ATTENTION ALL WOMEN! In order to avoid rape or assault, abstain from leaving your home at night. If you must go out for, say, a medical emergency, travel in a herd; form a human shield if necessary. Never attend parties and never consume alcoholic beverages, as a state of intoxication renders you more vulnerable to attacks.
No admission to state schools for illegal immigrants. No financial aid for illegal immigrants. These are the new rallying cries of Virginia politician Jerry Kilgore, who wants to pass a law banning illegal immigrants from state universities. Is this an actual policy or just political rabble-rousing? Could this trend continue at IU? The issue has emotional value for many voters and thus garners media attention - not just because it is underhanded to use as scapegoats those who have no political rights to defend themselves, but also because it exploits the nerves of Americans who are struggling to pay tuition.
