By Josh Bagriansky · Thursday, Oct. 25,2007 11:39 p.m.

Business is about to pick up for the IU swimming teams. Tonight’s trip to Evanston, Ill., to face off with a strong Northwestern squad should go a long way in setting the tone for the rest of the season.

Predicting the score, Dolly to the Dalai

By Matt Dollinger · Thursday, Oct. 25,2007 11:38 p.m.

So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet. Realizing that the Dalai Lama was in fact in Bloomington this week, I flew back across the Pacific and made my way over to the Tibetan Mongolian Buddhist Cultural Center. I get in as a columnist, freelancing for a small paper back in the Himalayas. A columnist, you know, a writer, an author, a scribe.

The Bush administration imposed sweeping new sanctions against Iran Thursday – the harshest in nearly three decades – cutting off key Iranian military and banking institutions from the American financial system for Tehran’s alleged support for terrorism and nuclear weapons ambitions.

Give Sampson’s bonus back to ticket holders

Thursday, Oct. 25,2007 9:16 p.m.

Students have been complaining since last season about the cost of student tickets, when the price per game increased from $11 to $15. This year, the rate was the same, but many had to dig deep to pay for the $248 season package. My idea is simple: Take the money forfeited by Sampson and give it back to the student season ticket holders.

Suspended for sickness

Thursday, Oct. 25,2007 9:05 p.m.

Could it be justifiable for IU to kick a student out of school for disrupting class by having a heart attack? What about punishing a soldier returning from Iraq who has a terrifying flashback during a biology lecture? What about a student suffering the same sort of flashback from a sexual assault? It wouldn’t happen here. There would be outrage. There would be lawsuits. It wouldn’t happen because our administration fundamentally recognizes that to punish a student for an unavoidable medical crisis is outrageously discriminatory. Though the editorial board members have much faith in the evolved nature of IU’s administration, we can’t say the same about Eastern Illinois University. Jill Manges, a student at EIU, discovered just how backward her administration really is when she suffered a panic attack during class in early September. Manges suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder due to sexual abuse she experienced eight years ago. The reports state she felt the attack coming on and tried to leave her French history class but was unable to make it out before she collapsed on the floor screaming and sobbing for 10 to 15 minutes.
