Meaningless fact Sun, 6 Jul 2008 06:21:01 -0500
ERIC TULL WATERLOO —UNI’s Professor Thomas Thompson wrote a column in which he said the number of liberal professors to conservative is comparable. He wrote, "Folks have been known to worry that university faculty members are all too liberal. I’m not so sure about that, since I’ve known some faculty conservatives …" Professor Thompson is not providing evidence; he is providing an anecdote. Using his logic, I could say, "Many people think there are more right-handed people than left-handed, but I’ve known some people who are left-handed. Therefore, there’s about an equal number of left-handed and right-handed people." Obviously, this is false. What is needed to find the truth about the percentage of liberal to conservative faculty is a true scientific study.

New research building a waste Sun, 6 Jul 2008 06:21:01 -0500
EDNA BRUNKHORST WAVERLY — There is serious trouble in Iowa City and in the State University of Iowa with so much flood damage and especially to the buildings which house the arts which will either have to be repaired or replaced or even moved to a higher location. Yet, the Governor ignored a ban on embryonic stem cell research and the Iowa Legislature approved funding for the erection of a new building for just such research and it will be interesting to see just where this project will go. There is just so much money and students will not be happy with another increase in tuition and the taxpayers will not be very happy with another increase in our taxes.
