...effectiveness of parental consent and notification laws—long taken for granted by supporters of such legislation—has recently come under question. In a study conducted by The New York Times, investigators found that six states that have recently enacted laws requiring either parental notification or consent saw no consistent drop in abortion rates. The study examined state health department records from Arizona, Idaho, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia, uncovering “a scattering divergent of divergent trends,” according to the newspaper. While in Virginia the number of abortions obtained by those...
...stemmed from the disparity in room types in Adams and other houses. Some suites have walk-through bathrooms, which would present a problem for co-ed arrangements. In Leverett Towers, for example, all eight or so residents on a “half-floor” would need to consent to the co-ed rooming agreement, according to Georgi. And Cambridge Historical Commission guidelines restrict the extent to which Dunster House, built in 1930, could conduct internal renovations to accommodate co-ed arrangements, according to Co-Master Ann Porter. “We agree on the principle, but there?...
...Oliver, Climenko fellow and Thayer lecturer at Harvard Law School, officers do need a warrant—and we agree that HUPD, as a deputized police force, ought to be subject to the same constitutional limits under which public police must operate.

We call on the College to clarify this situation by making all students aware of their rights in relation to HUPD. In two recent drug-related room searches?...
...child abuse, regulation of the hotel industry, and a police crackdown on the exploitation of children. But most of the allegations have never been investigated, and many of the report's key recommendations have still not been implemented. Unwieldy laws carry vague definitions of child abuse; the age of consent varies according to circumstances; tribal traditions are exploited by ruthless foreigners; and strict time limits on reporting offenses make prosecution difficult. The Solomon Islands' Law Reform Commission, designed to review and strengthen weak laws, has been inactive for months while the government advertises for staff. Why has so little been...
...house, and the logic behind each house’s particular policy is equally inconsistent. The UC’s Rooming Choice Act calls for much needed uniformity across houses: a rooming group’s ability to live in a mixed-gender suite should be based on explicit consent from all parties, not particular architectural barriers. Under the proposed system, mixed-gender housing would not be the default condition but would be a possibility for everyone. We believe it is an option that every student deserves.Given the importance of housing to our college experience, it is only reasonable...
