However, some students at Dartmouth told the newspaper that they were disappointed in the decision, saying they would have preferred a candidate who better reflected the Ivy League school's diversity. "This could have been a real- ly good time for Dartmouth to break their typical mold and break outside where they've historically gone, because the president is really the face of the College," Dartmouth sophomore Jennifer Davidson said.

The statement said the launch was a request of late leader Kim Jong I1. He died on Dec. 17, 2011, and North Koreans are expect- ed to mark that date this year with some fanfare. The space agency said the rocket would be mounted with a polar-orbiting Earth observation satellite, and maintained its right to develop a peaceful space program. Washington considers North Korea's rocket launches to be veiled covers for tests of tech- nology for long-range missiles designed to strike the Unit- ed States, and such tests are banned bythe United Nations. "A North Korean 'satellite' launch would be a highly pro- vocative act," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said in Washington, D.C. "Any North Korean launch using bal- listic missile technology is in direct violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions."

M Supreme Constitutional Court on Sunday to prevent the judges from entering. Egypt's high courtOj J Justices will march to protest Pres. Morsi's decree of power CAIRO (AP) - Egypt's highest court joined a judicial rebellion against President Mohammed Morsi on Sunday by declaring an open-ended strike on the day it was supposed to rule on the legit- imacy of two key assemblies con- trolled by allies of the Islamist leader. The strike by the Supreme Constitutional Court and opposi- tion plans to march on the presi- dential palace on Tuesday take the country's latest political cri- sis to a level not seen in the nearly two years of turmoil since Hosni Mubarak's ouster in a popular uprising. Judges from the country's highest appeals court and its sister lower court were already on an indefinite strike, joining colleagues from other tribunals who suspended work last week to protest what they saw as Morsi's assault on the judiciary. The last time Egypt had an all- out strike by the judiciary was in 1919, when judges joined an uprising against British colonial rule. The standoff began when Morsi issued decrees on Nov. 22 giving him near-absolute pow- ers that granted himself and the Islamist-dominated assembly drafting the new constitution immunity from the courts. The constitutional panel then raced in a marathon session. last week to vote on the charter's 236 clauses without the partici- pation of liberal and Christian members. The fast-track hearing pre-empted a decision from the Supreme Constitutional Court that was widely expected to dis- solve the constituent assembly. The judges -on Sunday post- poned their ruling on that case just before they went on strike. Without a functioning justice system, Egypt will be plunged even deeper into turmoil. It has already seen a dramatic surge in crime after the uprising, while state authority is being chal- lenged in many aspects of life and the courts are burdened by a massive backlog of cases. "The country cannot func- tion for long like this, something has to give," said Negad Borai, a private law firm director and a rights activist. 'We are in a coun- try without courts of law and a president with all the powers in his hands. This is a clear-cut dic- tatorial climate," he said. Mohamed Abdel-Aziz, a rights Mohammed Morsi surrounded the ins strike lawyer, said the strike by the judges will impact everything from divorce and theft to finan- cial disputes that, in some cases, could involve foreign investors. "Ordinary citizens affected by the strike will become curious about the details of the current political crisis and could possi- bly make a choice to join the pro- tests," he said. The Judges Club, a union with 9,500 members, said late Sunday that judges would not, as custom- ary, oversee the national referen- dum Morsi called for Dec. 15 on the draft constitution hammered out and hurriedly voted on last week. The absence of their over- sight would raise more questions about the validity of the vote. If the draft is passed-in the referen- dum, parliamentary electionsare to follow two months later and they too may not have judicial supervision. The judges say they will remain on strike until Morsi rescinds his decrees, which the Egyptian leader said were tem- porary and needed to protect the nation's path to democratic rule. For now, however, Morsi has to contend with the fury of the judiciary. The constitutional court called Sunday "the Egyptian judiciary's blackest day on record."
