Your choice

By Waddell Hamer · Tuesday, Sept. 26,2006 10:52 p.m.

According to Merriam- Webster, "contribute" means "to give or supply in common with others." According to the IU code of student rights, part 1 section F, students have the right to "contribute to the making of institutional policy generally affecting their social or academic affairs." I'm no Einstein, but that definition suggests that, as a student body, our input on important issues affecting students should be on equal terms with those of the administration and trustees. And as of now, I really don't feel that has been the case with the search process for the new University president.

Nobel nominee speaks on campus

By Carly Dachis · Tuesday, Sept. 26,2006 11:04 a.m.

As Rebiye Kadeer walked into the lecture room where members of her audience watched and smiled, she held both hands to her heart. It was only a year and a half ago in a Chinese prison that she was forbidden to read, write, speak or smile. Those who simply looked at her were tortured. Kadeer, a 2006 Nobel Peace Prize nominee, spoke Monday night in Wylie Hall on the state of her oppressed people and the life she led before her imprisonment during a 40-minute lecture. With the help of her assistant and translator Alim Seytoff, Kadeer entertained listeners through her subtle jokes and tales of her rich experiences. "The happiest moment of a person's life is to pay a price for the freedom of her people," Kadeer said during her lecture. "If a person can't love his family, his people or his homeland, he can't love anybody."

Bring on the Braille

By Don Kaczorowski · Tuesday, Sept. 26,2006 12:11 a.m.

At many restaurants Mary Stores has to either have a friend read off the menu or have the server tell her what is on it. Stores, a Bloomington resident who is blind, said this isn't a pleasant experience. "The waiter has other things going on, and I get the short version," she said. Stores is just one of the visually impaired persons who will benefit from a recently announced program designed to bring Braille and large-print menus to more restaurants in the Bloomington area.
