Holy experiences

By Chip Cutter · Wednesday, April 25,2007 12 a.m.

It’s 8 on a Thursday night, and the lights inside a stadium-style lecture hall in the Chemistry Building are dim. Students pump their hands in the air, scream out to their friends and randomly exchange hugs. A six-person band, complete with a cymbal-banging drummer, rocks on.

Diverse COMUnity

By Alyson Brodsy · Wednesday, April 25,2007 12 a.m.

Last Monday, April 16, the Commission on Multicultural Understanding awarded its annual awards to an undergraduate student, graduate student, faculty member, staff member, Bloomington community member and one campus program. These awards recognize and honor “individuals who actively support, participate in, or encourage the exploration of cultural diversity in and around the IU campus.” Additionally, the commission tries to recognize individual volunteers in their efforts rather than people whose job it is to provide services that emphasize diversity and inclusion.

The last broadcast

By Brian J. McFillen and Brain J. McFillen · Wednesday, April 25,2007 12 a.m.

A month ago, I wrote about how a decision by the Library of Congress’ Copyright Royalty Board was threatening to wipe out Internet radio. In the five weeks since, things have only gotten worse. After losing an April 17 appeal to the board, starting May 15, Web broadcasters will immediately have to pay 0.08 cents in royalties for every song they played in 2006, then 0.11 cents for every song in 2007, followed by annual hikes up to 0.19 cents per song by 2010 – this will raise their operating costs by thousands and thousands of dollars, immediately bankrupting many stations. Furthermore, broadcasters will have to pay an extra $500 for every channel they have, and even non-profit stations such as National Public Radio will face higher costs.

Stretch yourself

By Matt Peyton · Tuesday, April 24,2007 12 a.m.

So this week I was thinking back to my first yoga class. It was a little rough. First, there was trying to find the room in the rat maze they call the Wildermuth Intramural Center. Then there was making sure I wasn’t the only guy in the class. And finally, trying to learn the stuff but not be “that guy,” that so many of my friends warned me about. (I was supposed to try, but not too hard. Be good, but not too good, etc.)

Around the world

By Abdullah AlShihri · Tuesday, April 24,2007 12 a.m.

The trust funds for Social Security and Medicare will last a year longer than previously estimated, trustees said Monday. That means 2041 for the Social Security trust fund to be exhausted and 2019 for Medicare. In their annual report on the financial health of the government’s two biggest benefit programs, the trustees said that slight reductions in projected benefits and slightly higher tax collections had extended the dates that the trust funds are projected to be depleted.

Power of one

By Abby Schwimmer and Ab Schwimmer · Tuesday, April 24,2007 12 a.m.

They say that hindsight is 20/20. In light of the recent massacre at Virginia Tech, it seems this is becoming the case more and more in society. The numbers are overwhelming, to say the very least: 33 dead, leaving a campus of 26,370 students reeling from the loss of their classmates and from the guilt that comes with the feeling that they should have been able to do something or should have seen the warning signs.
