The ICC is needed to facilitate America's war on terrorism and create a more efficient international judicial system.

Games bring Hoosier spirit

Imagine if we had lost the game to Duke. None of the students would be at Showalter Fountain, in a group so large that police eventually let them do what they wanted, like climb lamposts and parked buses. I wouldn't have gotten a chance to witness the unity among students. Even amid the crowd surfing, the shouting and screaming, everyone was gathered together for a reason: IU had beaten Duke by one point. We were on our way to the Elite Eight.

Random drug testing gone awry

The event showcases the Recreational Sports program as well as raises money for the Indiana Special Olympics and provides students with valuable leadership experience.

Four-game roadtrip provides challenge

Six a.m., the sun has barely risen, yet there they are, warming up on four miles of jogging, rooting out the players with true dedication to the sport of lacrosse.

Baseball will live on, I predict it

Book examines why marriages fail

As if graduation isn't enough of a disorienting life transition, many IU students will get shiny-new engagement rings to match those proud tassels this May. Perhaps you are confused by your peers' sudden rush to the altar, or are concerned that you, too, should be tying the knot with your college sweetheart before you get permanently separated in the real-world jungle. Or maybe you yourself are recently betrothed and are looking forward to your magical wedding and the life together that will follow.
