...between the UC and the College is necessary, it is comforting to know that the administration seems prepared to make accommodations to support student life in the interim. That is not to say, however, that the administration is totally off the hook. Student group funding still remains a glaring problem, and recent developments cannot erase the rash behavior of both the administration and the UC. Nonetheless, we are glad to see that the administration has not completely forgotten the deleterious side effects the funding war may very well have on student life...
...that Patrick took the issue “very seriously,” and has devoted millions of dollars to crime prevention programs. Lockridge-Steckel said that Patrick’s $15 million statewide anti-crime plan, which he unveiled last May, was not an adequate response to the problem. Referring to a billion-dollar, 10-year biotech spending plan that Patrick also introduced in May, she said a long-term plan is necessary to fight crime. “He can provide a strategy that will last beyond the next two to three years,” she said...

Because “terrorists” are placed beyond understanding, their elimination is almost never conceptualized as a political problem, but a military one. Eqbal Ahmed, in an influential 1965 article on counter-revolutionary warfare in Vietnam, suggested that American administrators were destined to decimate the local, civilian population because they began in precisely this way, by rejecting the primacy of politics. Perhaps the best example of this genocidal impulse...
