In this week’s Feature, the Voice has a first-hand account of this summer’s election in Iran from a Georgetown student.  “This past summer, I had planned to learn more about Iran’s huge, underground gay community for my thesis and help my friends gather signatures for a feminist movement that would challenge Iran’s patriarchal laws. I had never intended to  get involved in the election.”

Kara Brandeisky has the inside scoop on 61-Ds—citations for excessive noise that show up as arrests on your permanent record—in News.  Six have been issued to students so far this year.
