Borrowed money, borrowed time

By Chase Cooper · Tuesday, Sept. 23,2008 11:29 p.m.

When economist John Maynard Keynes, highly regarded among modern liberals, famously summarized the notion that it’s often better to improve immediate circumstances than to constantly plan for the future. “In the long run,” he quipped, “we’re all dead.” As it turns out, “the long run” might just be 2008.

The Harold effect

By Ayesha Awan · Tuesday, Sept. 23,2008 11:27 p.m.

Unless you’ve spent the last year sedated, you have probably noticed that this year’s presidential election has been charged with talk of racism toward Sen. Barack Obama, starting right at the primaries. In 2008, many Americans would like to think that we, as a nation, have moved beyond racism. Of those who know we haven’t, many acknowledge that at the very minimum, it is no longer socially acceptable to voice racist views.

COMMENTARY: When football becomes just a game

By Bryan Payton · Tuesday, Sept. 23,2008 12:26 a.m.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Bryan Payton is a national sports columnist for the Indiana Daily Student and a running back for the IU football team. This column is his reaction to a career-ending injury sustained by Ball State wide receiver Dante Love in the Hoosiers' game Saturday against Ball State. Going into this past weekend, I planned to write about the Tampa Bay Rays or maybe how politics affects the world of sports, or maybe even the week in football. But after Saturday night, I quickly changed my mind.

Ball State players gather to pray while the medical staff helps teammate Dante Love on Saturday night in Memorial Stadium. Love was motionless on the ground after getting hit by an IU defender and was taken off the field on a stretcher.

Ball State says career over for injured player

Tuesday, Sept. 23,2008 12:22 a.m.

Ball State announced Monday that senior wide receiver Dante Love is expected to lead a healthy life after extensive rehabilitation from a cervical spine fracture and spinal cord injury suffered Saturday night during his team’s 42-20 win against IU. But he is never expected to play football again, according to a Ball State news release. “His football career is expected to be over,” Ball State coach Brady Hoke told The Associated Press. “He has touched a lot of lives, and he will continue to do so.”For senior tight end Darius Hill, Monday’s news came as a relief.“It’s been pretty tough knowing he’s not going to be with us, but he’s always going to be a part of this team,” he told the AP. “It definitely takes a lot (of the concern) off, knowing that he’s going to be all right down the road.”
