When students have reached the end of their mandatory two-year residency requirements, most pack up and move off-campus. However, because of recent student behavior issues and an administrative backlash by both the city and university, a new program has been established to facilitate cooperation. The Community Assistant Program - a university initiative - employs local residents in the off-campus areas to act as go-betweens for students and local officials. Duties for the community assistants emulate that of resident assistants' role in some ways, as they include providing information concerning managing of safe parties and dealing with landlords and police officers. Although the program is good in theory as a possible response to past off-campus disruptions, whether the community assistants can prove to be a useful and effective asset has yet to be seen.

The implementation of a new drug testing policy at Alexander High School has raised questions from local residents and students. The policy would require not only student athletes, but also students who drive to school to undergo drug testing. That measure has been a component of the attempt by school administrators to cut down on known illegal prescription drug use by its students. Yet, no matter the circumstances that prompted school officials to adopt the new policy, it constitutes a highly unfair burden that is being placed on the collective student body.
As a daily reader of The Post, I would like to respond to Mark Gaffney's letter (Oct. 14, Dems' voter registration efforts go unheeded).
