Absence makes the Hoosier heart grow stronger

·

Ignorance is bliss for the Hoosiers.  While Thomas Gray certainly didn’t have the IU football team on his mind when he wrote his much-referenced poem in 1742, his words ring true in the Hoosiers’ 2009 Big Ten season.


Callhoun vs Ohio State

Could IU give Ohio State its 'Darkest Day'?

·

In 1987, the 3-1 Hoosiers traveled to Columbus, Ohio, to face the Buckeyes. While this year’s game is in Bloomington, the current Hoosiers can only hope the game result is the same.

Fire, brimstone and a couple chords

·

For those of you milling about Ballantine Hall and Woodburn Hall, you might have noticed a man with a guitar strapped over his shoulder preaching the Word of God. While students jeered and laughed, this man strummed and hummed. Well, it was more like shouting over some guitar chords that we were all sinners and were going to burn in Hell.

5 great songs that make Indiana home

·

Cornfields, the Indianapolis 500 and John Mellencamp are just three things I love about Indiana. True, the yearly ice storms and high heat indexes can be annoying, but Indiana is so unique in its given right. Whether you have been here your whole life or just the years you’ve spent at IU, Indiana is a home to us all.

College Round-Up

Briefs from colleges around the nation.



Go

Go club gathers to play ancient board game

·

Every summer since Jake Woollen was 8 years old, his family would vacation on an island off the coast of Maine. One of his neighbors on the island, a mathematician, wanted someone with whom to play a game called Go.

The wrong resolution

·

Whew. That was a close one. For a second there I thought it was going to spark wild partisan bickering and postpone serious debate over issues that actually matter. Oh, wait. It did.

Raising awareness

WE SAY Take Back the Night plays an important role in campus rape awareness.

News media blocked by pay walls

·

We’ve all heard the dire stories about the death of the newspaper, dwindling advertising revenues and depleted newsrooms. Moves like this are completely revenue based, but I think everyone knows what the news media is trying to do – it’s the why and how that confounds us.

Evil advertisements

·

At first it seems clever that the World Wide Web knows how to filter out what most appeals to you as a user, but the truth is not so innocent. Marketers are in fact tracking the online movements of millions of people who use the Internet and then sharing this information with Web sites who are willing to pay for the data.

Harry Potter’s library

·

Having about 20 distinct library locations on campus must seem like a waste of space and money to some, but the closing of the Geography and Map Library in the near future raises larger issues of library usage and importance.
