Spring has sprung

By Brian J. McFillen and Brain J. McFillen · Wednesday, April 4,2007 12 a.m.

Spring is here again – and I’m hunkered in my apartment with the blinds drawn, trying to ignore it. But I can still hear it out there – birds twittering, basketballs dribbling, passers-by chatting amiably – like some sort of cloying siren, demanding I be like everyone else and join in the fun. “I’m spring,” it says, “I’m bright and happy – why don’t you love me?” Blech. Spring makes me sick.

Alba Berdala still remembers the day she left her family, friends and country behind. “That was, I think, the most scary event of my life,” the sophomore IU tennis player said. “It was hard.

Sabbagh for mayor

By Abra Oliver and Chris Seifers · Wednesday, April 4,2007 12 a.m.

The great city of Bloomington deserves a new leader and that leader should be David Sabbagh. Sabbagh has served our citizens and interests as a three-term city councilman. Leadership and experience are evident when discussing Sabbagh’s contributions to our city. Bloomington deserves a leader with a proven record and constant attention to the most pressing of the city’s issues. The ever changing commerce conditions in Bloomington require the highest-ranking city official to have a proven background in business management, as well as the ability to always keep the best interests of our city at the forefront of his or her agenda. Sabbagh is the right candidate at the right time for our city. Chris Seifers Bloomington

Music Lesson

By Joanna Borns · Wednesday, April 4,2007 12 a.m.

In college, a lot of learning happens outside the classroom. In fact, much of it happens at the local watering holes. All you have to do is listen. And if you listen carefully inside, outside or even 50 feet away from any bar, you’re only going to hear one thing – the same songs you heard last weekend and the weekend before. But they have a lot to teach us.
