The strain of recycling

The city of Bloomington has a great recycling program, but it is a program that is hardly used to it’s full potential. There is certainly no lack of access to recycling facilities around the city for those greenies that would like to make their planet just a little more sustainable, but the reality is that the number of participants in such activities is pathetic.

In the Sept. 30 issue of the IDS, radical activists from Hillel and the Indiana Israeli Public Affairs committee claimed that Judge Richard Goldstone’s report to the U.N. human rights council was somehow biased for unfairly targeting Israel – a helpless victim of “terror.” The unfortunate irony was that their column was downright misleading and biased in its own right.

Rather than limiting his criticism to this admittedly unique method of raising funds, however, Hamer takes a leap in logic by attempting to connect this event with crime and murder in his hometown of Gary, Ind.

Preaching on campus should be informed

Commentary regarding the “Woodburn preacher” seem to be a little uninformed. His references to Nazi organizations and DNA connections to early Hebraic/Jewish ancestry are certainly fringe and a bit inconsistent. However, many points he raised are integral to the beliefs of a majority.
