America's true enemy

By Jack M. Silverstein and Jack Silverstein · Friday, Sept. 12,2003 1:08 a.m.

Christianity: America's No. 1 enemy. Pretty offensive, huh? I'd say. Certainly there have been Christians in American history who have inflicted terror upon other Americans by corrupting their religion's words and beliefs to meet their own, most notably the Ku Klux Klan. But this is only a small population of a much larger group, and I would venture to say that when most Americans think of Christianity, we do not first think of the KKK.

We want a revolution

By Phil Kijak · Friday, Sept. 12,2003 1:06 a.m.

I've spent a better part of this week reflecting on where we were exactly two years ago; how afraid we were and how confused. We were thrust into a dynamic change that made us question our own definitions to seek out new meanings. Our sense of stability fell with the Twin Towers, and in those ensuing weeks, we were poised to set off a period in our history that rivaled those of our grandparents during World War II -- a period that celebrated unity in order to overcome a known evil. But where did it all go wrong?

Copy woes hit campus

By Alyson Brodsy · Friday, Sept. 12,2003 1:03 a.m.

Time is an important aspect of the student's lifestyle. The benefit of having books and course packets in the first place enable the student to have his or her materials ordered, styled and collated for convenience. Time is spent reading, not gathering texts. Yet due to the recent crackdown on copyright infringement that followed the Collegiate Copies lawsuit, all that has changed.

Saturday classes? IU says not yet

By Alli Stolper · Thursday, Sept. 11,2003 2:01 a.m.

Rumors that IU will enact 7:30 a.m. classes and classes on Saturday next year aren't true -- yet. The Wall Street Journal published an article Aug. 29 entitled, "Giving Fridays some class." The story, by Elizabeth Bernstein, noted that IU was considering 7:30 a.m. and Saturday classes. While these changes will not begin in 2004, the schedule changes may occur in the future in order to open up more classroom space, the Office of the Registrar said. A combination of factors, including rising enrollment and trends toward smaller class sizes and a four-day teaching week are straining IU to find space for all its classes, said IU Registrar Roland Coté.
