The first sign of the West Nile virus this year was announced today by Monroe County health officials.
Welcome New York students! Having lived in your state for 30 years, happily and productively though being a native Hoosier, I am familiar with both. I lived all over Manhattan during the early years of my career. As a young girl, provincial and unsophisticated, N.Y.C. might have swallowed me. Such was not the case. Not only did it accept me – it gave me space and I was happy.
Thursday’s Indiana Daily Student column was “Teen mothers are all the rage” by Claire Burke. ‘All the rage’ I would hardly say only because this is what sells in my opinion. It starts off by saying, “The Spears family has done it again”. Why must we keep relating everything back to Jamie Lynn? Is it because here she is, another young female that lives the life of fame and at the age of 17 had a baby? Oh, well she made the decision to have unprotected sex – the same as people do everyday and the outcome was that she got pregnant just as ordinary people do.
It’s unfortunate that the “political” director of the IU Republicans doesn’t know the difference between a monarchy and a socialized republic. The first takes your money and land and keeps them, allowing certain citizens to starve. The latter takes a part of your money and uses it to feed those who are starving. One could call it “institutionalized charity.”
The caliber of Indiana’s health care system has been called into question. An IU study led by Michael Reece, director of the Center for Sexual Health Promotion in the University’s School of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation, found that medical providers in rural areas of Indiana felt impeded in their ability to offer quality care to some of their patients: those who suffer dually from HIV and substance abuse or a mental disorder due to significant stigma and discrimination in the rural medical referral system.
The man crusaded against the Federal Reserve System, hinted about a plan for a North American Union and claimed that the Federal Income Tax was unconstitutional. When Ron Paul ran for the Republican presidential nomination last year, he inspired legions of followers and for a time was raising more money than John McCain. I can truly say that Ron Paul was the phenomenon of our campus last year. Ron Paul carried on his campaign after it was really over, securing plenty of votes in primaries long after McCain was the presumptive nominee, and holding a Rally for the Republic during the Republican National Convention that attracted almost as many people.
When the notion of “cruel and unusual punishment” was conceived in the 17th century, it was probably hoped the phrase would be more broadly applied and understood in later years. While many European countries have taken the cue, promoting rehabilitation as an alternative to jail stints, the American view of crime is increasingly regressive. Our support of capital punishment, despite doubts over the prisoner’s guilt, is particularly troubling.
Monday evening, I went to the IU College Republicans call-out meeting. Of course, I had no intention of joining the party. But I had heard that a special guest, ex-congressman Mike Sodrel, would be there to greet students. I thought it would be worth my time to become a little more familiar with the man who represented me on Capitol Hill for two years.

Cory Barker discusses the new TV season.
Three WEEKEND Reviewers cuss and discuss the newest tracks in music.
At times, year seven of our peek at Superman before he dawns the cape had some of the best story lines in the show’s 152 episode run, but also some of the very worst.
Even with a wacky season three, “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia” remains one of the best comedies on television. Seriously, any show that has the balls to feature babies in dumpsters is tremendously awesome in my book
Simpson’s attempt at country heartache sucks just as much as her pop outings.
Day After Tomorrow proves Baez can still be relevant after all these years.
And although these tracks alone make the album worth listening to, the rest of the songs are disappointing and uneven. Yet, overall this tour-de-force of sound is worth checking out for intrigue alone.
Although The Stand Ins doesn’t quite compare to its predecessor, it’s still a strong album.
