Academics vs. athletics

By Jacob Stewart and Jake Stewart · Monday, Oct. 22,2007 9:03 p.m.

This weekend’s homecoming football game painted a beautiful picture of IU, its athletics program and college sports throughout the NCAA. From the young to the old, the bachelor to the family man, the student to the alumnus, Hoosier nation turned out to support the Crimson and Cream. Even some of the academically inclined, who usually have no interest in IU football, could be found on this one day among the crowd cheering for the Hoosiers.

Letters from Abroad

By Lindsey Landis · Monday, Oct. 22,2007 8:17 p.m.

BOLOGNA, Italy – I have always thought that the winter season and a good sense of fashion were mutually exclusive until I moved here. When the temperature drops, my wardrobe usually consists of leggings under ripped jeans and an assortment of my boyfriend’s sweatshirts. Style takes a backseat to the need to stay toasty.

Failing lab safety

By Alyson Brodsy · Monday, Oct. 22,2007 6:21 p.m.

Recently, employees in university research facilities across the country have been exposed to bubonic plague, monkeypox and anthrax. In another case, Texas A&M has been scrutinized for the security (or lack thereof) of its biological agents in biodefense labs. Overall, these events are just a few of the more than 50 incidents involving agents that are federally regulated microbes and toxins. According to the Government Accountability Office, in 2007 alone, there have been 37 incidents through August.

Me like sports

By Scott Leadingham · Monday, Oct. 22,2007 6:20 p.m.

Recent reports to The Leading Edge’s investigatory team (which includes my mother and CNN’s Nancy Grace) indicate increased activity over the weekend on campus. Not wanting to let such reports go unchecked, I combed the city for clues of the alleged activity. After painstakingly examining every possible piece of evidence in the style of a true crime scene investigator wannabe (gosh, Gil Grissom on “CSI” is so cool!), I can safely conclude that something of significance did, in fact, take place this past weekend. Apparently much of what occurred centered around some sort of athletic contest.

Babies having babies

By Grace Low · Monday, Oct. 22,2007 6:20 p.m.

I have a little brother. He is 14 years old, a freshman in high school and actively involved in sports and social activities. He’s a popular kid with an extensive, mixed-gender group of peers, and I really don’t ever want to think of him having sex. Ew, he’s still just a little boy. Frankly, no one in an authority position wants to think about the sexual lives of young teens and pre-teens, because they are children and we want to believe they are still behaving as children.

Hoosier spirit filled Alumni Hall as student groups from across campus gathered for “Yell Like Hell,” performing songs, skits, dances and anything downright silly to hype up the student body for Homecoming.
