Donation generation

By Jacob Stewart and Jake Stewart · Monday, April 2,2007 12 a.m.

Seldom does a month go by without a high and mighty columnist in the Indiana Daily Student chastising the IU student community on the basis of apathy. I am guilty in this regard. Apathy on campus can be a serious problem, especially when it affects student voice. But IU student apathy is not as rampant as it might have been in the past. It is, after all, much easier (and much more controversial) to point out shortcomings than it is to praise accomplishments. Today the credit is due.

Water, water everywhere

By Grace Low · Monday, April 2,2007 12 a.m.

Environmentalists and peaceful hippies alike would have us believe that no one can own the waters, that the vast and ever-changing tides belong to the earth from whose bosom we all sprang. Therefore, we all have a right to utilize and traverse the waters of the globe without fear or restriction.

Let magazines live

By Teri Rosenbaum · Monday, April 2,2007 12 a.m.

Remember when we were little? When that weird, chubby neighborhood girl would call you during your midafternoon dose of “Doogie Howser, M.D”. and ask, “Wanna play?” “Um, no. Wanna watch the latest episode of ‘Sister, Sister’?”

‘Hip-hop Is (not) Dead’

By Stefania Marghitu · Monday, April 2,2007 12 a.m.

Ever since Nas released the single, “Hip-Hop Is Dead,” there’s been a lot of hearsay that is attempting to validate this assertion. Several publications have pontificated the notion, but perhaps the most startling evidence is a recent video of Karl Rove dancing along to comedians rapping about “M.C. Rove” at a high-profile banquet in our nation’s capital.

Students ride ‘bullet train’ around Japan

By Whitney Mitchell · Monday, April 2,2007 12 a.m.

However, swimming with a sprained ankle, Swander added seconds to his time and finished in a disappointing second place with a time of 1:03.30.

Daylight dilemma

By Mike McElroy · Monday, April 2,2007 12 a.m.

You might want to read this next paragraph a few times before moving on. In April 2006, Indiana officially became the 48th state to adopt daylight saving time, meaning the state’s clocks would now “spring ahead” and “fall back” with the rest of the Eastern Standard Time states. However, several counties (many of which have previously observed daylight saving time) petitioned to set their clocks to Central Standard Time and observe daylight saving time with the rest of the Midwest. Got all that? If you’re having a hard time making sense of Indiana’s backwater approach to time zones and daylight saving time, you aren’t the only one.

Cutters’ Bishop, Teter’s Rieke capture Miss-n-Out victories

By Aaron Beard · Monday, April 2,2007 12 a.m.

With three-fourths of a lap remaining, Cutters rider Alex Bishop all but wrapped up his second consecutive Miss-n-Out victory. Although Bishop was joined on the track with two of the fastest sprinters in the field – Dodds House rider Chris Chartier and Phi Kappa Psi rider Erik Styacich – he won the race by getting to Turn 1 first.

EN GARDE!

By Tom Kir · Monday, April 2,2007 12 a.m.

Basketball. Jogging. Sword fights. It wasn’t the most typical weekend at the Wildermuth Gymnasium. The IU Fencing Club hosted the United States Association of Collegiate Fencing Clubs’ national championships at the School of Health, Physical Education and Recreation this weekend. While most HPER occupants are decked in gym shorts and Under Armour, these patrons donned real armor – and sabers.
