COLUMN: Women get a consolation prize on Equal Pay Day

By Maggie Eickhoff · Wednesday, April 13,2016 9:13 p.m.

The second United States memorial dedicated specifically to women was made official on this year’s Equal Pay Day, April 12. The Atlantic reports that the site is the newly renamed Belmont-Paul Women’s Equality National Monument.

EDITORIAL: Panama Papers are a bigger deal than you think

By Editorial Board · Tuesday, April 12,2016 10:24 p.m.

If you haven’t heard of the Panama Papers or don’t know what they mean, then you’ve seriously misjudged the gravity of the situation. You see, it turns out that the stereotypical trope of rich people hiding away all of their money in a “Swiss bank account” is actually true, except the accounts happen to be in Panama. The world’s richest and most powerful people “invest” their money in fake business in order to avoid taxation.

Letter: Response to Therin Showalter

By David A. Crum · Tuesday, April 12,2016 10:17 p.m.

Dear Therin, I read the article, “Modern American Christians ...,” and appreciated the challenge to show equal concern for all sin, not just sexual sin.

COLUMN: The American Dream

By Jacob Worrell · Tuesday, April 12,2016 10:17 p.m.

I was browsing Scientific American magazine recently and came across an article with some interesting parallels to a few points I made in an opinion column earlier this year, "On the decline of American Idealism".

COLUMN: Cashing in on prized athletes is a two way street

By Daniel Kilcullen · Tuesday, April 12,2016 10:15 p.m.

When high school phenomenon Thon Maker announced last week that he would enter the 2016 NBA Draft, IU basketball fans’ were forced to accept the reality of what they feared all along. Maker, a seven-foot tall player with the agility of a point guard, couldn't forego a seven-figure salary and more in sponsorship deals to attend a school like IU to work towards a degree that he will likely never need.

Letter: SB No. 35

By Victoria Gee · Tuesday, April 12,2016 10:14 p.m.

I’ve recently learned about a bill that is waiting to be passed senate bill 35. I don’t think that anyone should support it because it is simply ridiculous to monitor the restroom use of others.  This bill states that it would prevent transgender from using the same restroom as the one they identify with.

Letter: IN Senate Bill 35

By Jamie Johanson · Tuesday, April 12,2016 10:13 p.m.

As a young Christian seeking to define my identity, I have never identified myself as an LGBT activists.  I have, however; identified myself as one that rejects mistreatment, injustice, and hate.

Letter: Let’s Talk About Sex, Baby!

By Jasmine Knowles · Tuesday, April 12,2016 10:12 p.m.

Or perhaps let’s talk about rape, because well, they are different. Since it is Sexual Assault Awareness month, and colleges across the country are attempting to exude a Culture of Care, I want to weigh in on the topic.

Letter: Pay to pee Bill

By Haley Hawkins · Tuesday, April 12,2016 10:12 p.m.

I really need to know why Indiana legislators are so worried about who poops next to who? With everything else going on in our world, like perhaps the fact that Donald Trump may become president, I feel like who we poop beside does not need to be regulated. It is sad that I now feel very fortunate to have always been given the opportunity to use the restroom that I identify with, without any threat of facing charges for my choice.

COLUMN: GOP have to give their people what they want

By Therin Showalter · Monday, April 11,2016 9:48 p.m.

I've written fairly extensively about the possibility of a brokered convention for the Republican Party this July. Given the fact that Trump would have to collect 55 percent of the remaining delegates in order to secure the nomination, I'm actually quite certain a brokered convention is going to happen.

Former President Ronald Reagan’s name has become almost synonymous with the Republican party. In September 2015, his name was mentioned 45 times in the second Republican debate.
