Christianity a religion of love

Wednesday, May 30,2007 7:49 p.m.

I would like to help Mr. Salter understand Christianity and other religions (“Jesus Christ just one of many paths,” May 24). One must create amazing rationalizations to conclude that the Bible is fictional. Please state your case. The most common understanding of a “cult” is a religion regarded as unorthodox or spurious, and “devotion” regarded as a literary or intellectual fad.

So it goes

Pretty tough

By Brian McFillen · Wednesday, May 30,2007 7:43 p.m.

Television opened my eyes this week. You and I – we all have things that go wrong in our lives. We all have our disappointments and problems. And we’re used to fixating on them and feeling sorry for ourselves.

Feminists For...What?

By Anna Piontek · Wednesday, May 30,2007 7:42 p.m.

Though feminism was once a titan movement of coherent objectives, it is now descending into the den of ambiguity. The trouble is that feminist groups, right-wing haters and everyone in between still believes the term “feminism” means something. A largely unrelated mass of issues has settled under the domain of “feminism” and is weakening the movement.

College rankings unfair

Wednesday, May 30,2007 7:37 p.m.

In retrospect, you know you made the right choice. But when you were applying for college, IU might not have been your first pick. Looking back, it seems hard to believe you almost gave up the unique combination of award-winning academic programs, the beauty of the solarium at dawn and the diversity of Bloomington culture. But don’t worry about it. No one holds it against you.

IU celebrates spatial technology

By Andrea Knapp · Tuesday, May 29,2007 4:44 p.m.

During Geographic Information Systems Day 2006, everyone at IU could learn about GIS and its uses. According to a GIS pamphlet, the systems combine software, computers, geographic data and people to perform spatial analyses of patterns on Earth's surface. The multibillion-dollar industry converts the rows and columns in databases and spreadsheets to maps displaying locations, routes and features, according to the University Information Technology Services Web site. The Web site also said IU staff provides support for GIS technologies on all of the IU campuses and helps with state efforts in structuring a map for Indiana.
