Your choice

By Waddell Hamer · Tuesday, Sept. 26,2006 10:52 p.m.

According to Merriam- Webster, "contribute" means "to give or supply in common with others." According to the IU code of student rights, part 1 section F, students have the right to "contribute to the making of institutional policy generally affecting their social or academic affairs." I'm no Einstein, but that definition suggests that, as a student body, our input on important issues affecting students should be on equal terms with those of the administration and trustees. And as of now, I really don't feel that has been the case with the search process for the new University president.

Nobel nominee speaks on campus

By Carly Dachis · Tuesday, Sept. 26,2006 11:04 a.m.

As Rebiye Kadeer walked into the lecture room where members of her audience watched and smiled, she held both hands to her heart. It was only a year and a half ago in a Chinese prison that she was forbidden to read, write, speak or smile. Those who simply looked at her were tortured. Kadeer, a 2006 Nobel Peace Prize nominee, spoke Monday night in Wylie Hall on the state of her oppressed people and the life she led before her imprisonment during a 40-minute lecture. With the help of her assistant and translator Alim Seytoff, Kadeer entertained listeners through her subtle jokes and tales of her rich experiences. "The happiest moment of a person's life is to pay a price for the freedom of her people," Kadeer said during her lecture. "If a person can't love his family, his people or his homeland, he can't love anybody."

Bring on the Braille

By Don Kaczorowski · Tuesday, Sept. 26,2006 12:11 a.m.

At many restaurants Mary Stores has to either have a friend read off the menu or have the server tell her what is on it. Stores, a Bloomington resident who is blind, said this isn't a pleasant experience. "The waiter has other things going on, and I get the short version," she said. Stores is just one of the visually impaired persons who will benefit from a recently announced program designed to bring Braille and large-print menus to more restaurants in the Bloomington area.

Philadelphia -- Crotchety old science professors are becoming a rarer breed, at least for students at the University of Pennsylvania School of Engineering and Applied Science. In the last five years alone, Penn's Engineering School has made a total of 35 new hires, and more than half of the engineering faculty were hired within the last eight years, according to Engineering School Dean Eduardo Glandt. And some of these professors are just a few years older than the students they teach.

IU's Graduate and Professional Student Organization will kick off a new program Friday geared toward building a stronger community and work environment for those in graduate school.
