An overrated legacy

By Erich Reinhard · Monday, June 30,2008 1:52 p.m.

Charlton Heston most certainly isn’t rolling in his grave. If anything, his cold dead hands have temporarily come back to life and tightened their grip on the antique rifle he’s no doubt entombed with in a posthumous victory.

By Jessica Hullinger · Monday, June 30,2008 11:13 a.m.

Any immediate disadvantage of IU Director of Athletics Rick Greenspan’s resignation would be worth it, said Murray Sperber, a former IU English and American studies professor and author of seven books on college sports.

As new cadets in the IU Police Department Police Academy go through classroom instruction, they learn how to do everything by the books.

By Chris Engel · Sunday, June 29,2008 8:38 p.m.

Though he hired several coaches and set the foundation for major facilities upgrades as IU’s director of athletics, Rick Greenspan will likely be remembered for the hiring of former basketball coach Kelvin Sampson and the pending NCAA allegations against the University.

Love and Facebook

By Julia Boriss · Sunday, June 29,2008 5:59 p.m.

That being said, I find it highly likely that come November I will cast my ballot for Barack Obama. Given the liberal skew of our age demographic and the activity I have seen around campus, I doubt I will be alone.

No love for "Guru"

For comedy lovers, the last two weekends have been plagued by sadness, as “The Love Guru” and “Get Smart” reminded viewers of all that is wrong with American comedies. Now don’t get me wrong – there is definitely a place for ridiculous movies.

Goodbye, Greenspan

Sunday, June 29,2008 5:56 p.m.

We expected it, but not like this. After the first report of former basketball coach Kelvin Sampson’s recruiting infractions and the resulting wave of controversy, many wished Director of Athletics Rick Greenspan would resign as well. But he weathered the storm and its initial fury, only to make it to a point in the time line of the scandal relatively tame in comparison to what preceded it.
