Linoleum floors, white walls, and random posters pulled from roommates’ recycling bins may suffice for most students’ nine-month dorm stint. But there are some who rebel against college dorm norm.

They also come as he and Defense Secretary Robert Gates waffle over whether to withdraw five combat brigades by July, reducing troop levels down from about 158,000 to 140,000 - the pre-surge peak. If the fighting spreads to other southern cities and attacks by Shi'ite militias increase, intra-Shiite violence may be the wrench that jams the whole works...
