Barry Landreth, a former professor at the University of Southern California business school, pleaded guilty Wednesday to charges of conning students into committing wire fraud unaware.

John Danowski is a hugger. He hugs people. He hugs his son, Matt, and his son's lacrosse teammates. Good play? Hug it out. Good practice? Hug it out. Coach just finished yelling at you? Hug it out. Matt and his teammates laugh about it, but all that hugging is probably for the best. * Because after everything that happened last spring, Duke Lacrosse definitely needed a hug.
Last summer, I worked as a maid. For one day. Actually, full disclosure, I didn't even earn full-fledged maid status. I shadowed a maid for a day, and she happened to be my sister.

Olivia Vaughn, better known to last year's residents of Gilbert-Addoms Dormitory as "Miss O," was fired last year on the 89th day of her 90-day probationary job period, a not-so-uncommon yet rather disturbing occurrence. Miss O had formed close relationships with many residents of GA, and they would not let this decision stand. After a great amount of petitioning and pressure on the part of GA residents and others outraged by this move-including about 50 people sitting in President Brodhead's office until he agreed to have her case reviewed-Miss O got her job back.

In order to reach a conclusion on the fate of the millions of immigrants that live in the United States, we must first drop stereotypes and recognize the reality. The generalization made of illegal immigrants in Jeremy Marshall's editorial, "Keep 'Em Out" are problematic and prejudiced. First of all, his assertion that "millions. seek to kill us" is absurd and offensive. We would like to challenge him to produce evidence of the desire of millions of illegal immigrants coming from Mexico who have demonstrated this desire. It would be ridiculous to say that people who see America as the land of opportunity and leave their life and family behind would seek to destroy or harm this country through terrorism. If we are really worried about threats to national security from illegal immigrants, then the United States should create a system of accountability in which illegal immigrants would be legalized. Millions of illegal immigrants directly fuel the economy. It would not only be infeasible to "keep 'em out," but detrimental to the prosperity of our economy. While we respect Marshall's opinion, we challenge those who hold similar perspectives to understand the complexity of the situation and to not see illegal immigrants as a faceless "they" but as your housekeeper, gardener, future congresspeople, teachers and doctors.
