 Montgomery Offers Insight Into The Neighborhood
by The HeightsOct 04, 2009“For the past nine years, Steve Montgomery has spent his Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings on the streets of Allston-Brighton, Newton, and Brookline ensuring students' safety, addressing the complaints of community members, and, if the need arises, breaking up the occasional 2 a.m. party.
Montgomery, Boston College's off-campus student community liaison, is better known to most students as the "off-campus RA." While many students living off campus dread late night encounters with Montgomery, with over nine years of experience dealing with community issues he can be an invaluable resource for students living off campus currently and for those who plan to do so next year.”

by The HeightsOct 04, 2009“Back in the unburdened, freewheeling days of my early freshman year, I regularly committed a criminal act that I now find unconscionable: fare evasion.

Doing the dirty work to make it big
by The HeightsApr 29, 2009“A rookie safety waits for the kickoff. He is ready. He has spent five years competing in an overachieving, perennially-underrated defense, and he is ready for this: the Big Time. It is Saturday, August 16, 2008, and he is playing in the Georgia Dome, not Alumni Stadium. He is playing against a real team, and he is here to prove that he is the real thing, that he deserves to be one of the 53 Chosen Ones.
The ball sails through the air, and the safety tells himself, Go. He sprints downfield. Another player is in his way, so the safety nudges him aside.”
Shining Path terrorists resurge in Peru
by The HeightsApr 29, 2009“The Shining Path, a violent Maoist terrorist group that fell into relative obscurity almost 15 years ago in Peru, has resurged. Known in Peru as the Sendero Luminoso, the Shining Path ambushed a military patrol on May 9, killing 13 soldiers and creating widespread fear that this may not be an isolated incident. The attack, which took place in the Southeast Ayacucho region of Peru, has worried many that amid the economic hard times that Peru has fallen on, the Shining Path is ready to fight another day. Bernand Aronson, assistant secretary of state for inter-American affairs under the first President Bush, captured the state of affairs by stating, "It's like that horror movie, Friday the 13th.

Slasherology
by The HeightsApr 29, 2009“Five Lessons Learned from Horror Movies
1. The police are not a reliable resource of protection when in trouble. The only reason for their existence is to mock you, second guess every claim you make, and waste time while the death toll rises. Forget any possibility of them actually investigating your tales of death and destruction, you don't expect them to respond to every call, do you? It doesn't matter if the same undead killer has risen from the grave for six sequels, all of which take place in that town; you are ridiculous and possibly unstable for suggesting that he is alive and in business.” | News Topics
