I was supposed to leave for England later this month in order to begin a year abroad at St. Peter’s College, Oxford.

The D.C. City Council is scheduled to vote next week on a bill that would allow extended cooperation between campus police and the Washington Metropolitan Police force. The bill would potentially allow the Department of Public Safety to extend its patrol to areas outside of campus that are heavily populated by students, such as Burleith and West Georgetown.

It’s a campus, not a prison

In a misguided attempt to make campus safer, the University has attempted to increase security by implementing a 24-hour lock down policy at all dorms. This means that students’ GOCards only allow them access to the building in which they live. Last year’s policy stated that students with a valid Georgetown ID could enter any dorm between 8:30 a.

City on the Hill

It seems we may have moved into some sort of a time warp. Voters across the nation woke up Tuesday morning, went to their local polling precincts and learned the results later that evening or read about them the next day.

March for justice, says Jackson

The Reverend Jesse Jackson urged Georgetown students to engage in “massive, non-violent” action by joining the March to Justice on Friday. The march is partly in response to the U.S. Department of Justice’s “closed door” policy towards Iraq.

Jackson’s Rainbow/PUSH Coalition is organizing the march, with the support of members and leaders from the NAACP, NOW, League of United Latin American Citizens and other groups.
