Financial aid scarce

By Josh Sanburn · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

According to a report conducted by the Indiana Education Policy Center, the difficulty accessing financial assistance for college is being partially overlooked by the U.S. Department of Education, particularly a widening of the gap between low and high-income students.

Budget might delay science building plans

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

IU's planned $60 million multidisciplinary science building, its top capital priority, could be in jeopardy. The budget the state Senate Finance Committee passed Thursday puts a freeze on new construction projects, including IU's proposed science building. Funding for the building was included in the House's version of the budget. Passed through committee 10-5 across party lines, the Senate budget scales back on spending in a number of areas, including higher education. Senate Finance Chairman Larry Borst, R-Greenwood, said it reflects a slowing national economy and dwindling state revenues.

Letters to the editor

By Alyson Brodsy and Jordan River Forum · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Brehm should take BSU proposals into consideration I am a junior on campus and a member of the Black Student Union. I personally do feel that Chancellor Sharon Brehm should strongly consider the suggestions that Black Student Union has made regarding the murals. I have seen the mural once. Last semester I had a final in the room. When I first walked in I didn't see it, but I like to sit in the front of classes and I

'Harvard Crimson' shows hypocrisy during project

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

When it comes to newspapers, the opinion page in general and the staff editorial specifically stand as the voice of the editors of the newspaper. They must be unbiased in their writing of regular stories, but in columns and editorials a reader really gets the opportunity to see the values and opinions of the writers and editors of the newspaper. Sometimes, though, the actions performed by the staff at a newspaper can speak louder than the words they put on paper.

By Ryan Gunterman · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

He's not much of a golfer. Even though he says you couldn't tell, he does jog every now and then. He went to high school with New York Yankees manager Joe Torre and had Torre's sister as a teacher in the seventh grade, but his interest in baseball has grown only with his son's involvement with the game.

American spirit shines

Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Aboard United Flight 93, even as terrorists threatened their lives, a handful of ordinary Americans took action. In an account pieced together from cell phone calls to family members, several passengers decided they weren't willing to be a missile aimed at thousands of Americans on the ground. They did something -- we'll probably never know exactly what -- to disrupt the hijackers' plans. It seems that at least three men aboard the jet rushed the hijackers in the cockpit. Just minutes after passenger Thomas Burnett Jr. told his wife about the plot, the plane crashed into the rolling green hills of Somerset County, Pa.

Road trip advice from an expert

By Yahya Chami · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

I hate to say this, but Tom Green's movie, "Road Trip," had a point: Road trips are a lot of fun and can be some of the best times you share with your friends while in college. I have done my fair share of road tripping in my years at college, and I fancy myself somewhat of an expert. I will share the knowledge I have gained over the years so more of my fellow students can experience this integral part of the college experience.

Olympics should not be in Beijing

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

The Olympic Games have stood as an event that the world stood still for, a chance for countries to have their athletes compete for their nation and not a team to earn honor and respect for not only themselves, but their homeland. Hosting the Olympics is something of great importance to the country that hosts it, a chance to show off all the shining aspects of the country and for the world to get to know it better. So when it comes time for the International Olympic Committee to name the host cities for the Olympics, it is a big deal. Friday, the IOC named Beijing, China, as the host of the Summer Olympics in 2008. Also up for consideration were Toronto, Canada, Paris, France, Istanbul, Turkey and Osaka, Japan. In the vote by the members, Beijing won by a large margin over Toronto, who was second in the voting. This was despite numerous protests from several different groups around the globe concerning China and their poor human rights record. And this decision for Beijing to host is a mistake.
