Stanley Prepares for Retirement
By Caleb Oken-Berg
Staff Writer
If you had asked Peter Stanley what he planned on doing after graduating
from Harvard University in 1970, the self-described "shy"
native of Syracuse, New York would probably have responded quietly,
"something to do with history."
Thirty-three years later, Stanley is currently
finishing up a twelve-year stint as President of Pomona College.
With his departure, Stanley leaves the school with roughly $700
million more than before he arrived, a campus transformed by the
construction of many brand new facilities, and a national reputation
that is arguably the most successful in Pomona's 116 year history.

the Ministry of Health. Although 1,114 is a small number compared
to the population of Beijing, it is nearly one fifth of the cases
reported world-wide.

Campus Safety Criticized

News Associate
Amidst the flashy tube tops and high-cut skirts coloring the weekend
party scene stand the darkened sentinels of Pomona college: Campus
Safety. Dressed all in black, from heavy duty work boots on their
feet, to sleek bike helmets atop their heads, their role at parties
is obvious from their appearance. However, the professionalism of
the campus forces in this role has recently come under criticism
by students lately.
UC-Berkeley Students Bear
With Extremes of Mental Illness
By Sarah Mourra
Daily Californian
BERKELEY, Calif.- After Desmond Moore's first manic episode, ambulance
workers found him collapsed on an Oakland, Calif., street, pants
unzipped, following a sleepless night in the Oakland County jail.
"Imagine you are extremely aware of everything
going on around you, and you're moving really quickly," Moore
says. "At the time I was wild and crazy, and out of my mind."
