...year, according to UC Treasurer Benjamin W. Milder ’08. The increase in available funds is the result of two major changes, according to Milder. First, the UC’s Campus Life Committee previously was responsible for planning and funding social events such as pep rallies, airport shuttle busses, and $1 movie nights. But the committee was scrapped in May. Its responsibilities—and, hence, its financial obligations—were transferred to the newly-formed College Events Board.

They were there to collect two Egyptian asylum-seekers living in Stockholm, whose deportation to Cairo had been approved earlier that day by Swedish cabinet members. On board the jet were American men wearing black ski masks - who joined two men in business suits, who introduced themselves as coming from the U.S. Embassy, in Forrell...
