Cyber bullying plays out on CollegeACB

·

While the Web site is only 14 months old, CollegeACB.com, an online discussion board, has already become a controversial site where students face homophobia, anti-Semitism, sexism and other forms of discrimination.


MovieFest

Ready for their close-up

·

Junior Chris Martens and the cast and crew of “Unplugged” arrived at Skinquake on East Sixth Street on Sunday to film their short for the second annual IU Campus MovieFest. As the cast ran through lines and the camera equipment was set up, the director frantically searched through his bags.

Mickelson subsides Tiger’s ongoing joke

·

Last week, I wrote that if Tiger Woods miraculously pulled off a win in his return to golf at the Masters, which turned out to only add to this hoax, there would be no closure to go along with his tainted green jacket.

Pitching biggest concern as IU faces Valparaiso

·

The IU baseball team faces an early mid-week non conference test as it travels to Gary to face Valparaiso (11-18). The Hoosiers (15-15) were only able to take one of three from Ohio State, the preseason Big Ten favorites, last weekend. Valparaiso is coming off a weekend in which it took two out of three on the road against Youngstown State.


IU-Penn State Baseball

Monar looks to pitch after early season injury

·

At this point in the 2010 season, the IU baseball team hoped to have its anticipated preseason pitching ace on the mound, winning games and leading an undermanned pitching staff. Instead, sophomore Blake Monar hasn’t started on the rubber since the season’s first game in February at San Diego due to a strained rotator cuff. He’s played sparingly since as a pinch hitter for the Hoosiers.

Newspaper classified ad sales might be floundering, but that hasn’t stopped people from buying and selling their junk. The adage “one person’s trash is another person’s treasure” couldn’t be truer in the world of cyber classified ads. Every lost ring, found wallet, and free couch has a hidden history. We scoured the OneStart classified ads to find creative sales pitches and the people behind them. Our stuff tells a story.

We asked Brooke McCluskey, marketing manager of Hoosier Times (the group that publishes the Bloomington Herald-Times) for tips on writing a classified.



Hands

Honest work

·

Your liberal arts education is not a survival promise. Three students share how dirty hands fill the gaps in their learning


Tijan Job

The healing game

·

When Tijan left Gambia six years ago to shoot hoops in the United States, he knew he wouldn’t have the chance to help his mother through an illness that had been ailing her for more than five years. In January, his brothers left him a voicemail with difficult news: his mother had passed away. He hadn’t seen her since he left home in 2004. A few weeks later, we asked him how he coped with the loss.



Sean and grandfather

Facing their wall

·

My grandfather never went to the Wall. A Vietnam War veteran, he never pressed his hand to the black granite monument and felt the grooved indents of 58,261 names. He couldn’t bring himself to do it, so I did it for him. I drove 650 miles to confront the loss — his and mine.


Get lost.

Get lost

·

Bloomington straddles the fencepost between woodsy wilderness and hip college campus – think impractical, tight-fitting flannel. If you ever lock your keys in the car while parked at Bradford Woods, you’ll want to know which berries to eat.



Little 500

Trash with class

·

Can the words “etiquette” and “Little 500 party” even fit in the same sentence? We say yes.

Run a grassroots movement

·

If you caught the “political bug” after the 2008 election and want to change your community, strap in. According to senior AnnElyse Gibbons, former president of IU’s Students for Hillary campaign, these tips will prepare any aspiring volunteer for what she calls the “election roller coaster.”


Hutton Honors College

Do it for others

·

Two students saw a problem at local Fairview Elementary School. As the elementary school with the lowest socioeconomic status in Bloomington, some kids don’t have books to read. Through the Hutton Honors College, juniors Hannah Wert and Adeel Chaudhry are doing something about that.
