Nothing to cry over

By Alyson Brodsy and Edward Delp · Tuesday, Nov. 16,2004 11:54 p.m.

How did I feel when I heard Yasser Arafat was dead? Well, I thought to myself that maybe his death is not necessarily a bad thing. I shouldn't go so far as to say it is good that he is dead, but his death is certainly nothing to cry over. Arafat was a murderer and master manipulator who caused his people to suffer while making himself and those around him rich. Sound familiar? Saddam Hussein will hopefully suffer the same painful fate.

By Alyson Brodsy and Daniel Hiester · Tuesday, Nov. 16,2004 11:53 p.m.

Daylight-saving worth changing

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Nov. 16,2004 11:49 p.m.

Daylight-saving time is not some random system implemented by most states to confuse Indiana. Mitch Daniels is, in fact, on the right track by attempting to lead Indiana out of the "dark ages." Even if one ignores the fact that the time difference creates a disconnect between Indiana and various other states within our time zone, in terms of commerce and casual communication, there are legitimate health benefits associated with daylight-saving.

A thin line: do not cross

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Nov. 16,2004 11:48 p.m.

Students at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign are in an uproar over a comic strip printed in their student newspaper. The Daily Illini recently published a comic involving a student who wants to tell a "Jew joke" but decides against it because he doesn't want "Isaiah down at the bank to beat me with his nose." The comic and its creator, Matt Vroom, immediately drew negative attention from both Jewish groups and students. Vroom's comic strips have been known to poke fun at stereotypes, but this time he went too far.
