Back of the bus

By Josh Kraus · Wednesday, Sept. 30,2009 10:20 p.m.

The soundtrack to the first few weeks of the semester is one of jarring ambulance sirens, where alcohol neophytes are frantically rushed from the dorms to the hospital. New students stroll the unfamiliar streets twirling lanyards while cocksure upperclassmen yell “freshmen” from their speeding cars. Freshmen get ripped-off by paying California prices for Indiana pot. Fortunately, most annoyances recede relatively quickly, except for one: students who won’t move to the back of the bus.

That movie was so fascist

By Ashley Ames · Wednesday, Sept. 30,2009 10:18 p.m.

Missing the point

By Jarrod Lowery · Wednesday, Sept. 30,2009 10:16 p.m.

Democrats just don’t get it. Neither do Republicans, for that matter. That’s right. As if the record deficits, half-hearted military efforts and endless scandals of recent decades weren’t proof enough, our political leaders have decided to prove they can’t focus on what matters when it comes to health care either.

Toy Story 3D

Cine'cism

By Brian Welk · Wednesday, Sept. 30,2009 10:15 p.m.

Why are they doing this to us? Why is Disney mocking us by re-releasing the first two “Toy Story” films in theaters? Both of the classics are now being reissued in 3-D, and with it comes the increased ticket price, and for any true lovers of the franchise, some potential lawsuits.RealD 3-D can be remarkably artistic when applied in films like “Coraline,” an unnecessary, yet glamorous distraction in “Monsters vs. Aliens” and a noticeable, but otherwise inconsequential addition to films like “Up.”

By Drew Allen · Wednesday, Sept. 30,2009 11:45 a.m.

Compared to the 125 years of football or 108 years of basketball, the University’s volleyball program is still in its early childhood. However, IU volleyball has slowly but surely displayed signs of emergence among its fellow university sports teams as it enters its 34th season.
