Enviable place, unenviable time

By Erich Reinhard · Sunday, July 20,2008 3:32 p.m.

I know more than a few IU folks from the Chicago area. I use the term “area” because I wouldn’t want to spoil the racy feeling one gets by saying they’re from Chicago, when in truth they happen to be from Evanston, Arlington Heights or somewhere else on the unfashionable “outskirts” of the city.

Bound for nowhere

Sunday, July 20,2008 3:30 p.m.

Our past stories sung its praises, but they didn’t have to – the statistics told the same story. Upward Bound, a government-created, national education program, was doing great work. It took high school students from low-income families, who would be the first in their families to attend college, and brought them to a University to introduce them to college through visits, tours and coursework.

Illusion of privacy

By Rob Bermingham · Sunday, July 20,2008 3:27 p.m.

Just a friendly reminder: Be careful about what you put on Facebook. Last week an 18-year-old Philadelphian decided it would be a good idea to brag about his drug use, and use his mugshot as his profile picture on MySpace after he killed one person and injured another with his vehicle while he was under the influence. As a result, police officers attained a search warrant and confiscated multiple items, including his computer.

Parenting problems

By Julia Boriss · Sunday, July 20,2008 3:25 p.m.

"Honey, get out of that sewage pipe!” This is the call I heard from an exasperated young mother in the park a few days ago. “It’s just muddy water and stones!” her son called back. “No sweetie, it’s sewage. Do you know what sewage is?” The mom then proceeded to get on her hands and knees to pull her child out of the tantalizing opening of the sewage tunnel. I tried to picture what I would do in this mom’s situation. I couldn’t picture myself crawling into sewage to rescue my child. Instead I saw myself watching on from a nearby lawn chair, laughing in resignation and maybe helplessly shouting out some vague suggestion like “try not to swallow any.”

Drawing the lines

By Jacob Levin · Sunday, July 20,2008 3:22 p.m.

In preparation for my upcoming year in China, I’ve been meeting with native speakers to help improve my Mandarin. Even though our topics of conversation are admittedly only vessels for a richer vocabulary and more accurate grammar, it speaks to my seemingly inborn knack for strife that the conversation usually turns to politics.
