...could say unequivocally that there would not have been a guilty verdict." It was on the basis of the newfound evidence that District Court Judge Lynn Hughes threw out Wilson's conviction, saying from the bench, "One would have to work hard to conceive of a more fundamentally unfair process ... than the fabrication of false data by the government ... presented knowingly by the prosecutor in the courtroom with the express approval of his superiors in Washington...
...can’t deny that elitism exists on this campus and that there is an audience for the nonsense contained in the magazine.

Both HoCos and student groups are great at building community within their own spheres of influence—but we need to think as an entire campus. It is unfair and unfeasible to place the responsibility of effective social programming solely on the shoulders of both HoCos and student groups. If carried through to fruition—which even the College Administration resists—the push to redistribute responsibility for services and event planning to University Hall and HoCos...
