Dear flag stealer: 'fess up!
Last Thursday, Nov. 13, the Baker Institute staff arrived in the morning to find that 22 international flags had been stolenfrom the Centennial Campaign tent (see story, page 10). The flags, which were meant to be decorations for Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice's speech later that afternoon, have still not been recovered.
We strongly encourage anyone with any information to contact RUPD so the university can reclaim the flags as quickly as possible. If those involved are indeed associated with the university, we hope they keep in mind that a crime of this nature, even if it started out as a jack, has now crossed the line from harmless to uncalled for. To make restitution to the university, the culprits should at the very least return the items, even if it is anonymously.

I grew up in a small town in southern New Jersey called Columbus. Most people from New Jersey haven't even heard of it. If they have, it’s only ever because of our farmers’ market or our supposedly haunted hotel on Main Street. I attended the local public school from preschool through twelfth grade, and I hated every moment of it.

The Student Association's plan to cut the Rice Women's Resource Center budget is wrong, and you should be mad about it.
