Who can we trustee?

This weekend the votes will officially be tallied and the IU alumni will decide that either incumbent Sue Talbot has proven she has the stewardship, good sense and appropriate priorities to oversee the direction of a world-class research institution; or that one of the five candidates vying for her seat on the board of trustees would be better suited to address the challenges facing the University.

Collins students not homogenous nor predictable

In “iBigotry” (June 21), you called the residents of Collins “as homogenous and predictable as the next dorm.” As a former resident I feel obligated to stick up for them. In my three semesters at Collins, not once did I smell puked-up booze in the hallways.

Miller: Best pick for financial responsibility

·

Finances are the most central and important matter to the policies the board of trustees deals with, and for this reason the elected trustee needs to have a firm grasp on the University’s economics. For this reason, I endorse candidate Steve Miller.

Woodhouse: Trustee material

·

Excellence may have a price, but trustee-hopeful Allen Woodhouse doesn’t need to be reminded. Placing direct action ahead of recycled bureaucracy, Woodhouse emphasizes the University’s future without slighting its present and is thus the election’s most progressive and creative candidate.

Eskew: Earnest and progressive

·

I’m not a particularly big fan of oligarchic decision-making bodies. I am especially not a fan of these bodies if the majority of members are appointed by Gov. Mitch Daniels. Such is the structure of IU’s board of trustees. But this election is the IU alumni’s annual stab at democracy: we can vote for one new trustee.

Miller: The right choice

·

As unfortunate as it is, IU is a business and the effect is similar to the dilemma of American health care – it’s a public good forced to eke out a profit everywhere possible. Often, education here is considered secondary to roping money from alumni and attracting research grants.

Remembering the glory days

·

Let’s go back to October 26, 2005, when life was good. I was a couple of months into my freshman year, I lived on a co-ed floor, my 19th birthday had been the day before and most importantly, the ground-out to White Sox shortstop Juan Uribe wrapped up a sweep in the 2005 World Series for the Chicago White Sox over the Houston Astros.

D-Day 2007 for the NBA

·

As I bask in the glory of being omniscient vis-a-vis the NBA, I realize two things: no one talks the way I just wrote and the NBA draft is taking place in New York tonight.

Jailhouse ‘knock’

·

Think back a few weeks. You were at Kilroy’s when the police came and you got arrested to be brought in for questioning. A few days later you were convicted for public indecency and you landed yourself in an Indiana state prison.

The 15-year-old Bloomington teenager who was charged with murder Saturday after she stabbed her mother’s boyfriend in the chest will have a hearing this Friday to determine if she will be waived from juvenile court to adult court.

The Price is Wrong

·

June 15, 2007, was a very sad day. It was the airing of Bob Barker’s last time hosting “The Price is Right.” Barker was the host of the show that daily touched the lives of the elderly, the unemployed and sick kids staying home from school.

Tim Street teaches local artists

·

Two cameras, a projector, an umbrella, a photography light and a Tyrannosaurus Rex action figure were spread across the room as 16 people gathered in the John Waldron Arts Center on Tuesday for the Artists After Hours program.

Art Deco Quartet plays at Max’s Place Tuesday

·

The smell of pizza filled the air as The Art Deco Quartet took the stage with special guest and tenor saxophone player Alex Beltran on Tuesday evening at Max’s Place. The band was led by trumpet and flugelhorn player David Miller as they performed a variety of cover compositions and original music.

OneStart v. “2.oh.no”

UITS recently unveiled its plans to implement OneStart Version 2.0, a more streamlined version of the oft-derided Web interface, for this coming fall. But UITS has a history of unveiling unfinished systems.

Service worker confessions

·

Like many Americans, I work in the service industry. And I, like many Americans, am treated like crap at my job by many of those to whom I provide services. It’s about time that stopped.
