Wildcats whimper into Bloomington

By Heater A. Dinich and Heather A. Dinich · Wednesday, Feb. 14,2001 12:43 a.m.

Northwestern coach Bill Carmody was blunt, honest and somewhere between despair and hope at this year's Big Ten media day in Chicago. After four years as head coach at Princeton, where he guided the Tigers to the postseason every year, Carmody took the head coaching job with one of the worst teams in the Big Ten. And he knew it.

Power crisis a possibility for Midwestern states

By Sarah Tolson · Wednesday, Feb. 14,2001 12:16 a.m.

It's a possibility that Indiana could face the rolling blackouts and sky-rocketing electricity prices that have plagued California and the West for the past few months. The state's energy crisis could ripple throughout the Midwest. "All regions of the country are vulnerable to inadequate power resources because of increased demand and a lack of development of additional capacity or supply," said Linda Williamsom, Cinergy's executive director in the Bloomington Economic Development Corporation.

IUSA abuses power, acted unlawfully

By James Morris and James T. Morris · Tuesday, Feb. 13,2001 11:42 p.m.

I have been a student at the Bloomington campus for three years, and I have always heard of the rampant corruption of the IUSA. However, until reading about the disqualification of the TOGA party, I have never been so thoroughly revolted. IUSA has abused its power by forcefully and fraudulently eliminating a party ticket simply because they are afraid of TOGA's popular support. I don't remember any portion of the IUSA constitution that says the current people in power are allowed to have dictatorial powers over the students. This pattern of corruption in order to maintain the status quo is reminiscent of the "purges" that were prevalent during the reign of Joseph Stalin.

By Chris Edwards · Tuesday, Feb. 13,2001 11:06 p.m.

Dorms must go smoke-free

Tuesday, Feb. 13,2001 11:04 p.m.

Residential Programs and Services is considering a proposal to declare all dorms smoke-free by 2003. Seven other Big Ten schools, most recently Purdue, have instated smoke-free dorms with little resistance from students. This proposal should be supported by students -- smokers and nonsmokers -- because it will provide long-term benefits to the student body.

Waechter's column derogatory

By Jeffrey C. Isaac · Tuesday, Feb. 13,2001 11:02 p.m.

Calling someone, President George W. Bush or anyone else, a "rich white man" or a "racist," or even "a rich white man who is a racist," may be wrong, and it may even be wrong in some morally blameworthy way (it may also be a correct and morally praiseworthy thing to say). But it is not an act of racism or bigotry. On the other hand, talk about "miserly Jews" or "drug-snorting coloreds" is racism and bigotry.

Mitchel's column lacks tolerance

By Christopher L. Fink · Tuesday, Feb. 13,2001 10:56 p.m.

As I sat with my mouth agape, reading Duncan Mitchel's opinion column entitled "Minorities of the World Unite" (Jan. 26), I wondered what could possibly be the point of this piece. How ironic that the "coordinator" of the Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual Speakers Bureau at an institution of higher learning would be so inept as to reduce his judgments of others to broad generalizations. It is not only unethical to generalize about any race, color, or sexual preference, it is (or should be) unacceptable.

Dividing the world into 2 camps

By Mark A. Price · Tuesday, Feb. 13,2001 10:48 p.m.

There are two types of people: those who unconsciously assume a position of reverence when Celine Dion sings "My Heart Will Go On," and those who find such a thought somewhat frightening.

State must provide more funds for higher education

By Myles Brand · Tuesday, Feb. 13,2001 10:45 p.m.

For our University, every biennial state budget is important. But that's especially true this year. Without strong budgetary support, Indiana's public colleges and universities will be unable to build on the progress we have made.
