Get your geek on

By Sarah Payne · Wednesday, Aug. 6,2008 10:02 p.m.

“Voldemort just doesn’t understand the power of friendship, the power of love and the power of rock ‘n’ roll,” Paul DeGeorge said Sunday night to the crowd of over 60 attendees during the Unlimited Enthusiasm Expo ’08 tour stop at Rhino’s. And that’s just what united us all there.

Members of Native American center board resign

By Elvia Malagon · Wednesday, Aug. 6,2008 9:37 p.m.

A change in door locks has thrown the future of the First Nations Educational and Cultural Center up in the air. The center created for Native Americans, Native Hawaiians and Alaskan natives has been in existence for more than a year, but members of its volunteer student board resigned Aug. 4 and the center might change locations before the fall.

Student named to committee to find athletic director

By Brian Spegele and Ben Homrig · Wednesday, Aug. 6,2008 9:34 p.m.

By announcing the addition of IU senior Drew Allenspach to the athletics director search committee on Tuesday, IU President Michael McRobbie drew praise from student leaders, who called the announcement a sign of the president’s commitment to student opinion.

University of Central Florida sophomore and Bluecoats drum major James Times takes advantage of some free time Tuesday morning to rest at Bedford North Lawrence High School following the corps’s seven-hour bus ride from Canton, Ohio. Drum and bugle corps members often sleep in bus seats and on gymnasium floors.

Behind the Music

When the Bluecoats Drum and Bugle Corps emerged out of four charter buses at 7:30 a.m. Tuesday, many didn’t know where they were or what day it was.

Saying goodbye to too many old friends

By Zachary Osterman · Wednesday, Aug. 6,2008 7:38 p.m.

It’s Sunday night, and sleep is hard to come by. It’s not usually this way. No, work calls me in early on Sundays, so I’m usually rather tired when bedtime rolls around. But not tonight.

Please don't police NFL fans

By Ben Homrig · Wednesday, Aug. 6,2008 7:37 p.m.

USA Today reported this week that the NFL has released its new “Fan Code of Conduct” whereby disruptive (and drunk) fans will have their season tickets revoked if they act in an unruly manner.

No big deal

By Cory Barker · Wednesday, Aug. 6,2008 7:37 p.m.

In case you haven’t heard, the Summer Olympics officially begin this Friday in Beijing. Chances are you have heard all about this year’s games, but you don’t really care. You might claim to care during group conversations or to hold on to some novel idea of patriotism, but you don’t really care because most of the sports bore you and in the month of August there are better things to do than watch air rifle competitions.

Beware, boys

By Georgia Perry · Wednesday, Aug. 6,2008 7:30 p.m.

A couple of days ago I was walking along the street, minding my own business with a nonfat strawberry smoothie and a fresh manicure. I was stopped in my tracks, however, by a flyer advertising a manual labor job that was extremely upsetting to me. “Must be able to lift heavy equipment,” the flyer read.  Well, I think that’s what it read. It is difficult to recall the exact language, because all I saw was a boy’s clubhouse with scrawled writing saying, “No girls allowed!”

Pot kettle black?

By Thomas Wachtel · Wednesday, Aug. 6,2008 7:29 p.m.

I won’t lie to you, I was really starting to get worried. I was starting to believe that this whole Olympic season would go by, and China’s sometimes questionable, sometimes horrible policies concerning its own citizens would go overlooked by the vast majority of people covering or participating in the Games, in some misguided attempt at respect for the host country or, even worse, monetary gain. After all, as Michael Jordan once said, “Republicans wear sneakers, too.”

Street stress

By Brian J. McFillen · Wednesday, Aug. 6,2008 7:28 p.m.

Before going any further, I want to make one thing clear: I have nothing against bicycling. It’s good for you, it’s good for the environment, it reduces Bloomington’s perennial parking shortage, it gives the rest of us an excuse for a week’s worth of parties every April – all great things. There should be more bicyclists around here.

Those damned, dirty apes

Wednesday, Aug. 6,2008 7:26 p.m.

If students are looking for an acceptable way to react when they return to campus in August, they might do well to rent the original “Planet of the Apes.” When Charlton Heston finally sees the Statue of Liberty and realizes that the weird, strange world he crashed onto was once the United States, he falls to his knees and cries out to the sky.
