Get a clue!

Wednesday, Sept. 5,2007 10:48 p.m.

For years, IU has proudly ranked among the “best party schools in America.” And for IU students, having fun generally does not entail sipping apple juice and playing Jenga. Usually, Hoosiers interested in having a good time will not approach juice of any kind not of the “jungle” variety. We’re sorry to break it to those who would like to believe otherwise, but saying that alcohol is “popular” in Bloomington might just be the biggest understatement in IDS history.

A look from Tim Hamilton's spring collection. His presentation will be shown at Fashion Week in New York City.

You hear that echo, Mr. Gordon?

By Jonathan Hines · Wednesday, Sept. 5,2007 9:24 p.m.

Pssst. Eric Gordon. Yeah, you, Mr. North Central basketball star. Heard you came to Bloomington last weekend -- unofficially, of course. Heard you chatted with coach Kelvin Sampson and even grabbed a couple bites at Yogi's. Been thinking about trying on a pair of candy-striped pants?

Lean on me

By Johnathan P. Rossing and Jonathan Rossing · Wednesday, Sept. 5,2007 6:28 p.m.

By now, new students probably feel like they’ve been on campus for months instead of two weeks. Sophomores and juniors are finally shaking off mental cobwebs of summer. Some seniors might be looking ahead to job applications or graduate school exams. Whatever your current place on your journey through IU, it’s not too late to revisit some useful advice.

The faint clamor of everything from tubas to clarinets echoed from the east side of Memorial Stadium. It’s about 4 p.m. and 250 IU students have gathered in the parking lot to perfect a show they will only perform once.

Hiring practices might ‘burn’ IMU Dining Services

By Natalie Avon · Wednesday, Sept. 5,2007 1:33 a.m.

Steve Mangan, general manager of Indiana Memorial Union Dining Services, said he is not afraid of hiring convicted criminals and empowering them with a second chance. In fact, he has done just that on multiple occasions – both knowingly and unknowingly. Mangan and the supervisors that fall under his jurisdiction do not conduct background checks on all new employees, only those that the University absolutely requires them to.

IU’s oldest fraternity now has the newest home

By Lindsey Alexander · Wednesday, Sept. 5,2007 1:32 a.m.

The newest addition to frat row rivals homes that would more likely be seen in MTV’s “Cribs” than in “Animal House.” Behind a Tudor façade and in front of a basketball court, Beta Theta Pi fraternity members will rest their heads in a $4.7-million house at 1100 North Jordan Ave., which is supposed to be finished Oct. 1.

CHRIS MEYER/IU COMMUNICATIONS -- Helen Clouse has served the students of the Jacobs School of Music for nearly a half century. She celebrated her 100th birthday with family and friends as a plaza was dedicated to her name outside a music practice facility off Third Street.

A musical loss

By Shannon McEnerney · Wednesday, Sept. 5,2007 1:24 a.m.

She was an adviser, a Jacobs School of Music practice room proctor, a confidant and a motivator to nearly 47 years worth of music school students passing through the halls. Helen Clouse did it all. After almost a half-century of serving the University and reigning as the oldest employee at the age of 100, Helen Clouse passed away Sunday, leaving behind a missing note in the music sheets practiced throughout the Jacobs School’s halls. She served as the coordinator for student practice room scheduling until the very end.

Delaware students get RIAA letters about illegal downloads

By Ab D. Phillip and Kristin Vorce · Wednesday, Sept. 5,2007 12:33 a.m.

Downloading songs off of media file-sharing programs such as BitTorrent or Limewire is free and seemingly without risk. But now it can cost students a federal lawsuit and thousands of dollars in damages. The Recording Industry Association of America sent 23 pre-litigation settlement letters to the University of Delaware this past July as part of its campaign to stop illegal file-trafficking on college campuses.
