The Pentagon disclosed last week that al-Halabi, who was arrested on July 23, faces 32 criminal charges, including four counts of violating the Federal Espionage Act.

...their time away from one another, some ingenious residents of the third floor found other ways to enrich their time. Fetterman and Bourdon-Feniou were involved in making a beer funnel, a long-standing Pennypacker tradition that takes advantage of the dorm’s sizeable central stairways.
