Oscars should be neutral

By Alyson Brodsy and Christina Galoozis · Wednesday, Jan. 25,2006 12:15 a.m.

I love the Oscars. As a kid, it was the only other school night besides Election Day I was allowed to stay up past bed time. Women in beautiful gowns and gorgeous men in tuxes parade down a red carpet, and little gold men are held by those who make us laugh and cry for $9-a-pop, 20 times a year.

IU columnists duke it out on IU's priorities

By Alyson Brodsy and Tony Sams · Wednesday, Jan. 25,2006 12:09 a.m.

With more colleges emphasizing life sciences, we're told everything about campus dynamics will strengthen. Here at IU, the University could gain bargaining power for state and federal funding and open itself up to more grants from the private sector. We could rise in rankings and become a more prestigious hotbed of intellectual activity and research that could attract and produce the brightest minds of a new generation, all equipped with unicorns and the sword of destiny.

IU columnists duke it out on IU's priorities

By Alyson Brodsy and Peter Chen · Wednesday, Jan. 25,2006 12:08 a.m.

Universities always evolve, and ours is no exception. Public universities, in particular, face the daunting challenge of losing the state funding that made them public in the first place. With the budget difficulties facing IU, it makes sense to re-evaluate our priorities, and President Adam Herbert has made it clear that the life sciences are now the "highest University priority."

By Alyson Brodsy · Wednesday, Jan. 25,2006 12 a.m.

BAGHDAD, Iraq -- The resumption of Saddam Hussein's trial was abruptly canceled Tuesday and postponed for five days in the latest turmoil to plague the court, as some on the panel hearing the case resisted a last-minute shake-up that brought in a new chief judge. Saddam's lawyers said the confusion showed the court could not give the ousted Iraqi leader a fair trial and was under too much political pressure.

Admissions materials not an automatic entry to IU

By Andrea Opperman · Tuesday, Jan. 24,2006 11:50 p.m.

From the most outrageous stories to certificates of achievement, the admissions office has seen it all. A wave of attachments to applications has hit the office such as videotapes and pictures of the candidate in IU apparel. Although it's a rare occurrence for the admissions office to receive such attachments, it is stressed that submitting these extras in no way affects whether the applicant is admitted to IU.
