A misguided prescription

Monday, July 7,2008 2:49 p.m.

In June, an Indiana think tank introduced a plan intended to encourage more Hispanics to pursue higher education. While this may seem like something that is good for the Hispanic community, it has raised no small amount of controversy.

Punk is dead, and Emo should be next

By Cory Barker · Monday, July 7,2008 10:59 a.m.

With the punk/emo genre becoming more immersed in the mainstream over the past few years, it has been expected to see the so-called “scene” itself changing. In the last three or four years, the atmosphere within the emo scene has morphed dramatically, and sadly, not for the better.

By Deanna Krinn · Sunday, July 6,2008 8:31 p.m.

Hundreds of people every summer travel to Lake Monroe for boating, swimming, fishing and other outdoor activities. However, despite how harmless these activities may seem, a certain level of danger is still involved.

An unbiased, unadulterated All-Star team

By Ben Homrig · Sunday, July 6,2008 7:43 p.m.

At the time this column was scribed, the American and National League All-Star teams had not yet been announced. The difference between my opinion and what will really happen is the lack of Yankees on the list. It’s inevitable, especially since this year’s game will be played in the Bronx, that about 12 Yankees and Red Sox will make the team. But in reality these two teams are in second (BOS) and third (NYY) in the AL East. Where’s the Tampa love? (None here.)

By IDS staff and Aaron Beard · Sunday, July 6,2008 7:41 p.m.

As if a second place finish at the NCAA Championships and a final round appearance at the British Amateur Championships weren’t enough, senior Jorge Campillo added another trophy to his mantel June 27 when he helped lead Team Europe to a Palmer Cup victory over the United States in Glasgow, Scotland.

Concert lacked life in the house

By Deanna Krinn · Sunday, July 6,2008 5:54 p.m.

If someone were to throw a high-school dance, a wedding reception and a viewing party of “Desperate Housewives” into a giant mixing bowl, the result would probably be the Lifehouse concert Thursday night at The Bluebird.

Summer of Schadenfreude

By Erich Reinhard · Sunday, July 6,2008 3:28 p.m.

As orientation reaches its peak and the Class of 2012 starts gagging on the campus literature that’s being perfunctorily crammed down their throats, my feelings drift between pity and “Schadenfreude,” the German word for finding mirth in other people’s misfortunes. I’m not proud of it. It’s just a wretched impulse that seizes me when I walk past all those misty-eyed, pasty-faced “pre-frosh” on my way to work, flitting and gibbering at the heels of their parents. They thought they were ready for college, I chortle to myself. But all they’re ready for are the forces of fate that will soon swallow them whole. How will they be swallowed whole? And why? These are serious questions.

Optimism at its best

By Rob Bermingham · Sunday, July 6,2008 3:26 p.m.

The day after my glorious and all-important birthday this July, my tonsils will be taken out. Why? I’m not really sure. But it has something to do with impressive words like “peritonsillar,” reoccurring symptoms and possibly reacquainting myself with the most agonizing pain I’ve experienced in my life if I don’t. So now I get to be knocked out and put under the knife.
