IU searches questioned after high turnover rate

By Michael Zennie · Wednesday, Jan. 18,2006 12:39 a.m.

Dozens of top IU administrators have retired or taken positions at other schools and dozens more are expected to do the same in the next two years. While all say job turnover is unavoidable at a large university, some faculty and trustees disagree about how candidates should be selected.

Head coach set to begin end

By Josh Sacks · Wednesday, Jan. 18,2006 12:37 a.m.

After missing last season to take a sabbatical, IU hockey coach Rich Holdeman is coaching in his 13th and final season behind the bench for the Hoosiers. As the Hoosiers' all-time winningest coach in IU Hockey history, compiling 243 victories and a .685 winning percentage, Holdeman has served as a fixture for the IU hockey program and has developed it into one of the elite Div. II club teams in the nation.

Coming off a three-week break, the IU hockey team showed no signs of rust as it controlled both games of the weekend set against the Boilermakers — winning 11-4 and 13-3.

Hoosiers impress with guts

By Ryan Phillips · Wednesday, Jan. 18,2006 12:34 a.m.

Sometimes all you need is guts. There was a moment during Tuesday night's 62-60 win over Illinois that I'll remember for a long time. After suffering what looked like a serious ankle injury early in the second half, junior Roderick Wilmont emerged from the Hoosier locker room with 14:24 remaining in the game and was greeted with a standing ovation. Wilmont had absolutely taken over the game until his injury and was dominating on both ends of the floor. Had the injury been more serious, the Hoosiers might have been doomed to their second conference loss. As he emerged from the locker room, looking like Willis Reed in the 1970 NBA Finals, you could see nothing was going to keep him from finishing the game. When he finally re-entered, he immediately made another contribution by hitting a 3-pointer while being fouled. He finished the night with 17 points and nine rebounds.

Lightning Rod

Former Hoosiers Tom Coverdale and Kyle Hornsby always told junior guard Rod Wilmont to wait his turn. And Tuesday night, his turn finally came.

Judging a justice

Confirm Sam Alito is an unabashedly pro-government, pro-establishment tool of The Man, who hates freedom, black people and criminal suspects.

Confirm Unfortunately, I have no choice but to support Samuel Alito's confirmation. I might not like his political views, but there is nothing in his record to warrant a no vote. His record shows him to be a serious jurist who operates well within the bounds of acceptable judicial practice.

Confirm The Democratic opposition to the nomination of Judge Samuel A. Alito Jr. is of little relevance to an outstanding record.

Confirm With Sandra Day O'Connor out of the way, the confirmation of Samuel Alito will allow the Supreme Court justices to finally fulfill their dream of forming a KC and the Sunshine Band cover band.

Confirm So great was the Democrats' attempt to slander Samuel Alito during his hearings that one could have thought Alito had personally devoted his career to stealing wheelchairs from the disabled. But even this ad hominem strategy will not slow the growing influence of constitutional principle in the judiciary. One consequence of this principle concerns vital presidential powers, which many Democrats seek to shackle.

Reject Two things about Samuel Alito strike me as particularly suspect. The first is his apparent tendency toward racism and misogyny. Nearly everyone by now has heard of his involvement with the organization Concerned Alumni of Princeton; the values of the organization are in direct contradiction with the sentiments of the Constitution, and putting a man who espouses such beliefs in a position of so much power is dangerous.

Confirm The abortion controversy is a red herring that obscures the most important issue regarding Alito and the increasingly imperial presidency.

Confirm After watching hours of confirmation hearings on C-SPAN, I concluded the 18 hours of interrogation probably could have been squeezed into two. But, unfortunately, voters in Massachusetts, New York and Vermont elect senators who spend half their "questioning" time grasping at straws to attack the upstanding federal judge. Sens. Ted Kennedy, Chuck Schumer, Pat Leahy and their voters should all be ashamed of such behavior.

Reject The United States should be moving forward, not backward, in the struggle for gender equality. If Samuel Alito is confirmed as Supreme Court justice, the progress generations of women before us made could be reversed.

IPod chic

The American college campus, once identified by its historical libraries and gothic-style architecture is now being defined by an abundance of Powerbooks, cell phones, iPods and perpetual electronic connectivity that was non-existent just a decade ago.

Wanted: President for students

By Alyson Brodsy and Christina Galoozis · Wednesday, Jan. 18,2006 12:12 a.m.

Stable is definitely not how I would describe the current situation at IU. This weekend, we lost yet another leader when President Adam Herbert announced his intended departure in 2008. Whether that's sad or glad news for you, the fact remains that the IU board of trustees will be searching -- again -- for a new face of the University.

Athletes party?

By Alyson Brodsy and Mark Weinberg · Wednesday, Jan. 18,2006 12:11 a.m.

It's amazing what passes for major news in the United States these days. Last week while a showdown with Iran regarding its nuclear weapons program grew closer, while Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon lie in a coma, and while the bird flu made it to Europe, the major U.S. news outlets were fixated on a skier's admission that he partied. A young, professional athlete drinks and parties? I'm shocked, simply shocked.
