Beyond the print: fun with ethics
If there's one thing I've learned while working for the IDS, it's that everyone has something to say. This is a good thing. And I want to hear what you have to say about ethics in journalism.
'Boot Camp' should get a dishonorable discharge
PC terms accomplish nothing
The San Diego City Council is now the worst team in San Diego. Forget about the Chargers and the Padres; the council is making decisions that are actually worse than drafting Ryan Leaf.
Finding my inner diva
I have tried to be a diva since birth, but not the kind of princess who can sing Britney better than the pop star herself. And not the tall supermodel with the long blond locks who struts the catwalks in Paris and Milan. I will never be one of those girls.

The music filling the air during Little 500 will be anything but ancient.

Former board of trustees member Harry Gonzo first experienced the sharp slap of sexual discrimination as an IU student in the late sixties -- only it wasn't directed at him. When the standout quarterback and Rose Bowl champion's best friend announced he was homosexual, Gonzo supported the young man's decision. But he was in the minority.
Famous mime to perform
April 16, the Department of Theater and Drama will welcome a person to the stage who has absolutely nothing to say. The silence on stage results from the performer -- Marcel Marceau, a world-famous mime, whose stage shows incorporate only motion. Theater and drama assistant professor Murray McGibbon saw Marceau perform in London in 1979. He said the performance was so extraordinary he still remembers it vividly.
