Greetings to the returning students and administration and to the new students - all 650 of you. A special welcome to our new faculty members: Mary Clark, Alan Garfield, John Hasnas, Darren Hutchinson, Cynthia Jones, Claudia Martin, Diego Rodriquez-Piånzon, Celina Romany, Zipporah Wiseman and Marlana Valdez.
Welcome to The American Jurist, the student magazine of the Washington College of Law. Although students write, produce and design most of the magazine, we invite all members of the community, including faculty, staff and alumni, to contribute through article submissions and letters to the editor. Bring us your grunts, groans and grumbles and your laudations too.
E-mail contributions to jurist@wcl.american.edu. Deadlines for this semester are October 7 for the October issue and November 11 for the November issue.
This issue, our primary grumble is parking. Each morning as I drive into WCL's state of the art parking garage, I expect a personal valet to run in front of my car and park it while I run to class - where the bellhop will meet me with my bags. I mean, that's just what an 832 dollar parking pass should buy me in this neighborhood.
But instead, I weave down the narrow alleys of the garage looking for a space that is not quite large enough for my car, my open car door and my burgeoning hips.
But forget my gripe - if you want to make a ruckus with picket signs and lighters (in separate hands), see your SBA representative. They will be compiling your parking complaints all semester to present to AU President Benjamin Ladner. Read Ms. Durán's article about the befalling parking fee increase on pages 12 and 13 or Mr. Jawor's letter to the editor about this year's parking increase opposite this page.
Elsewhere in this issue, new Legal Editor Joshua Smeltzer reviews developments in the "Under God" debate. Senior Editor and longtime Jurist Jack Of All Trades Gunther Oakey explains why the incoming class is enormous and what the administration is doing to rectify the situation. And Dobie the Watchdog, Jurist mascot and dead dog of Oakey's grandmother, perceptively notes the striking similarities between Koko the gorilla and Bush the President.
