This basic first step would recast the IOP as the hub of a campus-wide political community—a central resource through which student groups could carry out their distinct missions. And before long, the IOP would become a true center for undergraduate political life, a dynamic yet cohesive community, where students...
...injury has not discouraged him from army service.“It strengthens my resolve to do my job because a comrade and a friend was hurt in combat,” Trama said. Before Morris served in Iraq, he enrolled in the Army’s Infantry Officer Basic Course and Ranger School in Fort Benning, Ga. Morris completed his training as a second lieutenant in May 2005 and in June he reported to the Second Battalion of the 502nd Infantry Regiment in the 101st Airborne Division.Morris said his 30-person platoon aimed to provide security for Iraq?...
