Stand up, stop silence

There's another shirt for next year's Clothesline Project, unfortunately. Just days after students, faculty, administrators, and community members marched through campus in support of women's rights, another woman reported she had her's stripped.

Artistic progression shown on 'GHV2'

Madonna's GHV2 or Greatest Hits Volume 2, speaks for itself. After summing up her '80s career so well with The Immaculate Collection in 1990, a decade later GHV2 sums up the her career in '90s just as accurately. Whereas The Immaculate Collection is a bit of a shallow ride through '80s pop music at its best, GHV2 shows the remarkable growth of Madonna as an artist and a person.

Bloomington IN THE DARK

Suze has had a long night. She's been waiting tables at the Waffle House for nearly four hours now, and the night's just starting to pick up. She's doing her own bussing and putting in orders, pausing to help the restaurant's sole cook when she can. She's hoping business will die down so she can take a breather. But the possibilities of such luck are slim. A gaggle of well-dressed, polished and hairsprayed young women sits down at a center table. They're ready for their drink order, but Suze hasn't gotten to them yet.

Roadrunners repeat top finish in women's race

Jenn Wangerin did it again. Last year, the junior took the Roadrunners' final exchange and led her team to victory. This year was no different. With 20 laps to go, Wangerin took the bike and kept near the front of the pack.

Parking fraud out of operation

If not already, those who wish to park in an on-campus garage will find something new when they pull in. Since June 17, IU Parking Operations has been utilizing a new swipe system -- a yellow box through which patrons must run their parking permits in order to enter and exit the four garages: Poplars, 11th and Fee, Jordan and Atwater.

Depth players lead team to wins

Saturday night, there weren't many smiles bigger than that of Hoosier center Rhys Anderson. It wasn't just that he had picked up a goal and an assist for his first multipoint game of the season. It wasn't just that he had done so against IU's biggest rival, Michigan State. It wasn't just that his efforts helped result in a 4-1 victory for the Hoosiers (6-2).

IU political leaders react

The heated Washington debate of weeks past -- on issues ranging from Arctic drilling to social security -- was set aside last Tuesday in the face of the deadliest terrorist attack in United States history. The millions of Americans glued in shock and horror to their TVs following the attack witnessed members of Congress, standing together on the Capitol steps, singing "God Bless America."

Anti-Taliban fighters disadvantaged by ethnic divisions, inadequate equipment

DAHAN-I-MAIDAN, Afghanistan -- Sitting behind sandbags on a rooftop just yards from the Taliban, a front-line opposition commander complains that his men haven't received their salaries in six months.

Let kids learn the hard way

My mother lives 456.38 miles from my doorstep. Not bad when you are going Delta, even though there are no direct flights, but it's hell after six hours through the entire, flat, morbid Bluegrass State.

City in the wrong for buying theatre

Last Wednesday, the Bloomington City Council approved a measure to give a $600,000 subsidy to the financially unstable Buskirk-Chumley Theatre. Those funds are part of a $1.2 million city acquisition of the theater, a Bloomington landmark.

The undermining of America's will

A few months ago, Senators Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.) ensured passage of a long-awaited campaign finance reform bill. The bill, now a law, seeks to eliminate corruptive soft money from the federal election process. At the time, it seemed as if the will of the people had won after years of struggle and federal elections were finally to be rid of hundreds of millions of dirty soft money dollars. Now, it appears those hopes were premature.

Welcome reception highly attended

Many say IU is well known for its multicultural atmosphere, and the Asian Culture Center is one of many programs that exemplifies this. Wednesday, more than 100 people gathered on the front lawn and inside the center for a welcoming reception that featured student information tables and an introduction of the staff members. Chinese food catered by China Buffet also created a festive atmosphere.

Jazz saxophonist brings Buskirk audience to its feet

Final bunches of people struggled to fill the last few empty chairs Saturday as the lights started to dim in the Buskirk-Chumley Theatre. A drum set sat anxiously waiting for Brian Blade's sticks. Not far away, a Hammond B3 organ, Fender Rhode piano and keyboard stood empty for Sam Yahel to take a seat at each of them throughout the night. Off to the side sat soprano and baritone saxophones on their sturdy stands. Between the drums and pianos was nothing but an empty patch of stage. Soon after, Yahel and Blade took their seats at their respective instruments. Finally, with a welcoming applause, Joshua Redman took the stage. As he picked up his baritone sax, the three jazz artists began playing.

Letters to the editor

Ben Piper wrote a column Jan. 7 suggesting that deregulation failed in California because of excessive environmental restraints and that Texas is a model example and a success story for deregulation of electric utilities. While his argument may seem compelling, further examination of his points suggests that his conclusions may need re-evaluation, especially with respect to the State of Indiana.
