Exit Wounds

To watch a Steven Seagal film, one must fully suspend all disbelief. And to fully enjoy the audacity of Seagal, one must ignore all of the consequences associated with fistfights in flashy nightclubs, gun battles, car crashes and being able to cash out stock options from a dot-com and then create a private surveillance unit devoted to uncovering a ring of corrupt Detroit cops involved in smuggling heroin inside of sweatshop-produced T-shirts.

Philanthropies just social events

A few issues were called to my attention upon reading an IDS article entitled "Greeks get down and dirty for philanthropy" (March 26). Upon reading the headline, I was satisfied with the fact that the IU greek system was once again raising money by organizing some sort of social event.

L-permit useless without more parking spaces

I am writing in response to the L-permit story ("Pass offers late-night parking," March 28). Yes, cheaper prices are nice for people like me who come on campus from 10 minutes away, and avoiding tickets would also be a welcome surprise. But another permit on campus, you gotta be kidding.

Little 500 more than drunken students

Matt Csanyi has absolutely no idea what the Little 500 is about ("Little 500: The stupidest IU tradition," March 28). The Little 500 is not about getting drunk, as he attempted to illustrate in his article. I think he is just a little bitter because he was a very poor rider during his stint in the Little 500.

The Mike-ademy awards

Movies are only good if you've seen them. I know that sounds crazy, but it's just crazy enough to be true.

Surviving the mid-semester slump

Sharpened pencils, new pens brimming with ink, empty notebooks, a couple thousand dollars worth of new textbooks … I love starting a new semester. Half-eaten sandwiches rotting in the bottom of a backpack, essays written hastily with the help of Cliffs Notes and a thesaurus two hours before they're due, random syllabi floating around in a cluttered, much-doodled notebook … I detest the last few weeks of a semester.

Bloomington United meeting addresses city's racial issues

About 80 people came together Tuesday night at the Banneker Center to discuss the fault lines that separate blacks from whites in Bloomington. A topic that rarely occurs without debate, the discussion of how the races interact in Bloomington became emotional.

Evolution theory must be taught

The state of Arkansas has taken a step back in time. A committee of the Arkansas House of Representatives approved legislation banning the evolution theory from textbooks. The bill now moves on to the full House for a vote. Just 20 years ago, the Arkansas state Legislature approved a similar piece of legislation that was ruled unconstitutional in federal courts.

Program combines business training, liberal arts

The College of Arts and Sciences offers programming for students who want to mix their liberal arts education with a business background.

New IUSA execs plan policies

The IU Student Association's executive officers are gearing up to take office April 19. The administration has been working with the new executives to ensure a smooth transition, said senior Steven Bierly, current treasurer.

Pass offers late-night parking

Students driving to campus in the evening will have a new parking option starting this fall. The L-permit, proposed last year by the IU Student Association, will allow students to park in A,C and E spots any time after 5 p.m. until 8 a.m. the next day, with the exception of spots for 24-hour usage. The permit also includes access to parking garages at the same hours.

Team opens spring schedule

The IU women's soccer team opened its spring schedule Saturday with a 2-0 win against St. Louis. IU got on the board in the first half when the Hoosiers played a deep ball in the Biliken zone where IU freshman Kim Sturm one-timed a ball past the SLU keeper. Freshman Shelly Gruszka added the assist.
