| Students travel to D.C. for war protest
Notre Dame students returned to campus Sunday after joining tens of thousands in Washington, D.C. to protest the Iraq war and other policies of the Bush administration. Saturday's protest marked a "turning point in the anti-war movement," said Michael Angulo, vice-president of Notre Dame's Progressive Student Alliance.
"I think that everyone had a really good time and I think that the protest in general was a really good thing," he said
Angulo organized the group of 30 students to drive to Washington on Friday for the protest, a function sponsored by the United for Peace and Justice coalition.
Junior Mike McCann said he was "a little hesitant at first" in deciding to go on the trip, not wanting "to go to something that was antagonistic." But he said the protest didn't have that kind of spirit.
Former teacher sues Decatur School District under Americans With ...
DECATUR -JoAnne "Jody" O'Dell, a former Eisenhower High School dean, is suing the Decatur School District for failure to accommodate her under the Americans with Disabilities Act.O'Dell's complaint alleges that she was unwillingly removed from the job of principal at South Shores School and moved to Eisenhower. At South Shores, court papers say, O'Dell was forced by her health problems - asthma, depression and other emotional disorders - to take time off from work. Once she arrived at Eisenhower, the principal allegedly told her she would not tolerate taking time off. Her physician requested the district accommodate O'Dell's disabilities by, among other things, limiting her time working at the school or related activities to no more than 45 hours a week or nine hours a day.O'Dell said that she helped stop a fight in the hallway in October 2003 and was exposed to pepper spray, which aggravated her asthma.
