‘The Dark Knight’ paints a dark picture of 2008

By Ryan Brown · Wednesday, Sept. 3,2008 11:26 p.m.

Summer is over now, and it is time to reflect on all the cook-outs we went to, how many times we heard “American Boy” on the radio and how much the weather sucks now that we have to bear the intense humidity while walking to class.

Longing for political diversity

Wednesday, Sept. 3,2008 11:24 p.m.

Considering the fact that I am an IU freshman, I thought it would be best to attend the annual CultureFest. The program discussed the obvious diversity that Bloomington possesses, and I walked away with the understanding that variety would be right around the corner. Therefore, I was extremely disappointed when I picked up my first official copy of the Indiana Daily Student. I assumed that diversity included political diversity. However, the opinion section was quite the opposite.

9 minutes too late

Wednesday, Sept. 3,2008 11:21 p.m.

One hundred seventy rounds. Thirty-two people dead and 21 wounded. All of this in less than 10 minutes. The shooting at Virginia Tech on April 16, 2007, was the deadliest in American history, and similar stories have played out all too frequently in our primary and secondary schools.

Pizza Express loses ‘Big Ten Bargain’ name

By Ben Phelps · Wednesday, Sept. 3,2008 11:20 p.m.

The Big Ten Bargain is well-known to IU students. But Pizza Express has changed the signature special to just the “Big Bargain” after receiving a cease-and-desist letter from attorneys representing the Big Ten and the NCAA.

The road less traveled

By Nick Wallace · Wednesday, Sept. 3,2008 11:18 p.m.

This Tuesday our opinion page published a staff editorial criticizing Indiana state Senate candidate Matt Colglazier  for his Labor Day “Walk for Workers.” We accused the IU adviser, who is running to represent southern portions of Monroe County and surrounding areas, of nothing less than flakiness.

Landing the role

By Allison Tyra · Wednesday, Sept. 3,2008 11:16 p.m.

Whether the passion is music, dance or theater, every performer knows the first – and often most nerve-wracking – step is the audition process. While practice and natural talent are important, experts say other factors can improve chances of success.

Privatizing Indiana’s roads

By DJ Funkhouser · Wednesday, Sept. 3,2008 11:14 p.m.

Every year I forget something at my parent’s house in Northwest Indiana when I move back to college. This year was no different – I forgot my mattress. (That’s right, I said I forgot my mattress.) But I did get something besides avoiding future back problems for the $40 I spent traveling back. I got to meet the new neighbors. Here all the way from Spain, they’re working on the newly privatized NW Indiana Toll Road. They shared the goings-on behind the new trend to privatize roads.

Justifying the means

By Ashley Ames · Wednesday, Sept. 3,2008 11:11 p.m.

Something has changed in the McCain camp. The Straight Talk Express has essentially derailed; reporters now travel separate from the candidate, something previously mocked by McCain, and open-ended question time has dwindled due to McCain’s newfound clench on his specific talking points. He has refused to answer hardball questions such as one asked by a “Time” reporter: “Is there anything so far about this campaign that you wish you could take back or you might revisit when it’s over?” No response.

Armed teachers will likely endanger the safety of Texas students

Wednesday, Sept. 3,2008 11:07 p.m.

The Wild Wild West is an integral part of American cultural history. We’ve all watched at least one old movie with John Wayne,  some vigilante justice, and a showdown at high noon, preferably one that combines all three. But we draw the line at turning cowboy-movie psyche into living reality. That’s exactly what the school board in tiny Harrold, Texas, is doing with its decision to let select teachers carry concealed handguns at school, which it claims will deter a Columbine-style school shooting.

A reason to believe in pop-punk

By Cory Barker · Wednesday, Sept. 3,2008 6:52 p.m.

Instead of perusing the completely charted waters of heavy production, Valencia have concocted 11 tracks oozing with raw emotion. Believe is jam-packed with soaring hooks and thumping guitar work without being overly poppy.
