‘Curses’ poor excuse for political commentary

Wednesday, Sept. 26,2007 10:23 p.m.

The editorial by Peter Chen (“Curses!” Sept. 21), though initially seeming to have good intent, quickly lowered itself into the very cesspool of profanity it was seeking to condemn.

Comic shows typical whiny student behavior

By Rory Starks · Wednesday, Sept. 26,2007 10:20 p.m.

I aim to dismantle the editorial comic shown in the IDS on Sept. 21 piece by piece. First of all, I am certain the same people who complain about campus construction would be first to bitch and moan about the exact opposite – an unmaintained environment with inadequate roads and other areas of disrepair.

Why are Americans still homeless?

Wednesday, Sept. 26,2007 10:19 p.m.

In the richest country in the world on any given night, anywhere between 744,313 and 3.8 million people are without a roof over their heads. This is not difficult to understand when one considers the fact that 36.4 million Americans live in poverty – a statistic that becomes especially alarming when one takes into account the unrealistic stringency of the requirements people must meet to fit into that category.

IU’s new standards hurt poor Indiana students

Wednesday, Sept. 26,2007 10:16 p.m.

I am writing this letter in response to a letter from Dr. Roger J. Thompson (“Rise of admission standards good for IU,” Sept. 13). As an educator in disadvantaged communities, the older brother of a student recently denied admission to IU and an alumnus of Indiana University Bloomington, I can’t help but disagree with Dr. Thompson.

Affordable housing needed to fight poverty

Wednesday, Sept. 26,2007 10:15 p.m.

With over 36 million Americans living in poverty, and over a million homeless on any given night, hunger and homelessness are huge issues across the nation. The driving force behind this severe problem is the lack of affordable housing that plagues the U. S. It is impossible for a family earning minimum wage to find an affordable apartment in most cities, which propagates chronic homelessness.

Prince of Persia

By Tristan Reitz · Wednesday, Sept. 26,2007 10:13 p.m.

If (Hitler) were willing to engage in a debate and a discussion, to be challenged by Columbia students and faculty, we would certainly run it.” – John Coatsworth, dean of Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs. While Hitler may not be available for any speaking engagements, the university did decide to allow Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to speak, angering many who say it legitimizes or appeases the Islamic republic’s president.
