Jordan River Forum

I wasn't surprised to read a column both critical and ignorant of the basic tenets of Intelligent Design. Mr. Schmidt's column ("The New Creationism," Aug 24.) was a careful and well-rehearsed repetition of everything his professors have taught him to believe. His mockery of those with commitments both to scientific inquiry and to supernatural belief only demonstrates his lack of respect for either. I'm afraid (Intelligent Design) is not simply a few religious zealots astonished by an eyeball, and the columnist would be well-served by a thorough reading of Behe, Dembski and others.

Time to face reality

By Alyson Brodsy and Patrick Schoettmer · Thursday, Sept. 1,2005 12:55 a.m.

When I first started middle school, my dad gave me a piece of advice. He told me to never pick fights and peacefully settle problems others might have with me. If, however, a fight could not be avoided, he said that my only goal should be to put down my opponent so brutally that he would neither want nor be able to get up and continue the disagreement.

Arousing awareness

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, Sept. 1,2005 12:52 a.m.

The incorporation of urinal screens in IU men's rooms is the most recent publicity campaign to combat sexual harassment. It is a silly but effective way to raise awareness of a common and tragic problem occurring not only at IU-Bloomington, but on campuses nationwide. The campaign is part of a growing national effort to shift blame for rape from the victim to the potential perpetrator.
