For a long time, red meat has been one of the many fall guys for most of the health problems of the United States. We knew red meat was higher in saturated fat than other meats. Now, we know that your hotdog is carcinogenic and your hamburger might be too.
Copyright law in the United States is often convoluted and backward. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act is considered by many to be the anathema of the free exchange of ideas that the Internet symbolizes for many. However, a recent court case involving Google reflects one of the exceptional properties of U.S. copyright law — “fair use.”
Do you trust your doctor? Personally, when I go for a checkup, I have to wait around for an hour so I can shake his hand, answer a few questions, then leave. Since I’ve been lucky enough to not need any serious medical attention, I really couldn’t say how much I trust my doctor. Many people, especially in smaller towns with limited healthcare options, see the same physician for years. If I had a personal relationship with a doctor, I’m not sure how often I would try to get a second opinion on some diagnosis or ask anyone else to do the procedure.
Allow me to begin this article by offering my condolences to the families affected by the mind-numbing events of the past two weeks on the campuses of Umpqua Community College, Northern Arizona University and Texas Southern University.

To keep in line with the depressing topics that I have covered in recent columns, I decided that this week would be devoted to one of the results of severe depression: enforced medical leave from a university. Enforced medical leave seems to be a tactic favored by many colleges to ensure that the pressure of college, one of the largest sources of stress in the life of many 18-to-20-something-year-olds, is removed from someone undergoing extreme mental duress. In theory, this provides students who are at risk of harming themselves or others more time and space to attend therapy, address any underlying issues and come back to college a fit individual. While this time is often used in pursuit of treatment, it can be and has been used by universities to prevent students with mental or emotional issues from returning to campus.
Sexual assault and rape have been at the top of college news headlines for decades. Even this past year, IUPD alerted us to a number of on-and off-campus rapes that occurred. However, I can honestly say that I have never heard of even one case of domestic violence that has occurred here at IU, let alone at any college.
This past Saturday, I attended my high school’s graduation as something I had never been before - an alumnus. During my high school career, I played “Pomp and Circumstance” as a member of the band every year (except for when I graduated, of course), so I knew what to expect, for the most part. One of the graduates had snuck me a ticket to the ground floor of the proceedings, so I had the opportunity to sit through the hour-long ceremony with a great view. The experience forced me to reflect on my own high school graduation, from which I am now exactly one year removed, and how high schools are both succeeding and failing to prepare graduates to study at the collegiate level, based on my own experiences.
