    1. [MADKY] Berea in Top 10!
    2. M. A. Farrell
    3. Reading my Nov-Dec "Sierra Magazine" (Sierra Club Publication) this afternoon, I see that Berea is #7 in the top 10 schools named by Sierra Club as most environmentally aware in the U.S. This is what's said about Berea College: "(Berea, Kentucky, 1,600 students.) The first interracial and coeducational college in the South is staying ahead on environmental issues too. Berea College is perhaps best known (at lease in sustainable circles) for its Ecovillage, a housing complex for students and their families that incorporates passive-solar design elements, heavy-duty insulation, efficient appliances and fixtures, and rainwater collection. The ideals of the Ecovillage are reflected throughout this progressive Christian college, from the dining-hall menus that feature campus-raised produce and meat to the new solar array on the roof of the Alumni Memorial Building." The others in Sierra Club's top 10: 1. Oberlin College, Ohio 2. Harvard University, Mass 3. Warren Wilson College, NC 4. University of California, 10 locations 5. Duke University, NC 6. Middlebury College, Vermont 8. Pennsylvania State U, 24 locations 9. Tufts University, Mass 10. Carnegie Mellon U, Penn. Way to go, Berea!!
