Ron Paul revolutionaries

By Anna Piontek · Sunday, Sept. 9,2007 9:30 p.m.

You’ve seen his smarmy grin. In the IMU, on the square and plastered over the kiosks. His flyers beckon you with the question: “Who is Ron Paul, and why is he trying to save my country?” Aaron Jones, a leader in IU Students for Ron Paul, said Paul is a “shining gem in a pile of shit.” Unfortunately, I didn’t have to think very hard about which “pile” Aaron was talking about. He was talking about American politics.

Sue this!

Sunday, Sept. 9,2007 9:28 p.m.

Since the inception of Napster, the Recording Industry Association of America, or RIAA, has been extremely active in efforts to protect the intellectual property of its members by attacking anyone and everyone who commits copyright infringement via Internet file sharing. However, it has not been particularly successful, which has led it to seek help. The RIAA now is asking universities to assist it in suing its own students.

Drink the tap!

By Abby Schwimmer and Ab Schwimmer · Sunday, Sept. 9,2007 9:27 p.m.

In my relatively brief existence, I have both heard of and witnessed some horrifying, logic-defying fads. If you aren’t sure what I’m talking about, just go ask your parents to see their old pet rocks. To me, no fad has ever seemed as pointless as the water bottle craze that has taken the U.S. by storm in the last decade. In my hometown of Memphis, Tenn., during high school it became “cool” to walk the hallways flagrantly toting around a bottle of Fiji-brand water. This water was supposedly cleaner and fresher than our own tap water, simply because it came from an artesian well several continents away.

Get out of jail free

By Jacob Stewart and Jake Stewart · Sunday, Sept. 9,2007 9:25 p.m.

For the great number of convicted felons who have committed serious violations of the law in the state of Indiana, they can be almost certain that they will breathe free air again. And if they keep their heads down and wait on a literal “get out of jail free” card from the Indiana Parole Board, this will most likely occur sooner, rather than later.

First thing on the morning of Sept. 6, hundreds of people (at the very least), including myself, waited in a big, long queue winding through the foyer of the IU Auditorium. Why, you ask?

By Amanda Bridgman · Sunday, Sept. 9,2007 6:30 p.m.
