Colts Titans Football

Indianapolis goes on the road, beats Tennessee

·

Vince Young and the Tennessee Titans have run out of magic, at least against the Indianapolis Colts. Peyton Manning threw for 312 yards and a touchdown, and the Colts held off Tennessee for a 22-20 victory Sunday when the Titans couldn’t pull off a final-drive comeback. This time, the Titans (1-1) trailed by 13 points instead of 14.

Not a woman’s burden

ATTENTION ALL WOMEN! In order to avoid rape or assault, abstain from leaving your home at night. If you must go out for, say, a medical emergency, travel in a herd; form a human shield if necessary. Never attend parties and never consume alcoholic beverages, as a state of intoxication renders you more vulnerable to attacks.

Undocumented successes

No admission to state schools for illegal immigrants. No financial aid for illegal immigrants. These are the new rallying cries of Virginia politician Jerry Kilgore, who wants to pass a law banning illegal immigrants from state universities. Is this an actual policy or just political rabble-rousing? Could this trend continue at IU? The issue has emotional value for many voters and thus garners media attention - not just because it is underhanded to use as scapegoats those who have no political rights to defend themselves, but also because it exploits the nerves of Americans who are struggling to pay tuition.

Human after all

·

I spent the first part of my summer studying in Florence, Italy along with 35 other IU students. During my time there, I learned a lot about Italian culture, history and art. I also ended up learning a lot about American culture – specifically, IU culture. Our program was like a microcosm of IU. We even learned directly from IU professors in the comfort of our own pension and around Florence. We consisted of greek members, artsy kids, music majors, a football player and so many more.

Make war with love

·

Do you love your country? Do you love it more than going to class? Last week, an event came to pass that threatened to upend the world order and undermine U.S. competitiveness in a key strategic area – and it’s going to be up to us to take a break from school and set things right.

For this week’s column, I thought I’d preach at you about something, well, environmental, for a change. Recently, I read an article about how Quarter Pounders and top sirloin are destroying the environment, and I thought that would be perfect to discuss. It turns out that annually, massive animal feeding operations release into the atmosphere more than 100 million tons of methane, a greenhouse gas that’s about 20 times more powerful than carbon dioxide. As far as my column’s call to action, it would be fairly straightforward: go vegetarian.

ONLINE ONLY: September: Hollywood’s armpit?

·

Ah, September. In many ways its arrival brings joy to people each year for three reasons: cooler weather, football and the return of quality television. While that’s great for those people, September typically isn’t kind to moviegoers. For those who follow films and release dates closely, it’s common knowledge that September is nothing more than a wasteland.
