Crackdown
Under-age drinking has become the issue du jour among authority figures at the University. The death of LSA first-year student Courtney Cantor, along with the recent alcohol-related death at Michigan State University, has resulted in various committees and other highly publicized efforts intended to raise an uproar over this perceived scourge on the community. Now the Ann Arbor Police Department has joined the campaign, bringing with it what the University and its task forces could not: the law.
Passing the buck
Money for public schools can continue to be diverted towards private schools. That is what the Supreme Court decided on Monday when it resolved, eight to one, not to hear a challenge to Wisconsin's school voucher program that provides low-income families with credit of up to $5,000 per child toward tuition for private schools.
Viewpoint: An open letter to President Bollinger
It has recently come to our attention that you plan to move some of your central administration offices to Angell Hall. While our government understands the reasoning behind this move, we feel that it is our duty to inform you of some of the problems that would result from this change.
Letters to the Editor
If Lee Bollinger wants to reach out to students and change the way the president relates to campus, he won't just move from the Fleming Building to Angell Hall.
He will take a stand against the Code of Student Conduct.
