...didn't think John Edwards was still in the spotlight--but yesterday he spoke to a crowded lecture hall of Brown students, calling them to view global poverty not as an economic problem, but "a moral issue." While we at Flyby would like to endorse the alleviation of world poverty, his choice to lecture on morality is slightly ironic. (Yes we are going to make the obligatory John Edwards joke: it was a late night for FlyBy so if you have a problem with that you can step off...or comment below.) In any case...
...Officers were dispatched to Canaday Hall E to a report of two individuals urinating on another individual’s door. Officers spoke with the reporting individual, who was unable to provide a description of the urinating individuals. Operations was notified to clean the area...

I couldn't understand what they were saying, but it was clear that there was significant disagreement. Finally, one man spoke. "Some people call us Rohingya," he said cautiously. I realized they were afraid to be identified as Rohingya because the very word carried with it the likelihood of so much discrimination. The man's name was Muhammad - he gave me his Bengali name, not the Burmese one that Rohingya...
