Laboring away

By Brian J. McFillen · Sunday, Sept. 2,2007 7 p.m.

Today is Labor Day – a day when we reflect upon the accomplishments of the common person, and America’s workers take a much-deserved break from their toils. Around the country, hard-working men and women are grilling burgers or going to sales at K-Mart or, uh, taking advantage of their last opportunity to wear white shoes.

Freshman foolery

By Abby Schwimmer and Ab Schwimmer · Sunday, Sept. 2,2007 6:58 p.m.

Around campus this year, there is a new dynamic between new freshmen and seasoned, campus-savvy upperclassmen. After all the articles and press releases touting the Hoosier class of 2011 as the “smartest … incoming group in the University’s history,” there is a bit of resentment on the part of the sophomore, junior and senior classes toward those we might have previously thought of as “fresh meat.”

Pretty little things

By Colleen Carroll · Sunday, Sept. 2,2007 6:57 p.m.

In the pursuit of distracting myself from the binge eating induced by 17 credit hours, I’ve used three brands of peeling masks in the past 25 minutes. A soak in the tub, a $400 Yves Saint Laurent elixir (my roommate’s internship swag paid off for me) and a taut face don’t seem to be the cure for the oh-crap-LSAT-this-month, and neither does this “liquid cure for lazy abdominals with caffeine” that I just rubbed in a circular motion on my ass for a minute. At least my bum smells like mint now.

Fruits of our Labor Day

Sunday, Sept. 2,2007 6:55 p.m.

Last year, the Bloomington Faculty Council finally voted to institute Labor Day as a holiday in the 2008-2009 academic year. Alas, today our classes on the Bloomington campus continue to meet, while our satellite campuses (and Purdue) frolic, presumably in flower-filled fields flowing with rivers of Rolling Rock.

Princeton Review ranks IU as No. 8 party school

By Natalie Avon · Sunday, Sept. 2,2007 1:24 p.m.

The votes are in and the tallies have been counted: IU’s students (almost) never study. They are too busy being the eighth-best party school with the fifth most amount of hard liquor, which may also be why IU’s students are the 16th-happiest.

Men's soccer to face Nos. 1- and 9-ranked teams this weekend

By DeAntae Prince · Friday, Aug. 31,2007 12:49 a.m.

If faced with two teams ranked in the top nine in the nation in one weekend, many coaches would be scrambling to prepare their team. IU coach Mike Freitag said when the No. 7 Hoosiers take the pitch this weekend in the adidas/IU Credit Union Classic to face the No. 2-ranked UCLA Bruins and the No. 9-ranked Maryland Terrapins, they will worry more about themselves than the opponent on the field.

By Ben Phelps · Friday, Aug. 31,2007 12:01 a.m.

It is a dimly lit room coated with lime green walls and lined with antiques and vases. Sixties-style furniture finished with green and orange paint fills the room while a typewriter, fondue set and rotary dial phone are scattered throughout.
