Climbing the business ladder

By Heather Haemker · Monday, Oct. 29,2007 10 p.m.

A profession in business used to primarily be a career for men, but with the economy constantly changing, more women are beginning business-related careers. Though women are still a minority in the field, IU’s Women in Business club is working to change that.

Nourishment for your workout

By Allison Hendricks · Monday, Oct. 29,2007 9:44 p.m.

Although we all love eating, there is another side of being healthy besides making good food choices: exercise. I wish we all had the metabolism of those girls walking around in their leggings while chugging whipped-up Starbucks Frappuccinos (which are not good for you, by the way – steer clear), but most of us are not so lucky.

Too soon to study abroad

Monday, Oct. 29,2007 7:08 p.m.

Freshman year can be a difficult but incredible experience. Although some certainly adjust better than others, most freshmen are able to get to know their school and the people in it pretty well. Imagine, however, if this adjustment had to take place during someone’s sophomore year. As more universities are sending students abroad in their first year it seems it will be the fate of more and more freshmen to spend a year enrolled in a university without really knowing how it fits them.

Counsel from camp

By Mike Abrams · Monday, Oct. 29,2007 7:05 p.m.

It’s one great week. No, it is not Little 500 week. It’s not Welcome week. It is not the week of Hanukkah or the first week of summer. It’s not even a full week. Rather, it is five great days, and it happens in a little place called Morgantown. This is the week of camp for all the people involved with Camp Kesem – a free, week-long camp for kids whose parents have or have had cancer. It is a week away from the difficulties at home, and it gives these kids a chance to be just that: kids.

Fearless joy

By Grace Low · Monday, Oct. 29,2007 7 p.m.

In the hustle-bustle competitive existence of academia, it’s vitally important to enjoy the simple things. Taking time to smell the roses isn’t just a kitschy cliche; it’s essential to a joyful existence. An impromptu coffee date with an old friend, a pre-class Runcible Spoon breakfast, a deep breath of crisp fall air. These are the things that keep me going in the midst of personal disasters and unbearable class stress. They remind me that things are honestly not that bad.

What not to wear

By Scott Leadingham · Monday, Oct. 29,2007 6:59 p.m.

The students in the class for which I am a teaching assistant asked me a rather interesting question: Why is J.K. Rowling’s Dumbledore character gay? After an awkward explanation of the birds and the bees, we moved forward with more relevant inquiries to the world of public affairs, such as why Sen. Larry Craig is gay?

IU drops 4th Big Ten game

By Tom Kir · Monday, Oct. 29,2007 12:28 a.m.

The Hoosiers were dealt their worst defeat of the season, falling 33-3 at Wisconsin. The loss drops IU to 5-4, 2-4 on the year and puts its season-long goal of playing in a bowl game – once a seeming certainty – into serious jeopardy.

By Chelsea Merta · Monday, Oct. 29,2007 12:26 a.m.

Thousands of students, community members, international visitors and monks flocked to Assembly Hall Saturday afternoon for a chance to hear the Dalai Lama deliver his final message to Bloomington. As the audience gave the Dalai Lama a standing ovation before he appeared, dozens of monks stood silent as they waited for their spiritual leader to walk on stage.
