IMU Executive Director’s appointment ‘shameful,’ but fortunate

Thursday, July 5,2007 12:53 p.m.

Union Board President Sarah McDonough’s article (“No student input for the IMU Executive Director,” June 27) was wholly warranted. It is shameful that the IU administration did not include students in the process of appointing a new director of the Indiana Memorial Union.

Soldiers not terrorists

Thursday, July 5,2007 12:52 p.m.

In response to “Wake Up!” by Grace Low (June 25): Ms. Low has good reason to be angry at the deaths of civilians in a recent air strike in Afghanistan. However, the U.S. military should not bear the brunt of her criticisms. In describing the air strike, Ms. Low downplayed the significance of the terrorists’ presence in the targeted building. The primary target was Abu Laith al-Libi, al-Qaida’s leader in Afghanistan and one of Osama bin Laden’s top lieutenants.

Transfer credit agreements just the beginning

Thursday, July 5,2007 12:50 p.m.

The recent flurry of agreements in Indiana allowing students to seamlessly transfer community college credits to four-year public institutions is welcome news. These agreements are the first of many steps Indiana must take to position itself for rapid economic change in a world where high school graduates are no longer guaranteed positions in the middle class.

Clinton/Moore '08

By Anna Piontek · Thursday, July 5,2007 12:49 p.m.

When Michael Moore sees injustice, he does not waste time pandering to our rational side. Instead he pulls our heartstrings, appeals to our sympathy for the everyman and points an angry, nay, incensed finger at the powers that be. He does all this and more in “SiCKO,” his new documentary about the American health care system.

No Summer of Love

By Brian McFillen · Thursday, July 5,2007 12:48 p.m.

I am so tired of reading about the Summer of Love. More specifically, I’m tired of reading fawning, nostalgia-dripping, Boomer-ego-stroking articles about the 40th anniversary of the Summer of Love. “It was a magical time of free love and consciousness-altering experimentation,” you say? “It showed the power of young people to change the world,” you say? So, you say you got a revolution?

Tortured artists

By Amanda Lowry · Thursday, July 5,2007 12:47 p.m.

On Monday night, I came to an embarrassing realization: I didn’t know who won the last four seasons of “American Idol.”

Sink the Quiz

Thursday, July 5,2007 12:46 p.m.

Last week, a group of researchers released their findings about the “Thirsty Thursday” drinking habits of 3,341 volunteer undergraduates. The study, published in the journal “Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research,” found that about half of students who had late or no Friday classes drank on Thursday nights, but only one-third of students drank who had classes at or before 10 a.m. Furthermore, two-thirds of those drinkers with late or no Friday classes consumed a “binge amount” of alcohol.

Eighteen undergraduate students recently returned from a 25-day trip to Ghana. The trip ran from May 11 through June 3 and allowed the group to travel throughout Ghana not only to learn about Ghanaian culture, but about the transatlantic slave trade as well.

Americana acoustic band stops at Bluebird Nightclub Saturday

By Lena Stouppe · Thursday, July 5,2007 12:39 p.m.

For a band that has been together more than six years and played more than 700 shows, Railroad Earth’s musical philosophy is simple: “It’s really just about the music. If people are there to hear it, it’s just extra,” Tim Carbone, the band’s violinist, said.

When grunge ruled the world: A tribute to Chris Cornell

By Joe Livarchik and Maria Srour · Thursday, July 5,2007 12 a.m.

Older, wiser, but still successful, Cornell and the guys in Pearl Jam have come a long way from the solemn grunge rockers the world came to know in the early '90s. Yes, they are now elder statesmen with children and families but they have found their way out of the rain and are not afraid to enjoy the sun.
