What's in a number?

By Jacob Stewart · Monday, Oct. 29,2007 10:48 p.m.

Hoosier sports fans have had a great deal of math to do lately. The IU football team needs six wins to become bowl eligible and has five. The IU men’s basketball team came out ranked ninth in the preseason ESPN/USA Today poll and was picked to finish second in the conference at this weekend’s Big Ten Media Day in Chicago. The men’s soccer team is ranked 11th nationally. Hopes are high for the IU wrestling team, as it is ranked 15th in the preseason. That’s a lot of digits.

Rules of survival

By David Weisburd · Monday, Oct. 29,2007 10:02 p.m.

The last two weeks have been tough. Very tough. My worst nightmare came true when I got a call from our largest partner. After receiving pressure from top competitors, he had decided to drop my ticket brokering company. The majority of my business was gone; I had experienced a colossal failure.

Climbing the business ladder

By Heather Haemker · Monday, Oct. 29,2007 10 p.m.

A profession in business used to primarily be a career for men, but with the economy constantly changing, more women are beginning business-related careers. Though women are still a minority in the field, IU’s Women in Business club is working to change that.

Nourishment for your workout

By Allison Hendricks · Monday, Oct. 29,2007 9:44 p.m.

Although we all love eating, there is another side of being healthy besides making good food choices: exercise. I wish we all had the metabolism of those girls walking around in their leggings while chugging whipped-up Starbucks Frappuccinos (which are not good for you, by the way – steer clear), but most of us are not so lucky.

Too soon to study abroad

Monday, Oct. 29,2007 7:08 p.m.

Freshman year can be a difficult but incredible experience. Although some certainly adjust better than others, most freshmen are able to get to know their school and the people in it pretty well. Imagine, however, if this adjustment had to take place during someone’s sophomore year. As more universities are sending students abroad in their first year it seems it will be the fate of more and more freshmen to spend a year enrolled in a university without really knowing how it fits them.

Counsel from camp

By Mike Abrams · Monday, Oct. 29,2007 7:05 p.m.

It’s one great week. No, it is not Little 500 week. It’s not Welcome week. It is not the week of Hanukkah or the first week of summer. It’s not even a full week. Rather, it is five great days, and it happens in a little place called Morgantown. This is the week of camp for all the people involved with Camp Kesem – a free, week-long camp for kids whose parents have or have had cancer. It is a week away from the difficulties at home, and it gives these kids a chance to be just that: kids.

Fearless joy

By Grace Low · Monday, Oct. 29,2007 7 p.m.

In the hustle-bustle competitive existence of academia, it’s vitally important to enjoy the simple things. Taking time to smell the roses isn’t just a kitschy cliche; it’s essential to a joyful existence. An impromptu coffee date with an old friend, a pre-class Runcible Spoon breakfast, a deep breath of crisp fall air. These are the things that keep me going in the midst of personal disasters and unbearable class stress. They remind me that things are honestly not that bad.

What not to wear

By Scott Leadingham · Monday, Oct. 29,2007 6:59 p.m.

The students in the class for which I am a teaching assistant asked me a rather interesting question: Why is J.K. Rowling’s Dumbledore character gay? After an awkward explanation of the birds and the bees, we moved forward with more relevant inquiries to the world of public affairs, such as why Sen. Larry Craig is gay?
