law student, I sincerely hope that the utmost is done, in all institutions to eradicate abuse.

The university authorities and the Faculty of Law have no choice but to take the proper action to do away with this abuse and discipline the perpetrators.

Robert Musumeci and Alex Herrera should not be given preferential treatment because of their political connections (or in Alex’s case, his mother’s).

As for Musumeci, the first time I saw him, he came across as another St. Dominic Savio, all holy and just and an upright member of society.

But I was proved very wrong in my assessment.

Emigrate.

If the course followed is not the person’s first, that is, someone has already passed from a course, and now that person has applied for another course, then they are not entitled to a stipend.

Unless the course is a doctorate, in which case the stipend is given, even if this is their second course at university. The only courses eligible for this scheme are the Doctor of Medicine and Surgery course, and the Doctor of Laws course.

But this is all the more proof that it is irrelevant which party is in power as the clique’s roots run deep in this country.

It is a shame that such things occur and continue to do so, however one could adapt the colloquialism ‘don’t hate the player hate the game’. For if there is opportunity for such abuse one may rest assured that there will be abusers, such a fact is inherent in the very nature of society. Heqq X’taghmel hux? Stamp your feet? Play the system too?

Emigrate?

The rest of us students get a warning when we miss three lectures and he has missed them all over three years and is allowed to continue up into fourth year.

I was ready to bring this issue up had they not allowed one of us to sit for the exam due to missing three lectures as this guy never turned up.

A hundred of us failed Obligations, some of us by even 3 marks and are risking repeating a whole year.

I can assure you that most of us who failed attended all lectures and many of us even have straight As in other subjects. Yet Robert seems to pass with flying colours year after year without being at a single lecture and while working as a very busy architect and now even MEPA consultant, and in the evening he is either on television or radio.

He even asks for our notes.

But the Law Faculty seems to let him do as he pleases and instead picks on students who sre not public figures and who do not have any power to defend themselves and so instead give up.

I seriously hope something is done about this man.

Labour MP Silvio Schembri. The PM appointed him to head the parliamentary group on financial and economic affairs.

His wife Deandra Schembri (aged 27 and a recent law graduate) has been appointed to the Police Board and helped reach the decision on Elton Taliana.

Do you think anybody at the university is going to stick their neck out by rapping a Labour Party favourite on the knuckles?

I’d be interested to know how many lectures Miriam Dalli goes to – she’s got a full-time job at Vodafone.

Or Charlon Gouder, with his full-time job at One News and now in PS Jose Herrera’s office.

We’re talking about people on the make here, and let’s not forget it.
