Law school appoints interim dean for 2002-03

·

Lauren Robel clearly loves this university. Robel, who received her law degree from IU in 1983, was invited back to her alma mater two years later as a faculty member and then later became associate dean of the law school, has now been appointed as interim dean of the School of Law for the 2002-03 academic year.

Thanks for the ride, Hoosiers

Mural won't let us forget past

·

\"Because the destruction of our culture has become accepted as the norm, they have forgotten how it used to be." Standing alone, this quote seems to promote learning from the past and encourage positive change. Actually this statement can be found on www.kukluxklan.org, which supports conservative ideas, implying protection for a white culture.

The stench of politics

·

I love politics. Politics is thrilling, competitive and has a very strong bearing on our own lives (hint, hint: You, too, can vote this May 7 and November 5). But for all of its majesty, politics can also be divisive and underhanded. It's just part of the game. But does it have to be?

Hardee's ad in good spirit

·

Shelter Inc.'s demand for an apology about Hardee's "The Six Dollar Burger. Around $3.95" place mat takes the issue a step too far. The place mat lists 38 suggestions for what you can do with the $2 you will save when purchasing the burger for $3.95. "Make a homeless person really happy" follows "replace your shoelaces" on the list. This ad hardly comes close to many others we see everyday on television and print media that are obviously degrading to various groups of people.
