A U.S. District Court judge in Indianapolis will hear arguments in a civil rights lawsuit filed against IU by the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform.

Upon hearing the words "ballroom dancing," one might form a mental picture of huge banquets or balls in the 19th century or vaguely recall the waltz from seventh grade gym class. But at IU, the art of these classic dances is still alive.

Former IU women's basketball coach Jim Izard filed a federal discrimination complaint Thursday against IU, claiming his dismissal was based on his gender. This claim is without merit.

This column, written by leaders of the IU College Republicans and IU College Democrats, features a different topic each week discussed from each organization's own perspective.

And aren't athletes, being representatives of the University, expected to operate to a higher standard than other students? So shouldn't the president and trustees be expected to operate at an even higher standard?
All right, enough is enough. This is ridiculous. Fraternities and sororities have taken enough abuse from this University. We understand that alcohol is a big problem on many campuses across the country, but how much more flack are we going to have to take for it? The University has cracked down on the greek system way too hard.
The Boys Scouts' anti-gay policy has recently been defended by Randy Brown, executive of the Hoosier Trails Council. It isn't really discriminatory, he claims, because the Scouts want leaders who will exemplify their values about abstinence before marriage and fidelity during it.
I am writing about the skateboarding ordinance recently passed by the Bloomington Common Council. I would like to remark that this is something that perhaps IU should consider also.
