After the release of the Ice Miller report, former IU assistant basketball coach Rob Senderoff was undoubtedly the most at fault in the three-way calling scandal now engulfing IU basketball. Nevertheless, Senderoff was also undoubtedly the scapegoat when he resigned this past week.

I'm starting to feel unloved. In the past few weeks I’ve witnessed with growing incredulity a disparate amount of letters to the editor concerning either myself or Chase Cooper, a fellow columnist. Between us, we constitute the lonely minority of conservatives on the editorial board. The problem, however, is that while his columns regularly garner outrage, not a single person has complained about the views I espouse. And when you sum my columns up, this seems odd. In the past I’ve argued that sweatshop labor is not only fair but good, that the oil crisis isn’t going to happen and that charity fashion erodes our moral pillars. If it’s right wing values that people dislike, I should have received death threats by now.

While many hear campus ghost stories and accept them as fact, some wonder whether the stories are based on true stories, and if many can be explained by natural phenomena.
The Department of Folklore and Ethnomusicology will not be holding its annual Ghost Walk due to scheduling conflicts, much to the dismay of Folklore Graduate Recorder Chris Roush, who promised the event would return next year.
