Goldwater standard?

By Alyson Brodsy and Waddell Hamer · Tuesday, Nov. 7,2006 10:39 p.m.

No matter how Tuesday's election went, it's safe to say that conservative voters were influenced by the "religious right," and liberal voters were driven to represent everything that conservatives are not. But what's ironic and tragic about the religious right's position in Republican politics is that it's so far away from the views of the founding father of modern conservatism, Barry Goldwater.

Academic pursuits

By Alyson Brodsy and Brian J. McFillen · Tuesday, Nov. 7,2006 10:38 p.m.

Last Saturday, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reported that the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system has adopted a new policy that not only bans relationships between students and professors, but also requires schools to "ask faculty and staff in positions of power to disclose any existing romances or other 'consensual relationships' that might violate the policy." A professor who doesn't tell the school about such a relationship could face "disciplinary action."

Sweet, sweet candy

By Alyson Brodsy and Joanna Borns · Tuesday, Nov. 7,2006 10:37 p.m.

Both board games are a staple in the childhood of Americans, but Candy Land is clearly superior. The rift between those who favor Candy Land and those who favor Chutes and Ladders dates back centuries. The conflict between the two is the little known spark behind many of history's most dramatic events such as the U.S. Civil War, World War II and the explosion at Pompeii. When archeologists found the perfectly preserved form of Gloppy the Molasses Monster in the ashes, they knew the truth.

Permitting failure

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Nov. 7,2006 10:36 p.m.

It's no secret: IU has a perennial parking problem. There have been many ideas over the years to solve this problem. The latest suggestion by the President's Parking Commission is to raise the price of A permits and prohibit graduate students from buying A and C permits. The theory goes that if A permits are more expensive, there will be less demand for them; additionally, if graduate students cannot buy A and C permits, there will be more available to faculty members. Presumably those graduate students who must drive will have to buy E permits, park at the stadium and ride the bus.

QUESTION: One night I was with a girl and I ejaculated quickly after receiving a hand-job.

By Rorye O'Connor and Rorye O'Conner · Tuesday, Nov. 7,2006 10:31 p.m.

From cobalt blue Chinese willow ware plates to a delicate hand-painted IU teacup and saucer, the latest array of shiny things to stop students in their tracks is on display in the Fine Arts Library foyer. Senior Andrea Truitt concocted the idea for the display, titled "Prints, Patterns and Porcelain: a selection of ceramics from the Wylie House collections," as well as the corresponding in-house exhibit at the Wylie House Museum, "A Glimpse of Wylie Household Taste: Come to the Table!" She did all the research and put both exhibits together.

Robert Randolph plays at IU

By Paige Ingram · Tuesday, Nov. 7,2006 10:25 p.m.

When Robert Randolph and The Family Band take the stage tonight at the IU Auditorium, audiences should get ready to shake their hips, said band member Marcus Randolph. The last few years have sent the group through funk, R&B and more, landing Robert Randolph on Rolling Stone's list of The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time. Their latest album, "Colorblind," is geared more toward audience participation, comprised of 11 distinct songs, rather than the instrumental songs they've gravitated towards in previous albums.

UPDATE: Lugar cruises on way to winning 6th term

By Deanna Martin · Tuesday, Nov. 7,2006 9:12 p.m.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Voting sites had not even closed in parts of Indiana before U.S. Sen. Richard Lugar took the stage Tuesday evening at the state Republican headquarters to wrap up the easiest of his string of easy re-election campaigns. Lugar, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, cruised to victory for a sixth straight term without a Democratic foe. The crowd at the GOP headquarters welcomed the senator with applause and held up Lugar 2006 signs. Gov. Mitch Daniels, a former Lugar aide and campaign manager, wore a Lugar campaign button from 1976, when he was first elected to the Senate after a 1974 loss to Democrat Birch Bayh. Lugar thanked voters for the opportunity to represent them. "This is a celebration tonight for Indiana," Lugar said.

Orange County Ca$hes in

By Sandra Arao Ameny · Tuesday, Nov. 7,2006 8:50 p.m.

Before the new French Lick Springs Resort Casino opened Friday, residents of Orange County and the town of French Lick, Ind., were already anticipating ways to spend the tax revenue the new casino will bring, while others were voicing their concerns about the changes taking place in the small city as a result of the casino's opening. The casino, located about an hour south of Bloomington, is the 11th in the state and the last one allowed under state law. It was jointly developed and constructed beginning in August 2005 by Bloomington-based Cook Group and the Indianapolis-based real estate company Lauth Group, according to a Cook Group press release on the company's Web site. The $382 million project included the casino, renovations of the town's two historic hotels and the construction of golf courses and retail shops.
