EDITORIAL: Moose on the Loose

By Editorial Board · Thursday, April 7,2016 7:09 p.m.

It’s a sad day when a student can’t get their fix of Chocolate Moose. And it might be a sad semester for many of us now that the building will be temporarily closed down.  The Chocolate Moose will be closing down and rebuilt to a new four-story building, according to store owner Justin Loveless.  The Editorial Board is saddened by this news, but we hope the new restaurant will be better for giving students their ice cream.

EDITORIAL: Uneasy acquaintances

By Editorial Board · Wednesday, April 6,2016 8:36 p.m.

One handshake can tell it all. The latest meeting between President Obama and President Raúl Castro began with a bungling of a greeting. The failed handshake between the two leaders showed the uneasiness that still exists between the two nations and the shaky ground that this new relationship will be resting on.

Letter: Pay attention to your surroundings

By Mike Farris · Tuesday, April 5,2016 8:24 p.m.

On Monday, March 28th, I got to meet a young lady driving a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee.  She drove thru a stop sign at 11th and Woodlawn and hit me.  I was driving a Kubota, you’ve seen the orange vehicles driving all over campus.  Mine had lights on and a yellow strobe light on the roof, and has a max speed of 18 mph.  She hit me in the right front wheel and passenger door, pushing me into the oncoming lane, over the curb and stopping 25 feet away on the sidewalk.  It could have been much worse; I could have been flipped, pushed into oncoming traffic or hit a pedestrian standing on the sidewalk.  I’m lucky, just bruised and very sore.  I have no idea why she did not see me, what she was doing or why she didn’t simply stop at the sign that has been there for years.  She said she was going to class, and since we are creatures of habit, she has probably been that way before. My point for all of this is that every day I see students, staff and faculty trying to do too many things at once.  Headphones, earbuds and cell phones are a major problem.  No one pays any attention to their surroundings or safety.  People walk down the middle of streets instead of being on the sidewalk two feet to the left.

I must admit, I am 35 years old and have never voted. I have always believed the system is corrupt, my one vote does not count, and that nothing will change.

By Brigitte Colon · Tuesday, April 5,2016 8:23 p.m.

Bloomington’s Farmer’s Market is a place to buy local food grown by local farmers. Yes, there are special guests but this should not be the focus of this event and this is why I am responding today.
