More than just sexuality

Minority report

By Indira Dammu · Thursday, Aug. 30,2007 8:33 p.m.

For thousands of freshmen, the annual CultureFest is nothing short of a revelation. With a host of entertainers, the event seeks to highlight the myriad cultural experiences available on campus.

If I were President

By Thomas Wachtel · Thursday, Aug. 30,2007 8:31 p.m.

Just in case you’ve been in a coma for the past year, you’ve been on Saturn or you’re a freshman, here’s some news for you: This year marks the first in the tenure of IU President Michael McRobbie. McRobbie replaced Adam Herbert, who got the boot because various people were unhappy with his job performance. Yeah, you heard me right. A president was removed because people thought he was doing a bad job. Fancy that.

General folly

This is as an opportunity for old folks to nostalgically scoff at no-good whippersnappers. But are we really missing out on that much? Here are some samples from this year’s list: “1. What Berlin wall?” The Berlin Wall has been nonexistent during a freshman’s lifetime.

Beach ballin’

If you thought the men’s basketball season didn’t officially get underway until Midnight Madness, Hoosier Hysteria or whatever they call that night in mid-October, you would normally be right. But not this year. This year, IU is getting a head start on the season.

NCAA policies promote professional market

By Jacob Stewart · Thursday, Aug. 30,2007 12:41 a.m.

The term “free agent” is one that marks an athlete who can choose to play for the bidder of their choice and is generally used in association with professional athletics in the United States and throughout the world. Like so many other entities in a market-based economy, a free agent market’s primary aspect is money. But without money – that is, actual currency – can a free agent market still exist? And, if so, has the association employing that unnatural economy traversed from the realm of amateur and become professional?
