a more environmentally friendly campus and com ..
mcnted that lltudents must take the le.id in 01his movement.
We arc glad that Mr. Flannery wa.s able co speak 10 the \..olga1e Communi1y and hope
10 use the knowledge gainc..-d from 7/u Whuhrr Makm and his talk on campu~ 10 help
snadcnu ad,·:ance an environmentally friendly agend-'.
When we ,-.·ere cl«ted in April, we immcdi;ucly began a K"arch for a student that was
a motiva1cd, imelligem, ana more environmenrally friendly university. We are proud to repon that senior Nicole
Svajlenka, $GA Policy Coordinator for Environmenral Initiatives, is doing a f.tn tastic job
and making significant progress.
Through the hard work of Nicole, the SCA wdership, and ,he SGA Senate, we art
proud 10 announce that the SGA is going to be beginning ~em.I environmental iniriap
tivcs over the ncx1 month. Some of the initiatives will reduce use of bottled water. incrc.i.sc
recycling, use more biodegradable containers, utilize ahcrna1ive sources of energy. and
decrease energy~The iniri:uivcs will be Laid om in detail in the coming weeks. but we ho~ that you will
continue to rhink about the choices you make every dme you make the decision whcrher
to walk or dri,.,e, recycle or throw out, or whether to turn off the light when you leave the
room. h will rake efforts on the part of every one of w to increase Colgate's environmcnrally friendly practices and the time to sran is now! We look forward to working with the
entire Colgate Community in the coming months to implement significant changes to
make Colgate as environmentally friendly as possible.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Building Green at 'Gate
BY LYLE ROELOFS
,,,.,_,.JD<.. ,fdH~
I am writing regarding an artide in last week's Maroo11PNt"UIS, in which cnvironmentalp
Lst Tim Flannery was quoted as being ·shocked to learn that the new Ho Science Center is
not a.n accredited 'green' building." Flannery's talk was cxcelJent ove.rall and that panicular
commen1 l5 significant and wonhy of response. Con.sisie.n1 with the current policy of the
Colgate administration, the Ho Science U .n te.r, in fact, was built to comply wilh green
standards a.s defined by the industry·srandar-d Lcadenhip in Energy and Environmental
O..ig,, (LEED) Green Building luting Sy,tem. Official cenl6auion, though, generally
adds two to three percent to consuuafon cos:1 or, in the case of Ho, nearly $1.3 million, to
the total project cost. While~ cndeavor to construct and renovate our f.tcilities to LE.ED
standards we have chosen not to pay the costs that would accompany their ce.ttification.
While there is little disagreement over the wisdom of consuucling buildings to L£ED
standards - not only is the environmental impact reduced, but also the operating costs of
such buildings arc lower thus hdping to ofnc1 the extra constructfon costs ove.r time - the
value of certificalion itself is a maner of d~ion. No doub1 certi.fication is a source of
pride and docs make a public .st2teme.nt, but in itself it docs not increase the sustainability
of lhe building or reduce. its cncrgy usage. We opted to invest those additional funds in
classroom facilidcs, laboratory equipment, and suppon for research and collaboration. We
adhered to green building standards, but prioritiud the student and faculty experience in
the building over the official .stamp of approval. This discussion comes at an important
time for Colgate in terms of our commitmem 10 sustainabiliry. Over the past several ycan,
we have launched many green initiatives on campus, but the time ha.s come for us to aJ>
proach this important topic comprehensively, as a communiry. That is the goal of the En.
vironmental Initiative, a group of students, faculty, and staff chat is working on dC"Vcloping
a university·wide structure for monitoring programs, generating new ideas, and setting a
course for our efforts as a univc:rsiry communiry. 7hr Maroon•Ntws' Gavin Leighton put it
weJJ in writing. •As we move forward as students, a school, and a community, it is vita.I for
us to considcr our voice and action .so th.at we may be able 10 move toward a sustainable
fu1u1e. It is important to do this .since ~ will be sharing a common environment in the
ytantocomc."'

Remember how back in middle school you hctrd all about the elusive Northwest Passage?
For all t.ha1 every explorer in the J5th, 16th and 17th centuries was looking for it, no one ever
quite found it. When: it was warm enough to S:UI the~ was land, and up north the.re was ice.

couldn't that happen back when I was sailing tl1c seven seas?"
Polar sea ice in the a.retie declined by more than 30 percent this summer. That's a ridiculous
amount, and represents a loss rwo times as great as the one th.n occurred last )'t.""Jr. Scientisu
predict that at this r.1te there will be clear summer OCC'Jn in the arctic by 2013.
Wh..1.t's 1he ciUSt for this miraculous C\·en1? h probably comes as no surprise to anyone that
global warming is taking the bL1.mc. Global warming is one of the mos1 imponant issues fucing

plastics, as well as paper, glass :tnd ans. The only thing they don', actively do, as fur as I can tell,
is compost, and let's fuce it, you can do that yourself at any rate.
Then there arc the windmills. Madison C.Ounty is home to the largest windf.trm east of the
Mississippi. 'That's pretty impressive. 1he windmills m,,.,e their opponentS, but as a result ofha,.,p

