By Kristi Lafree · Wednesday, Dec. 5,2007 11:46 p.m.

With the cold chill in the air, the changes that accompany the coming of winter often go unnoticed, as people duck their heads and hurry to the warm comforts of the inside.

New rendition of ‘A Christmas Carol’ a non-traditional treat

By Erich Reinhard · Wednesday, Dec. 5,2007 11:44 p.m.

It would be unfair and undeserved to call the Monroe County Civic Theater’s boisterous, one-act adaptation of “A Christmas Carol” amateurish. It’s unfair because of the scant attention, publicity and money that is usually the plight of community theater, and undeserved because these actors are as committed to their artistic progress and achievement as those strutting the halls of IU’s Lee Norvelle Theater & Drama Center.

IU aiding genocide?

Wednesday, Dec. 5,2007 11:37 p.m.

I have to wonder if President McRobbie and the board of trustees at IU are so hesitant to support a Sudanese divestment bill recently passed by the Bloomington Faculty Council because of new-found friendships with various Chinese universities.

UNpacking the backing

By Tristan Reitz · Wednesday, Dec. 5,2007 11:33 p.m.

I’ve always avoided writing about the United Nations, as writing about the complicated inner-workings of this mammoth organization usually puts readers to sleep faster than Ambien and red wine.

Not amused by cartoon

Wednesday, Dec. 5,2007 11:32 p.m.

One of the freedoms of being an American is the freedom of speech, which I am in full support of. However, being a student at IU, the former President of the Briscoe Residence Hall and current President of the Residence Hall Association, I was stunned by the cartoon featured in the Opinion section of the Indiana Daily Student paper (published Dec. 3).

Demand universal healthcare

Wednesday, Dec. 5,2007 11:31 p.m.

I want those who are against universal healthcare to consider these points. NAFTA and globalization has led to millions of jobs being outsourced and has hurt many industries – why not the insurance and pharmaceutical companies?

Conservatism doesn’t work

Wednesday, Dec. 5,2007 11:30 p.m.

Dear Chase Cooper, Perhaps you have been so busy over the last seven years that you haven’t had time to read, watch or hear the news lately, but your brand of conservatism has been all but given free reign under your President George W. Bush, despite your weak attempt to label him a liberal a couple of weeks ago – a mostly compliant Congress and an increasingly conservative judiciary. It seems you would rather wax

IU Football not on local channels

Wednesday, Dec. 5,2007 11:28 p.m.

Hearsay: the torture debate

Wednesday, Dec. 5,2007 11:27 p.m.

You quote APA President Sharon Brehm to the effect that if the American Psychological Association catches any member in violation of its position on torture, the association will kick that member out, as a result of which the former member “ . . . may not be able to make a living anymore. It is that basic.”
