Not a woman’s burden

By Anna Piontek · Sunday, Sept. 16,2007 10:26 p.m.

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.

Undocumented successes

Sunday, Sept. 16,2007 10:22 p.m.

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.

Human after all

By John Barnett and Stefania Marghitu · Sunday, Sept. 16,2007 10:20 p.m.

I spent the first part of my summer studying in Florence, Italy along with 35 other IU students. During my time there, I learned a lot about Italian culture, history and art. I also ended up learning a lot about American culture – specifically, IU culture. Our program was like a microcosm of IU. We even learned directly from IU professors in the comfort of our own pension and around Florence. We consisted of greek members, artsy kids, music majors, a football player and so many more.

Make war with love

By Brian J. McFillen · Sunday, Sept. 16,2007 10:19 p.m.

Do you love your country? Do you love it more than going to class? Last week, an event came to pass that threatened to upend the world order and undermine U.S. competitiveness in a key strategic area – and it’s going to be up to us to take a break from school and set things right.

Gradually green

By Abby Schwimmer and Ab Schwimmer · Sunday, Sept. 16,2007 10:18 p.m.

For this week’s column, I thought I’d preach at you about something, well, environmental, for a change. Recently, I read an article about how Quarter Pounders and top sirloin are destroying the environment, and I thought that would be perfect to discuss. It turns out that annually, massive animal feeding operations release into the atmosphere more than 100 million tons of methane, a greenhouse gas that’s about 20 times more powerful than carbon dioxide. As far as my column’s call to action, it would be fairly straightforward: go vegetarian.

Last Friday night, couples, families and friends laid out their blankets on the grass and set up folding chairs as they prepared for a night of Shakespeare when the Monroe County Civic Theater debuted a contemporary version of “Romeo and Juliet,” at Third Street Park.

ONLINE ONLY: September: Hollywood’s armpit?

By Cory Barker · Friday, Sept. 14,2007 12:41 p.m.

Ah, September. In many ways its arrival brings joy to people each year for three reasons: cooler weather, football and the return of quality television. While that’s great for those people, September typically isn’t kind to moviegoers. For those who follow films and release dates closely, it’s common knowledge that September is nothing more than a wasteland.

Lending a helping hand

By Kristi Oloffson · Friday, Sept. 14,2007 1:08 a.m.

In the back of a green van on the east side of Bloomington, Jonathan Hossler squeals and laughs with excitement, rocking back and forth in his seat. As the van stops at its first home on the route, the tall and skinny autistic 21-year-old is coaxed out of the van with a cloth bag – the words “Hand ‘n Hand” printed across it. His two supervisors remind him it’s time to do his work and collect the awaiting food on the doorstep – food that provides 5 percent of Bloomington’s Community Kitchen’s total donations.

Students flock to tailgate, but not to experience the game

By Ben Phelps · Friday, Sept. 14,2007 1 a.m.

Take the most raucous concert you’ve ever seen. Then double the people, triple the alcohol and add trucks, grills and cornhole amidst a sea of red and white T-shirts, some of them appropriately reading, “We don’t have football games, we have tailgates.”
