By Julianne Clifton · Wednesday, Sept. 16,2009 12:08 a.m.

CUSCO, Peru - Stale smoke chokes me as I lay down the bricks for a stove intended to change the life of a Peruvian family.

According to statistics from the Office of International Services, the number of international students has steadily grown through the years.

IU student retention steadily increases

By Jennifer Basak · Tuesday, Sept. 15,2009 11:21 p.m.

IU has managed to keep the retention rate at a steady increase. This is the opposite of what is happening at many schools because students don't choose colleges that "fit" them, students drop-out because of financial issues and because our culture feels failure has become acceptable.

Blood bank discrimination

Tuesday, Sept. 15,2009 10:26 p.m.

Blood centers aren’t showing a latent “homophobia,” or “Europhobia,” or “prostitute-ophobia” by discriminating against these people; they are doing their due diligence to prevent the transmission of diseases – most of them untreatable and/or incurable – known or thought to be spread by blood.

No place like the Map Library

Money-driven closing

Tuesday, Sept. 15,2009 10:23 p.m.

It is no secret that we are living in a money-driven society, but this is also a society that is based on some values that supersede the pursuit of profit. It seems to me that the latter is forgotten by the current IU administration, who is trying to make a buck by canceling some of the most revered and student-friendly locations on campus and turning them into yet another office suite or lecture hall.

Don’t forget

Tuesday, Sept. 15,2009 10:22 p.m.

The most historically significant moment since Dec. 7, 1941, received at best negligible and at worst non-existent coverage of the attacks eight years prior. While the article regarding the effects of the attacks on Muslim life in America is perfectly legitimate, the lack of coverage regarding the rest of America is appallingly irresponsible.

Come dwell with me

Fighting the drinking age

By Nathan Dixon · Tuesday, Sept. 15,2009 10:14 p.m.

In the case of alcohol, like that of any other dangerous mind-altering substance, there are no good solutions. There is no easy way to square the rights of society to be safe from those using alcohol irresponsibly with the right of individuals to make their own decisions – stupid or otherwise. Yet, America’s decision to maintain a high drinking age and promote abstinence as the only legal option while those under 21 continue to drink anyway is hardly the worst solution.

Spineless Democrats

By Matt Straw · Tuesday, Sept. 15,2009 10:12 p.m.

Michele Bachmann believes in reviving McCarthyism and “Patriotism Panels,” talk radio is filled with nothing but the paranoid rantings of conservative white men, and a former vice president can tell a U.S. congressman so eloquently to “go (expletive) himself.” But to chastise a man for a singular comment such as the “a-bomb” comes off as thin-skinned and massively hypocritical.
