The long arm of J-board

By Alyson Brodsy · Wednesday, Sept. 13,2006 5:30 p.m.

In the first 2 1/2 weeks of the semester, police arrested or cited 150 students for various offenses related to alcohol consumption. Their cases are currently making their way through Monroe County's justice system, but students will soon have to face justice from IU as well. According to Part II, Section H 26 of the Code of Student Rights, Rules, and Responsibilities, the University may discipline a student for any violation of Indiana or federal law. Students charged with violating this code will be scheduled a judicial conference where they will face anything from a warning to special judicial sanctions to expulsion from the University.

It's time to write a letter.

By Jackie Faine and Jacqueline Faine · Wednesday, Sept. 13,2006 12:08 a.m.

Wouldn't that be crazy? Wouldn't IU coach Mike Freitag be jumping for joy like a little kid on Christmas morning?

GOP Rebel

By Alyson Brodsy and Waddell Hamer · Tuesday, Sept. 12,2006 11:33 p.m.

In a year when the debacles of the president and the nation's leading Republicans might have finally caught up to them and might lead to the Democrats finally getting their chance to screw up the House, I find it surprising that the most important race this year might not be a national election.

Osama bin Laden remains free 5 years later

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Sept. 12,2006 11:30 p.m.

Since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, the past five years have been marked with the United States' failure to capture the man who orchestrated the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon: Osama bin Laden.
