On June 26, 2003, the stage was set for brilliance. All year, people (myself included) wondered if it would actually happen. Would the better-than-most become the best?

NCAA shows academic inconsistency

By Jacob Stewart and Jake Stewart · Sunday, June 10,2007 8:11 p.m.

For many college students across the nation, three words were pounded continually into their heads so that they would never forget them until they passed them on to their own children. School comes first. School comes first. School comes first. But for others, academics took a backseat to athletics. The field came before the classroom, the ball before the books.

Anarchy 101

By Grace Low · Sunday, June 10,2007 7:03 p.m.

Between rowdy G-8 protestors in Germany and the Basque separatist group ETA announcing an end to their already tenuous cease-fire in Spain, the hard eye of public scrutiny has been turned once more to the concept of anarchy.

Smuggy suburbs

By Abby Schwimmer and Ab Schwimmer · Sunday, June 10,2007 7:03 p.m.

By the year 2050, the world’s population is expected to top 9 billion. “So what’s another few billion folks?” you might ask. Well, that’s quite a lot of people to compete for the finite number of resources the earth has to offer - especially land.

Stepping down

By Jacob Stewart and Jake Stewart · Sunday, June 10,2007 7:03 p.m.

Every year, high school students across the nation celebrate their achievement of admission into IU. For many Indiana residents who throughout their childhood heard about our beloved school’s legacy and prestige, they find perhaps no greater thrill than the opportunity to attend college in Bloomington.

As admissions standards begin to rise, Indiana public school systems seem to be lacking in preparatory methods.

The Scarlet Knights of Rutgers University have a lot to be proud of this year, which is a unique feeling for a school that hasn’t won a national championship since 1949 – and for fencing at that. Their women’s basketball team was thrust into the national spotlight for their run to the national championship and for their unshakable poise after shock-jock Don Imus called the squad a bunch of “nappy headed hoes.” Even more impressive was the perennially unremarkable football team, which fought to win their first bowl game since, oh, the beginning of recorded history or so.

To the staff at the IDS: We at The Kinsey Institute wish to express our sorrow at the passing of David Adams.

Am I not a feminist?

Thursday, June 7,2007 2:09 p.m.

I am afraid that Anna Piontek’s article (Feminists For ... What?, May 31) has only contributed to the confusion regarding feminism. Feminism is not simply, and vaguely, about equality.
