Herb or Hops?

Tuesday, Sept. 12,2006 11:10 p.m.

In the past few months a Colorado-based nonprofit organization, Safer Alternative for Enjoyable Recreation, has incited proposals that have helped pass referenda asking campuses to lower marijuana penalties to carry the same severity as those for alcohol. The schools that have passed referenda include such major universities as the University of Colorado, Colorado State University, Florida State University and the University of Maryland. SAFER's goal is "to educate the public about the simple fact that marijuana is less harmful than alcohol" and hopes to continue the spread of such policies around the nation's universities. Our columnists debate the safety of marijuana compared to alcohol, the legal implications in Indiana and whether such a proposal should be made at IU.

By Abby Schwimmer and Ab Schwimmer · Tuesday, Sept. 12,2006 11:02 p.m.

Late Friday morning, Bloomington Transit bus number 553 rolled by the Indiana Memorial Union. Upon first glance, it looked like any other bus.

TOUGH TICKET$

By Eamonn Brennan · Tuesday, Sept. 12,2006 2:09 p.m.

IU sophomore Matt Barr has some big requests for IU basketball. Very simply, he'd like new facilities, top recruits, a successful, respected coach and a winning team. Anything else? Well, he'd like cheaper, closer seats. Maybe a student section, too. Is that too much to ask?
