The article entitled “Indignity in Death” written by Matt Cohen, dated Dec. 10, 2021, takes literary license to a new level. The first paragraph reads like the opening of a fiction novel that has no basis in fact except that I do visit the gravesite of my family members to decorate and tend to their graves. Years ago, I promised my mother that I would continue to do that in her stead. However, I am not trying to talk to my great-grandfather H.V. Eagleson. Unfortunately, I never had the pleasure or the privilege of knowing him because he passed decades before I was even born.

Have you noticed a weird-looking guy walking around campus and town taking phone pictures of food on the ground? That’s me. Our streets are littered with wasted food, so I started snapping pictures whenever I encountered such waste as an ominous reminder of a major social problem.

On Oct. 4, 2021, Gov. Eric Holcomb signed legislation establishing Indiana's electoral maps for the next 10 years. The maps will maintain the current legislative supermajority and produce little competition, despite the demand throughout Indiana for fair maps and citizen input.

As I reflect on the 20 years since the Sept. 11 attack on our nation, I am struck by how many reading this brief missive were not yet born or have no memory of this terrible tragedy. For those who vividly remember, the day had an unparalleled impact on each of us. However, we must also acknowledge the impact this event inadvertently had on our current students when our country's trajectory was changed. We all share in the need to honor those who lost their lives, and we collectively remain grateful for the volunteers, the first responders and our armed forces who met the tragic moment with unwavering service to our country.

If you’re a first-year student at IU this fall, you probably weren’t yet born that tragic Tuesday morning twenty years ago. Some current IU students were toddlers at the time. But the legacy of those devastating attacks altered the world you have grown up in — from airport security measures to our nation’s involvement in the country’s longest-ever war in Afghanistan to new international pressures. In one way, 9/11 and this weekend’s 20th anniversary of it serve to bookend your childhood. At the same time, Saturday’s commemoration can offer an opportunity for profound reflection on the path ahead.

As an IU student and animal lover, I was encouraged to see the Indiana Daily Student’s coverage of Wildlife in Need’s Tim Stark being barred from owning and exhibiting exotic and native animals. For too long, Stark exploited the animals he kept at Wildlife in Need, especially the big cat and bear cubs featured in “Baby Tiger Playtime.

Derek Chauvin was found guilty of second-degree murder, manslaughter and third-degree murder of George Floyd last week. This news sparked a lot of satisfaction across the country. The verdict is a big win for Black America, which means it is a win for all of America. The verdict however, is not justice. It is accountability.

With respect to the article “OPINION: City council amendment easing homeless shelter restrictions is a good first step” written by Molly Hayes, I agree with her position that she still feels there’s room for improvement in relation to how Bloomington as a city treats our homeless population.

I frequently read the Indiana Daily Student online. While I find many of the articles either informative or uninteresting to me, I enjoy the opportunity to “re-visit” with a virtual visit to my alma mater. I follow the struggle to keep the paper financially viable and wish it well.

Any discussion of “purity culture” that does not discuss the harm done by this practice is incomplete.

As IU has announced, the 2021-22 academic year will be in-person. As exciting as that sounds, COVID-19 is still rampant around the world. So far, there are no finalized health and safety precautions that IU has announced.

My name is Abe Leite. You may remember me from my complaint about Inspire’s unsolicited emails.

For the academic year 2021-22, IU is welcoming students back to campus in person once more. However, while discussing the academic calendar, leaders at IU have decided that fall break is not necessary, and for now spring break remains undecided.

It is clear the discussions about the 2021 Little 500’s timing focused on the parties IU wanted to avoid — especially during a pandemic. It was reasonable and warranted for them to do so. However, it is clear the Little 500 had no voice in those discussions.

The IU Student Government executive elections are in full swing, with three tickets vying for first place in an election that will take place on April 1 and 2.

In the March 4 issue of the Indiana Daily Student, a piece was published by Stefan Towes outlining the stunted development of Black music at the hands of copyright law, but the article makes misleading claims about copyright law’s impact.
