Back to basics

·

Barring a few exceptions, each IU freshman is required to live on-campus for at least one year. Freshmen hear all sorts of horror stories, from friends and graduates, before even arriving on campus.

While America slept

·

It was 2011, and the tide of revolution across the Arab world was indeed a joy to behold.


IU vs Illinois

A Hoosier fantasy

·

It’s the end of August, and for those of us entrenched in the sporting world, our attention is focused on two things: Fantasy Drafts and IU Football.

Excessive exercise

·

A couple of months ago, I was hanging out with friends and we decided to grab some beer. We’re all legal, and we figured it’d be a fun way to chill for the night.

Letter to the Editor: United police States of America

Ferguson, Missouri’s police department has released its report on the Aug. 9th shooting death of teenager Michael Brown, a redacted document that American Civil Liberties Union attorney Tony Rothert says violates Missouri’s Sunshine Law by omitting key information.Brown’s death at the hands of a Ferguson police officer provoked impassioned demonstrations and debates on police brutality and the very nature of policing in the United States, leading many observers to wonder if Americans are now living in a full-fledged police state.But what is a “police state?” The phrase has become an almost commonplace feature of our conversation on police violence and militarization, a convenient way to give voice to growing fears about deteriorating civil liberties.

Mo' costumes mo' problems

·

Superheroes have been a fixture of mainstream American culture for over a hundred years. Characters that dish out vigilante justice without regards to the rules of traditional law enforcement are popular in a relatively repressive society like ours (although less repressive than what it once was, of course).Superheroes costumes, on the other hand, can sometimes seem oddly repressive, for all that they are supposed to uplift their wearer.All superheroes serve about the same purpose, however, and that’s part of their charm.

Reality vs. fantasy

·

The new Wonder Woman and her costume have been criticized as overtly sexual. Lady superheroes are supposed to save the world.

Letter to the Editor: Mourning keijzer

As an IU-Bloomington alumnus (2011), I think I share the same type of condolences about Karlijn Keijzer as the rest of my former classmates.
