How one frat ruined Christmas

By Lexia Banks · Tuesday, Dec. 9,2014 8:59 p.m.

Holiday parties are boring.  They’re just sad get-togethers where you eat snowman-shaped sugar cookies and moan about the weather.  College students try to make it fun with ugly Christmas sweaters and a lot of peppermint Schnapps and we’re more inclined to complain about exams and final projects and how little sleep we’ve had.  But even that gets boring.

We need a renewed focus on CAPS

By Emma Wenninger · Tuesday, Dec. 9,2014 8:58 p.m.

As this semester ends, I find myself continually reflecting on a few things. The Indiana Daily Student ran two pieces about student well-being and sexual violence on campus that were insightful, but filled me with a sense of frustration and hopelessness. Even in my classes people expressed anger.

Do away with minimum wage laws

Tuesday, Dec. 9,2014 8:55 p.m.

Isn’t it interesting that we think that some government entity can best decide what is the appropriate minimum wage for every organization in the country.

Dear people who question Jackie

Tuesday, Dec. 9,2014 8:54 p.m.

With regards to the Rolling Stone article about UVA - what is now up for debate: Whether Drew was a member of the fraternity. Whether Drew was a lifeguard. Whether the fraternity had a social event on the books that night. Some other inconsistencies in Jackie's story My responses, in order: Why does this matter if it occurred at the fraternity and included other fraternity members?

Open letter of support for the Black Student Union at IU-Bloomington

Tuesday, Dec. 9,2014 8:53 p.m.

We stand with the people around the country calling for justice and racial equality in American society.  Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel once said, “the opposite of good is not evil, the opposite of good is indifference.” He said this to wake up the masses during the Civil Rights Movement to bring people to their feet and combat racial inequality.
