He said Tufts decision to remove the magazine's posters violated the publications right to free speech.

But Rosemarie Van Camp, director of communications and public relations at Tufts, said that the Source had violated university policy by postering in areas other than the kiosks officially designated throughout the campus.

"The only fliers that had been removed were those that had been posted in inappropriate places," Van Camp said last Thursday.

"We certainly respect the right of any student to express his or her opinion, but it has to be done under university guidelines," Van Camp added.

But Delaney said that all of the fliers had been removed, including those on kiosks.

"I will readily admit that we put [the posters] in places that we weren't supposed to, but the fact is they tore them down everywhere," Delaney said. "It completely goes against what [the University] told the press they did."

Although the conservative magazine was critical of Grant's admission and presence on campus, most Tufts students interviewed said Grant should be allowed to attend college without media attention.

"I think that anyone that made that [flier] should get a life," first-year student Kevin R. Ng. "She's my classmate. Find some other girl to pick on."

Grant will live this semester in a single room in Bush Hall, a dormitory on the southern end of campus.

Delaney says the single room shows that Grant is receiving special tratment from the administration.

Delaney points to the fact that Tufts President John DiBaggio intervened personally in the admissions process to approve admission for Grant as proof that she is being treated differently.

"I accept responsibility for [her enrollment]," DiBaggio told the Tufts Observer six days before Grant moved in.

"She is the only freshman with a single. That's unheard of," Delaney said.

Asked to comment on Grant's presence last week, both the Office of the President and the Dean of Students deferred comment to Van Camp.

But Tufts has made its support for Grant clear since the day she was accepted there.

"It is our view that having paid her debt to society, [Grant] should not be denied the opportunity of pursuing a college degree," said an official university statement. "We intend to do all that we can to help her achieve that goal. We are after all, a just and fair society, and Tufts is a caring and forgiving university. In essence, any other decision would have been antithetical to our fundamental values and beliefs."

Delaney took issue with that statement.

"She really hasn't paid her debt to society," Delaney said. "She served six months. That's nothing compared to what she did to her mother. She simply doesn't deserve a second chance."
