Looking good on paper

By Elisha Sauers · Sunday, May 8,2005 9:05 p.m.

Three days. 72 precious hours of freedom. That's all summer session I students and professors have between finishing a grueling week of finals and starting a new assortment of classes. Despite the rapid turnaround, summer session I still has higher enrollment than session II, according to Monica Halcomb, who works with the data management department at the Registrar's Office. Both sessions offer a variety of classes and provide students with an opportunity to catch up, get ahead, or retake classes to improve their grades.

One IU starts over

By Kye Lee · Sunday, May 8,2005 8:56 p.m.

When IU underwent an administrative reconstruction period many years ago, several offices and positions were eliminated. One of the cuts made was current political science professor Larry Hanks' position as administrator and director of One IU, a student organization which focuses on race and diversity issues.

That's the thinking behind two scholarships in Comiskey's daughter Kate's name that were awarded this weekend. Kate, who was an English teacher at Indian Creek High School, was killed in a car accident last November.
