...entire campus stands to benefit from an AACF event, the UC should fund it. Supporters of this option respond that money is fungible and that funding an individual event frees up an organization’s resources for other, more exclusive, and more sinister activities. Fine.

...face criminal charges so far, and the potential accusations against him, outlined by his defense lawyer, are more serious than those lodged against his immediate superior, Col. Thomas Pappas, who was the top-ranking military intelligence officer at Abu Ghraib. Pappas faced only administrative sanctions: an $8,000 fine and a written reprimand for dereliction; he remains on active duty, though he is expected to retire, in part because of his diminished chances for promotion. Pappas has also been granted immunity to testify on behalf of the defense in the trial of two dog handlers accused of using their Belgian...
