Spending has consequences

By Matthew Gorman · Monday, Nov. 30,2009 9:08 p.m.

One could have hoped that a year after the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, brought on by over spending and too much debt, would have been a lasting lesson for Americans. Alas, this does not seem to be the case. However, this Thanksgiving brought unexpected news: Americans are no longer the dumbest spenders in the world.

Leggings are not pants

By Zach Ammerman · Monday, Nov. 30,2009 9:01 p.m.

It’s the holiday season and winter is fast approaching. I think now would be the best time to attempt to teach all of IU’s sorority members a brief but extremely crucial fashion lesson: Leggings, like underwear, are not pants and should never, ever be mistaken for a sufficient covering of your nether regions. They are not, and never will they be, pants.

Not-for-my-bucket list

By John Brown · Monday, Nov. 30,2009 9 p.m.

Black Friday begins the holiday shopping season. And so I’d like to run down my list of things not to buy for Christmas gifts. Or gifts anytime, for that matter. Actually, never buy them. I call it the not-for-my-bucket list. As in, I wouldn’t trade my 10-gallon bucket for any of these items.

Fill up your tank, find some friends, and grab a pad of Mad Libs, because it’s time for an excursion. We’ve hunted down adventures within 30 miles, and we talked to one student who will be driving across the country over winter break. Also, take some advice from one group of cyclists who pedaled from the mountains to the Midwest.

Get a move on

By Joe Jasinski and Alyssa Goldman · Monday, Nov. 30,2009 7:55 p.m.

Ten thousand steps shouldn’t be too much, we thought. Inside gave three people pedometers to check how far they walked in a day. Only one surpassed the recommended number of steps. Oh, and he’s a cross-country runner.

Step Into Fitness encourages IU faculty and staff to move out of their offices and around campus. “People perceive that they don’t have the time to go for a walk,” says Megan Amadeo, who runs the program.

“When I’m a pedestrian, I hate people in cars. When I’m in a car, I hate pedestrians. But no matter whether I’m driving or walking, I hate people on bikes. They drive me nuts. They just come out of nowhere.”  Karin Thomas, senior

By Rachel Stark · Monday, Nov. 30,2009 7:14 p.m.

The lives of IU athletes look a lot like ours: They eat in dining halls, obsess over Xbox, and procrastinate doing homework. Three friends show us how their world isn’t as glamorous as we might think.

By Adam Lukach · Monday, Nov. 30,2009 3:06 p.m.

If you’re wondering what to get your grandmother for Christmas, look no further.
