Online antics

By Alyson Brodsy and Ayesha Awan · Friday, Sept. 23,2005 12:44 a.m.

My academic demise will probably be a 15-inch blank screen. No, not my TV. My computer. Never having a computer in my room, I had no idea how distracting it would be until I came to college. It starts off simple enough. Let me just check my e-mail for five minutes. While I'm at it, why don't I go on Facebook for five minutes? And since I'm doing that how about I just sign on to instant messenger and catch up with some friends for five minutes?

Rita's rain likely to re-flood hard-hit New Orleans

By Alyson Brodsy and Michelle Roberts · Friday, Sept. 23,2005 12:39 a.m.

NEW ORLEANS -- In a grim opening salvo from Hurricane Rita, a steady rain began falling Thursday on New Orleans for the first time since Katrina laid waste to the city, and engineers rushed to shore up the broken levees for fear of another ruinous round of flooding. The forecast called for 3 to 5 inches of rain in New Orleans in the coming days. That is dangerously close to the amount engineers said could send floodwaters pouring back into neighborhoods that have been dry for less than a week.

A civilization of clashes

By Alyson Brodsy and Brian Stewart · Friday, Sept. 23,2005 12:37 a.m.

On Valentine's Day in 1989, Ayatollah Khomeini issued a fatwa against Salman Rushdie. Rushdie's offense was that he had written a novel, "The Satanic Verses." For this, a large bounty was offered in public for Rushdie's head. Iranian authorities had dispatched death squads to England, and though Rushdie was unscathed, his Norwegian publisher was not so fortunate. This threat was a high challenge to civilized people everywhere. And the fatwa has recently been reaffirmed.

Nip/tuck nation

By Alyson Brodsy and Amanda Dorman · Friday, Sept. 23,2005 12:33 a.m.

It's your high school graduation and your parents offer to buy you a special gift. What do you ask for? A necklace from Tiffany & Co.? An Apple PowerBook? A European tour? These days, teenage girls have something else in mind: They are asking their parents for a new pair of $5,000 breasts. But hey, when it comes to your child's happiness, no price is too high. Or is it?

Don't request her to be your friend

By Alyson Brodsy · Friday, Sept. 23,2005 12:31 a.m.

The decision made by the Panhellenic Association to bar sorority members from fraternizing with freshmen via Facebook might seem unnecessary, unwarranted and just silly to students not in the greek community. For non-greeks, there's a lot about the greek community that might seem silly. All the same, the new ordinance makes a certain sort of sense.

Lack of funds puts IU repairs on hold

By Mike Malik · Thursday, Sept. 22,2005 2:25 a.m.

A lack of state appropriations -- $77 million over the last four years -- has forced IU to halt a number of building upgrades and repair projects.

Displaced

By Eboni Gatlin · Thursday, Sept. 22,2005 2:25 a.m.

Never take anything for granted. You never know when it can be taken away from you. That is the lesson IU music students Tyrone Hayes and Ebonee Davis take to heart after surviving Hurricane Katrina and having their worlds washed away. Hayes and Davis evacuated New Orleans for what they thought would be a long weekend away from school while the storm passed.

By Hannah Lodge · Thursday, Sept. 22,2005 2:15 a.m.

Ebay? Yahoo? Bank One? Amazon? You might not remember what sites you've visited lately, and it's likely you don't care. But someone out there might.
