Greeted with the efficiency of a bank, uptown undergraduates welcomed the sweeping reforms undertaken by the Office of the Registrar to ameliorate the registration ills experienced by students during past semesters. While registration for the fall 1998 semester was not free of glitches, students were treated to an enlightened registration experience befitting any fine institution.

To Serve and Protect, Not Repress

When does the repression end? It is time for the students of this institution to demand their constitutional right to express. On the the anniversary of the single greatest event in Jewish history this century, students took it upon themselves to display their festive mood. In the late night hours of Yom Ha’atzmaut, more than one-hundred-and-fifty students convened in celebration on the lawn in front of the Max Stern Athletic Center. This territory is known to be off limits to students.

That repeated employee treatment injustices prevent the University from formally aligning with the American Association of University Professors, an organization concerned to maintain fair employment standards for professors, is a sufficient affront to decency to merit our censure. Unfortunately, Yeshiva University’s expulsion from the AAUP was only a single occurrence in an ignominious legacy of professorial mistreatment.
