McCain stops in Indy

·

INDIANAPOLIS – John McCain, the Republican nominee for president, made his case to Hoosier voters in a campaign visit Friday in Indianapolis. More than 100 of his supporters and members of the public turned out at the Emmis Communication building for the town hall-style meeting led by the Arizona senator.

Make your voice heard

I just wanted someone to put an article up about our Director of Athletics Rick Greenspan. Everything is focused on Coach Sampson and his wrongdoing, but as I observed Greenspan almost the entire game on Saturday, he just sat there. He never

'Shortchanged' comes up short

Alexandra Chtchedrina’s Feb. 15 article, “Shortchanged,” raises interesting issues related to the drop in the dollar’s value in Europe. However, her assumption that Overseas Study has not changed the scholarship amounts since 2005 is incorrect. The 2005

Cheating? Fire him

Kelvin Sampson is a cheater and a liar. He has brought more embarrassment and controversy to our school and our cherished basketball program than even

Are you a 'real' fan?

So you call yourself a Hoosier fan? How many national championships have we won? What years did we win those championships? What is

Don't let fear cloud reason

In her Feb. 13 column, “Guns Blazin’,” Indira Dammu vehemently argues for stricter gun control laws, but

Dammu is not shooting it straight

This is in response to Indira Dammu’s Feb. 13 column entitled “Guns blazin’.” First, the idea that “Indiana has no restrictions on the sale of assault weapons” is a false statement. Indiana

End the debate: fire Sampson

·

I don’t even understand what the debate is about. Maybe it’s a product of having been alive to see the Hoosiers hoist a national championship

Experience ruined

For as long as I can remember I’ve wanted to go to IU. Since I was four years old my best memories are sitting on the couch with my family watching IU basketball games. When

Brazen "Blazin"

Indira Dammu’s Feb. 13 “Guns blazin’” article is filled with many inaccuracies and misunderstandings. Starting with the beginning of the article, the Virginia Tech tragedy did not

Goodbye and good riddance, Sampson

Friday had to be one of the worst days in the history of IU athletics. Or the best, depending on how you look at it. If you’ve read our last two staff editorials about the Sampson fiasco, it should be no surprise that we think the decision was definitely the correct one: Kelvin Sampson lost his job as IU basketball coach.

Digital dominance

·

Last week, inventor Ray Kurzweil predicted that artificial intelligence would catch up to human levels by 2029. Granted, what Kurzweil told the BBC was that we’d see a merger of humans and machines via nanotechnology rather than, say, the rise of an intelligent race of machines – but, come on.

Lying under the Bush

·

This February, President Bush gave his first interview to the BBC in almost seven years when he sat down to discuss Africa and his legacy. Watching the president’s grayed hair and hearing his worn voice, I almost began to feel sympathy for a man so trampled by his own presidency.

Dirty money

·

It’s been more than a year since major presidential hopefuls such as Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and others announced their candidacies for the White House. Each candidate stood in front of all their supporters, many just regular, everyday Americans, and gave grand speeches explaining why they felt the country “needs them at this moment in history.”

Capitalist propaganda

·

Of all the American myths, perhaps the one most deeply embedded in our American psyche is the notion of capitalism’s infallible virtues. Stay with me, here. Don’t worry, I’m not going to dismiss capitalism in a 500-word column.
