Note: According to its publication date, this issue is the eighth issue to be published, however "Vol.I No.VI" is written on the cover (the font makes it look like Vol.II No. VII); however, the next issue claims to be number eight. To keep publication dates in order, we have relabeled this issue as VIII-A and issue VIII as VIII-B. Page 1 The title page depicts an ASOSU election ballot with such words as "conspiracy" and "smear" next to checkmarks. A large hand has stamped the word "FRAUD" on the ballot. Caricatures (identities unknown) are holding a pen and appear to have just voted on the ballot. Page 2 "ELECTION FRAUD" The recent student election for the ASOSU is called into question. Various prerequisites for positions are cited as examples of illegitimate proceedings involving students not matching the requirements for filled positions. The Student Activities Committee is accused of showing favoritism towards certain members of the administration. Also cited was the misprinting of some of the ballots, with some names left off. Other voter fraud is claimed. Continued on Page 3. Page 3 [no title] "ELECTION FRAUD" from Page 1 is concluded. "REESOR FIGHTS CONSPIRACY" Various obstacles of Reesor's ASOSU Presidential campaign, mostly involving his eligibility, are recounted. Continued on Page 8. Page 4 "ASOSU ELECTIONS: 1969" The entire page is filled by drawings depicting various groups involved in the ASOSU elections in an unflattering mannor. Page 5 "ELECTIONS MUST BE HALTED AND INVESTIGATED" Dirty politics and prejudiced rules are accused of tampering with the ASOSU elections. Various candidates, both winners and losers, are paraphrased (although with no identification of the individual paraphrased) regarding the allegedly fraudulent election. Various specific allegations are made regarding the level of fraud in the elections. Continued on Page 7. Page 6 [no title] Artwork depicts the Athletic Department, Administration, MU Director, "Corrupt Student Leaders," and their hand-picked candidate standing over a pile of students with such names as "student voice," "smear," and "invalidated students." The picture is captioned "THE BEST MAN WON." Page 7 "David and Lisa" The film by Contemporary Films and Young Film Makers is advertised.

• Due to the rising totals of new cases and deaths, stricter precautions were enacted in Portland yesterday. Streetcars and stores are the main foci of the new orders. • The number of passengers allowed on streetcars at one time is limited. Seventy passengers is the maximum allowed on larger cars; for smaller cars, the limit is 45. Overall, "good judgment" is the guiding principle. Car operators have more authority to enforce this order. Streetcars should be "swept, dusted, and sprayed" daily. Two windows in each car should be left open to provide ventilation.• Sales are not allowed in stores. Any attempt to attract crowds is also not allowed. • Mayor Baker ordered the additional precautions when he learned that "Portland residents are not living up to the spirit of the closing order."• Cars will probably be removed from lines in compliance with the order that only essential trips be taken. • More than 120 streetcar employees are sick. The President of the carmen's union, R. Walker, asked the Mayor and Dr. Parrish if a hospital should be established for the sick carmen. Both responded that, at least for the present, the Auditorium emergency hospital can accommodate their cases. • The City Commissioners appropriated an additional $2,500 for use in "outfitting" the emergency hospital. There is now a total of $5,000 to fund the hospital. • Several patients have been discharged from the emergency hospital and diagnosed as "cured." There are currently 160 patients in the hospital. • The heating ordinance prepared by Commissioner Barbur and City Attorney La Roche will be considered by the City Commissioners today. • Statistics from around the state provided. • Names of the recently deceased reported, along with dates of death, age, occupation, and address. ; Newspaper article ; 18

In celebration of International Women's Day (March 8), the Institute for Women's Studies in the Arab World (IWSAW), in co-operation with Dar Al-Adab (a publishingcompany) organized on March 7, 1997 an encounter with the Palestinian author Sahar Khalifeh, who was eloquently introduced by Afeefi Arsanios (UNDP - United Nations Development Program). Sahar Khalifeh gave a powerful speech entitled, "Woman and Writing or Feminist Writing", which was followed by a lively discussion. Excerpts from her speech follow.

The Nanjing Government has taken temporary environmental regulations to guarantee good air quality during the Youth Olympic Games (YOG) in 2014. We study the effect of those regulations by applying the emission estimate algorithm DECSO (Daily Emission estimates Constrained by Satellite Observations) to measurements of the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI). We improved DECSO by updating the chemical transport model CHIMERE from v2006 to v2013 and by adding an Observation minus Forecast (OmF) criterion to filter outlying satellite retrievals due to high aerosol concentrations. The comparison of model results with both ground and satellite observations indicates that CHIMERE v2013 is better performing than CHIMERE v2006. After filtering the satellite observations with high aerosol loads that were leading to large OmF values, unrealistic jumps in the emission estimates are removed. Despite the cloudy conditions during the YOG we could still see a decrease of tropospheric NO2 column concentrations of about 32% in the OMI observations as compared to the average NO2 concentrations from 2005 to 2012. The results of the improved DECSO algorithm for NOx emissions show a reduction of at least 25% during the YOG period. This indicates that air quality regulations taken by the local government were successful. The algorithm is also able to detect an emission reduction of 10% during the Chinese Spring Festival. This study demonstrates the capacity of the DECSO algorithm to capture the change of NOx emissions on a monthly scale. We also show that the observed concentrations and the derived emissions show different patterns that provide complimentary information. For example, the Nanjing smog episode in December 2013 led to a strong increase in NO2 concentrations without an increase in NOx emissions. Furthermore, DECSO gives us important information of the non-trivial seasonal relation between NOx emissions and NO2 concentrations on a local scale. ; Geoscience & Remote Sensing ; Civil Engineering and Geosciences

We developed a new education curriculum called "ALPS" (Active Learning Project Sequence) at Keio University that emphasizes team project-based learning and design thinking with systems engineering techniques. ALPS is a 6 month course, in which students work as a team and design and propose innovative systems. Students identify requirements, propose solution scenarios, and define competitive products or service systems. The multi-university faculty team consists of members of one Japanese university (Keio University), two US universities (Stanford University and MIT), and one European university (TU Delft). The faculty team members from these universities teach design thinking methods and systems engineering methods along a "V model" roadmap. Each year, the university team announces a grand theme. The themes we announced so far were "Enhancing Senior Life in Japan" in 2008, "Creation of Sustainable Community" in 2009, "Safety and Security" in 2010, and "Symbiosis and Synergy" in 2011. Since 2010, the university team asked companies, government, and nonprofit organizations to propose a project based on the grand theme. Proposer organizations work with Keio University early on to define the project and define project requirements. At the end of the 6 months, the final deliverable is an in-depth analysis and recommendations on the problem, based on the latest insights developed at participating universities. By proposing an ALPS project, proposer organizations can encounter fresh, innovative ideas by the mixed student body of multinational/ cultural/professional backgrounds and experience sophisticated system design methods. ; Infrastructures, Systems and Services ; Technology, Policy and Management
