...Gutierrez's first interview with al-Qahtani on December 13, he initially refused to speak with a lawyer. Gutierrez says that she donned a "hejab" - a headcovering designed to shield him from a face-to-face encounter with his female lawyer out of respect for his sensitivities as a religious Muslim - and eventually managed to arrange their first conversation. In a room barely large enough for three chairs and a small table, Al-Qahtani appeared in an orange jump-suit, his legs shackled.

Thick metal doors seal tiny cells; no one but Military Police can see in or out except for surveillance on closed-circuit television...
...until this fall, the UC awarded 13 party grants each week. Regardless of the size of the hosting suite, each room was awarded $100. But this changed in October when UC members Alexandra M. Gutierrez ’08 and Jia “Jane” Fang ’08 sponsored a bill overhauling the process. The bill reduced the number of upperclass parties funded weekly by the UC from 13 to 10, and it created a list of 14 “super party suites.” This list includes suites that have long been recognized...
