IU announced Wednesday it will be offering students free Adobe software. The software became available after the University entered into an agreement with Adobe.
Not everyone knows that on this dry campus there are places that are allowed to get moderately “wet.” The policy of alcohol not being allowed on campus is one that Dean of Students Dick McKaig said cannot be found in any University document.
Fresh off games against two nationally ranked opponents and on the cusp of a nationally televised game against rival Kentucky, the Hoosiers’ seemingly easier contest tonight against TCU could be considered a dangerous game for the typical IU basketball team. But as IU men’s basketball coach Tom Crean has reiterated throughout the season, this year’s team is anything but typical.BLOG: Basketblog
Idaho Sen. Larry Craig has lost his latest attempt to withdraw his guilty plea in the Minneapolis airport men’s room sex sting that effectively ended his Senate career.
Congress and the White House struggled to clear the final obstacles on a $15 billion bailout of the auto industry on Tuesday, seeking agreement by day’s end followed by swift passage.
Pakistan has intensified its crackdown on a militant group suspected in the Mumbai terror attacks by arresting 20 more people but will not hand any of its citizens over to India, officials said Tuesday.
When Courtney Wennerstrom found out about the fire at Delilah’s Pet Shop and the subsequent fundraising efforts from a class campaign called Dollars for Delilah’s, she said she felt awful.
Different definitions of equity caused enough agitation between IU’s culture centers and the office they report to that a meeting was called to clear the air of lingering misunderstandings.
For most of the first half, the Butler Bulldogs were a pest the Hoosiers couldn’t get rid of. The eventually overmatched Bulldogs (3-5) stayed within single digits until 3:35 left in the first half when senior Amber Jackson’s layup put the Hoosiers (6-2) up by 10. The Hoosiers then went on a 14-1 run to end the half. They led at halftime 39-20, and went on to win their fifth in a row defeating Butler 63-41. “This was a team effort, team win and it’s really exciting to see our team play together,” IU coach Felisha Legette-Jack said. “We put in subs today, and you really couldn’t tell the starters from the subs because everyone really contributed.”
Tuesday’s arrest of Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich came as no surprise to many on IU’s campus.PODCAST: Hoosier Headlines
Thanks, Rick Greenspan. I know many Hoosier fans count down the days until the current director of athletics is relieved of his duties by Indianapolis attorney Fred Glass in January due to the turbulent events of the Greenspan era. I, too, am looking forward to Greenspan’s departure, but he should be thanked for the improvements he made to IU athletics.
Hoosier fans’ emotions have run the gamut with this young team, haven’t they? So far, we’ve seen blowouts both ways, good performances, bad performances, close wins that should have been larger and lots and lots of turnovers. Tonight, there’s a definite chance we’ll be adding “home loss” to that list.
I’ve been a columnist since the fall semester of 2005, my very first semester at IU. Since then, I’ve been an ardent opponent of what the IDS opinion editors like to refer to as “the diary column.”
Many of the turnovers IU has committed this season have been self-inflicted. As one Basketblog reader quipped last week, the Hoosiers just can’t seem to stop shooting themselves in the thigh. Of the 330 Division I men’s basketball teams, the Hoosiers rank No. 327 in turnovers per game at 20.3. In turnover margin, the Hoosiers are No. 276. Through eight games, the Hoosiers have turned the ball over more than their opponents in all but one of the contests. On Nov. 26 against Chaminade, a D-II school, IU committed a season-low 11 turnovers. But when they haven’t been playing the Silverswords, the 4-4 Hoosiers have struggled immensely to take care of the ball. IU coach Tom Crean’s young squad has committed 20 turnovers or more in six games this season. Last year, the Hoosiers turned the ball over 20 times or more only twice. Last year’s Crean-led Golden Eagles at Marquette accomplished the “feat” only once.
When Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich was told there were two FBI officers waiting with a warrant for his arrest, he asked if it was a joke. What is really a joke is that Blagojevich, who authorities believe was soliciting bribes for Barack Obama’s vacant Senate seat, considered giving himself the seat to set himself up for a presidential run in 2016. Thanks to Blagojevich, Barack Obama will likely be the last president from Illinois for quite a while. Kudos goes out to U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald and his impressive investigation, which involved wiretapping Blagojevich’s phone conversations as he detailed his own corruption. There are plenty of students from Illinois on this campus. Many will be surprised by this news, not because they thought Blagojevich was a good guy, but because they are used to corrupt politicians getting away with their illegal activities. Illinois’ last governor is in jail, though he didn’t see charges pressed against him until after he left office.
I know we can only have one president at a time, but it would be nice to have at least one in office right now.
I was very surprised and disheartened to read that there was an effort being made in an Indiana University class to raise money for Delilah’s pet shop.
My friend and I were returning from a satisfying Target run, and I was content with my new granola bars and the world at large – until I glimpsed out the window and saw her. The decorative seasonal sweater she donned exerted a serious negative externality for everyone forced to behold it.
Going into a new presidential administration, the best I could hope for my country is that the liberals who elected Barack Obama grow as frustrated with him as we conservatives have become with George W. Bush. Bush showed courage and true leadership in foreign policy, and I believe history will judge him as a great president for his protection of Americans in the midst of fierce political opposition in the post-9/11 global war on terror.
Hoosiers who like to avoid crowded strip malls and full parking lots during the holiday shopping season might try visiting the SoFA Gallery this week.
