Enrollment is second largest

·

Aside from being deemed the smartest IU has ever seen, the class of 2011 is also the largest. This year’s record number of freshmen only helped contribute to IU-Bloomington’s record enrollment, a total of 38,990 students, which is a 1.9 percent increase from last year. This is the second largest University enrollment on record.

A day to remember

·

It was a cool September day in 2001 when hijackers seized four planes and took thousands of lives. The weather Tuesday reminded one girl of the conditions that fateful day as she shared her Sept. 11 experience with a crowd in front of McNutt Quad. Between 150 and 200 students gathered at the residence hall for a candlelight vigil to remember the sixth anniversary of the tragedy.

IU uses YouTube to promote campus life

·

YouTube popularized animations, such as “Charlie the Unicorn,” and gave “Muffins” a whole new flavor. But the University Office of Creative Services thinks it can be used persuade high school students to attend IU.

Happiness in the warm sun

·

The best way to sum up my weekend in New York – celebrating and working during Fashion Week – is to tell you about a phone conversation I had Sunday. It was about 2 p.m., and I was walking down 10th Avenue near 25th Street.

Driving down Fee Lane

If you haven’t visited the IU Office of the Bursar Web site at www.bursar.indiana.edu yet, you’re in for a real treat. This site allows you to access information about all the fees involved in attending IU. This eclectic bunch includes such old standards as admission application fees, activity fees, transportation fees and technology fees. Not to mention our old friends orientation, transcript retrieval and ID card replacement. And we can’t forget about drop/add access!

Should IU run background checks?

I was more than vaguely disturbed to read last week that the Indiana Memorial Union chooses not to run criminal background checks on all potential employees.

ONLINE ONLY: Comfortably numb

·

I walk almost everywhere that I go on campus. I don’t have a car or a bike, and I hate waiting for the buses, so walking is my only option. The other day I had to walk from Franklin Hall to Willkie – not a short jaunt by any means.

Flora, fauna and foreigners

·

There’s an interesting exhibit in the zoo in Nairobi, Kenya. It has recreated an authentic Starbucks-like environment where real live Caucasians straight from America tell all about their encounters in the daily grind of the urban jungle.

Right this way...

My new weekly column is written primarily for three types of people: 1. Rich Republicans. 2. Compassionate conservatives. 3. Anyone who hopes to one day belong to either or both of the first two categories.
