CHELSEA CLINTON arrived to take up her place at University College, Oxford, yesterday accompanied by her father, Bill, and a host of security men.
Miss Clinton had caused alarm for her parents because she was jogging close to the World Trade Centre on September 11 when the atrocities took place and was unable to tell them she was safe for two hours. Yesterday the former president was at her side as she started life at the college he attended in the late 1960s.
Having said goodbye to her mother, Hillary, a New York senator, Miss Clinton, 21, arrived in Britain with her father, who is expected to remain for several days to help her settle in.
Both Britain and the US provided security officials as she pulled up outside the college buildings. A university spokesman said that it had spoken to both countries to ensure appropriate security measures during her two-year course for a MPhil in international relations.
"Miss Clinton has indicated that she hopes to lead a normal student life, both in terms of her studies and her social life," the spokesman added.
"That was my room," Mr Clinton told his daughter, pointing to the window ledge and adding: "And that was where I used to put the milk to keep it cool. We had no refrigerators."
Miss Clinton, a history graduate from Stanford University, California, will have her own room but with shared facilities. Her first week - freshers week - will be spent getting used to her new home. Her studies begin in earnest next Monday and she joins the college officially at the matriculation ceremony on Oct 13.
The university spokesman indicated that no additional security had been considered necessary following the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington. However, Thames Valley police officers patrolled the narrow cobbled streets around her college before the Clinton motorcade arrived.
Mr Clinton remained outside talking to staff and officials and reminiscing about his time in Oxford, but Chelsea appeared anxious to get inside and escape the drizzle.
Her father attended the university as a Rhodes scholar from 1968-70, staying in accommodation at the back of University College in Kybald Street, once home to the most notorious brothel in Oxford.
"We had no refrigerators."
That must be Oxford English.
Bill was kicked off campus and told never to come back
Chelsea is as shameless as her two mega-sleezoid parental units
Amazing what Presidential influence'll get ya!
I guess Chelsea is now into the gratuitous lie thing her parents do so well.
With at least two Secret Service people with cell phones and other sundry comm gear with her she was "unable to tell them she was safe"?
Where was her dad that he could not be contacted?
>>>"Miss Clinton had caused alarm for her parents because she was jogging close to the World Trade Centre on September 11 "
Remember that game when you were in elementary skool?
The teacher would whisper something in the ear of the first child, and by the time the story went around the room the last child's story wasn't even close to what originally had been said???????
Chelsea 'THOUGHT' about jogging around the WTC complex, which to my satisfaction has been discounted. Yeah, I think about swimming in Hawaii...doesn't mean it's was or ever could happen....
They just had to throw this in, didn't they? It's nothing but further liberal exploitation of tragedy. Very nice.
Now, is he still looking for that place in Ireland? Ireland needs to remember that they cannot provide safe harbor for terrorists.
... and Klinton did not have sex with that woman. Ms Lewinski. I believe the fugly skank was even close to the WTC.
Bubba did his best to try to turn the Whitehouse into the most notorious brothel in the USA.
How ironic that Bill would be used in a sentence that contains the word "brothel".
