Students abroad witness sympathy, gain perspective

By Eric Baker · Tuesday, Nov. 6,2001 12:58 a.m.

Before Sept. 11, studying overseas for many American students was filled with unbridled enthusiam and unchecked anticipation. The terrorist attacks in the United States and the retaliatory bombings in Afghanistan have altered the experience for more than 75,000 American college students who are studying abroad this Fall, causing many to change their daily routines and reconsider their future plans.

Fall means flu season

By Amy Wells · Tuesday, Nov. 6,2001 12:57 a.m.

Late October brings at least three things to the IU campus: the changing of the fall colors, the first basketball practices and -- less auspiciously -- the start of flu season. Each year students come to the IU Health Center with questions about influenza. How do I distinguish the flu from the common cold? Is it safe to get a flu vaccine?

Brooding over brain cells

By Jeanne Wilson · Tuesday, Nov. 6,2001 12:34 a.m.

Talk about irony. In spite of my best efforts to ignore and/or forget that I am at least eight years older than 98 percent of the IU student body, the Age Gods keep devising new and inventive ways to smack me upside the head with geriatric reality.

Being white lacks identity

By Jack M. Silverstein · Tuesday, Nov. 6,2001 12:30 a.m.

What does it mean to be white in America? It means that you only have to think about race if you choose to. It means that you can live your whole life without looking at any racial conflicts. You don't even have to know what it means to be white, because you probably don't feel a connection to a white community. I certainly don't. I don't feel a calling to any particular white culture, or white traditions. My Judaism, (which I don't subscribe to as a religion), is part of my identity because of my home life growing up -- but my whiteness?
