Getting oriented

By Julia Boriss · Sunday, June 22,2008 8:56 p.m.

Overwhelmed freshmen and their bewildered parents are aimlessly wandering this campus like lost sheep and, fittingly, attending meetings in mass herds. Watching this sad display of behavior makes me the opposite of nostalgic for when I was in their shoes. If there’s one piece of advice I could give to reassure these nervous mobs that they aren’t making a horrible mistake, it would be this: Your experience at orientation is no indication of what your college experience will be like.

Psychedelic music is a beast with many heads, a fact made clear by the varied acts who played June 18 at Bear’s Place. Making one last tour stop in Bloomington before heading to psych-heaven festival Terrastock, all of the acts shared a penchant for both psychedelic and folk music.

Hoeppner died of complications from a brain tumor only months before the start of the 2007-08 season, forcing the IU players and coaching staff to come together and deal with the loss in the midst of preparations for the new year. “We went into last season with a real sense of purpose,” IU coach Bill Lynch said. “We had a goal in mind and we were united in that goal. And that was to get to a bowl game.”
