Oil addiction

By Abby Schwimmer and Ab Schwimmer · Sunday, Nov. 11,2007 7:45 p.m.

As a fairly healthy 20-year-old, I never really thought I would have to worry about having a heart attack for at least another 30 years or so. But last week, when I crossed 10th Street and saw “$3.15” emblazoned across the sign at the Citgo, I almost had a massive coronary.

Tune out, drop out

By Brian J. McFillen · Sunday, Nov. 11,2007 7:41 p.m.

As usual, your generation is poised to let everyone down. A recent report by the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement and the Charles F. Kettering Foundation has concluded that the Millennial Generation (people born after 1985) is disinterested in national, partisan politics, but is just gagging to get involved with local civic initiatives. The survey of 386 students at 12 campuses, in 47 focus groups found that unlike Generation X – my own generation, surveyed by the Kettering Foundation in 1993 (and given a much better name) – you Millennials are “neither cynical nor highly individualistic” and “seek ways to engage politically,” if not in polarized, party-politics terms.

The continuing trend with the stars seems to be dating young. But it’s not a completely new idea. A few pioneers have paved a path for the new souls trying to rejuvenate their inner child by dating 15 years younger.

From City Hall to Assembly Hall

Sunday, Nov. 11,2007 7:37 p.m.

Students are apathetic. Students just don’t give a damn. Students are not active enough in their communities. Yeah, we know – we’ve heard it before. And we’re hearing it again, after last Tuesday’s less than impressive student turnout for Bloomington’s municipal elections. Wait, there were elections? Yep. And the results are in: We’ve kept the same mayor, and our city government is dominated by the Dems … no thanks to you.

From french fries to falafels

By Chelsea Merta · Saturday, Nov. 10,2007 3:28 p.m.

The spicy aromas of curry and ginger filled Indiana Memorial Union’s Alumni Hall on Thursday night, welcoming in nearly 800 students, faculty and community members to the first IU World’s Fare. Attendees were ushered into the hall, wielding tickets and cups provided to them by the sponsors. The Union Board Diversity Performance Committee, in collaboration with the Office of International Services and Office of the Vice President for International Affairs, also passed out cookbooks featuring the available cuisine at the fair, in addition to other dishes that were not prepared.
