Tickets weigh in on alcohol

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Feb. 15,2005 1:17 a.m.

The IU Student Association elections are looming. Next week students will weigh in on who they think will do the best job.

When I came back from Morocco in mid-December, I was ready to undergo what many refer to as "reverse culture shock." This curious phenomenon occurs when a traveler returns home, and it can actually be much worse than the initial trauma of adapting to a foreign setting.
