·

Last week, Republican Gov. Mitch Daniels announced a proposal to make higher education more accessible to lower-income Hoosier families. Meeting with officials from Indiana colleges and universities, Daniels said he wants the state to provide $6,000 to students pursuing higher education from families that make less than $54,000 annually. That figure is the median income in Indiana, meaning that the funding could potentially provide many middle- and lower-income students with access to valuable education and skills training.

IU suffers 4-game sweep by Nittany Lions

·

A four-game sweep certainly could not have been what the IU baseball team envisioned when it headed to Penn State looking to break a five-game losing streak. But the bad became worse for the Hoosiers as the Nittany Lions sank IU (15-22, 4-12) further into the Big Ten cellar.
