Ground broken on facility named for slain IU student

Sunday marked the groundbreaking ceremony for Jill's House, a temporary housing facility that will provide shelter for patients and families undergoing outpatient therapy at the IU Cyclotron Facility. The house is being built in honor of IU student Jill Behrman who disappeared May 31, 2000, and whose remains were found three years later in Morgan County.

Bowing to Kelley

We have noticed a trend that needs to be addressed immediately. While we have a captive audience (both of our readers), we'd like to point out that we know from firsthand experience that students in the business school do have good qualities. In fact, both of us live with business majors, and we have been made aware of our misconceptions.

Out of mind

Since it usually takes me more than just one class to finish a crossword, if I finish it at all, I've come to think of the daily puzzle as my monochrome babysitter: She doesn't really care what I'm doing so long as I don't bother anyone with my pesky questions.

Online Only: Bluegrass blues

There I was, at the races, trapped in a building where people were allowed to smoke indoors, and Starbucks was a foreign concept. In fact, there was no hot coffee at all. All I could get my hands on to feed my monstrous caffeine addiction was a cold cup of something that can only be described as dirty water with coffee grounds stirred in. Ahh, the joy of returning to your roots.

Blacked OUT

Hopelessly dialing phone numbers to find a ride home, a bar hopper instead found herself sprawled across the Taco Bell floor after a minor slip, content and still absorbed in punching buttons on the phone. Laughing at the girl's obliviousness, her friend coaxed her to her feet and off the grimy, plastic tiles. The final stop of a long night spent bar crawling might have been memorable, but will it be remembered? Probably not.

Help Me, Harlan!

Dear Harlan, I have two bachelors' degrees -- one in business, one in art (painting). I "fit in" more with the art crowd than I do with the business crowd. Now I'm getting my MBA. I have tried my hardest to prove my worth: I help others study and get organized, go to meetings, maintain the class calendar, co-chair two committees and am senator of the class. Despite all of this, no one takes me seriously!
