‘F’N’ TV station

·

When it comes to the never-ending battle of content versus decency in the media, the Indiana Daily Student takes more than its fair share of campus outrage. From student groups upset about how they’re being represented to angry local politicians with a chip on their shoulders, on any given day there is at least one angry person that attempts to set fire to Ernie Pyle Hall. The management has, on occasion, even been known to sleep in the newsroom for fear that they won’t make it to their cars, beaten brutally and left for dead. Fortunately the staff is protected from the ire of the outside world by an impregnable shield known as the First Amendment.

Calm before the storm

Eighteen-year-old Eric Gordon stands to the side of the court at Freedom Hall in Louisville, Ky. His face drips with sweat, yet he’s completely relaxed. A barrage of young fans, armed with posters, photos and Sharpies, frantically pushes its way toward the teenager. He’s the calm before the storm. Eric just got done playing in the McDonald’s All American Game, a nationally televised showcase of the most talented high school senior basketball players in the country.
