The issue is F&M: Security acting as municipal police outside the property. (Orwellian at best!) It is important to not allow that issue to completely overshadow the original issue of the alleged preferential legal treatment of F&M students at the whim of the administration. Too often, as controversies evolve, the core issue becomes buried.
Editor’s comment: We do not fault John Fry for seeking measured treatment for students, especially since the Iron Hill Restaurant operators apparent gross negligence in leaving the door open virtually invited student misconduct. We do question the wisdom of Fry leasing space under student living quarters to a saloon.
