Medical Requirements Bar Some From Classes
Some students studying at Boston University this summer are still not allowed to attend class because they have not been cleared of being immune to measles, two weeks after the disease was detected on campus, university officials said. Most students have shown they are immune or received free immunization from Student Health Services, said BU spokesman Colin Riley. The university cannot release the exact number of students who have been barred from classes.
GOP Candidates Divided on War, Immigration Reform
MANCHESTER, N.H. — Ten Republican presidential candidates split on the future of the Iraq war and recent legislation to give citizenship to millions of illegal immigrants Tuesday night at a primary debate at Saint Anselm College, two days after Democrats sparred over similar issues in an almost identical forum. Undeterred by a lightning storm that disrupted broadcast of the debate several times, candidates quickly delved into current immigration law, former President Bill Clinton’s “don’t-ask-don’t-tell” policy and the handling of troops in Iraq — which overshadowed all other conversation. While candidates almost unanimously agreed that the invasion of the country was initially justified, they were divided over the next steps to be taken in the overseas endeavor.

Democrats Clash Over War in 2nd Debate
MANCHESTER, N.H. — Withdrawing troops from Iraq was the most heated issue among the eight Democratic candidates running for president Sunday night as they sought to separate themselves from the pack at Saint Anselm College in the earliest televised debate in New Hampshire primary history. In their second Democratic debate since April, the candidates were defensive and quicker to disagree with their counterparts, with some questioning their decisions to vote for the war and others arguing about continued funding. They also attacked each other for their plans for universal healthcare, immigration reform and rising gas prices. Multimedia Slideshow on fStop
