When the numbers lie

By IDS · Tuesday, Nov. 3,2009 11:07 p.m.

There will be a few examples of jobs being directly created by stimulus money, but the nature of such a plan aims to create a domino effect harder to follow than a finite math permutation problem.

Why I hate the Toyota Prius

By Chris Nelson · Tuesday, Nov. 3,2009 11:04 p.m.

Why do I have such disdain for the Prius? Aside from its gaudy styling, the Prius is a fake. This “green” car is far from green. It might have phenomenal gas mileage, but that’s not the whole picture. There are many factors that go into a car’s potential damage to the environment, starting from the production line.

A commitment to public art on campus needs to be continued in the new student housing being built to replace Ashton Residence Center.

Obama’s good start

By Nathan Dixon · Tuesday, Nov. 3,2009 10:55 p.m.

Obama made some big promises, and the man knew how to make a promise. If the students who packed into Assembly Hall two years ago to see Obama before the Indiana presidential primary were really as excited as they looked, I can only imagine how down some liberals are feeling now.

Bringing sustainability to the IMU

By Guest writer · Tuesday, Nov. 3,2009 10:51 p.m.

Before 2009, there was only one method of waste disposal in the Indiana Memorial Union kitchens: the dumpster. Now, because of initiatives set in place by Nora Kayden, a sustainability intern at IU, hundreds of pounds of waste become useful resources instead of trash.

No more coal

By Guest writer · Tuesday, Nov. 3,2009 10:47 p.m.

America is at a crossroads as we face a cooling economy and a warming world. The solution is investing in new, clean energy for America, which can strengthen our economy, put people back to work, reduce our dependence on dirty oil and coal and tackle climate change.

Letters on behalf of the Sierra Club Coal-Free IU

By Guest writer · Tuesday, Nov. 3,2009 10:42 p.m.

Although I like to think of IU and its students as environmentally friendly and forward-thinking, we still depend on a large coal-burning power plant for our energy. Even more surprising is the fact that many students have no idea that there is a coal power plant on campus.

By Caitlin Peterkin · Tuesday, Nov. 3,2009 10:32 p.m.

I’ve always considered my humor to be multifaceted. There’s the more mature side that appreciates witty dialogue, pop culture references and political jokes as well as the college student who loves sarcasm, YouTube videos and collegehumor.com.

Folk music: More popular than you think

By Erica Rogers · Tuesday, Nov. 3,2009 10:31 p.m.

Since the legendary Bob Dylan visited the IU Auditorium on Monday, his music has softly sung in my ears. However, when people hear “folk music,” many do not understand the great impact that this unique genre has had on popular culture.
