'Eyes Wide Shut' deserves second look

Last year was a superb year for celluloid. The only problem is that one of the best films of 1999, if not the decade, was often misjudged and even ignored overall at awards time. The movie in question, "Eyes Wide Shut," deserves a second look.

Spirits abound on campus

Sit very quietly and listen to the silence in the Career Development Center, and you'll hear the ghosts of unborn babies crying. Or maybe it's just the whirring of the copy machines.

Johnson giving Senate campaign 100% effort

David Johnson is playing the odds. Despite an almost overwhelming public perception that no one can defeat incumbent Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Ind.), Johnson, the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate, is standing resolutely on his platform for Congressional change.

Incumbent campaigns for 5th Senate term

He could just sit back and relax. Incumbent Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., is seeking re-election to a fifth consecutive term this year, and he is leading by double digits in every poll across the state. But Lugar is treating this election as though he were a first-time candidate.

Grad students debate options

The Graduate Student Organization sponsored an open forum Monday for graduate students, in which they were encouraged to voice their opinions in regard to how the IU Student Association is representing them and if that representation is effective.

'With liberty and constitutionality for all'

No government is good government -- at least, if you ask Libertarian U.S. Senate candidate Paul Hager. A lone wolf struggling to escape the partisan politics surrounding this year's election, Hager has focused his campaign on traditional Libertarian values.

Senate candidates emphasize importance of youth voter turnout

It seems the nation is abuzz with election zeal right now. But the politicians know better. They understand America is caught in a downward spiral of declining voter turnout. They know young voters are among the worst offenders when it comes to political nonchalance. And they're left with the question many pundits have recently considered: "How do we make them care?"

Rally addresses salaries

Child-care employees, parents, students and concerned community members gathered Monday at the Sample Gates to rally for higher wages and benefits for IU's child-care employees. The event, organized by an ad hoc committee of parents and teachers, wanted to draw attention to the low pay at the child-care centers.

The season that could have been

The women's soccer team doesn't like to reflect on what could have been. But after Sunday's 3-1 win against Kentucky, the Hoosiers (8-9-1) have found it more difficult to avoid wondering what could have been this season.

Hoosiers fall deeper into the hole

Like an undertaker, former IU coach Bill Mallory buried IU's football program six feet deep into a losing hole.

Hoosiers focus on attitude, desire

The volleyball team is giving itself a makeover. After a dismal 3-7 start in Big Ten play, the Hoosiers have started making changes, both in their line up and their attitude.

The women's swimming and diving team won 10 events to defeat Illinois 180.50-118.50 Saturday at the Counsilman Billingsley Aquatic Center.

United States' 'drug war' is a failure

Al Gore and George W. Bush surely disagree on some issues, but drug control isn't one of them. The subject is a total nonissue during this election, and the only drugs being discussed are the prescription kind.

Compromise to RPS' credit

Last week, Residential Programs and Services revamped its Thanksgiving break housing policy, much to its credit. Students -- particularly international and out-of-state students -- stand to benefit from this thoughtful change in policy.
