IU tries to break 11-game skid

·

Mired in an 11-game losing streak – tying for the longest in school history – fresh off an 0-for-January and still winless in the Big Ten, the Hoosier faithful, once whispering, now see those whispers evolving into an honest question.

Crean: We’ll bring the moxie

·

It’s been 56 calendar days since the IU men’s basketball team last tasted victory. Defeat, in that span, has come in all forms: large, small, close – and heartbreaking.

Where is Obama?

Remember when Obama claimed 10,000 people died in the Kansas twister and blamed Bush for states not having the resources to respond? Obama pledged in the 2008 campaign that “the federal government needs to be a strong, swift, effective partner with state governments in dealing with disasters.”

Bloomington Faculty Council presents 2nd draft of Gen. Peter Pace resolution

·

At the Bloomington Faculty Council’s meeting Tuesday at the Indiana Memorial Union, the council discussed its resolution about General Peter Pace and how the Kelley School of Business invited him to speak and honored him with the Poling Chair of Business and Government in 2008. The BFC Diversity and Affirmative Action Committee drafted the resolution proposing the BFC’s “regret that Gen. Pace was brought to campus in a way that was offensive to the gay and lesbian community.”

Ignorance of conservatism

John Hill’s plug says he’s a senior majoring in economics. From what I can conjecture from Tuesday’s op-ed, I guess that’s why he knows very little about the Republican party, conservatism and, well, politics in general.


Junior A.J. Moir plays on his new computer Tuesday afternoon in his basment after winning a Microsoft contest to pimp out his apartment with technology.

Student 1 of 3 to win Microsoft contest

·

When junior A.J. Moir left a Microsoft promotional campaign at Alumni Hall in the Indiana Memorial Union this fall, he didn’t know he would soon be one of three across the United States to win the “Digital Dorm Room Makeover” sweepstakes and end up with a $5,000 entertainment system. And when Moir received an e-mail in October saying he was a winner, he never thought he would soon update his entire entertainment lifestyle, which was soon to include high-speed Internet access on his new Media Center PC with a TV tuner, Zune media player, Xbox 360 console and brand-new 42-inch 1080p LCD HDTV.

Considering abortion: It’s complex

Some argue abortion is an atrocity – others, a desperate necessity. I feel some issues haven’t been fairly considered.

Unacceptable sidewalk conditions

This letter concerns the total failure of the city administration to clear the roads after the recent snow storms, which has endangered the lives and limbs of most citizens of Bloomington. It is a travesty that large sections of the pavement and Second Street itself, as well as adjoining streets, have not been shoveled either by the owners of the adjoining houses or the apartment complexes.

Investing in inequality

Some nights when I’m falling asleep, I forget that I’m in my bed and imagine instead that I’m attending a performance of the orchestra.

Fiat to the rescue!

·

American car companies have been struggling to survive in this seemingly never-ending recession, and many a question has been raised about which are going to stay afloat. One company might have the answer.

A dying Detroit

·

I’ve lived outside of Detroit for as long as I can remember. When I was less than two years old, my father was transferred to Michigan for a job from Florida. So since it’s virtually my only home, one would think that I would have immense pride for my hometown and city, right?

Indiana not maintaining teacher quality

A 1.33 GPA won’t get you into grad school. It certainly won’t be impressive to any future employers. And it may even result in loss of funding from dear old Mom and Dad.

Pregnancy complications

It was a medical miracle when it happened. Now it’s being criticized as a disastrous lesson in medical ethics.
