Buying at the 'Black Market'

By Joanna Borns · Wednesday, Sept. 7,2005 1:29 a.m.

Now you can buy a candy bar or a lottery ticket while simultaneously stepping back in time. Downtown Bloomington has a new late-night convenience store that provides a glimpse of its history. Inside the Black Mercantile, on the corner of Seventh and Walnut streets, the colors of shiny candy wrappers pop out against red brick walls that have existed for nearly 200 years. Neon signs glow inside windows that look as though they could've been taken out of a black and white movie; outside, you might half expect to see horse-drawn carriages rather than cars.

Club offers runners forum to compete

By Andrew Smith and Drew Smith · Wednesday, Sept. 7,2005 1:10 a.m.

Running alone last year was no fun for senior Ben Bartley. He was discouraged because although IU has well-respected and experienced track and cross-country teams, there was no organization for students who wanted to run for fun. Some students who wanted to learn proper training techniques of running and to have a forum to compete had nowhere to turn. Bartley and junior Jacqui Davis decided to do something about it.

Building diversity on the Opinion page

By Adam Aasen and Alyson Brodsy · Wednesday, Sept. 7,2005 1:01 a.m.

The first place most people turn to when they first open up the Indiana Daily Student is usually the comics page. After asking their friends for all of the answers to the crossword puzzle and deciphering exactly what their horoscope means, people usually turn to the Sports or Opinion pages. People love reading the Sports and Opinion pages for the columns. They love to hear what columnists say and to argue with people's opinions. But before readers take in our well-crafted editorials, they look at the mug shots -- and I hate to use a cliché, but a picture is worth a thousand words. When I was a freshman flipping through the Opinion page, I always wanted to read the columns of people who looked nice. I would think to myself, "He looks like a creep, I'm not going to read that," or "She looks dumb, I'll skip this one." Pictures color our judgment and one criticism the IDS constantly receives about our columnists is their lack of diversity as a group. This is an issue that can turn away readers.

By Ryne Shadday · Wednesday, Sept. 7,2005 12:59 a.m.

A study performed on smokers by IU researchers has been temporarily suspended after it was discovered some subjects' names and addresses had been compromised. Led by the IU Psychology Department, it is thought to be the longest-running U.S. study of smoking behaviors in the same subject. The study tracked teens through adulthood and followed up on their smoking habits. It began in 1980 and surveyed 8,500 students in Monroe County middle and high schools. The IU researchers continually kept in contact with the students through adult-hood with many follow-up surveys.
