IU-Iowa tipoff moved to 6 p.m.

"My primary goal in all this is to get as many people in Assembly Hall as possible," said Athletics Director Fred Glass. "What this does for us, is the people in and around Assembly Hall, primarily students and faculty and staff, can watch pretty much the entire Colts game, and still get to our game. So hopefully that's significant. We appreciate the cooperation of the Big Ten Conference, the Big Ten Network and the University of Iowa."



'Contra' is irresistible

For fans worried the band’s next album would drift too far from that unique sound, “Contra” puts all fears to rest.

Others, not just Bush, deserve blame

·

I disagreed with President Bush all too often; however, as a graduate student in optometry, I’d like to at least think of myself as a critical thinker, and I believe the true problem with the past decade is not how we handled the beginning but how we let it end. The true issues at hand lie in our national debt and universal health care.

Get rid of the South, lose a lot of culture

·

Go ahead and get rid of the South, but in doing so you lose St. Augustine, Fla., the first town in U.S. history. You would rid yourself of the best collegiate football conference, the Southeastern Conference (SEC) – four straight Bowl Championship Series titles have gone to teams in the SEC.

Southern ways are not outdated

·

The other day I read your column titled “The South’s going to do it again.” It is a shame that you believe that my fellow southerners and I are “douche bags.”

No one cares about Sierra Club

·

Last night I had a horrible dream. Woodburn Hall burst into flames from faulty solar panels. I saw a wind farm near Tulip Tree commit genocide on a flock of majestic bald eagles. Then a volcano erupted from the ground, consuming the library. And worst of all, tuition was outrageous.

The pessimism of ‘Avatar’

·

The world of “Avatar” presents its audiences with a classic false choice. You can choose the technology and excessive overconsumption of modern society and get a human race forced to strip mine on an alien moon to save Earth. Or, you can abandon technology and seek some sort of communion with nature like the Na’vi.

Protect gay workers, too

·

Is a country where it is completely legal for a bigoted boss to blatantly discriminate against an employee based on his or her sexual orientation really a country where you want to live and work? I certainly know how I answer that question, and U.S. employers risk losing talented employees if more people answer how I do.
