Dear Bush: Bail me out

By Mitchell Blatt · Thursday, Sept. 18,2008 10:57 p.m.

Sorry if I appear ignorant about economics, but I just don’t understand how a government operating at a deficit of more than $400 billion can purchase a financial firm that lost more than $26 billion this year for $85 billion. I guess that seemed like a good investment in our government’s eyes. I mean, the firm they purchased, A.I.G., is not losing anywhere near as much as the government.

Improving campus security solid choice

Thursday, Sept. 18,2008 10:52 p.m.

Campus safety might be on students’ minds lately. Besides recent national tragedies such as the Virginia Tech and the Northern Illinois University shootings, IU students recently experienced a test of the IU-Notify system and a reported incident with an unidentified slasher. Campuses have been under a lot of pressure to improve safety, but recently Congress decided that measures need to be taken to ensure that every school at least makes minimum preparations. The U.S. House of Representatives has passed a measure to require college institutions to have emergency-response plans for their campuses.

True Life: I’m Pregnant!

By Shane Springer · Thursday, Sept. 18,2008 10:51 p.m.

Am I the only one who finds this absurd? At a time when we are seeking to elect a new leader to run our country the foremost and pressing issue seems to be which trimester Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s 17-year-old daughter is in. On one side of the ring stands the Democrats, bruised and bloodied, who are using the matter to somehow raise concerns that the governor of Alaska is hypocritical in her stance that the preaching of sexual abstinence should be the only way to educate young adults. Maybe safe-sex education is the answer?

God-given rights

Thursday, Sept. 18,2008 10:48 p.m.

In response to Sarah Palin’s hope that people in every country can enjoy “God-given” rights including “life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness” Nick Wallace remarks, “Can we really elect a leader who defines what is right for her country only by the voices she hears in her head?” (IDS, Sept. 17). A little history lesson might be in order.

Ready for anything

By Julia Boriss · Thursday, Sept. 18,2008 10:42 p.m.

IU’s new emergency alert system is filling up my voice mail and inbox like a needy ex-lover. On Sept. 5, the IU-Notify system was tested in the form of loud sirens, cryptic e-mails and a voice mail message left on my phone and yours from IU Police Department Capt. Jerry Minger. (I don’t remember giving this dude my number or permission to call me during class, so that kind of feels threatening in its own way).
