Track teams blow past competition

By Ryan Gregg · Monday, April 23,2007 12 a.m.

The task force has now announced its decision: Middle Way House, a Bloomington nonprofit organization helping the victims of rape and domestic violence (among other services), will lose a significant amount of income formally associated with the fund.

Would the person who broke my window with a bottle of Smirnoff Ice please come find me? I’m not mad about the window. I would just like to know why it had to be Smirnoff Ice.

By Linnea Coulter · Monday, April 23,2007 12 a.m.

For the second weekend in a row, the IU men’s soccer team traveled up to Indianapolis to battle not only a tough opponent, but also less-than-ideal playing conditions.

Just four years

By Abra Oliver and Michelle Manchir · Monday, April 23,2007 12 a.m.

I did it in four years. In the summer of 2003 I came to IU; two Bachelor of Arts degrees, 10 pounds and dozens of new friends and acquaintances later, I will graduate. It is important – mostly for my own sense of closure – that I share my most important lessons from college with you readers.

By Shannon McEnerney · Friday, April 20,2007 12 a.m.

When senior Dylan Wickersham took his first diving class, he didn’t know it would lead him to major in underwater archaeology. He also didn’t know that his major, with a little business twist, would make him stick out from all the other hundreds of Little 500 riders in this year’s race.

Partisan parlor tricks

Call me a cynic, but I’m no fan of bipartisanship. Something about Democrats and Republicans working together rubs me the wrong way. So, I was utterly amused to see sidewalk chalking for a “Support the Troops” rally, sponsored by the IU College Democrats and IU College Republicans.
