...early April, leading representatives to debate whether the CLC should be replaced with a new committee or whether the UC’s size should be reduced. After nearly a month of heated discussions about internal restructuring, the council broke into applause when UC Vice-President Annie R. Riley ’07 announced that 36 members had voted in favor of the amendment to reduce the size of the UC and 10 against, just over the three-fourths majority needed to pass a constitutional amendment. The loudest cheers could be heard from the back of the room, where Team...
...Greeting the viewers as they enter the building are the large-scale photos of Michael Riley. The late Dubbo-born artist and filmmaker recalled growing up in central New South Wales, "lying down in the front yard looking up at telegraph poles and lines? cutting through the clouds." Made four years before his death, his final photo series cloud (2000) recaptures that view, though what float across the sky are poetic symbols of Aboriginal dispossession: European farm animals and vestiges of Christianity; even the boomerang returns to him as a weapon of racial stereotyping, beautiful but deadly.

There are about 135 people in New Orleans for every police officer--or about half...
...Harris arrest was a triumph for Riley, who says locals have been more cooperative since Katrina. But there are familiar, depressing signs too. As TIME was first to report, the murder rate has picked up again in New Orleans and may approach 2004 levels before the year is out. So far, 33 people have been murdered this year--almost half of them in the month of April alone. A man assaulted two women in a bar in the French Quarter last week, and then shot and killed a man who came to their aid, police say. Today there...
