Allowed to leave his Somerville apartment only to meet with his attorney or doctors, Pring-Wilson must also meet weekly with a probation officer, avoid drug use and alcohol consumption, surrender his passport and maintain no contact with witnesses in the case. He must stay in Massachusetts for the duration of the trial unless he obtains special permission from the court, Hines ruled yesterday...
Although the club sports handbook states that “The use of alcohol at any club event is strictly forbidden and will result in automatic suspension of club activities,” the rugby team should not lose their club status on these grounds. This policy makes little sense to begin with. Clubs should be able to serve alcohol at events to members who are of legal age. As long as no laws are being broken, it is not necessary to restrict drinking entirely—it surely is possible for students to consume alcohol responsibly. Furthermore, this policy...

There are no talks of a varsity sports teams being prevented from playing for a season, though it is obvious that these teams have the same kind of parties. The rugby team has worked hard to create a name for itself, but it is still subject to potentially harsher enforcement than varsity teams. Granted, more responsible behavior on the part of the players would have avoided the potential for severe punishment. But if this inane alcohol policy is going to remain in effect...

Nevertheless, the Supreme Court’s decision to hear Banks’s case comes almost exactly five years to the day after the Texas execution of Joseph Cannon, a juvenile offender, which featured collapsing veins, a long delay and a second final statement. Twenty-three other improper applications of the lethal injection (out of 680) have taken place nationally since its first...
