The struggle of the straight man

·

I am a white male, and to make matters worse for me, despite a shocking lack of evidence for a man my age, I am straight. Being a straight white male isn't easy these days. Time was, we were the scourge of mankind, we could repress and pillage at a whim. Now, I'm lucky if I can kick a puppy without ending up in court.

From Ballantine to the Beltway

·

I'm waging a war with Washington. I grew up under the cloud of smog produced by the steel mills in Northwest Indiana. My lungs conformed to the industrial aura, and I grew to love the local ghost stories, back roads and blizzards. I could navigate Chicago without a map by the age of 12 and came to appreciate Carl Sandburg's Chicago poetry.

Higher education should be a priority

If Gov. Frank O'Bannon's Jan. 8 budget proposal passes through Indiana's state legislature, funds given to Indiana's public colleges will be frozen. This is unfortunate for students, faculty and administrators alike. The obvious negative consequences of freezing spending, including large tuition increases and cost cutting, will hurt the University as a whole. In addition, this sends a clear message to Indiana's institutions of higher education -- a message that they are not at the top of the state's priority list.
