Finding the perfect workout mix

By Emily Campion · Tuesday, Sept. 16,2008 11:34 p.m.

So there I was, bicycling, getting nowhere fast. That’s right, I was at the HPER working out between two rather buff men who periodically glanced at the screen on my stationary bicycle to make sure they were pedaling faster and burning more calories than a 5-foot-3, 110-pound girl.

Face (book) news

By Ayesha Awan · Tuesday, Sept. 16,2008 10:11 p.m.

I like reading the news, and I browse through it online with the kind of gusto you’d expect from an ex-journalism major.  This takes less and less time each day. As the presidential election draws closer, an increasing proportion of the news is dedicated to either hating on the candidates (Barack Obama’s a member of al-Qaida), loving the candidates (leave Bristol Palin, her baby daddy and her love child alone) or providing irrelevant information about the candidates (do you really want Sarah Palin’s recipe for caribou hotdogs?).

Females and football

Tuesday, Sept. 16,2008 10:10 p.m.

Watching the Sunday and Monday football games gets me pumped and ready for football season. As a female who has worked at the IU football games through last year and for this year to come, I can admit that I am very into football. I am someone who feels passionate for all sports, and I look forward to this year’s basketball season as well. But recently when I was at a restaurant, my friend and I sat next to two old-timers who happened to have a different opinion on my love for football.

For information, feed yourself

By DJ Funkhouser · Tuesday, Sept. 16,2008 10:09 p.m.

This August, I felt people probably had their presidential picks in mind, so I began informally asking people who they were voting for and why. I got a milieu of responses: “I’m voting for Obama because he could be the first black president,” “I think McCain is honest” and “I want change.” I was shocked. All these reasons seemed shallow. In fact, I felt sick. Their vote counts? So I asked one of them, “Well OK, what about health care? Why do you like Obama’s plan?” This lady’s response was, “He’ll modernize it.”

Open the doors to ROTC

Tuesday, Sept. 16,2008 10:08 p.m.

There are very few issues with which Republicans and Democrats can agree. But even Barack Obama and John McCain both agree that ROTC programs should be allowed on all university campuses. Regardless of your stance on military policy, one should acknowledge that these programs not only help college students pay for their education, but also create opportunities for them to grow into future leaders and potential problem solvers.

The Lib Test

By Chase Cooper · Tuesday, Sept. 16,2008 10:06 p.m.

Like most of you, I’ve had a great time starting another school year. I love being a student, and I especially love being here at IU. But unfortunately, entering college is a time when millions of students across the country identify themselves as liberals for the first time. Many of them languish for years in this sad state of mind until they get jobs and start paying taxes – some even remain liberals all their lives.
