My imaginary friend

By Amanda Trost · Monday, Nov. 8,2004 11:50 p.m.

As I sat talking with a friend last week, I found myself saying one of the most embarrassing things I've said in a while: "I wish it were still socially acceptable for 20-somethings to have imaginary friends."

I'm here, Huckleberry

By Brett Warnke · Monday, Nov. 8,2004 11:48 p.m.

My professor asked me what I am going to do in six months when I graduate. I told her earnestly: "I'm moving to a blue state!" I had seriously considered leaving the country for a while, but I don't speak any other languages, and I figured that Los Angeles or Boston are about as foreign to those in the red states as Mogadishu. The election of 2004 wasn't decided by a populace concerned with politics. Instead, those who went to the polls in support of Bush went because of a mystification: "moral values."

Shaken, not slurred

By Felipe Maya · Monday, Nov. 8,2004 11:46 p.m.

I'm all for freedom of speech, but some people seriously make me want to shoot them. It's 2004. Racial slurs should be a thing of the past by now. I know that as long as people are different, there will always be slurs and insults related to those differences. But that blows.

Let's bring it back home

By Alyson Brodsy · Monday, Nov. 8,2004 11:45 p.m.

As the Indiana Daily Student reported Friday, students are reviving a chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union on campus. The group is aptly going to be named the IU Civil Liberties Union. The original group was abandoned six years ago. To the students with the gumption to re-start the group, we say congratulations, and good job. We're looking forward to having a group that will add to IU's already lively political scene. A campus group to make students' voices heard can only be a good thing. Our secondary props go out for their emphasis on the bipartisanship of the group and its politically inclusive attitude.
