Why do others hate us?

By Joe Walterman · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

The devil himself couldn't have dreamt up this week's horror. Needless to say, this is hardly the end, but the beginning of something terrible. As I think about the people on the airplanes that were used to kill thousands, as I watch replays of the World Trade Center towers crashing, as I see the smoldering hole in our defense building, as I wonder what is to come, I can only think, "Why?" "Why do so many others hate us?"

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Authorities are looking into a new lead in the Jill Behrman case. Behrman, a 19-year-old lifelong Bloomington resident who had just completed her freshman year at IU, went out for a bike ride on the morning of May 31 last year. She never returned. Her bike turned up later that day in an Ellettsville cornfield, more than 10 miles away from where she was last seen. Bloomington police and the FBI have since been investigating the presumed abduction.

This is shaping up to be President George W. Bush's first major foray into foreign relations -- an area in which he seemed to be weak during his election campaign.

Freshmen should live on campus

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Foster Quad, Eigenmann Hall and Ashton Center are just a few of the dorms scheduled to be renovated soon. This is to not only make the dorms look nicer in appearance, but also to make them more appealing to upperclassmen. A vast majority of upperclassmen live off campus because it allows them more freedom. Members of the community are bothered by students as neighbors; the noise level and the reputation of the neighborhood are only a few issues concerning citizens of Bloomington.

There's something in the water

By Robert Oprisko · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Misogyny seems to be a word that is thrown about more and more in today's society. It is said the objectification of women leads to it, that professional sports help nourish it and conservativism is a mindset which allows it to flourish. Not only are such statements overtly condescending and anti-masculine, but it is also the end result of a liberal mindset that is so cravenly PC that the wonderful federated republic in which we live (yes, the U.S. is not a democracy) is doomed to hear such things as a growing sentiment.

The buck stops here

By Barb Allard and Barbara Allard · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

There are two kinds of paper money floating around Bloomington these days. One is U.S. currency. The other is not Monopoly money, although it does bear some resemblance. The currency is good at more than 40 area businesses. The alternate money is called BloomingHours, with bills equivalent to $10, $5 and $2.50 in U.S. currency. The bills are measured in hours' worth of work. Bills can be purchased at dollar value at the Center for Sustainable Living, 116 1/2 S. College Ave, Suite 15.

Pastor renovates house

By Christopher Carpenter · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Nestled in the woods on 17th Street, the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity house sat empty and unused. Dry leaves built up in the doorways, and tree branches littered the yard. That is how it appeared to the Fellowship of Collegiate Christians Pastor Richard Burdett and his wife one day when they drove by it in 1997. Burdett said his wife looked at the house and said, "You know, somebody needs to claim that place for the Lord and his work."
