B-N's first 'smart fortwo' car hits streets

McDaniel is smiling, too.After a nearly yearlong wait, he has the Twin Cities' first “smart fortwo" car. He picked it up in St. Louis on Monday and spent most of the day Tuesday showing it off to friends and co-workers.“I think it's great," said John Rediger, heating and air conditioning supervisor at Country Insurance. “I think it's absolutely fantastic. It's got plenty of room."You wouldn't guess it from the outside. The car, which only measures 8.8 feet long, 5.1 feet tall and 5.1 feet wide, takes up only half a parking space.“It only looks small from the outside," McDaniel said. “It's half of car. It has three cylinders instead of six and weighs 1,700 pounds instead of 3,400."That leads to decent gas mileage — 41 miles per gallon on the highway and 33 miles per gallon in town. (It uses premium gasoline.)“It has an 8-gallon tank, and I had 200 miles on it and still had half of tank of gas," McDaniel said.It's also ecologically friendly.The smart fortwo, produced in France by smart, a subsidiary of Daimler-Benz AG, is painted with water-soluble paints.

Women’s Center demands policy overhaul, rebuke

While I'm not sure I agree with all of the reported recommendations (particularly the part about Zeta Psi members going before ExComm), this is certainly a more appropriate and useful response to the incident than the initial "This time we sue!" outcry followed by the outright insulting and counterproductive "You're either with us or you're for rape!" (and, to be fair, the opposite "You silly bitches need to lighten up!") rhetoric that followed it on these and other pages.

However, I am willing to do for the Women's Center what they seem unwilling to do in regards to the Zeta Psi members involved: forgive them for their hot-headed moment of stupidity and inappropriateness and rightfully acknowledge the fact that they're taking substantive (if, in my personal opinion, somewhat misguided) steps to improve campus life for women.

Almost $9,000 in snow-related tickets issued in Twin Cities

NORMAL — Normal's two parking enforcement officers wrote 322 tickets in a single shift because of a snow-related parking ban Friday morning, police said.Bloomington officers wrote about 45 tickets — at $50 each — because of the snow and also towed several vehicles.Normal Police Lt. Mark Kotte said the two officers with his department wrote the tickets during the combined 15 hours of their shifts. That means each of the officers wrote, on average, a $20 parking ticket once every 2.8 minutes.If everyone ticketed between the two departments were to pay up, it'd bring in $8,690.Kotte said he didn't think anyone was towed in connection with the ban on all on-street parking, which was scheduled to be in effect until midnight Friday night. People are allowed to park in town parks, such as Ash, Fairview and Underwood parks, when the area is expecting heavy snow, he said.Bloomington police spokesman Dave White said police issued the 45 tickets during the city's overnight ban on parking along designated snow routes, which was lifted at 9:30 a.m.
