The $50,000 designated driver

·

I drive an '89, '90 and '92 Chevrolet Cavalier. It's a mutt. The driver's side door is an off-color replacement, due to an incident with a soccer mom scavenging for a Happy Meal toy on the floor of her minivan. Mine is but a small story of automobile horror. I am sure there are many of you with far worse tales of mismatched parts and non-working features. Do not fret fellow students; the IU Student Association is looking out for all of us lemon-owners.

Women deserve reliable care

·

Last week, a federal appeals court reinstated part of a 1995 law requiring women seeking abortions to have in-person counseling with a medical professional at least 18 hours before the procedure. A permanent injunction handed down by U.S. District Court Judge David Hamilton in March 2001 forbid the state of Indiana from enforcing in-person counseling, allowing many clinics to provide information over the phone and through mailed information packets.

Nobel laureate offers view of peace

·

Former Costa Rican President Oscar Arias wore a navy blue tie speckled with rabbits hopping out of magic hats as he spoke to a crowd of more than 200 Monday night in Woodburn Hall. There was nothing supernatural or hocus pocus-like about the nature of his speech, entitled "Peace with Justice for Latin America and the World." But those who heard the Nobel laureate speak, left in awe.

Art adorns students' walls

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- The Miró prints were gone, stripped from the gallery walls. Someone had walked off with the Marc Chagall lithograph, and the Robert Rauschenberg silkscreen was nowhere in sight.

Learning with taste buds

·

A little taste of Bavaria will be available in Bloomington tonight. Scholar's Inn Gourmet Café and Wine Bar will once more allow residents to experience authentic courses and wines based on a selected theme. In honor of Oktoberfest, the feature theme is Germany. Once a month, Scholar's Inn holds a wine-tasting dinner based on varying themes. The entire staff decides the themes, and the chefs have the majority of the input. Past themes include America (in July), Scotland and Chile. The themes are not always nation-based though.

Storms sink search for Behrman

·

The search investigators hoped would find Jill Behrman's body ended Sunday after heavy rains punished two temporary dams built to drain a portion of Salt Creek. Storms Friday afternoon caused torrential rainfall in the watershed area near Salt Creek, weakening a dam that had been built in search of Behrman, an IU student who disappeared while riding her bike in May of 2000. Excess rain from Brown County and the surrounding areas flowed into the creek Friday and Saturday, putting pressure on the north dam.
