The incident occurred near North 9th and Pine Street, as students walked back to campus from Engine House No. 9 Brew- ery. One student felt a tug on her purse and turned to find a man with a gun demanding the purse. This student and one other strug- gled with the man, who did not succeed in getting the purse and ran away.

By C.J. QUEIROLO

Though the past few days have been awash with new updates on the tragedy in Boston, the Su- preme Court issued a ruling which may have slipped under the radar. Though the ruling was unanimous and non-partisan, I do not support the justices. On Wednesday, April 17, in Kio- bel v. United Dutch Petroleum, the Supreme Court of the United States unanimously declared that the 1789 Alien Tort Statute passed by the first Congress does not establish a global cause of action that harmed parties may appeal to in U.S. courts, even if the alleged wrongdoings occured abroad. The ATS grants district courts “original jurisdiction of any civ- il action by an alien for a tort only, committed in violation of the law of nations or a treaty of the United States.” Before discussing why I find the court’s ruling dangerous, I think a quick primer on the history of the ATS would be helpful.

As the season came to an end for the Puget Sound wom- Ten’s softball team last Tues- day, April 16, it was ex- tremely clear that they left everything on the field as they played. It was not the best season for the Loggers as they were 2-37 all season, but they played strong each game. Losing four talented seniors will be hard for the Loggers next season, but with seven returning players the Log- gers will have a lot to build upon. The Loggers played their final set of games on Tuesday against Pacific on the Puget Sound home field. Dur- ing the first game of the doubleheader, both teams struggled to take the ini- tial lead of the game.
