LETTER: In response to "Indiana abortion law harms education"

By Rev. Ray Salemink · Sunday, June 12,2016 6:20 p.m.

In an editorial article published in the June 6th Indiana Daily Student, entitled “Indiana abortion law harms education,” the student editors claim this law compromises and infringes upon “Education at a secular, government-funded university,” by “one particular religious ideology.” They imply that this “religious ideology” is Christianity, later stating “America is not a Christian nation.”  In a Gallup poll conducted in January of this year  (http://www.gallup.com/poll/1576/abortion.aspx), 46% of those polled consider themselves pro-life.

COLUMN: Hidden artwork wasted in seaports

By Rachel Miller · Sunday, June 5,2016 5:26 p.m.

            In a world where everyone wants to keep getting richer, art collectors are no different. Due to extremely high value of famous artworks, contemporary art collectors are storing their artworks in metal shipping containers in tax free ports in order to have the works appreciate in value without the burden of taxes.             To these contemporary collectors, the artworks are merely assets to be bought, sold and appreciated monetarily rather than culturally.
