Mourners gather to celebrate Adams’ life

By Sara Amato · Sunday, June 10,2007 8:30 p.m.

Hearts will never be practical until they can be made unbreakable. Tony Sams, editorial adviser and production director at the Indiana Daily Student, explained at one point last week that many hearts were broken after the unexpected loss of IU Student Media Director David Adams, referring to a quote from “The Wizard of Oz,” one of Adams’ favorite movies.

Retirement policy still in place 5 years later

By Sara Amato · Sunday, June 10,2007 8:29 p.m.

Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Linguistics Paul Newman challenged IU’s policy on mandatory retirement five years ago when he became interested in a part-time position as associate dean of the faculties. Newman was told he was ineligible because he was too old.

Associate Director of Orientation Programs Melanie Payne explained that all orientation programs are two days, and there are 41 separate programs. Payne said Orientation helps acclimate students not only to campus but also to the services and programs IU offers.

NCAA shows academic inconsistency

By Jacob Stewart and Jake Stewart · Sunday, June 10,2007 8:11 p.m.

For many college students across the nation, three words were pounded continually into their heads so that they would never forget them until they passed them on to their own children. School comes first. School comes first. School comes first. But for others, academics took a backseat to athletics. The field came before the classroom, the ball before the books.

Anarchy 101

By Grace Low · Sunday, June 10,2007 7:03 p.m.

Between rowdy G-8 protestors in Germany and the Basque separatist group ETA announcing an end to their already tenuous cease-fire in Spain, the hard eye of public scrutiny has been turned once more to the concept of anarchy.

Smuggy suburbs

By Abby Schwimmer and Ab Schwimmer · Sunday, June 10,2007 7:03 p.m.

By the year 2050, the world’s population is expected to top 9 billion. “So what’s another few billion folks?” you might ask. Well, that’s quite a lot of people to compete for the finite number of resources the earth has to offer - especially land.

Stepping down

By Jacob Stewart and Jake Stewart · Sunday, June 10,2007 7:03 p.m.

Every year, high school students across the nation celebrate their achievement of admission into IU. For many Indiana residents who throughout their childhood heard about our beloved school’s legacy and prestige, they find perhaps no greater thrill than the opportunity to attend college in Bloomington. But residents across the state are having greater difficulty making this dream a reality. As admissions standards begin to rise, Indiana public school systems seem to be lacking in preparatory methods.

San Quentin Hilton

By Colleen Carroll · Sunday, June 10,2007 7:03 p.m.

If you’ve been conscious the past six years, you probably hate Paris Hilton. In fact, you so despise her and her ornament of a Chihuahua, you were thrilled to see her sentenced to jail time, regardless of the crime.

I 'R' U

Sunday, June 10,2007 6:49 p.m.

The Scarlet Knights of Rutgers University have a lot to be proud of this year, which is a unique feeling for a school that hasn’t won a national championship since 1949 – and for fencing at that. Their women’s basketball team was thrust into the national spotlight for their run to the national championship and for their unshakable poise after shock-jock Don Imus called the squad a bunch of “nappy headed hoes.” Even more impressive was the perennially unremarkable football team, which fought to win their first bowl game since, oh, the beginning of recorded history or so.

Kinsey Institute will miss Dave Adams

Thursday, June 7,2007 2:10 p.m.

To the staff at the IDS: We at The Kinsey Institute wish to express our sorrow at the passing of David Adams. David was such a tremendous asset to the IDS and to the entire community of student media. He gave us tremendous support in our work in communicating about sexual health and sex information to college students, encouraging us to publish Kinsey Confidential in the IDS, and promoting the column to other student newspapers around the country.

Am I not a feminist?

Thursday, June 7,2007 2:09 p.m.

I am afraid that Anna Piontek’s article (Feminists For ... What?, May 31) has only contributed to the confusion regarding feminism. Feminism is not simply, and vaguely, about equality.

The value of specialty plates

Thursday, June 7,2007 2:09 p.m.

In reference to the editorial “In Us We (should) Trust” (April 27): the Bloomington Herald-Times also ran details on the story on April 23 and 24 along with numerous reader comments e-mailed in to that newspaper.
