Still buzzing after Yo-Yo Ma interludes at Purdue. New projections on Third/Fourth street two-way conversions. Prosecutor pushes back on defense effort to take jurors to Delphi murder scene. And more
Once 4th Street is available two ways, I encourage everyone to use it as a joyful alternative to South 9th Street. Experience your heart leaping with joy as you drive on 4th Street. Find a sense of peace driving on South 4th Street. Why continue to use South 9th, which gets so congested at Teal and backs up for blocks and blocks? 4th Street is indeed your ticket to JOY!
Oh, I wouldn't be so hasty getting so close to the river. Those of us to the west of 9th street are a shifty bunch - really erratic drivers, if I'm honest. While we're well suited to the desolation of 4th street, it's not for everyone. For example, if a 9th streeter gets dysentery, it might be quite some time until help arrives on 4th street.
I very much hope that the academic leaders of Purdue were in the audience for Ma's discussion, because so often the leadership of Purdue treats everything that is not engineering or comp sci as disposable and superfluous. Humanities, arts, social sciences, these are all essential components of a university education and they do matter. They matter in a practical sense (you can't make things that matter for a global audience if you don't bother to learn about people and society and cultures), but they also matter in our growth as human beings, our ability to engage with ideas, our search for meaning. What a beautiful personal story on his part.
"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.
To quote from Whitman, 'O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?" Answer. That you are here - that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play *goes on* and you may contribute a verse.' What will your verse be?"

It's like they never saw "Dead Poet's Society."

Any updates on the possibility of a vote center at Purdue on election day?
Since Friday? No.
