Don't seize the day

By Joanna Borns · Monday, Oct. 18,2004 12:13 a.m.

A cliché wouldn't be a cliché if it didn't roll off the tongue with ease and make absolutely no literal sense. But one particular cliché cuts into my soul and makes me feel a distinct twinge of guilt every time I hear it. "Live each day as if it were your last." Let's stop and evaluate everything I did today. I went to class. I ate a sandwich. I did my Spanish homework. I checked my e-mail. And that was my last day to live? Oops.

Letters to the Editor

By Alyson Brodsy · Monday, Oct. 18,2004 12:11 a.m.

Livin' it up, Libertarian style As usual, this election, I'm glad to be neither a Republican nor a Democrat. If you believe that the faster U.S. soldiers hightail it out of Iraq, the better, for whom can you vote? Bush would continue his war, in its various, horrible forms. Kerry would send more troops to Iraq and perpetuate war as insidiously as Bush. Nader would internationalize it.

By Alyson Brodsy and Tom Raum · Monday, Oct. 18,2004 12:08 a.m.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- With the televised debates behind them, President George W. Bush and Sen. John Kerry have little opportunity further to shape the presidential race except by waging an intense effort in the home stretch aimed at getting out the vote. Voters have a pretty good idea now what Bush and Kerry are all about. There isn't much room for either one to "define" his opponent or himself.

By Amy Barnicle · Friday, Oct. 15,2004 2:19 a.m.

Walking into TomCats Pawn shop, located at 750 W. 17th St., almost feels like walking into a friend's house.

Sadness, madness to gladness

By Matt Glenesk · Friday, Oct. 15,2004 1:37 a.m.

It's finally time for some madness. Good. I could use some madness, being deprived of it last March and all. And you know what? That kind of makes me mad. I expect the football team to be bad, but not the tradition and legacy that is IU basketball. And believe it or not, that's exactly what they were last year -- bad. There's no way to sugarcoat a 14-15 record in a mediocre Big Ten and missing the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 18 years.
