Mother Nature would only allow for 415 miles to be completed in the 91st running of the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday. But the fans who stayed at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway through a nearly three-hour rain delay saw a total of 11 caution flags and 23 lead changes.

Tolerance is a Christian value

Wednesday, May 30,2007 7:51 p.m.

In response to the letter “Jesus Christ just one of many paths” written by IU employee Steve Salter, I find such a letter offensive both as a Christian and as someone who makes a strong effort to be a tolerant and accepting person. Mr. Salter is obviously bothered that any Christians and presumably people of other religions believe that their faith is the only right faith.

Falwell representative of evangelicals

Wednesday, May 30,2007 7:50 p.m.

Amanda Lowry, your May 24 column, “Memoirs of Jerry Falwell,” did the man well-deserved justice in my opinion. However your apologetics on behalf of evangelical Christians seems to me to be an attempt to distance them from that clown now that he is gone.

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

By Jennifer Miller · Wednesday, May 30,2007 7:47 p.m.

It’s been more than a month and a half since I received a text message in the Indiana Memorial Union that simply read, “Vonnegut died.” When it happened, I suddenly felt that my frantic scrambling to finish my political theory term paper in the next two hours was a mistake of priorities.

Wednesday, May 30,2007 7:45 p.m.

For years, IU alumni and entrepreneurs David and D.G. Elmore have been searching for a way to give back to their alma mater.

IU fighting shortage of math teachers

By Kailtin Shawgo · Wednesday, May 30,2007 7:43 p.m.

Indiana universities are encouraging students to fill the gap many secondary math and science teachers will leave behind when they retire, said Charles Barman, professor of education and adjunct professor of public health at IU Purdue University-Indianapolis. He cited U.S. Department of Education statistics that point to retirement as a main cause of the lack of math and science teachers.

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.

The rehab buzz

By Amanda Lowry · Wednesday, May 30,2007 7:39 p.m.

No one could have seen it coming. Despite her recent stint in rehab, during which she surely gained a considerable amount of wisdom about the evils of drugs, Lindsay Lohan was arrested last week on DUI charges.

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.
