It was the third murderous attack on unarmed people in the region in little over a week. The police said the modus operandi was the same — a man on a powerful motorbike, also the same in each instance, who shot and then fled. The local prosecutor, Michel Valet, said that an instructor, his two children and another child, the daughter of the school’s director, were killed in the attack and that a 17-year-old boy was seriously wounded. The killer “shot at everything he Sam Lane could see, children and adults,” Valet said. (The New York Times) Asst.

During the 2011-12 academic year, vandalism in Murphy Hall has amounted to $12,201 in damage. The incidents have been continuous throughout the year. Because of the prevalence and the severity of the damage, measures must be taken immediately to pinpoint offenders. As a residence hall, Murphy should be a place where students should feel comfortable and safe and are free of inconvenience. With all of the major dam- age done in the past year, the expected atmosphere of the dorm has been compromised. Students should be firmly held accountable for these acts of vandalism. Those who have any in- formation about the damage should come forward to prevent the punishment of students who have no connection to the vandalism.
