A limb of a eucalyptus tree pokes through the window of a dorm room in Wig. During a severe windstorm on the night of March 20, a section of the eucalyptus snapped off crashing into the room of Rebekah Stackhouse 03. Stackhouse, who was in her bed at the time, apparently heard a loud cracking noise she thought to be lightening and proceeded to pull the covers over her head. After the tree crashed into the window, it left Stackhouse trapped under glass debris to wait for campus security to remove the debris. The debris was cleaned up and the remaining part of the tree cut down within hours of the event.
"Any time you put a tree next to a wall like this, the roots have nowhere to grow," Claremont Physical Plant employee Del Lindwedel said. "Eucalyptus trees roots grow outward, not straight down. The wall weakens the root structure."

Golf Back on Track With Two Big Wins
The Pomona-Pitzer golf team had really hit rock bottom. When the team went to the course to play, flying clubs and "cussing" were a common occurrence. The Sagehens had become nothing more than a rogue bunch of miscreants, joined loosely by something called a team, a term which they only vaguely knew.

Political Parties Dont Speak to Populace
One of the things I did over my spring break, other than sleep and watch copious amounts of television, was to vote in a small local election. The only thing that was on the ballot was a renewal of a school bond levy, but all the same, it felt good to participate in local government.

Negative Political Campaigns Have Positive Results
I had occasion to defend myself this week after displaying an ASPC campaign poster in Wig. The poster in question accused a political opponent of actively betraying the student body, albeit in a roundabout way, through her previous actions as an officeholder.

Pomona to Blame for 98 Deaths
I represented Clint and Hiromi Kurahashi, the parents of Yuta "Pete" Kurahashi who died as a the result of the Eucalyptus tree falling on February 23, 1998. The facts of the case as learned through depositions and written discovery demonstrated that the Pomona College Grounds Department was negligent in its care of campus trees, particularly its aging Eucalyptus trees.

Personal Attacks Are Not Satire
This brings me to my first problem with the [joke] issue. The attacks leveled against the fictional DeRideo ran alongside similar attacks on actual people. The former type of attack is an attempt at satire, well-done for the most part here, but one that is totally undermined by the attacks on real people.
