War stories

By Alyson Brodsy and Mark Weinberg · Wednesday, April 5,2006 1:02 a.m.

I attended the annual reunion of the 73rd Bomb Wing in Memphis, Tenn. last weekend. The 73rd flew B-29s from Saipan to bomb Japan during World War II. I saw pictures and heard stories from the aging men of the "Greatest Generation." Many of their stories made me think about the discussion of the Iraq War and how it will be described in 60 years.

Stuck in the middle with IU

By Alyson Brodsy · Wednesday, April 5,2006 12:59 a.m.

Recently members of the IUPUI staff and faculty have voiced concerns regarding, what they perceive to be, lack of attention from IU President Adam Herbert. Some feel the Bloomington campus receives far too much attention and far too many resources from University administrators, which is a claim that is not entirely unfounded. It is true that the Bloomington campus does receive a disproportionate amount of attention relative to other campuses, but it does so for good reasons.

IU can provide grad students better benefits now or later. It's in the University's best interests to do it now.

By Alyson Brodsy and Brian J. McFillen · Wednesday, April 5,2006 12:58 a.m.

It's not often that I make common cause with the Graduate Employees Organization. Don't get me wrong, there are folks in the GEO who I know and I quite like -- it's just that our ideological differences tend to lead us to disagree on things. However, regarding the University's short-changing of graduate student health and dental insurance, we find ourselves on the same page. Furthermore, recent statements made by officials of the Graduate and Professional Students Organization -- grad students' official voice with the administration -- indicate that the GPSO is on this very page as well.

PARIS -- Demonstrators opposed to a new jobs law swarmed parts of downtown Paris Tuesday, throwing stones, tearing down street signs and ripping up park benches. Riot police, firing tear gas canisters and making several charges, carried away protesters in handcuffs.

Organizers said 3 million people marched.
