McRobbie should sign Climate Protection Commitment

Tuesday, Oct. 23,2007 4:35 p.m.

Friday, the environmental activist community received a boon when leaders in climate change, former vice president Al Gore and the UN-appointed Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, received a joint Nobel Peace Prize. This award solidifies the legitimacy of climate change alongside such corporeal threats as nuclear weapons, landmines and terrorism in the Middle East.

Ron Paul is not anti-abortion

Tuesday, Oct. 23,2007 4:28 p.m.

I enjoyed Kelly Cochran’s article about Monday’s Ron Paul event. However, I would like to make one clarification. Kelly described Ron Paul as anti-abortion, and I don¹t believe that label is accurate. Ron Paul voted nay to the following bills: • Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act, a bill that prohibits the transportation of a minor across state lines to obtain an abortion without the consent of a parent or legal guardian

IDS coverage misrepresents Take Back the Night

Tuesday, Oct. 23,2007 4:28 p.m.

I was beyond disappointed with the IDS’s coverage on Oct. 10 of the Take Back the Night rally. The point of Take Back the Night is that women can reclaim their freedom to walk alone at night, their freedom to be free from unwanted sexual advances, their freedom from fear. This is nothing short of a reclamation of autonomy.

Cooper ignores glaring problems

By Clint Ward · Tuesday, Oct. 23,2007 4:28 p.m.

This is in response to Chase Cooper’s Oct. 10 column “Outraged? Start Paying Attention.” First of all, at one point in the article his grammar is so poor he actually refers to President Bush as a liberal. Secondly, he should be careful with the way he uses the word “propaganda.” The fact is we won’t win in Iraq unless the Iraqi government stands up for itself.

Chalking destroys IU’s beauty

Tuesday, Oct. 23,2007 4:27 p.m.

Aesthetically, the IU campus has gone completely downhill since the start of the semester. Bloomington is known for being one of the country’s most picturesque campuses, but lately, it seems content to lose that reputation. A glance at Woodburn, Ballantine or any of the major walkways on that side of campus reveals chalking by student groups that has gone too far.

Hang up the phone and coach!

Tuesday, Oct. 23,2007 4:27 p.m.

Regarding the recent recruitment violations and subsequent punishments imposed upon IU basketball coach Kelvin Sampson, my first impulse was to begin printing bumper stickers that read: HANG UP AND COACH! Upon further reflection, however, this issue is not very funny. The University is embarrassed, the basketball team loses a scholarship, an assistant coach is barred from off-campus recruiting and making phone calls to recruits (probably a good thing) and Kelvin Sampson forfeits a scheduled $500,000 raise.

Women not to blame for sexual assault, violence

Tuesday, Oct. 23,2007 3:57 p.m.

As the coordinator of rape victim services at Middle Way House, I want to counter the victim-blaming message that emerged from your Oct. 10 article, “United to Take Back the Night.”

Honest liar

By Anna Piontek · Tuesday, Oct. 23,2007 10:14 a.m.

Stephen Colbert – comedian, faux right wing pundit, egomaniac – is running for president. At the time I am writing this, no one knows how serious his bid for the presidency actually is. But his plans are apparently serious enough that he has researched how to get on the South Carolina primary ballot, running as both a Republican and Democrat.

International spouses combat challenges

By Kaitlin Shawgo and Kailtin Shawgo · Monday, Oct. 22,2007 11:57 p.m.

As she recounts her trip to the U.S. from Japan with her husband, Chie Terada plays with her two children in the family’s apartment at Campus View, periodically pausing to speak to them in Japanese. While Terada stays at home to take care of her children, her husband attends classes in the School of Public and Environmental Affairs graduate program.

Fear factor

By Ben Homrig · Monday, Oct. 22,2007 11:24 p.m.

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt once said the only thing there is to fear is fear itself. Every year as Halloween approaches, Roosevelt’s words are put to the test by thrill-seekers around the world, who indulge in visiting haunted houses and watching scary movies.

NASA refuses to disclose results of survey of pilots on air safety

By Rita Beamish · Monday, Oct. 22,2007 11:13 p.m.

MOFFETT FIELD, Calif. – Anxious to avoid upsetting air travelers, NASA is withholding results from an unprecedented national survey of pilots that found safety problems like near collisions and runway interference occur far more frequently than the government previously recognized.

Do you really need 8 glasses of water per day?

By Rachel Pankiw · Monday, Oct. 22,2007 11:11 p.m.

Drink eight glasses of water every day for good health. That’s always been the standard. Not everyone always needs that much, though, said Alice Lindeman, an associate professor in IU’s Applied Health Science Department.
