WIUX makes move to new frequency

·

WIUX fans need not fear any longer – the radio station will stay on the FM dial. The station jumped from 100.3 FM to 99.1 FM on June 4, after WYGB, a Columbus, Ind., country station, moved to 100.3 FM, ending months of negotiations with the Federal Communications Commission.

News blues

·

One of the tough realities about the news media is that while journalistic ideals dictate that you try to inform the public about important things – things they need to know about – what pays the bills is reporting things they want to know about. Although the latter might be interesting, it’s generally unimportant.

Phil’s Phorgotten Phailure

·

Dear Mr. Phillip Mickelson, Remember June 18, 2006? Of course you remember. How could you forget? You will never forget that Sunday. It was late afternoon and you were walking off the 17th green. You had a one-shot lead with one hole to play. You were four measly strokes away from winning the U.S. Open Championship, a title you had dreamed of winning since childhood.

Career minded

·

Half the people I know are MIA for the summer, having fallen victim to the internship gods who demand loud and clear that it doesn’t matter what you’re doing in that power suit as long as it’s something.

41st annual bluegrass festival in Bean Blossom begins

·

The twang of a banjo, the pluck of the guitar and the experience of a lifetime is music to the ears of Bill Monroe Bean Blossom Bluegrass Festival attendees. Campsites extend for miles, vendors are plentiful and music is always playing, while people from all over the country reconnect and reminisce during the annual meeting.

Conspiracy theory: I-69

·

If there is a weird theory out there – whether it concerns the assassination of JFK, the virginity of Jesus’ mom, or the whereabouts of some undiscovered Nazi gold – you can bet my dad believes it. He is a conspiracy theorist. There are two ways to look at life: either things happen for a reason or they don’t. People of a postmodern persuasion, such as myself on normal occasions, tend to believe the latter.

Vergin’ on Trouble?

·

In the movie “Saved!” starring super-talent Mandy Moore, a pregnancy-troubled teenage girl named Mary, the film’s protagonist, makes a remark about the biblical Mary’s virgin birth that I’ve always thought solid:

Vanquish identity theft

How much would you say you download in a single week? Not just music. Count all the pictures, movies and assorted documents you find while stumbling around The Internet. Don’t forget the links your friends send you in instant messages, which more often than not direct you to some hacker’s Web site in Russia instead of a buddy’s MySpace page. There’s no telling how much you download; you probably don’t notice most of it.

The world’s other great college weekend

·

What would college sports be like without scholarships, alumni, multimillion-dollar facilities or coaches who rake in more per year than state governors? What if college sports were exclusively for the students? Would the competition be as fierce? Would the students cheer as hard? Would the outcome even matter?

Fear is a myth

An amazing friend and mentor to all of us here at the Indiana Daily Student passed away Saturday. David Adams, director of student media, died from causes yet unknown. His job title and description cannot begin to describe the many duties this great man did for student media nationwide.
