American Gladiator

By Mike Abrams · Wednesday, Oct. 10,2007 7:24 p.m.

When I was a little kid, I dreamed of being on three shows: “Legends of the Hidden Temple,” “GUTS” and “American Gladiators.” Since Nickelodeon Games and Sports no longer exists (and since I’m no longer allowed to participate in kids’ game shows), my chance of fulfilling my dream has dwindled down to “American Gladiators.”

We all have anniversaries to celebrate. The standards such as birthdays, first dates or weddings; significant events such as deaths; or life changes such as coming out (my 12-year “Gay Day” anniversary is this fall). I invite you to help me commemorate my five-year anniversary as a vegetarian during this Vegetarian Awareness Month.

Preach on, Preacher Dan!

Wednesday, Oct. 10,2007 7:20 p.m.

"Brother Jim” Gilles is on a mission from God to save your soul. According to his Web site, he has been “your holiness home missionary to the universities America” since 1982. But if he wants to preach at campuses in Indiana, he will have to stay within university-designated areas. Brother Jim sued Vincennes University in 2004 when it required him to file a request before speaking on campus and restricted him to a sidewalk in front of the student union. He claimed that the space was infrequently visited by students and contained loud background noise from passing vehicles.

Tired of politics

By Tristan Reitz · Wednesday, Oct. 10,2007 7:18 p.m.

The American people are sick and tired of politics as usual. For seven years, we have had to endure partisanship that has reached unbelievable levels under a Republican- led government and has not improved much with a Democrat-controlled congress. President Bush’s approval ratings are in the dirt at around 31 percent and Congress isn’t far behind at 22 percent.

Hazy stances

By Amanda Lowry · Wednesday, Oct. 10,2007 7:17 p.m.

I personally believe that there should be a requirement that every politician who runs for public office must have smoked pot at some point. Even if that experience doesn’t make the politician want to legalize it, he or she will at least realize how dangerous it isn’t.
