Stretch yourself

By Matt Peyton · Tuesday, April 24,2007 12 a.m.

So this week I was thinking back to my first yoga class. It was a little rough. First, there was trying to find the room in the rat maze they call the Wildermuth Intramural Center. Then there was making sure I wasn’t the only guy in the class. And finally, trying to learn the stuff but not be “that guy,” that so many of my friends warned me about. (I was supposed to try, but not too hard. Be good, but not too good, etc.)

The trust funds for Social Security and Medicare will last a year longer than previously estimated, trustees said Monday. That means 2041 for the Social Security trust fund to be exhausted and 2019 for Medicare. In their annual report on the financial health of the government’s two biggest benefit programs, the trustees said that slight reductions in projected benefits and slightly higher tax collections had extended the dates that the trust funds are projected to be depleted.

Power of one

By Abby Schwimmer and Ab Schwimmer · Tuesday, April 24,2007 12 a.m.

They say that hindsight is 20/20. In light of the recent massacre at Virginia Tech, it seems this is becoming the case more and more in society. The numbers are overwhelming, to say the very least: 33 dead, leaving a campus of 26,370 students reeling from the loss of their classmates and from the guilt that comes with the feeling that they should have been able to do something or should have seen the warning signs.

IU sophomores Jessica Kirsh and Kristen Cain compete in the annual Pudding Wrestling Tournament Friday afternoon at Terra Trace Apartments. The tournament ended later in the day when the pool was torn.

My last words: 4 seconds at IU

This is it. For four years I have dreamed about writing this article: my last column in college. First, some advice to the incoming freshmen: There are two things you should always have: a fake ID and shower sandals. Do not lose either.

Generation of Bush

By Scott Leadingham · Tuesday, April 24,2007 12 a.m.

"Huge brains, small necks, weak muscles and fat wallets – these are the dominant physical characteristics of the ‘80s, the generation of swine.” –Hunter S. Thompson I’d be overreaching the confines of my position as a know-it-all columnist if I claimed to be the next Hunter S. Thompson. Indeed, no one will ever graze Gonzo’s status as a revered, poignant and somewhat insane observer of society and politics.
