There was nothing distinctive about the Catholic school uniform that Garlia Jones wore in the mid-90s. A speaker came to her school one day to present information on HIV/AIDS. During the next four years, Jones said she distinguished herself by wearing a red ribbon -- a pin she received that day.

By Joanna Barnett · Tuesday, Oct. 10,2006 11:33 p.m.

When Kate Cruikshank, Lilly Library's political papers specialist, first saw Matt Kohn's documentary, "Call It Democracy," she was captivated and wanted to share it.

Putin vs. the press

By Alyson Brodsy and Waddell Hamer · Tuesday, Oct. 10,2006 11:32 p.m.

I know many will say it's not such a good idea to give the Bush administration suggestions on where to spread democracy next, but I'm not too worried. If the man doesn't read national newspapers, chances are he's not going to read the Indiana Daily Student. Nevertheless, I would like to suggest that Bush encourage Russia to swallow a heavy dose of liberty. I recognize that democracy there only dates back to 1991, so they're fairly new at this, but in light of recent events, I find it very hard to believe that Russia's system is healthy.

Who owns the Web?

By Alyson Brodsy and Brian J. McFillen · Tuesday, Oct. 10,2006 11:29 p.m.

On Monday, search-engine titan Google acquired the post-your-own-videos site YouTube for a cool $1.65 billion. While this deal is significant in and of itself, the major implications will be determined in the coming months as owners of copyrighted content and their lawyers challenge YouTube users' freedom to upload video clips -- the freedom that made YouTube valuable in the first place.

Spam I am

By Joanna Borns · Tuesday, Oct. 10,2006 11:26 p.m.

A wise British pop singer named Petula Clark once said, er, sang: "When you're alone and life is making you lonely, you can always go -- downtown." That's a great idea. But if you're not looking for hookers, there's a better way to end your loneliness. Check your e-mail. You have an inbox full of love. But before you run to your computer, I will warn you: Your friends and family did not e-mail you. They don't have the time, or they simply don't care. (And honestly, who could blame them?)

Satisfying sustainability supporters

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Oct. 10,2006 11:18 p.m.

Everyone knows that IU is better than Purdue -- it's a simple fact of life. Our campus is more attractive, our academics better and even our lack of a real mascot is superior to their Purdue Pete. However, IU has been falling behind Purdue and many other universities in a very critical area: campus environmental sustainability. While our School of Public and Environmental Administration is no slouch, Purdue has both a Center for the Environment and an Interdisciplinary Center for Ecological Sustainability. What's going on here?

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Oct. 10,2006 11:04 p.m.

The Washington Post reported that members of the U.S. military wounded in action in Iraq last month rose to the highest number -- 776 -- since the attempt to retake Fallujah in November 2004. The total number of troops wounded in the Iraq war is more than 20,000. With the November elections approaching, should these statistics affect the results?
