Our crazy statehouse: Defunding Planned Parenthood

·

The Indiana House Public Policy Committee approved a proposal Feb. 17 that calls to eliminate all state funding for Planned Parenthood or any other organization that offers abortion services. House Bill 1205 is now en route to the full House.

Our crazy statehouse: Gay marriage

·

Among the other head-scratchers making their way through the Indiana legislature is Joint Resolution 6, which would define marriage as being between a man and woman in the state Constitution.

Eye contact is for the homeful

The grand IDS Housing Fair of Spring 2011 was last Tuesday. If you are still looking for a place to live next fall and you didn’t go to the fair, you are now pretty much homeless. The fair was your last chance to find anything worth inhabiting. At this point I would advise checking out Martha’s House and the Shalom Center because you will soon become very familiar with their homelessness services.

Healthcare is not a right

·

No matter the fate of the Republican Party’s efforts to repeal last year’s health care reform act, this country is not finished debating the issue.





Fern Hills

Free from clothes

Drive 25 minutes from campus and you’ll come to a spot some Hoosiers call paradise. Check your inhibitions and clothes at the door. Welcome to Fern Hills Club, a world free from clothes.

The sorority girl

We come to college to earn our degrees and — hopefully — prepare ourselves for our chosen career. But classes and homework are only part of the battle.  As freshmen, we’re given the key to independence the day we hug our parents goodbye. At some point between parties and pizza runs, the reality sinks in and we realize freedom sometimes isn’t as glamorous as it sounded when we were grounded on that one Friday night in high school.  ¶ The four students we profiled come from different cities and backgrounds. Whether they’ve been here for one semester or for four years, they each have developed different answers to the question “what is freedom?” In the end, freedom isn’t hard to obtain; it’s knowing what to do with your freedom that can be a struggle.

The future isn't free

·

We’re forced to pay for activities, health, transportation, and technology. But when it comes time to fork over our money for safety and sustainability, it’s easy to just say no.

Your free ride ... isn't

·

Aim high. Don’t forget to say “thank you.” Count your blessings. Since you were a kid, you’ve probably heard one or all of these phrases from your parents. And when you go off to college, the sentiment behind those statements doesn’t change.
