Every week, Berkeleyside publishes dozens of articles about what’s going on in Berkeley. Some of them might have passed you by. Here are three stories we think you’ll want to catch up on.
1. Illegal enrollment in Berkeley’s schools? Good or bad?

2. Berkeley Police renew call for Tasers after attempted killing of officer
After a violent attack on a Police officer in West Berkeley on Monday, the president of the Berkeley Police Association is asking city officials to consider the use of Tasers.
3. Vintage baseball: grit and gore, yes, but so much more civil
