Putting fans first?

By Jacob Levin · Tuesday, Jan. 15,2008 8:33 p.m.

If you’ve watched more than five seconds of TV this month, you’ve seen advertisements against the Big Ten Network.

Comcast and the network are currently locked in negotiations – Comcast wants the network to be a subscription service, but the network wants to be included in general programming.

Eco swift boats

By Chase Cooper · Tuesday, Jan. 15,2008 9:21 a.m.

The 2004 presidential election added a new word to the national vocabulary: swiftboat. I’d define “swiftboat” like this: responding to exaggerations with facts in order to promote an agenda.

During my four years at IU, I have had the chance to speak to hundreds of entrepreneurs. I have met with everyone from the owners of mom-and-pop shops to very successful alumni like Mark Cuban.

If walking were an Olympic event, IU would be Greece. Students have all made the long treks between Ballantine Hall, the stadium, various residence halls, the Indiana Memorial Union, Kirkwood and beyond. But is walking keeping us healthy?

By Lindsey Landis · Monday, Jan. 14,2008 11:13 p.m.

BOLOGNA, Italy – Cars probably didn’t drive across the stage at the Vienna premiere of Christoph Willibald Gluck’s opera “Orphee et Eurydice.” I am also willing to bet the audience would have been shocked if the parts of the firemen were played by young men in red patent leather bodysuits.
