The intersection of 17th Street and Fee Lane is just one area in Bloomington that has been a headache for drivers during the summer months. The city of Bloomington and IU have worked together to fix the area in time for the fall semester.

In the Monday, Aug. 4 edition of the IDS, guest columnist Ellis Latham-Brown lamented that People’s Park is still not family-friendly, although he is very pleased that the rest of Kirkwood has been “cleaned up.” He mentions that “most of the seedy establishments that once lined this street – The Den, for example – have been replaced by posh boutiques and upper-scale eateries.”
Traditional imagery depicts universities as institutions throwing open the floodgates of knowledge for their students. But after a photo from his July Fourth boating excursion surfaced, it seems Iowa Central Community College President Robert Paxton is more practiced at filling young people with beer than with learning. In the contentious photo, Paxton appears to be holding the tap on a keg of beer open directly above a young woman’s mouth. Lucky for his career, the only Iowa Central Community College student aboard the boat was his own son, who only attended the school the year before. Moreover, an Iowa Central trustee has come forward to agree with Paxton’s argument that because the party took place outside campus and working hours, it is strictly a private matter.

Online radio giant Pandora.com has recently announced that it will likely go out of business. For any subscriber, this is unfortunate news. And for those who haven’t heard of it yet, Pandora is an online radio station. However, unlike what you would hear over FM or even satellite radio, Pandora is able to tailor its playlist to each user.

Before the start of the brutal Democratic primary earlier this year, I would hardly have called myself a Hillary Clinton supporter. Like many liberals, I found her political positions to be extremely self-serving, and her vote for the Iraqi invasion was unforgivable. So, it seems like a strange turn of events that I would offer a defense for the New York senator today.
