The science behind rejection

By David Weisburd · Monday, Oct. 15,2007 9:43 p.m.

The one thing that humans seem to have in common is the fear of rejection. Regardless of ethnicity and culture, most human beings cannot take it. Before learning the science of rejection, I had not considered why it is that rejection is feared. Modern science shows us that rejection sends the same exact pain signal to the brain that a physical blow does. That, my friend, is why it hurts.

To celebrate IU’s annual homecoming weekend, the University has decided to do something different this year: Celebrate IU week. During Homecoming week, events, performances and lectures will be featured each night. From the Jacobs School of Music to the School of Fine Arts Gallery, there is no shortage of cultural happenings. Here’s a short list of free events.

Justin Chafe, an IU graduate student and author of “Bunny Rabbit on the Moon,” reads his book at the Graduate and Executive Education Center on Thursday.

The write stuff

Whether it’s a convertible, a balloon or a teddy bear, people see different objects when they gaze at the clouds. For MBA student Justin Chafe, the same can be said for the moon. When Chafe’s girlfriend said she saw an old man’s face on the celestial body, he could not see it; instead, he saw a bunny.

BOLOGNA, Italy – When I hear people railing against modern art and its lack of aesthetic value, I usually get upset.

Experts: Building near schools is risky for students

By Ab D. Phillip and Ken Maguire · Monday, Oct. 15,2007 9:30 p.m.

Harrah’s Entertainment pitched a proposed Rhode Island casino to college students as a place “to have fun when they’re taking a break from studying.” In Connecticut, home to two of the world’s largest resort casinos, a minimum age limit of 21 doesn’t deter young people. And colleges in Missouri changed their health center intake forms to include a space for gambling issues, after counselors found the problem was prevalent but not being addressed.

Appeal of video games transcends age, gender

By Ab D. Phillip and Catherine Villnave · Monday, Oct. 15,2007 9:27 p.m.

When George Washington University senior Tom Lotito came home for Christmas from a semester studying abroad in Japan, he found that his mom and sister were wishing for the same Christmas present that he wanted – the newly released Nintendo Wii. For Lotito, the president of the Nintendo Players Union on campus, getting a Wii was a no-brainer, but he was taken aback by the interest of his family members.

Al Gore, the people’s president, has won a Nobel Peace Price in honor of his “efforts to spread awareness of a man-made climate change and laying the foundations for counteracting it.” Although I am very proud of Big Al and his spreading of awareness, every time I think about global warming and what Big Al tried to teach us, I think back to last winter when I played golf on Christmas Eve and can never really get that angry. And I really don’t want to write a whole column about how something so seemingly disastrous has brought me joy.

Talkin’ ‘bout my generation

By Anna Piontek · Monday, Oct. 15,2007 7:41 p.m.

Dear Old Conservative Columnists of the New York Times (cc: David Brooks, Thomas Friedman), Please stop all attempts to characterize my generation. I know you New York Times columnists and other influential people love to make grandiose summaries about our “era,” can’t resist coining various “–isms,” and generally devote much energy to defining the times – all while enjoying the fact that everyone will believe you, just because you’re you.

Are we equal yet?

By Grace Low · Monday, Oct. 15,2007 7:40 p.m.

My friends are some of the best people in the world. They’re a group of individuals I take great pride in, and I am constantly humbled by their respective talents, open-mindedness and passion. From Bloomington to San Francisco, lovely individuals host events such as Eroticon, part fetish-ball, part education. All in all, I’m lucky. So lucky, in fact, that if I wanted to, I could retreat into the safety of these utopian situations and deny that a world exists that is not so enlightened and accepting.

Bibles and bullets

By Scott Leadingham · Monday, Oct. 15,2007 7:39 p.m.

TIPPECANOE COUNTY, Ind. – There are plenty of activities to do on a sunny Saturday in Bloomington. Among these are a day at the golf course and streaking through the quad with Will Ferrell. That’s why sitting at a colonial-era battle reenactment in West Lafayette seems wholly unnecessary.

You got served

The Department of Education has announced that it will begin toughening its enforcement of a federal work-study law. The law requires colleges to award at least 7 percent of their federal work-study funds to students involved in community service. Beginning in the 2007-08 award year that began this month, colleges who fail to meet the 7 percent requirement “will be required to return FWS federal funds in an amount that represents the difference between the amount that the institution should have spent for community service and the amount that it actually spent.”
