____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>News that the Huffington Post would be purchased by AOL for $315 million traveled fast, almost as fast as my interest in the site disappeared. I’ve been reading the Huffington Post for the better part of two years now, and the thing I loved most was the blog’s off-the-cuff, freewheeling style. It wasn’t really journalism; it was just a great place to find an interesting story. The site has an obvious liberal bias, but I probably found and read more stories about popular science and culture on the site than I did political articles. It was an excellent place to find interesting stuff. It wasn’t the highest form of journalism, but it was informative and enjoyable.Yet, I’m writing about it in the past tense. The site still lives, but it’s dead to me. By selling itself to AOL, the HuffPost has given up its mantle as king of maverick media. Obviously the site came into existence because of big money. Arrian Huffington wasn’t a company, and the site’s attitude reflected that. It was disjointed and rough. Sometimes it was blatant liberal propaganda and you could see that, but it was lively and fresh. It was the first mega-blog site to rival its print and broadcast competitors and that’s something.Now AOL, the king of the Internet dustbin, has used 40 percent ($315 million) of its cash to purchase the Huffington Post, a blog that makes $10 million a year. More than just being angry about the change of leadership, I’m upset that Arianna Huffington would take the deal in the first place. It’s not like the Huffington Post was a startup with no money. Huffington is on the Cleveland Show for crying out loud; she’s got plenty of money.When I read the HuffPost, there was an implication that I was reading something radical and untamed, something so very un-corporate. When I read that AOL had purchased the Huffington Post, I felt betrayed. I wanted to intern at the HuffPost, and now I’m not sure if I’d be getting the experience I wanted there. In an interview about the merger, AOL CEO Tim Armstrong called AOL “the anti-corporation.” Based on the recent New Yorker article that revealed 75 percent of AOL customers are continuing to pay for dial-up when they have no need for it, AOL sounds pretty corporate. The HuffPost ran so many stories that exposed corporations, I can’t imagine the AOL masters would be too happy with that. Without the edge and the sass, the HuffPost would be just another blog, and to Armstrong, the HuffPost is just going to be page views and cash flow.We’ll try to remember you for the things you were, HuffPost, and not the sad husk of your former self you’ll soon become.E-mail: thommill@indiana.edu

____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>This week marked the start of one of my favorite parts of spring semester: IUSA elections. It’s not that I enjoy them, or even that I usually vote in them, but they provide an almost limitless supply of entertainment. What will kids who desire a title do to convince the rest of us to care? Last year we got a kid dressed up like a leprechaun with a megaphone outside of Ballantine. I can only hope that Btown United is going to have a gang of soccer hooligans roaming the streets on Election Day.I jest, but in my mind, IUSA is about giving the student body an advocate, a lobby if you will, and we haven’t really been getting that from our elected leaders. Our student government could take a stance in support of political issues related to students: Where was IUSA during the satellite voting fiasco? Isn’t it in the student body’s best interest to have voting available on campus? This is what I want to see: No more student body president-led executive branch and a real attempt at lobbying for students. Barrett Tenbarge was able to travel to D.C. and lobby to get a presidential debate at IU. Would it have been to much to ask him to say “IU students really support student loan reform” or “Thanks for letting us stay on our parents’ health care until we’re 26”? While controversial, these laws were made with students in mind and IUSA should be at least talking about legal matters that directly affect its constituents.As for getting rid of student body president, it’s just outdated. This year has been a bad example of the kind of strive that can emerge between the executive branch and its sister branches. What good did the student body gain from the power struggle over who could be an IUSA supreme court justice? We should trash the current system, which wouldn’t be hard since the IUSA bylaws and constitution are vague and unclear, and make a new IUSA that does nothing but push for student advocacy and innovation.E-mail: thommill@indiana.edu

____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>It all started with an outburst in a classroom at a community college.After the heinous assassination attempt on Congresswoman Gabriel Giffords, D-Ariz., the media attempted to plot out how 22-year-old Jared Loughner went from weirdo to murderer. A step in that journey was getting kicked out of Pima County Community College for several in-class outbursts. That step has been replayed over and over on television, and in the wake of a Brooklyn College student being committed against her will by her school, it’s clear that students are living in a complicated time to be on campus. Because of Loughner’s social media savvy some have called for colleges to monitor their students’ social networking sites. This is a bad idea. No matter how much Facebook stalking the administration does, mental health can’t be monitored from afar.Imagine I post “I’m going to kill my professor lol.” Should I visit CAPS? What about “I’m going to stab my professor 57 times”? It’s more descriptive, and maybe that’s an indicator of my seriousness or maybe it’s nothing. For an academic administration to try and piece together the mental health of their student body based on the inane internet musings they post on Facebook is not only a threat to our student rights, it assumes that students wear their well-being on their sleeve. Last year IU junior Greg Willoughby committed suicide. Seven days later, somebody found him. There was no Facebook message, no YouTube ramblings, only the untimely death of one our best. I don’t know if anything could have been done to stop Willoughby from taking his own life, but monitoring his Facebook wouldn’t have given us a clue as to what he was going through. Few people lash out like Loughner did in his classroom. The stress of being a student is something everyone understands, but something most of us deal with on a personal level. Instead of pushing for colleges that can commit their students or monitor their social networking sites, we should be doing our best to create a less stressed academic environment. In high school my French teacher told me there was no direct translation for the word “stress,” it was a purely American creation. Wouldn’t we perform better in class if we weren’t worried about the lifelong consequences of every class, of every test, of every grade? Monitoring our web lives is a weak answer to the problem. We should be changing the environment in which we study. Students need less pressure and more understanding. I have a hard enough time explaining my life to my mother. I can only imagine how poorly IU could judge my mental health based on Facebook.E-mail: thommill@indiana.edu
