Early Friday morning, stu- dentswere alertedby e-mailthat a laundry line of soiled clothing - later proved to be stained by chocolate - was strung outside the Saybrook residence hall. Yale security officials say they're increasing security in laundary rooms; but students tell the Daily News that it's unclear if changes have been made at other residence halls. Yale police and. administra- tors are investigating the issue and reviewing laundry-room security. The Daily News reports that rumors have come to light on campus that suggest that a prank group may be responsible for the soiling. In incidents like this, hall directors at Yale, known as masters, are finding it difficult to protect the safety of stu- dents while still allowing them to have freedom from constant surveillance, according to the Daily News.

Turmoil leaves scars on Cairo * Vivacious city now has curfew, unfriendly spirit CAIRO (AP) - Egypt's capital has long been proud of its nick- name, "Mother of the World" - a metropolis of 18 million throbbing with the vitality and fun of other great cities, even if at times it seemed unmanage- able and chaotic. But Cairo's spirit has been deeply scarred by 32 months of turmoil and bloodshed from two "revolutions," constant protests and crackdowns, and a military coup. Residents talk of an unfa- miliar edginess. People are more suspicious of each other, whether because of increased crime or constant media warn- ings of conspiracies and terror- ism. Families are split by bitter ideological differences. Fights' are sparked by a word or a ges- ture seen as supporting either the military or the Islamists who were ousted from power by the armed forces. The mood goes beyond ideol- ogy. With police battered by the upheaval and rarely enforcing regulations, many people flout laws with no thought of the consequences - whether it's the cafes that take over side- walks or thugs who seize plots of land. A curfew in place for nearly two months has put a damper on Cairo's nightlife. It has been eased to start at midnight, but that was usually the hour when streets and parties were just getting lively. Political violence has killed more than 2,000 people in the city and wounded many oth- ers, starting with the Jan. 25, 2011, revolution that ousted autocrat Hosni Mubarak. That was followed by demonstra- tions against the military rulers who replaced Mubarak, the pro- tests during President Moham- med Morsi's year in office, and the June 30 "revolution" that prompted the July 3 coup against the president. "Political differences have made some people lose their humanity," said Shaiymaa Awad, a 32-year-old Morsi sup- porter. Awad said she was in a bus recently that drove past Rabaah el-Adawiya, the mosque where hundreds of Islamists were killed in August when police cracked down on a sit-in demanding Morsi's reinstate- ment. When she broke down crying, "other passengers looked sur- prised, but none of them under- stood why," Awad said. The Rabaah mosque is not the only city landmark now more famous for one of the violent incidents of the past 21/2 years. Others include: - Ajistoric bridge over the Nile, once a favored romantic spot for couples, that was the site of a battle between police and anti-Mubarak protesters. - The towering Nile-side state TV headquarters nick- named "Maspero," now known for the army's killing of more than 25 Christian protesters. - Moqattam, once simply the rocky plateau overlooking the city where couples went to steal kisses, now- remembered for a bloody street fight between Muslim Brotherhood support- ers and opponents. New neighborhoods joined the list Sunday, when Morsi supporters and police clashed, killing at least 40 people. With more streets strewn with debris and blackened by fires, Cairenes fear the city is turning into a Baghdad or a Beirut at their most violent. "Blood is everywhere," said Belal Fadl, a popular satirical columnist and scriptwriter, "It is good that life goes on after every episode of blood- shed, but it is terrible from a human perspective," he said, adding that people now react to violence "as if they are watching it on asilver screen."
