O’Neill speaks about greenhouse gases

·

For his first time at IU in the last 25 years, Paul O’Neill, former U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, drew in a crowd that barely fit into the School of Public and Environmental Affairs Atrium on Tuesday night for his speech on “Energy and the Environment: Global Solution for National Problems.”

IU wide receivers flourish

·

When IU decided to switch from the traditional spread offense to the pistol – a scheme used to utilize the running backs – sophomore wide receiver Damarlo Belcher was a little bit worried.

Number of international, out-of-state students increase

·

According to statistics from the Office of International Services, the number of international students has steadily grown through the years. Roger Thompson, vice provost for enrollment management, said the enrollment of first year out-of-state students in the Bloomington campus also reached a record high of more than 2,000 students this fall.

IU student retention steadily increases

·

IU has managed to keep the retention rate at a steady increase. This is the opposite of what is happening at many schools because students don't choose colleges that "fit" them, students drop-out because of financial issues and because our culture feels failure has become acceptable.

Blood bank discrimination

Blood centers aren’t showing a latent “homophobia,” or “Europhobia,” or “prostitute-ophobia” by discriminating against these people; they are doing their due diligence to prevent the transmission of diseases – most of them untreatable and/or incurable – known or thought to be spread by blood.

No place like the Map Library

We don’t really need more classrooms, computer terminals, televisions or fast food franchises. We need a place to think.

Money-driven closing

It is no secret that we are living in a money-driven society, but this is also a society that is based on some values that supersede the pursuit of profit. It seems to me that the latter is forgotten by the current IU administration, who is trying to make a buck by canceling some of the most revered and student-friendly locations on campus and turning them into yet another office suite or lecture hall.

Don’t forget

The most historically significant moment since Dec. 7, 1941, received at best negligible and at worst non-existent coverage of the attacks eight years prior. While the article regarding the effects of the attacks on Muslim life in America is perfectly legitimate, the lack of coverage regarding the rest of America is appallingly irresponsible.

Endorsing beer pong?

WE SAY Paranoia about colored cans and ping-pong balls is a waste of time.

Fighting the drinking age

·

In the case of alcohol, like that of any other dangerous mind-altering substance, there are no good solutions. There is no easy way to square the rights of society to be safe from those using alcohol irresponsibly with the right of individuals to make their own decisions – stupid or otherwise. Yet, America’s decision to maintain a high drinking age and promote abstinence as the only legal option while those under 21 continue to drink anyway is hardly the worst solution.

Spineless Democrats

·

Michele Bachmann believes in reviving McCarthyism and “Patriotism Panels,” talk radio is filled with nothing but the paranoid rantings of conservative white men, and a former vice president can tell a U.S. congressman so eloquently to “go (expletive) himself.” But to chastise a man for a singular comment such as the “a-bomb” comes off as thin-skinned and massively hypocritical.
