Heat is on Rove

By Alyson Brodsy and Daniel Hiester · Wednesday, July 20,2005 9 p.m.

When Bush denied that anyone in his administration leaked the name of a covert CIA operative to the media, it turned out not to be true. Now he has to save face, so he's enlisting the help of his friends to try to cover it up. Sounds like a soap opera to me. In fact, I think it could be a very successful soap opera. It should be called "Desperate Politicians."

Is the world so desperate?

By Alyson Brodsy and Mark Taracuk · Wednesday, July 20,2005 8:59 p.m.

I have a secret passion for the show "Desperate Housewives." Yes, it looks raunchy and silly and slutty. I thought the same thing, but I started watching and I got hooked. You may think it is a "chick show" or just a sleazy soap opera but I will vouch that it is probably one of the best television shows out there.

By C. Warner Sills and Rob O'Connor · Wednesday, July 20,2005 5:04 p.m.

"Million Dollar Baby" won the 2005 Oscar for Best Picture and it won the old fashion way: by actually being the best picture the year that it was released. Wow, how refreshing.

Right ingredients, wrong flavor

By Adam Aasen · Wednesday, July 20,2005 4:54 p.m.

In Tim Burton's latest hyped-up summer blockbuster, he takes the daunting task of trying to follow in the footsteps of the nearly perfect 1971 film classic "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory."

Roberts grew up in Indiana; nominee awaits Senate

By Alyson Brodsy and Deb Riechmann · Wednesday, July 20,2005 11:44 a.m.

WASHINGTON -- President Bush named federal appeals court judge John G. Roberts Jr. to a seat on the Supreme Court Tuesday, delighting Republicans while unsettling some Democrats with the selection of a young jurist with impeccable conservative credentials. "John Roberts has devoted his entire professional life to the cause of justice," Bush said in a prime-time announcement at the White House, "and is widely admired for his intellect his sound judgment and his personal decency."

Students face larger class sizes

By Michael Zennie · Monday, July 18,2005 5:55 p.m.

Students in the College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Education are likely to see bigger class sizes, more graduate student-taught classes and smaller classes nixed altogether, said Neil Theobald, the vice chancellor for budgetary administration and planning. The two schools cut 35 faculty positions to make up for a more than $11 million budget shortfall at the Bloomington campus.

Scared to death

By Sam Nissen · Monday, July 18,2005 12:23 a.m.

Danny Jackson entered Phi Kappa Tau on move-in day. He was the first pledge to move in -- no one else was in the house, unbeknownst to him. So, when he heard the sound of footsteps drudging down the stairs, he wasn't surprised. Jackson approached the source of the sound, calling out "Who's there, who's there?," looking for his fellow house mates. He rounded the corner toward the stairs and the sound stopped. He saw nothing and froze. The touch of a hand rested on Jackson's shoulder sending him into a seizure. His brothers found him soon after and helped him to the Health Center.
