BOLLINO'S CORNER TIRANA - It will be the main issue for nearly a month. The decision to close the old dormitory of the Student City has sparked a wave of strong controversy.

The controversy continues and does not seem likely to die down soon. In these circumstances, it is important to underline that the debate has become increasingly political and less and less connected to the real conditions of students. Newspapers should not fuel confusion, but help clarify the facts and encourage a civilized debate. Public opinion needs explanation, not shouting.
