Chelsea moves in at Oxford
Electronic Telegraph ^ | 01/10/2001 | Stewart Payne and Charlie Talbot

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.

They don't have anyone to dress them any longer. He also needs a haircut. I guess he can't afford a $200 job any longer since the taxpayer's aren't paying for it.

Over a mile, maybe 1 1/2, depending on what side of town.

I read on this forum that Clinton AND Hillary have SS protection for life as do other ex-presidents and spouses.

Yup,that's what I have read,too. One thing I DO know is that Bubbette! was asked to drop her SS protection after she won her Senate seat because the SS agents got in the way,and because the Senate has their own security. She refused.

I also know Bubba signed a XO to extend the SS protection for Bubbette! Jr. Adult children of former presidents don't normally get SS protection.

If it ever dawns on Bill Clinton that Chelsea's murder by "alleged" terrorists would be beneficial to his legacy search she can kiss her ugly ass goodbye.

Yep. Hillary give up her SS protection?

Who would fetch her broom and luggage?

She was BORN to this life, after all. Just ask her.

You purposely seek out threads that make you cringe. Quit your bit**ing and moaning.

Chelsea and X42 don't relate to each other like a normal father and daughter. This pictures make them look more like lovers than parent and child. Also, they hold hands so often it is just plain weird. The ONLY man I have ever known to hold his teenage daughters hand so much had secretly been molesting her for years. She didn't tell until she was 35. I suspect Chelsea will make a similar revelation some day.

I thought we debunked this myth several days ago. On top of that, I'm willing to bet Chelsea's "jogging" program is only slightly more serious than Bill's.

"Where was her dad that he could not be contacted? "

Australia. Doncha remember?
All flights were grounded, and he had to call State Dept to arrange for a
military jet to fly him home so he could "feel the pain."

Her dad was jammed into a harness inside that cargo plane, stuffed between the side of the aircraft and a military payload. The sound of the engines was so loud that it would have drowned out any cell phone call.

God bless President Bush.

My mother just reminded me that Bill and his own mother hung out together just like Chelsea and Bill do, "dating" each other.

Weird.

Geez, I wonder if he's asked Chels to model that new bikini he bought for her awhile back (while he was shopping down in Brasil with Anthony Hopkins). When he gave it to her, he said, "Hey baby, who's your daddy?"
