Office of International Services eased transition to campus

By Hee Kap Lee · Monday, Jan. 15,2001 11:07 p.m.

In the afternoon of Dec. 17, I was at Memorial Stadium to participate in the graduation ceremony. Many memories of my last several years at IU passed through my head, but there was one question I continuously asked of myself during the ceremony: What brought me here? Automatically, I started to find the answer for the question. Finally, I realized the many blessings I have received from many warm-hearted persons I have known since I enrolled at IU in fall of 1997. Yes, I am a blessed man that I can finish this program without any critical difficulties.

The struggle of the straight man

By Chris Edwards · Monday, Jan. 15,2001 10:57 p.m.

I am a white male, and to make matters worse for me, despite a shocking lack of evidence for a man my age, I am straight. Being a straight white male isn't easy these days. Time was, we were the scourge of mankind, we could repress and pillage at a whim. Now, I'm lucky if I can kick a puppy without ending up in court.

From Ballantine to the Beltway

By Christina Jewett · Monday, Jan. 15,2001 10:52 p.m.

I'm waging a war with Washington. I grew up under the cloud of smog produced by the steel mills in Northwest Indiana. My lungs conformed to the industrial aura, and I grew to love the local ghost stories, back roads and blizzards. I could navigate Chicago without a map by the age of 12 and came to appreciate Carl Sandburg's Chicago poetry.

Higher education should be a priority

Monday, Jan. 15,2001 10:45 p.m.

If Gov. Frank O'Bannon's Jan. 8 budget proposal passes through Indiana's state legislature, funds given to Indiana's public colleges will be frozen. This is unfortunate for students, faculty and administrators alike. The obvious negative consequences of freezing spending, including large tuition increases and cost cutting, will hurt the University as a whole. In addition, this sends a clear message to Indiana's institutions of higher education -- a message that they are not at the top of the state's priority list.
