Boston, MA – Mayor Michelle Wu and the Boston Parks and Recreation Department have officially announced the City’s acquisition of the Egleston Square Peace Garden, ensuring the preservation of this community space for future generations.

By The Gatepost Editorial Board Miles Bibb Hall sustained more than $100,000 in damages after a fire started in a student’s room, causing water damage throughout the building, according to an FSUPD police report. Miles Bibb was evacuated and temporarily closed on Aug.16. The early-arrival residents on campus who occupied Miles Bibb were temporarily moved to Linsley Hall while repairs were underway. On Oct.11, residents in Corinne Hall Towers experienced two building evacuations in the early morning hours due to students smoking in hallways, according to an email sent to residents from residence director Jaslyne Lemus-Avila. The email stated that “this behavior is unacceptable and has a large negative impact on our community.” Smoking inside a Framingham State building is prohibited because it poses a fire safety hazard and will lead to student conduct charges. The email went on to state, “We know that many of you are extremely frustrated with these incidents and have had your lives disrupted. We are committed to working with our community members to address these issues.” The Gatepost editorial board agrees that this behavior shows a complete disregard for your peers and neighbors. The behavior that caused two fire alarm evacuations in the span of a couple of hours is childish and shows a lack of regard for the resources of the FSUPD and the Framingham Fire Department. This careless behavior has to change - especially after your peers suffered because of the consequences of a costly fire only a few months ago. When will we learn? What it boils down to is selfishness. If students want to legally take part in smoking off campus, that is their decision. But do not make it everyone else's problem when your actions create a significant inconvenience for hundreds of people. Smoking in the hallway, out in the open, takes it one step further, not even trying to hide what you are doing.
