IUSA aims to serve as student voice

By Anne Keshner · Tuesday, Oct. 3,2000 2:04 a.m.

The IU Student Association is working on a variety of projects this year that range from putting together an IU auction Web site, where students can locally sell furniture and a variety of odds and ends to other students, as well as trying to get more pencil sharpeners in the buildings across campus.

Ballroom Dance Club seeks new members

By Ericka Andersen · Tuesday, Oct. 3,2000 2:02 a.m.

Upon hearing the words "ballroom dancing," one might form a mental picture of huge banquets or balls in the 19th century or vaguely recall the waltz from seventh grade gym class. But at IU, the art of these classic dances is still alive.

Izard lawsuit unfounded

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Oct. 3,2000 1:57 a.m.

Former IU women's basketball coach Jim Izard filed a federal discrimination complaint Thursday against IU, claiming his dismissal was based on his gender. This claim is without merit.

Abortion pill step in right direction

By Aaron Wulf and Aaron J. Wulf · Tuesday, Oct. 3,2000 1:51 a.m.

The Food and Drug Administration finally approved the use of the abortion pill RU-486 in the United States last Thursday. Mifepristone, as it is known by its chemical name, gives women the choice of a chemical abortion opposed to a surgical one.

By Alyson Brodsy and Joseph S. Pete · Tuesday, Oct. 3,2000 1:48 a.m.

Marty McSorley loves collecting glass unicorns and colorful friendship bracelets. He enjoys reading the Saturday Evening Post and Reader's Digest. McSorley religiously watches "Friends" because he thinks it's a hoot.

Politics more than donkeys and elephants

By Brian Hartz · Tuesday, Oct. 3,2000 1:46 a.m.

Those who read the IDS opinion page on a regular basis have probably noticed a recurring political column called "Head to Head." This column, written by leaders of the IU College Republicans and IU College Democrats, features a different topic each week discussed from each organization's own perspective. These topics sometimes correspond with the issues being run into the ground by our two erstwhile bastions of presidential potential, Al Gore and George W. Bush.

Trustees and the 'spirit of the law'

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Oct. 3,2000 12:54 a.m.

Wasn't there something in the new Code of Conduct about acting in a forthright manner with people? No deceptive answers? No half-truths? And aren't athletes, being representatives of the University, expected to operate to a higher standard than other students? So shouldn't the president and trustees be expected to operate at an even higher standard?

Administration should appreciate greeks' activities

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Oct. 3,2000 12:53 a.m.

All right, enough is enough. This is ridiculous. Fraternities and sororities have taken enough abuse from this University. We understand that alcohol is a big problem on many campuses across the country, but how much more flack are we going to have to take for it? The University has cracked down on the greek system way too hard.

Homosexuals need the right of marriage

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Oct. 3,2000 12:50 a.m.

The Boys Scouts' anti-gay policy has recently been defended by Randy Brown, executive of the Hoosier Trails Council. It isn't really discriminatory, he claims, because the Scouts want leaders who will exemplify their values about abstinence before marriage and fidelity during it.

Skateboarders ruin campus appearance

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Oct. 3,2000 12:49 a.m.

I am writing about the skateboarding ordinance recently passed by the Bloomington Common Council. I would like to remark that this is something that perhaps IU should consider also. I am a recently graduated IU alumna, and I passed by countless limestone curbs and low walls last year on campus that had been ruined by the ugly skid marks left by skateboarders.

Alumni should redirect contributions

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Oct. 3,2000 12:48 a.m.

I read with great interest two stories featured on your front page: "IU rejects alum's offer" and "United Way celebrates start of campaign year" (IDS, Sept. 29). While in the first story, Internet entrepreneur Mark Cuban's kindly offer of $540,000 to defray the cost of bandwidth for using Napster had been rebuked, the second story noted United Way of Monroe County struggled to raise the same amount during last year's charity drive.

University should support students with disabilities

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Oct. 3,2000 12:46 a.m.

Years ago, I attended IU as a student in the MBA program. It was at IU where I met my wife of 32 years. I have been proud of being a graduate of IU and of the quality of education I received. When my son informed me that he wanted to attend IU, my wife and I were very happy.

Hostettler votes against legislation

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Oct. 3,2000 12:45 a.m.

I find it extremely disturbing that Congressman John Hostettler voted against the hate crimes bill last week. It is appalling that our "representative" can disregard the importance of an issue such as hate crimes.

Sexpert

By Jenny Finkel · Monday, Oct. 2,2000 11:47 p.m.

Dear Sexpert, I am in a relatively new relationship, and everything is going really well except for one thing. Whenever my girlfriend and I have sex, I always feel like I'm doing all the work.

'Jekyll & Hyde' comes up short

By Daniel Peretti · Monday, Oct. 2,2000 11:14 a.m.

Every so often, a story strikes such a chord that it becomes a part of the vernacular. Such is the case with Robert Louis Stevenson's "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," which was published in 1886.
