IU beats Maryland late for 5th place finish

·

The No. 9 Hoosiers trailed No. 17 Maryland by two goals entering the final quarter of the Triton Invitational on Sunday. Due to a five-goal performance in the final stanza, however, the Hoosiers defeated the Terrapins and claimed fifth place in the tournament in La Jolla, Calif., with an 11-10 victory.

Support the (male) troops

·

These are women who voluntarily protect our country — Santorum included — and should keep that right to defend. We have no right to disregard their wishes and desires to fight on our behalf.

Pushing the pipeline

·

Republicans, with some Democratic support, are trying to force construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline despite a denial by the U.S. State Department of the permit allowing the project to cross the border from Canada before making its way to Texas.

Voting while bullets fly

·

The U.N. estimates more than 5,000 people have been killed in the protests against the Syrian government — yet Russia and China have blocked a resolution against Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad.

No Child Left Behind left behind

So, while we’re not very confident in our man Mitch or state superintendent Tony Bennett, who called NCLB a “giant step forward for our nation’s schools,“ we believe state-created standards have more potential to improve education in Indiana.

Vagina Monologues raises awareness for women's issues

·

The Women’s Student Association at IU performed a benefit production of Eve Ensler’s “The Vagina Monologues” on Friday and Saturday. The proceeds went to Middle Way House and the national V-Day Spotlight: Women of Haiti. “The Vagina Monologues” is a play aimed at creating awareness of women’s issues and abuse. Ensler created V-Day, a nonprofit organization associated with the play, and it has raised more than $75 million for women’s anti-violence groups since 1998.
