Anglo-reality

By Abby Schwimmer and Ab Schwimmer · Sunday, July 29,2007 3:58 p.m.

SALAMANCA, Spain – Never before in my life have I been as jealous of a 6-year-old as I am now of my Spanish host family’s daughter. Sometimes at dinner, when “Rosita” is whining about not wanting to eat her peas, I will hear her throw in a Spanish word conjugated perfectly in the subjunctive mood without even pausing to think about it.

Born country

By Jacob Stewart and Jake Stewart · Sunday, July 29,2007 3:57 p.m.

I‘ve lived in or near two Indiana cities in my life: Lafayette and Bloomington. Both cities provide an aspect of our home state that isn’t necessarily representative.

By Edward Delp · Sunday, July 29,2007 3:56 p.m.

Last week, the battle for academic freedom took an interesting turn. The University of Colorado Board of Regents voted 8-1 to fire Professor Ward Churchill. A committee concluded he had engaged in research misconduct that included fabrication, falsification, improper citation and plagiarism.

Banking on a BA

Sunday, July 29,2007 3:54 p.m.

It’s no secret that Kelley students think oh-so-highly of themselves, nor is it any secret that the University’s liberal arts students consider them money-grubbing consumerist whores (or so it’s rumored), but do the differences in expected salaries make these common misconceptions true?

By Alyson Brodsy · Friday, July 27,2007 10:08 a.m.

Researchers at IU’s School of Medicine may have discovered a way to cure testicular cancer in patients who do not respond to initial chemotherapy, according to a report in the New England Journal of Medicine.

The Simpsons

Simpson Edumacation

By Brian J. McFillen · Thursday, July 26,2007 12 a.m.

But despite the admonishment of the genius mind behind Flaming Moes, moon waffles and Skittlebrau, academics have sought to probe into what lies behind "The Simpsons" -- the show's significance, that is, not Homer's crack.

'This things I believe': WEEKEND's favorite Simpsons video games

By Chris Freiberg · Thursday, July 26,2007 12 a.m.

Though it's taken nearly two decades for the Simpson family to hit the big screen, Springfield's favorite family has had a strong presence in the world of video gaming since the days of the NES. Unfortunately, there is an unmistakable cone of suckiness surrounding most of these games. Still, the following three games are perfectly cromulent pieces of Simpsons software.

IU junior Lance Stemler drives around two Michigan State defenders Saturday night at Michigan State. Stemler had 7 points against the Spartans in the 66-58 loss, just above his season average of 6.9 points per game. The Hoosiers play at Northwestern tonight in what is a crucial game to determine the final Big Ten standings for the Hoosiers.

The Simpsons are going to caricatures

By Zack Teibloom and Joe Livarchik and Matt Mattucci · Thursday, July 26,2007 12 a.m.

In the past few years, they've replaced rich dialogue with an overdose of cameos and the horrifically repetitive "The Simpsons are going to ... (Africa, South America, England, Tokyo, Scottsdale)" bit. They went from being fresh and edgy counterculture comedy that scared your mom to caricatures of themselves.

By Zack T Bloom and Ken Kusmer · Thursday, July 26,2007 12 a.m.

Don't be fooled, it's just Fruit Loops inside the Krusty O's box, but holding that sweet, sweet packaging you'll recognize "The Simpsons Movie" as the biggest promotion of the summer.
