I am really not so easily assimilated

By Bonnie White · Sunday, Sept. 21,2008 10:08 p.m.

I confess: Every time I go into the kitchen in my French host family’s apartment to make lunch or dinner or to put away a couple groceries I bought at the Monoprix, I feel like I’m doing something wrong, something of which they are sure to disapprove.

Indiana Daily Student: How would you describe your style of music? Ted Pearce: I came from a rock background, so a lot of it’s just soft rock with Hebrew lyrics. I’ve got everything from classical to Cuban.

A beast-sized problem

Sunday, Sept. 21,2008 9:57 p.m.

Apparently IU President Michael McRobbie  is trying to pay more attention to the diversity programs on campus, $1 million worth of attention that is. IU spokesman Larry MacIntyre said the additional funding is part of an effort to increase diversity on campus. It’s a nice sentiment, but it might not be enough. How is $1 million worth of aid to existing diversity programs supposed to substantially increase the amount of minorities applying and attending IU next fall? While the new earmark made headlines, the money could be spread so thin it won’t even make a difference.

Just plain irresponsible

Sunday, Sept. 21,2008 9:56 p.m.

I am in downright shock that a political science major could publish such a short-sighted view about the Palin situation. While I completely agree that it’s ridiculous when the first thing a student says about Sarah Palin is “her daughter’s pregnant,” there is a far larger issue that should be addressed. It is obvious that Kristi LaFree is actually the one who fails to “discover the real issue here,” as she so nicely put it.

Hidden danger

By Danielle Fleischman · Sunday, Sept. 21,2008 9:55 p.m.

There is a threat on the highways far deadlier than terrorists and mercury. It is something more dangerous than drugs and has now been proven to be a larger threat to life than alcohol. This threat is no stranger. It is an activity that we have all passively watched our friends and peers execute.

Nervous to vote

By Jordan Zaslow · Sunday, Sept. 21,2008 9:51 p.m.

In the 2000 election, American voters cast their ballots and, after a controversy that left Al Gore dissatisfied, George Bush was sworn into office. Though Bush hardly won by a landslide, he still won – and the voters of America made it happen. Sure, everybody makes mistakes, but the mistake was not corrected when voters were given the chance in 2004. Way to go, eligible voters of 2004.

Endangered species barely staying afloat

By Abby Schwimmer · Sunday, Sept. 21,2008 9:50 p.m.

You’ve got a paper due by midnight. Your parents are coming to visit this weekend, but your apartment still smells like dirty socks and you’re a little stressed out. But amidst the madness, remember to keep things in perspective – there’s usually someone who’s got it worse than you. Think of it this way: At least you aren’t a polar bear.

The scariest thing on campus

By Tyler Chernesky · Sunday, Sept. 21,2008 9:49 p.m.

I’ve been scared to walk around campus lately – and not just because the Bloomington slasher’s still on the loose. In fact, there’s something far more frightening roaming the sidewalks of this great campus, something deranged and single-minded that terrorizes students who want nothing more than a peaceful stroll to their next class: political activists.

Alex Rice is only 13 years old, but he already knows the Bloomington Police Department like the back of his hand. Dressed in a BPD polo and hat, Rice spent his Saturday morning looking at the different patrol cars officers use. He dreams of one day riding in the car as a police officer and not just as an attendee of BPD’s open house. The BPD open house kicked off at 9 a.m. Saturday at the BPD headquarters, 220 E.

Ball State wide receiver leaves game on stretcher

Saturday, Sept. 20,2008 8:22 p.m.

Memorial Stadium hit its loudest decibel level of the game midway through the second quarter. The IU football team had just had a huge momentum swing, when freshman corner Chris Adkins jarred the ball loose from Cardinal standout wide receiver Dante Love, and the ball was returned for a touchdown, pulling the Hoosiers within a two points at 14-12. But silence instantly overcame the crowd when it became apparent Love hadn’t been moving since the hit.
