By Mike Abrams · Tuesday, Aug. 21,2007 11:08 p.m.

First off, let me tell you that I have been a Pacers fan my whole life, and you were drafted the year I was born. You are a legend, my hero and the face of Indiana

Keep off the freshman 15

By Jacob Stewart and Jake Stewart · Tuesday, Aug. 21,2007 11:02 p.m.

The joy of athletic competition at IU spreads far and wide, from prospective students to long since graduated alumni. The excitement of rooting for the Cream and Crimson as they make their way through one of the NCAA’s banner conferences is a welcome task for Hoosier sports fans.

Busch wins rain-delayed race in Michigan

By Aaron Beard and Mike Harris · Tuesday, Aug. 21,2007 10:51 p.m.

Kurt Busch is staying out of trouble these days, no longer making waves as a NASCAR bad boy. After Busch won for the second time in three races, prevailing in a rare Tuesday NASCAR event after two days of rain postponements at Michigan International Speedway, he gave most of the credit for the change of attitude to team owner Roger Penske.

Big indecision

By Anna Piontek · Tuesday, Aug. 21,2007 7:11 p.m.

I start graduate school on Monday. Before I say anything else, let me articulate my new-school-year feelings as accurately as possible: “AHHHHH!!!! I’m SCARED!!!” During my four years as an undergrad, I, like other students, changed my major a lot. I was a voice major, a linguistics major and an English major. I finally settled on studying comparative literature. But many undergraduates are unable to decide on the right major. Why is it that so few of us are certain about our life’s path?

You’re home!

By Abra Oliver · Tuesday, Aug. 21,2007 7:09 p.m.

Welcome to Indiana University! Welcome to the hassles, the joys and the lessons that are college life. This year will be full of surprises – some good, some bad – and you will not be the same person by the end of it as you are right now. We particularly welcome the freshman class and hope to give some insight into the complicated transition phase that is the undergraduate experience.

From Spain to sweatpants

By Abby Schwimmer and Ab Schwimmer · Tuesday, Aug. 21,2007 7:01 p.m.

I like apple pie. I’m a big fan of democracy. Isn’t that enough to make me a “good American,” more or less? This is the last column that I will write in Spain. Since I have spent the past few weeks raving about how incredible the people and the culture are here, I feel like I’ve been neglecting the good ol’ US of A or even bad-mouthing it. So today I hope to redeem myself by saying that yes, we do live in an incredible country, and although it has its problems, we truly have a lot going for us. Despite how fun it may be to engage in “America bashing” – and trust me, it is – there are certain aspects of the American lifestyle that we take for granted.

Moved to comment

By Brian J. McFillen · Tuesday, Aug. 21,2007 7:01 p.m.

On Aug. 6, right before the brief hiatus between our summer and fall publishing schedules, the Indiana Daily Student ran an article warning about the thefts that can occur during move-in and provided advice on what you can do to prevent them. To those who read it, this might have seemed like a helpful, clear-cut, perfectly reasonable piece of public service information. But to those of us who want to steal…

‘Hoosier’ strives to help Afghanistan rebuild

By Shannon McEnerney · Wednesday, Aug. 15,2007 9:50 p.m.

He wasn’t always a Hoosier. Growing up in Afghanistan, Ashraf Haidari survived on the hope that one day he would be able to receive the U.S. education he always wanted. Now, the current counselor for political, security and development affairs at the Embassy of Afghanistan in Washington, D.C., can confidently say that his journey from the streets of Kabul to the Capitol building is everything he could have imagined.

Dalai Lama to visit Bloomington

By Kaitlin Shawgo and Kailtin Shawgo · Wednesday, Aug. 15,2007 9:49 p.m.

After two years of financial struggles, the Tibetan Culture Center, 3655 Snoddy Road, has paid off its debt. The announcement came Thursday afternoon in conjunction with another announcement outlining the visit of the Dalai Lama in October. The Dalai Lama’s older brother, retired IU professor Thubten Norbu, founded the center in 1979. The center was almost auctioned off in 2005 after it incurred more than $1.7 million in debt. It escaped being auctioned, and in June 2005 the Dalai Lama brought in current Director Arjia Rinpoche to rehabilitate the center. Rinpoche requested that the Buddhist spiritual leader visit this fall for his fifth visit to Bloomington, in order to help the center and its teachings be more well-known in the community.