Every Colg:att student having gone
dirough CORE 151 and 152 has been asked
to make some connection between the En~
lightenmem and modernity. Western civilization gives mon of ir.s credit to the likes- of
Voltaire, Kant, Descartes and Newton. They
wrote about free speech, dcmocr.acy and the
scientific method. And in affirming these
v:a.lucs, they denied those that were in opposition to them: wisdom, divine illuminarfon,
the controlled destiny of mankind.
So the question is, how docs thc- religion
of Islam, which does not deny these things,
fit into the paradigm of the Enlightenment?
How docs the fact that the revelation of the
Qur'a.n, occurring long before Montt$(1uicu
could pick up a pen, and functions in lslam
as the final affirm:uion of God, and argu-
ably, hum:an progcc,s, pl•y inw ,his?
The result is that we see Islam left out
of mos, of die diSGOurse of ,he Enlighmenr. For many, this s«ms to bt" enough
evidcncc- that Islam and the WC$t arc on a
coUision course.
But what about the affirmations of the
Enlightenment? h placed an emphasis on
the importance of the individual, the rule
of law, and the present material world. And
when looldng at WC$'tem world through
the lens of what it affirms, Islam can in
fact communicate with these values. They
are not incompatible with Islamic doctrine.

international organizations have reported
that ,he CIA hos subjected hundreds, i(
not thous:a.nds, of persons to extraordinary
rendition in countries known ,o engage
in torture. Some of these individuals have
"disappeared." Others are being detained
in facilities operated by the CIA, known
as "black sires." Numerous requests of thc
Comminee for the Red Cross for access
to such facilities have bttn denit"d. Some
prisoners were subjected to "water board·
ing," a technique in which intcrrog.ators
strap the prisoner to a board with his feet
above his head, cover his mouth and nose
with cellophane and pour w.atcr over his
face to create the sensation of drowning.
This technique h:.as long been outlawed
as torture. Yet the Bush Adminisu.uion's
nominee for Attorney General refused
lO acknowledge th.a, water boarding
is torture.
Lawsuiu arc beginning to work their
w.ay through ,he Federal couns with allegations that the U.S. govcrnmcnt and its
agenrs have violated U.S. and iniernational laws, including laws prohibiting ,onure.
The Bush Admini.s1ration has been relying
on thc so-called "state secrets privilege" to
dismiss or delay these lawsuiu. On Oc·
tober 10, 2007. the U.S. Supremc Court
declined to hear the appeal fi led by Khalcd
cl-Masri, a German citizen of Lebanae
d~cent, who claims he was abducted and
1ortured by CIA agenu in Afghanistan.

"When the going gets rough, 1hc

quote from Animal House characceritcS the feelings of the women's hockey
team, which has shown ,.A lot of energy
and resolve" according 10 head coach
Scott Wiley de,spitc gening off to a 0·5l start. Heading inco last week's doubleheader against third-ranked Mercyhurn,
the Raiders knew that coming away with
a victory would be extremely uplifting.
Although Colgate was unable to earn
a.ny points from the series, the Raiders
still showed rhat chey can compete with
the best of Division I collegiate hockey.
The Raiders started last Friday's game
poorly, as the Lakers netted four goals
in the firs1 15:23 of the game, chrce of
which c,une on the power play. The firs t
power play goal, which was scored by
forward Mcghan Agosta, broke Colgate's
sneak of 26 consecutive killed power
plays. Those four goals on 17 ,hors
ended junior goalie Elayna H amashuk's
night and first-year goalie Lisa Plenderlcith took over in net. Despite oucshooting Mercyhurst nine-to-five in
the second period , the only goal came
when Mercyhurst forwa rd Viki Bcndus
took a pass from linemace Stephanie
Jones and slid it by Plenderleith. Thar
score was Mercyhurst's last of t he night,
as Plenderleirh finished the game with
nine saves on ten shots. Colgate was able
to avoid a shutout when first-year forward Hannah Milan received a cross-ice
pass from junior forward Sa.m Hunt and
beat senior goalie laura Hositr for the
goal at 2: 11 of th e chird period. T hat
would be rhc las, goal of rhc game, as
bo1h goalies played well fo r 1hc laSI I 8
minutes of regula1ion to keep the score
at 5- 1 in f-avor of Mercyhurst.
In la.st Saturday's g-ame, Mcrc)•hurst
yet again jumped ouc to an early lead by
scoring two first period goals - one each
from forwards Hayley McMcckin and
Valerie Chouinard. Mcrcyhurst took a
2-0 lead into the first intermission, bur
that lead would cut in haJf very quickly.
Senior defender Mallory Johnston took
a pass from junior forward Sa.m Hunt
and put ir paSI goalie Laura Hosier ju~t
thirty seconds into thr s«ond period.
Mercyhurs1 answered right back with a
goal by AgoSta at 1:47. No1 10 be ou1done, Hunt responded back 14 seconds
later on :m unassisted goal to slash the
lead back to one. Colgate later tied the
score when first-year forward Jacquie
Colborne scored a power•play goal,
the first of her collegiate career, with
an assiSt from Johnston. Agosta pulled
Mcrcyhurst ahead again by netring an
even strength goal at 5: 12 of the third
period. but the quick-answer trend continued when senior forward Kara Lcene
knocked a Colborne pass by Hosier just
seven seconds later. After Merychurst
called a timeout at 8:51, Agosta con·
t inued to torment Colgate by completing her hat crick at J2:2 l . The Raiders
called a t imeout with about 2:30 left in
the game to pull Plenderleirh in hopes of
answering back yet again with an extra
atcackcr, but Meghan .. Wayne Gretzky"
Agona hit the twine with 28 second.s
remaining to seal the L.akers sweep and
put a feather on top of her hat. Agosta
now has a remarkable cen goals in jusc
nine g2mes fo r Mercyhurst this season.
Despite chc slow nan, Wiley still
feels that the Raiders have the ability
to exceed last se.ason's deep playoff run,
pointing to the fuc t that last year's nart
was similarly slow. Also, Wiley believes
that rhe return of 19 letter winners
means that the playc.rs will be able to
fall back on last year's experience to help
turn the season around.

In the flfrh minUlc, junior Josic

was only a maucr of rime before

Last Sunday's match was a
