Anarchy 101

·

Between rowdy G-8 protestors in Germany and the Basque separatist group ETA announcing an end to their already tenuous cease-fire in Spain, the hard eye of public scrutiny has been turned once more to the concept of anarchy.

Smuggy suburbs

·

By the year 2050, the world’s population is expected to top 9 billion. “So what’s another few billion folks?” you might ask. Well, that’s quite a lot of people to compete for the finite number of resources the earth has to offer - especially land.

Stepping down

·

Every year, high school students across the nation celebrate their achievement of admission into IU. For many Indiana residents who throughout their childhood heard about our beloved school’s legacy and prestige, they find perhaps no greater thrill than the opportunity to attend college in Bloomington. But residents across the state are having greater difficulty making this dream a reality. As admissions standards begin to rise, Indiana public school systems seem to be lacking in preparatory methods.

San Quentin Hilton

·

If you’ve been conscious the past six years, you probably hate Paris Hilton. In fact, you so despise her and her ornament of a Chihuahua, you were thrilled to see her sentenced to jail time, regardless of the crime.

I 'R' U

The Scarlet Knights of Rutgers University have a lot to be proud of this year, which is a unique feeling for a school that hasn’t won a national championship since 1949 – and for fencing at that. Their women’s basketball team was thrust into the national spotlight for their run to the national championship and for their unshakable poise after shock-jock Don Imus called the squad a bunch of “nappy headed hoes.” Even more impressive was the perennially unremarkable football team, which fought to win their first bowl game since, oh, the beginning of recorded history or so.

Kinsey Institute will miss Dave Adams

To the staff at the IDS: We at The Kinsey Institute wish to express our sorrow at the passing of David Adams. David was such a tremendous asset to the IDS and to the entire community of student media. He gave us tremendous support in our work in communicating about sexual health and sex information to college students, encouraging us to publish Kinsey Confidential in the IDS, and promoting the column to other student newspapers around the country.

Am I not a feminist?

I am afraid that Anna Piontek’s article (Feminists For ... What?, May 31) has only contributed to the confusion regarding feminism. Feminism is not simply, and vaguely, about equality.

The value of specialty plates

In reference to the editorial “In Us We (should) Trust” (April 27): the Bloomington Herald-Times also ran details on the story on April 23 and 24 along with numerous reader comments e-mailed in to that newspaper.

Crime in the classroom

·

So as the students of Crime in the Media shuffle out of their classroom, having just watched Clint Eastwood shoot up half of San Fransisco, the rest of Bloomington can rest easy. Nobody's getting any wise ideas.


Mr. Brooks: B+

·

Rather than recycle the same old serial murder and police pursuit plotline, "Mr. Brooks" puts a new spin on Hollywood killing that will shock and awe.
