GU Pride, an organization of support for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students, announced plans for a rally Monday to pressure the university to develop clearer protocols for responding to and preventing hate and bias incidents on campus.
"We're trying to bring together a really diverse assemblage of people to say this sort of violence is not going to be tolerated here," said Scott Chessare, 19, co-president of GU Pride.

NORTHWEST
Man Convicted of Manslaughter
A Northwest Washington man was convicted Friday of involuntary manslaughter and other charges for chasing a man who was later fatally struck by a car.
Marlon K. Blaize, 29, was accused of chasing Tarran Miller and firing a gun into the air in an argument Aug. 21, 2006. Miller, 25, ran into the street, where he was hit by a vehicle at 14th and Fairmont streets NW, prosecutors said. He died six days later.
Blaize will be sentenced Nov. 28 before D.C. Superior Court Judge Erik Christian.
