Minority opinion

Sunday, Nov. 4,2007 8:02 p.m.

Jerry Baldwin, ex-head coach of the University of Louisiana-Lafayette and the first black head coach at any Louisiana state university, won a $2 million lawsuit against his former employer on a claim that he was fired for his race. And while the school insists he was removed from his post for a laughable record – he lost 80 percent of his games – sizable evidence points to the contrary. According to Baldwin, his predecessor and successor – both white – were given new equipment for the team, as well as more resources at their disposal to market the team to the community.

Defeat-o-crats

By Peter Chen · Sunday, Nov. 4,2007 7:58 p.m.

We do not torture.” So says George W. Bush. Without telling us what constitutes torture or telling us what methods our interrogators use, President Bush wants us to simply take him at his word. And, like the spineless pushovers they are, the Democratic Congress gladly acquiesced, with many voting for the Military Commissions Act in October 2006 that essentially ended any judicial review for terror detainees.

Smoking ban boldness

By Jacob Stewart and Jake Stewart · Sunday, Nov. 4,2007 7:57 p.m.

Since the announcement of former IU President Adam Herbert’s plan to ban smoking on all IU campuses, the IU community has been at odds, taking up sides drawn along a smoke-blurred line. On Thursday Provost Karen Hanson sent by e-mail the policy that students, faculty and staff will be required to follow as of January 2008. The policy itself will be beneficial if it rids the IU campus of smoking – preventing the harm caused by second-hand smoke, without hampering the rights of individuals.

Secular seasons

By Abby Schwimmer and Ab Schwimmer · Sunday, Nov. 4,2007 7:55 p.m.

For me, the day after Halloween is one of the happiest of the year. While the rest of the world lies in bed, moaning about how Almond Joys should not be accompanied by blueberry vodka, I get up early and greet the world with an enthusiasm unmatched on any other day of the year. You see, after the pumpkins start to rot and the cotton spider webs blow away, icicle lights and candy canes begin to manifest themselves. Ladies and gentlemen, we have officially entered “the holiday season.”

Secrets to the cheap life

By Anna Piontek · Sunday, Nov. 4,2007 7:50 p.m.

Do you like food? Are you broke? If so, this column is for you. Last week I wrote about America’s new food culture. I argued that the good life, as it is marketed, remains elusive to middle-class Americans because fancy organic and international foods are more expensive than regular comfort food.
