Super Super Bowl coverage?

By Cory Barker · Wednesday, Feb. 6,2008 10:13 p.m.

When it comes to Super Bowl Sunday, everyone knows there’s a lot more going on than just the game. For the entire event to be an overwhelming success, most people — diehard football fans and non-fans alike — agree that the usually star-studded commercials must be pretty creative.

University fails environment

By Benjamin Kitto · Wednesday, Feb. 6,2008 10:09 p.m.

Several recent IDS articles highlight a media trend by discussing problems caused by climate change and potential remedies, instead of debating the phenomenon’s existence. This development represents a change that has taken place in the minds of Indiana undergraduates.

Endorsements don’t affect vote

By Alex Luboff · Wednesday, Feb. 6,2008 10:05 p.m.

I am writing a response to the Editorial Board’s piece titled “Rock(y) the Vote” from Feb. 1. I agree that celebrity endorsements are not that important, but I think that you missed an important point, and also gave too much credit to these public announcements. First of all, to say that

Where’s the beef?

By Stephen Tillotson · Wednesday, Feb. 6,2008 9:43 p.m.

With the campaign season in full swing and economic woes about the nation, our nation’s leaders once again attempt to bring us into line with their initiatives using creative phrasings, silly monikers and allusions to the unproven.

Chase needs a new job

By Clint Ward · Wednesday, Feb. 6,2008 9:41 p.m.

How is Chase Cooper the opinion editor? He never cites his sources and frequently doesn’t get his facts right. In his Jan. 29 column (“Keep the change”) he said that half of the adults in the U.S. would not vote for Hillary

Real obscenities

By Phil Eskew · Wednesday, Feb. 6,2008 9:40 p.m.

I find it odd that IU Athletic Director Rick Greenspan is ready to call up the IDS and harp on the students for chanting obscenities, but couldn’t be bothered a few

Bigotry works both ways

By David Talcott · Wednesday, Feb. 6,2008 9:39 p.m.

Anna Piontek’s recent article “Indiana Bigotry” (Feb. 4) is mere rhetoric. Laws that prohibit gay marriage do not violate the separation of church and state and are not hateful. In fact, Anna’s own criticism of

Remembering Dr. Katz

By J. Jeremy Crouch · Wednesday, Feb. 6,2008 9:37 p.m.

I was saddened to hear about the death of Dr. Irving Katz on Jan. 24, 2008. Dr. Katz meant a lot to me. I had the pleasure of taking five of his history courses, including American Jewish History. He more than held my interest. Each of his lectures was more like story time rather th

Stand for something

By Chelsea Kane · Wednesday, Feb. 6,2008 9:34 p.m.

I talk about politics a lot. Many people assume that it is my sole passion to follow politics; in reality, it is not. I enjoy politics and am proud of the work I do.

Devil in the details

By Jacob Levin · Wednesday, Feb. 6,2008 9:27 p.m.

Alot of people will tell you that it’s the Devil who is responsible for all the world’s suffering. But as far as I’m concerned, the Devil doesn’t exist. I think it’s

A gamble not worth taking

By Abra Oliver · Wednesday, Feb. 6,2008 9:23 p.m.

At the risk of stating the obvious, it is apparent that Indiana is facing a severe cash crunch. Projections from government agencies predict that the state will experience a $231 million shortfall this year alone. So, when the legislature looked to bulk up revenues, it left the usual suspects untouched. Instead, the legislature hit upon an incongruous idea, one that is at odds with the professed values of legislators. Thanks to House Bill 1153, currently under consideration in the Senate, more than 7,000 bars, taverns and restaurants in the state will likely soon be able to offer pull tabs and other forms of low-stakes gambling. Independent agencies have estimated that as a result of this legislation, the state can raise anywhere from $5 million to $25 million.

Roach Motel: Partiers of the past, present find common ground

By Vivian Huang · Wednesday, Feb. 6,2008 6:55 p.m.

Behind a white, almost rotted, wooden sign accented with two hand-drawn roaches, a passerby would not suspect the Roach Motel to be more than an ordinary house with an unfortunate nickname. But from the Dunn family to a famous drummer to porn stars, the Roach Motel at the corner of Seventh Street and Indiana Avenue has seen it all.

Inefficient intolerance

By Thomas Wachtel · Wednesday, Feb. 6,2008 11:16 a.m.

Last week, the Indiana State Senate approved a joint resolution endorsing an amendment to the Indiana Constitution that would define marriage as only between a man and a woman. This amendment would effectively act as a permanent ban on gay marriage in the state of Indiana. The amendment now goes to the House.
