Cynicism and cereal

In addition to death and taxes, there are a number of other things that are certain in life. For example, every morning, my grandpa opens up the newspaper, reads the first few headlines he sees and shakes his head.

Rank and file

For many students in Bloomington, including myself, IU is the No. 1 college in America. It has the best professors. It has the fairest admission standards. It has the greatest diversity. It has some of the best academic programs in the nation. To us, it is all of these things because it is our university, and we have become attached to it. The U.S. News and World Report, however, disagrees with our perceptions. Its annual college rankings place universities in order of best to worst in certain areas related to academia, and it seems the Report has given IU the cold shoulder.

Heed the call

In 2003, millions of people placed their phone numbers on the federal “Do Not Call” list to prevent telemarketers from contacting them. What many might not realize, however, is that membership on the list must be renewed after five years – and that if they don’t re-register by going to http://www.donotcall.gov or by calling 1-888-382-1222, their numbers will become publicly available again.

Future tense

Do you hate the Indiana Daily Student Opinion staff? Do you often find yourself disagreeing with writers, yet find yourself unsatisfied by just writing the Jordan River Forum? Do you want your criticism to be more instantly gratifying? Well, your prayers are about to be answered. The Indiana Daily Student has officially launched a new opinion blog, called The Sample Gates. This new blog will finally drag the IDS Opinion page, kicking and screaming, into the 21st century.

K & S Country Market closing after nearly 7 decades

Sept. 30 will mark the end of the K & S Country Market, a mom-and-pop grocery store located at 614 E. Second St. The store, which has been a part of Bloomington since the 1940s, is going out of business.
