nize that, while American oreignpolicy may have been pro-Mubarak,the American people supported theuprising. In the same vein, Americanreporters distinguished between theactions o violent government thugsad ths pau prtstrs.

Shawki also described the vasteconomic inequality that proli-erated during Mubaraks rule. Hehailed the uprising as a working-class movement, saying the realpolitics o socialism are makingthemselves relevant again to a wholew grat.

Katherine Pleet 12 was sitting in herrst-foor Barbour Hall kitchen atthe beginning o her sophomore year

when she saw a mouse run across

the foor. She called a riend or help,but the mouse was nowhere to be

ound that evening. Some days later,the mouse was spotted again, and

this time Pleet contacted the De-partment o Facilities Management.Facilities workers soon arrived andset up traps, aer which Pleets pestprbms wr a thg th past.

Facilities was very prompt, she

sad.Facilities receives about 10 re-

ports o mice in University build-

ings every year. Tis year, it hasrd thr rprts squrrs,two reports o cockroaches andone report o a skunk, accordingt Cars Fradz, assstat president o acilities operations andgrg.

Jill Pandiscio 14, who lives on

Keeney Quadrangle, has not yet seenany mice hersel but said she hasheard noises that indicate a creatureis living in her walls. Pandiscio said

Facilities has set up traps, but noth-

a rdt hs rm th sdfoor o Olney House last year. Itdid not perturb him though itate some cookies that were underhis bed and so he did not takeany action to get rid o it, though

he sighted rodents on multiple laterass.

Pests such as squirrels or mice

oen enter rooms through openwindows or doors, Fernandez said.I Facilities is notied o an incidentb ph r thrugh a sr-vice request, it ollows a pest controlmanagement plan and CustodialServices sta responds quickly, he

said. Facilities has a 24-hour hotlinethat students can use to report pests.

Fernandez wrote in an e-mailto Te Herald that there have not

been any signicant inestations oncampus in his tenure with Facilities.Te Custodial Services sta provideda ag mm spas,Fernandez wrote, adding that clean-ing is the most eective means o

Tree months aer its opening,Symposium Books on Tayer St. hasnot brought the heat o increased

competition to the Brown Book-store, according to Steven Souza, di-rector o Bookstore administration.Tough the stores are separated byonly a block, Symposium is in adrt wrd, Suza sad.

Symposium, which opened Nov.26, specializes in overstock and re-madr tts ad rs dsutssgat bw rta prs.

Te store caters to a dierent

population o buyers, Souza said.Tey are trying to nd a niche, andth d t w, h sad.

Symposium deals mostly withoverstock rom well-known pub-lishers, said erry St. Amant,maagr th Tar at Symposium. Te store has what St.Amat dsrbd as a wrd m-ture o books, including sections

devoted to graphic novels, literature,arhttur ad phsph. It s apa whr ustmrs shud -plore rather than come in with aspecic idea in their heads, she said.

Smpsum ds t urrt

w rass, St. Amat sad.A brie survey o the titles on

dspa at bth strs ras ttrap. But sm th bks thstores had in common were markeddown at the Brown Bookstore. Sym-posium priced Te Girl with the

Dragon attoo at $11.98. At theBrown Bookstore, the book wasoriginally $14.95 and is now markeddown 20 percent to $11.96. Anothercommon title, Te Autobiographyo Mark wain, priced at $29.70 atSymposium Books, was discounted30 percent at the Brown Bookstoret $.6.

Symposium is a competitor, but

t that has atd ur bus-ss t muh s ar, Suza sad.While Symposium specializes inbks that ha b sgatmarked down aer their initialruns, we believe that the peoplewe deal with the aculty and stu-dents are passionate (enough)about their subjects that theyregoing to buy (books) at the rontd, h sad.

While the Brown Bookstore alsobuys overstocked books, Sympo-sium does so to a greater extent,

Suza sad.Bth Suza ad St. Amat sad

competition between the two storesappears minimal. St. Amant said shehas even directed customers to theBrown Bookstore when Symposiumds t arr a rqustd tt.

Ive sent a ew people over there w dt ha smthg thrlooking or, St. Amant said. Iyoure looking or a specic title, wemght t ha t, but ts th kd bkstr u wat t spd ahur pkg arud.

Te Internet is a much big-gr mpttr tha Smpsum,Souza said, adding that the store

rt bga t r rta tt-books to compete with cheaperonline alternatives. Souza said he

would be shocked i they aced ad-ditional competition rom Sympo-sum sg ttbks.

St. Amat sad sh thught thowners o Symposium would bemore than willing to carry text-

books at the Tayer location, butthere is not much space. Sympo-sium does sell used textbooks at itslocation on Westminster St. nearthe Rhode Island School o Design.

Ds that ma that ths rams, Sarah Pa s prs-dent? Greene said people haveasked him. But he said he has toremind them that the realm mustbe compatible with the laws ophss.

Greene included many com-putr smuats thrughut thlecture, eectively engaging the au-dience. MacMillian 117 was briefytrasrmd t a m thatras th tr audtrum, d tcapacity, watched an animation oth rg ur urs b-

Greene went on to explain an

entists, at least 100 to the 124thpwr thr urss must st.

