A new factor has been added to ugly courtroom custody battles as the court systems have been confronted by grandparents who are fighting to keep visitation rights with grandchildren in spite of the wishes of the child's parent. States have been swinging back and forth on the issue, but last week Ohio joined the side for the grandparents' rights with a unanimous decision from the Ohio Supreme Court. The court ruled in favor of the rights of grandparents who wanted to play an active role in their grandchild's life, despite the father's allegations that they had attempted to turn the child against him after the death of the child's mother. The ruling is a positive one for Ohio families because it will allow the wishes of the grandparents to be heeded, thus allowing the advantages of extended family relations - provided they are in the best interest of the child.

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.
