Scares spread to campus

A hazardous materials crew responded to three anthrax scares on campus Tuesday, the result, an official said, of the dangerous combination of growing fear and a likely harmless white powder. The Bloomington Township Fire Department hazardous materials crew removed a powdery white substance from two Wright Quad bathrooms Tuesday morning and returned to campus in the afternoon to remove a similar substance from a Forest Quad bathroom. While tests on the substance found at Wright have not been completed, a student said the substance found at Forest is Gold Bond medicated powder he spilled in the bathroom.

The American's Creed

About three years ago, while reading various works of the great existentialist writers Albert Camus and Samuel Beckett, I pondered the idea of a godly America -- thinking of the numerous references to God in the public livelihood of this country. In considering existentialism as a school of thought, and to a greater extent, agnosticism and atheism, I realized how unwelcoming America could be to non-believers.

Powell, Pakistan foreign minister discuss post-Taliban Afghanistan

Secretary of State Colin Powell and Pakistani President Gen. Pervez Musharraf agreed Tuesday that moderate officials from Afghanistan's radical Taliban regime should be allowed to serve in a post-Taliban government.

Patriotic for what?

I am a light-skinned African American. My family's roots, a mixture of Africans, Europeans and Native Americans, can be traced back more than 200 years ago to Charleston, S.C.

Yet in the current national climate, I now have to worry about being stopped because I'm black and being stopped because I may look like an Arab.
