The next time those red and blue flashing lights show up in the rearview mirror, there might be a “pony” tailing close behind. The Indiana State Police have recently acquired 18 new Ford Mustang GTs to patrol the roads.

'Stupid kids'

·

It’s not a new idea: The next generation is ignorant, and our world is going to sink into the pit under their watch. We get the picture.

Breaking the bank

·

I am officially broke. I’m slightly below the Ramen-noodles-only-diet poverty line, and recently even living on a dollar a day sounds lavish in comparison. But I’m sure I’m not the only part-time waitress, part-time student who has been feeling the heat recently – most students I know are a bit strapped for cash.

Elitist exercise

There is a park near an upscale neighborhood where my mom and I like to walk around and rate how wealthy each jogger looks on a 10-point scale.

Yearning to breathe free

It has been said that a society is judged ultimately by how it treats its most vulnerable members; we feel a special need to take care of our more susceptible citizens, especially children. However, Texas authorities were over-stepped their legal boundaries when they seized nearly 500 children from the Yearning for Zion ranch.

Train your man!

Monday evening I stood under a dark awning with my arms crossed, warming myself from the cold rain. I had been at the movies with my father and, along with all the other men, my dad had gone to get the car in the pouring rain. As I stood there waiting with a group of about half a dozen women, I saw one girl departing into the soaking wet parking lot with the hood of her sweatshirt pulled up over her head, walking alongside her boyfriend.

Georgetown guard set to transfer to IU

·

Statistics be damned. Jeremiah Rivers, a 6-foot-4-inch, 205-lb. guard from Winter Park, Fla., may have put up less than impressive numbers in his two seasons as a Georgetown Hoya, but he isn’t worried about the doubters who might have questioned IU coach Tom Crean’s decision to extend him a scholarship offer.
