The University's proposed medical amnesty policy is a positive step for the health, safety and well-being of the entire student body. GW deserves praise for implementing this program, which clearly indicated that it listened to reasonable students concerns.
It's the classic GW paradox: the Student Activities Center spends months planning for the expansion of Greek-letter life on campus while Student Judicial Services places three fraternities on social probation. Although the circumstances surrounding the probations and the expansion are not connected, the University's attitude toward Greek-letter life frequently falls into this pattern of juxtaposed objectives.
On Tuesday, August 23, Sherra White and her son Steve Lotti boarded a flight from Lima, Peru, bound for the Amazon city of Pucallpa. It was Sherra's first trip abroad, her retirement celebration after 32 years as a Georgia public school teacher. Her guide to South America was her son Steve, who had just finished two years with the Peace Corps in Bolivia.
Common sense As I stood in line for over two hours to obtain my ResNet equipment, a question percolated in my mind: Why not simply distribute ResNet equipment to students as they check into their dorms? This would save University residents a lot of time. Instead of being herded like cattle for hours through the Hippodrome, arriving students could receive their keys and then walk to an adjacent table to get their ResNet supplies.
Like the Yankees in October or a Cubs mid-season meltdown, leftist hysteria over President Bush's Supreme Court nomination was to be expected.
