IU's underground

By Whitney Mitchell · Wednesday, March 28,2007 12 a.m.

Deep beneath IU’s campus is an underground world that many have heard of but few have experienced. It’s possible to walk from Third Street to the Indiana Memorial Union without seeing the light of day or to enter buildings in the Old Crescent undetected. Commonly known as “the tunnels”, the underground passage system was created for utility purposes, but IU students have made them something of legend throughout the years. They were constructed more than 100 years ago and now carry steam lines, voice and data communications, medium and high voltage and chilled water for air conditioning purposes, said Jeff Kaden, an engineer for the IU Physical Plant. Though the tunnels are unsafe, some IU students have made it their prerogative to discover this underground campus. “These tunnels are extremely dangerous and are in no ways meant for pedestrian use,” Kaden said. “It’s extremely hot and the air is full of asbestos. There are sharp corners of piping and support. There are some places where the piping isn’t even covered and you could easily get burns or other injuries.”

Laundry is awkward

By Julia Boriss · Wednesday, March 28,2007 12 a.m.

As you walk to the laundry room of your dorm with your detergent in one hand and three weeks worth of dirty laundry squeezing out of your mesh bag in the other, I hope that you also carry with you a high tolerance for awkwardness. Because doing laundry in the dorms is about as comfortable as grinding against strangers on the A bus on rainy days.
