Washington U. students excited to host candidates

By Tony Sams · Monday, Oct. 11,2004 1:17 a.m.

ST. LOUIS -- It was a busy week for Washington University students, but not because of an increased homework load. The national media descended from above: MSNBC and CNN set up stages in the campus' center quad. Security levels went through the roof, and students were asked to keep a student I.D. on-hand at all times to prove they actually needed to be on campus.

INDIANAPOLIS -- For the early part of the season, the focus on the Indianapolis Colts has been on quarterback Peyton Manning and the league's No. 4 passing attack. In Sunday's 35-14 win over the Oakland Raiders, running back Edgerrin James reminded everyone that he's still a force on this team, and other teams had better pay attention.

My youth and my well-being are for sale. You know what I get in return for giving away such cherished treasures? Minimum wage. I, like most everyone, am a slave to The Almighty Dollar. The Dollar says, "Jump!" I say, "How high, Mr. Dollar, sir, and would you like a waffle cone with that?"

So which two filthy-rich white men are you voting for? Last Wednesday I was in my favorite coffee shop studying for a class when a couple of friend scame in for their morning pick-me-ups. One of them asked me who I thought had won the Vice Presidential debate. I told her, and although my partisan bias had nothing to do with my answer, she said, "So you're black AND Republican?" Well, yes.

S-A-T is O-U-T

By Alyson Brodsy · Monday, Oct. 11,2004 12:24 a.m.

Bates College, in Maine, released the findings of a 20-year study of its SAT-optional admissions policy at the end of last month. In 1984, the college stopped requiring applicants to submit SAT scores. Two decades later, Bates' study shows very few differences between students who submitted their scores and those who didn't. For example, the overall grade point average of those who submitted scores was 3.11. Those who didn't submit scores averaged 3.06.

By Jorie Slodki · Monday, Oct. 11,2004 12:17 a.m.

With the wide range of religions, ethnicities, economic stations and races present at IU, arriving on campus can cause "culture shock" for many students. Beginning today, that culture shock is diminishing, as part of IU's continuing commitment to bringing these groups together, and creating a diverse but harmonious environment for all.

Pick a note, any note

By John Glover · Monday, Oct. 11,2004 12:14 a.m.

You might notice something odd about the program," a small figure quietly remarked from behind his piano, "and that is that there's no program printed in it." A bemused chuckle floated through the hall as the audience shifted in their seats, eagerly waiting to hear what sounds would greet them next. The concert had opened with a double cartwheel and a raucous mixture of Viennese waltz, "My Way" and "Fur Elise." It was anybody's guess what he might do next.
