Criminal offense

Thursday, Jan. 24,2008 9:02 p.m.

It might not be a shock to most of us that sporting events can spike the amount of violence in a college town. All we need to do is take a look at sports riots to see that the tribal spirit of sports leads to rather unsavory behavior. We have always supposed that the drunken brawling after the Hoosiers lost a football game came from the natural fighting quality in our Hoosier blood, roused by the excitement of our inexplicably bowl-bound team. Rarely, however, have we looked directly at the results of the home game on crime statistics to see whether our perceptions of the connection are true. Luckily, some nerds in Colorado did.

Let's talk about sex

By Rachel Goldberg · Thursday, Jan. 24,2008 8:59 p.m.

This is my first column as an opinion writer, and therefore I’ve felt a lot of pressure to pick the right topic and make you think I’m intelligent, or at the very least, convince you that I’m super funny and attractive so you’ll continue reading my column. But the topic I want to pursue today, luckily for me, pretty much sells itself.

Empire, American style

By Rachel Goldberg and Robert Granger · Thursday, Jan. 24,2008 8:52 p.m.

Five or six years ago, I was reading the newspaper and watching the analysts on television news programs discuss how the United States was trying to build an “empire.” I was fairly young at the time, but I knew how foolish and ignorant this all sounded.

Keep your Trapper

By Julia Boriss · Thursday, Jan. 24,2008 8:27 p.m.

Last semester I was in class, napping on my arms, when suddenly my REM cycle was interrupted by the sound of an unnecessarily heavy object thrown down on the table beside me. When I raised my head, I found myself suddenly eye to eye with an old friend from the past: the Trapper Keeper.

Reading a lifetime

By Audrie Garrison · Thursday, Jan. 24,2008 1:34 p.m.

Thirty-eight years ago, the building that houses the IU Bookstore’s second location didn’t exist. In that time, a check-cashing store out of the third floor of the bookstore’s Indiana Memorial Union location came and went. None of the IU memorabilia the store sold made any mention of the men’s basketball team’s 1976, 1981 and 1987 national championships – they were nothing but wishful thoughts. Barnes and Noble had nothing to do with the store – it was solely operated by IU. But there was always Paul Hazel.
