During last year's partying, called Spring Weekend, 84 people were arrested and one student died, accord- ing to the article. Jafar Karzoun, a junior at the university at the time, was punched by a non-student and died one week later. Spring Weekend began in the 1960s and has been carried on each year as a series of parties at off-campus apart- ments and a school parking lot. About 15S000 people have gathered for the events in recentcyears, according to the article. As a result of last year's events, the University formed a task force to explore the university's options regarding Spring Weekend. The task force found that university-sponsored events - meant to encourage activi- ties besides off-campus partying - didn't curb such behavior, according to The Boston Globe. Additionally, because most of the people arrested last year weren't stu- dents affiliated with the University of Connecticut, visitors will not be per- mitted in the dorms that weekend, the article states. University of Connecti- cut President Philip Austin consented the new protocol designed by the task force, accordingcto the Boston Globe. The task force is also calling on students this year to ban off-campus parties during Spring Weekend to pay respect to Karzoun, the article states. EMORY ACKNOWLEDGES PRIOR INVOLVEMENT WITH SLAVERY Emory University's Board of Trust- ees has adopted a resolution acknowl- edging the university's involvement with slavery during the 19th century, according to a Jan. 20 article in the Emory Wheel article. According to the Emory Wheel, the resolution states that Emory "regrets both this undeniable wrong and the University's decades of delay in acknowledging slavery's harmful legacy." In addition to the university's upcoming 175th anniversary, the Wheel reported that another reason Emory's trustees decided to pass the resolution is because Emory is hosting a national conference on the history of slavery in early February.

OF COLORADO STUDENT PAYS TUITION IN $1 BILLS Increasing tuition rates motivated University of Colorado sophomore Nic Eamos to pay his spring semester tuition, totaling more than $14,300, in mostly $1 bills, according to a Jan. 15 article in The New York Times. "...it's just an absurd amount of money,' Eamos told The New York Times. "I wanted to give the school a different way to look at tuition." In order to acquire what turned out to be a 33-pound bag full of cash, Eamos had to travel to several differ- ent banks over a span of two days, the article states. - MARYHANNAHAN AND JOSEPHLICHTERMAN .3 3 V erizon appealed to the kr Federal Communications ye I Commission on Thursday to challenge the FCC's L5. recent ruling regarding net in neutrality rules, CNN report- ed.
