This IU connection is evident throughout the restaurant, which displays University sports memorabilia on every available wall surface. Even the table tents were displayed in baseball cases.

Ballroom Dance Club seeks new members

Upon hearing the words "ballroom dancing," one might form a mental picture of huge banquets or balls in the 19th century or vaguely recall the waltz from seventh grade gym class. But at IU, the art of these classic dances is still alive.

Politics more than donkeys and elephants

·

Those who read the IDS opinion page on a regular basis have probably noticed a recurring political column called "Head to Head." This column, written by leaders of the IU College Republicans and IU College Democrats, features a different topic each week discussed from each organization's own perspective. These topics sometimes correspond with the issues being run into the ground by our two erstwhile bastions of presidential potential, Al Gore and George W. Bush.

Trustees and the 'spirit of the law'

·

Wasn't there something in the new Code of Conduct about acting in a forthright manner with people? No deceptive answers? No half-truths? And aren't athletes, being representatives of the University, expected to operate to a higher standard than other students? So shouldn't the president and trustees be expected to operate at an even higher standard?

Administration should appreciate greeks' activities

·

All right, enough is enough. This is ridiculous. Fraternities and sororities have taken enough abuse from this University. We understand that alcohol is a big problem on many campuses across the country, but how much more flack are we going to have to take for it? The University has cracked down on the greek system way too hard.

Homosexuals need the right of marriage

·

The Boys Scouts' anti-gay policy has recently been defended by Randy Brown, executive of the Hoosier Trails Council. It isn't really discriminatory, he claims, because the Scouts want leaders who will exemplify their values about abstinence before marriage and fidelity during it.
