Feb. 16, two dozen American and British warplanes fired upon Iraqi air defense targets to, in President George W. Bush's words, "make sure that the world is as peaceful as possible." In an effort to make Iraqi president Saddam Hussein less volatile towards the rest of the world, Bush has done the exact opposite.

Hey Supernova, make me notice you

By Brian Longly · Tuesday, Feb. 27,2001 10:52 p.m.

Our new IU Student Association government was officially announced this week, with the winner being the Supernova party. Thankfully, our election didn't encounter the same problems the presidential election did in Florida, but then again, none of the candidate's brothers were in charge of the ballot counting.

Media should focus on real news

By James Boyd · Tuesday, Feb. 27,2001 10:50 p.m.

What do a white rapper, a gay pop star and a famous race car driver all have in common? No, it's not the guest list for the annual Trailer Park Awards. Rather, all three have recently been in the spotlight a little too long.

More than books

By Mercedes Rodriguez · Tuesday, Feb. 27,2001 9:48 p.m.

Outside the swirl of activity surrounding the Secret Sailor bookstore, a group of young people are talking, sharing a big cookie among themselves. On a typical Thursday night such as this, visitors to the bookstore can walk in on a Bloomington Anarchist Black Cross meeting. Participants sit in a circle on old chairs and a beat-up couch. Some are petting John Henry Tofu, a fat black cat with white paws and facial markings. The counter is littered with stickers promoting various bands. The walls are covered in posters, some of them homemade.

Senior finds success away from home

By Greg Jenkins · Tuesday, Feb. 27,2001 1:46 a.m.

Much can change in four years. Senior Milan Rakvica can vouch for that. Four years ago, Rakvica was in the Czech Republic studying at a local university. Looking to study elsewhere, he spoke with friend and fellow tennis player, Ondrej Holik, who had just been hired as an assistant coach with IU's men's tennis team. Holik, from the same town as Rakvica, brought his prospect to coach Ken Hydinger.

Edwards not a loser, columns intelligent and entertaining

By Ru Bethke · Tuesday, Feb. 27,2001 12:37 a.m.

This message is in response to Chris Edwards' column "Losers of the world unite" (Feb. 20). I would just like to bring to your attention that there is at least one person out here who thinks that you are not a loser. During this year, I have become quite a fan of your columns on the opinion page and feel that you should write more often.

By Eddie Fujawa · Tuesday, Feb. 27,2001 12:35 a.m.
