Hitchens = warmonger

By David Keppel · Wednesday, Oct. 4,2006 11:16 p.m.

It was disheartening to see the IU School of Journalism lionize Christopher Hitchens, who practices the ultimate form of "newspeak" by domesticating the iconoclasm of George Orwell into sycophancy for President Bush's "War on Terror."

Bloomington federal money should go to poor

By Patrick Bishop · Wednesday, Oct. 4,2006 11:14 p.m.

In response to Paige Ingram's report on the misallocation of federal dollars to Bloomington ("Low-Income students bring city big bucks," Sept. 28) and Kristi Oloffson's article on the Shalom Center homeless shelter ("Local homeless shelter still has no place to go," Sept. 29):

Brian Stewart's empty 'truth'

By Mark Casey · Wednesday, Oct. 4,2006 11:14 p.m.

Opinion columnist Brian Stewart wrote on October 2 ("Postmodernism vs. principle") that "objective truth" is what the world needs now, more than anything. How easy taking that position becomes when this "truth" is on your own side. Not to mention when it is, by definition, infallible.

IDS shouldn't waste time on Phi Psi story

By Chase Oswald · Wednesday, Oct. 4,2006 11:12 p.m.

It's a sad day when such a petty issue as having a hot tub in the chapter of a fraternity sparks the attention of the editor in chief for the Indiana Daily Student. In my opinion and many others', it was a complete waste of space and time for the IDS to publish such a meaningless article.

Myths of war

By Peter Chen · Wednesday, Oct. 4,2006 10:50 p.m.

IX-EN-PROVENCE, France -- When the times challenge our values and perspectives as much as they have the last five years, it's hard to believe anything. We are too close to the events at hand, deprived of an ability to stand back and observe from a distance, to build educated opinions in full.

Bloomington: Hella poor!

Wednesday, Oct. 4,2006 10:49 p.m.

ast Thursday, we reported that Bloomington is the second-most impoverished small city in the country according to the American Community Service census -- a status that gets us hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal funding. Some might claim this money should go to needier communities, but we say "Not so fast!"