It made one eel small, saidMaa W 3 abut Grs -

ture, hosted by the Brown Lec-ture Board. Other students who

attended expressed similar eelings.He changed my perspective o the

r, whh sks t u thrso matter, orces and relativity. Teconventional idea is that every-thing is made up o molecules,which consist o atoms that aremade up o electrons, protons andneutrons. Te idea stops at the levelo quarks, but string theory pro-

poses that inside these particles aret, strg-k, bratg stradso energy. Te mathematics behindthis theory require 10, rather thanthree, dimensions o space. Greenediscussed the possibility o other

dimensions, which are curled uptoo tightly to be observed. Teseextra dimensions all have theirown shape, and there are up to00 t th 500th pwr pttashapes. Te immense number o

shaps prud at th mu-titude o universes composing themutrs.

Catherine eitz 14, a classicsconcentrator, said the lecture in-

spired her to pursue science. Tisreminded me that pursuing the sci-entic aspects o study, even withinthe humanities, is essential to aur udrstadg a d.

Greene ended his lecture byhagg th aud t thkabout the possibility that ouruniverse is like a single grain osand on this huge beach o uni-verses. He concluded with a senseo wonder Tat upheaval inour understanding o reality wouldbe spectacular, and rankly, I cant

Distance deters ROTC participationTo the Editor:

Te goal o Students or ROC is to remove any andall stigmas, prejudice, bureaucratic obstacles and otherdisincentives or Brown students to join the Reserve

Ors rag Crps. As a adg mmbr thatrgazat, I tak ssu wth th assrts mad bJulian Park 12 in his recent editorial (Keep ROC

out,Feb. 25). Park states that current University policyin regards to ROC does not limit the individual ree-dms studts, ad suats that th w rat partpat th ROC prgram at PrdCg s du t a ak trst amg Brw stu-dts, rathr tha as a rsut Urst p. Tsud t b arthr rm th truth.

Currently, Brown makes it impractical or even themost interested students to participate in the ROC

program. Lack o adequate transportation is the biggestdeterrent. Providence College is three miles away romBrw, ad wh ths mght t sm k a r gdsta, th majrt Brw studts d t ha

W, th Studts r ROC,are not advocating or special privileges, but rather orth sam rdm ass r ROC that s arddto other extracurricular programs. Keeping ROCo-campus unjustly penalizes students in the program,depriving them o valuable time and energy that manydustrus Brw studts at ard t sar.

Read one way, the gains the University has made in aculty

diversity are remarkable. In less than a decade, the number oraa ad th mrts th aut has rasd b mrtha 0 prt.

But as Te Herald reported last month (Faculty still mostlymale, white, Feb. 10), the lack o diversity within the aculty is

st staggrg. T Ursts rt hrs mak up a arg pr-t th aut mmbrs wh ar ma r raa ad thminorities, but that indicates how ew women and minorities werepreviously on the aculty. In 2003, 21 members o the aculty wereblack compared to 31 today. Whats more, the acultys homogeneity gdr, ra ad tht s sstt wth th makup ma U.S. sttuts, udg mst ur pr sttuts,whh ha surd a smar ak drst thr auts.

Or th past dad, th Urst has mad a rtd -rt t rrut ad hr aut r. It has ratd a O Isttuta Drst ad ratd a targtd hrg prgram that

allows departments to recruit candidates who would add diver-st t thr raks wh th dpartmt s t dutg asarh t a pst. Suh ps hp st th hgh prpr-tion o tenured proessors at Brown 72 percent, according to

last months Herald article which slows down changes in themakup th aut.

Tese eorts have achieved limited success emale and non-wht mmbrs th aut ha grw umbr. St, abuttw-thrds th aut ar ma ad abut ur-hs ar wht.Ad ast mths Hrad art, prssrs ad admstratrsptd t th sart quad addats th jb marktas a trbutg atr.

T adt suh mmts s up r dbat, but w thkth ar utmat utrprdut. T g th mprssthat making the ranks o the aculty more diverse is outside o t heUrsts hads. Ts rks Brws w r duatgpotential proessors. About 15 percent o last academic years

graduat studts dtd thmss as mmbrs a raa rethnic minority, or as biracial, compared to nearly one-third o

the undergraduate student bo dy. Brown, like any other university,hps prdu ur utrs p ptta prssrs.

We also urge the University to remember that recruiting a diverseaut s a rutss dar w hrs m t a sttutwhose environment is not welcoming, supportive or tolerant. Teadministration and individual departments should create programsthat at am t tgrat w hrs t a dpartmt rexample, by establishing mentors or new minority aculty, as sug-gstd b th Amra Assat Urst Prssrs adumt budg a mr drs aut.

Te University will increase park-g s r studts, aut adsta by $30 or the next scal year,according to the proposed 2012budget. Te increase would bringthe on-campus per-year parkingrate to $760 or students and $550r aut ad sta.

Te ee has increased everyyear since at least 2006 when itwas $340 or employees and $465r studts. T budgtd prsrprst mr tha a 50 prtincrease in the cost o on-campusparking over the past ve years. Atthe beginning o the current scal

Hstra, th parkg swr rasd at a rat 5 pr-t pr ar, but th w auaincrease was not enough to sus-

tain the increase in transportationservices such as the shuttle and(th Rhd Isad Pub rastAuthority), said Elizabeth Gentry,assstat prsdt r a-a ad admstrat srs.

Parking ees are used by theransportation Oce to pay or

srs suh as SaRd, RIPApasses and ZipCar. Only about

hal o this money comes romparking ees, Gentry said, and therest is subsidized by the University.

Next scal years budget allocates$92,000 or transportation ser-vices, $45,000 o which will comerm parkg s.

Despite steady price increases,demand or on-campus parkingoutstrips supply, with many stu-
