News for the rich

By Ayesha Awan · Tuesday, Oct. 2,2007 7:22 p.m.

I don’t like to cry wolf. I see absolutely no racism or discrimination involved in any of O.J. Simpson’s multiple arrests over the years. That goes for the charges against him for the murders of his estranged wife and her boyfriend, and his latest charges of burglary, kidnapping and assault in Las Vegas.

Happy feet

By Indira Dammu · Tuesday, Oct. 2,2007 7:21 p.m.

Airports have been getting a bad rap lately, what with all the plane delays and foot-tapping routines in public restrooms. In better days, they were a good place to catch up with the latest issue of People magazine. Now, they are fast becoming battlegrounds over mundane things like the establishment clause. Last year, the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport removed all Christmas trees in the display areas after a local rabbi insisted on putting up an electronic menorah.

Education or indoctrination?

By Chase Cooper · Tuesday, Oct. 2,2007 7:19 p.m.

"I just visited some on-campus culture centers for various heritages and cultural groups. Could you point me toward the White Culture Center?” That’s a question you’d likely hear from filmmaker Evan Coyne Maloney if he brought his camera to IU. He’s the creator of a new documentary called “Indoctrinate U.”

Barstool confidential

Maybe you’ve always thought you could have it both ways, but do your workouts at the SRSC three days a week really make up for those alcohol-soaked weekends of excess? While this health tug-of-war might be working in the interim, IU Health Center nutritionist Bobbie Saccone revealed to INside that the largest contributor to unwanted weight gain among college students is excessive drinking.

Black thongs, leather pants, and angel wings

By Colin Dugdale · Tuesday, Oct. 2,2007 11 a.m.

The ultimate goal of the parades is to instill a definite sense of self-worth within the gay community, which continues to face oppression and inequality. And yet, many people participating in the parade itself seem to be working against this goal, pushing our progression backwards as the parade marches ahead.

The No. 26 IU men’s golf team had another successful tournament weekend at the Olympia Fields/Illini Invitational in Olympia Fields, Ill.

Democratic candidate drops out of governor’s race Monday

By Associated Press and Alexandra R. Moses · Tuesday, Oct. 2,2007 12:01 a.m.

State Senate Minority Leader Richard Young, the first Democrat to join the 2008 race for governor, dropped out on Monday. Young, 64, said it would take at least $20 million to mount a successful race and he realized he could not raise that much. He also said that getting out would give the other two Democrats seeking the nomination — former U.S. Rep. Jill Long Thompson and Jim Schellinger, president of an Indianapolis architecture firm – more room to compete for the party’s nod.

Sex, drugs and major athletes

By Jacob Stewart and Jake Stewart · Monday, Oct. 1,2007 11:59 p.m.

Sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll. Since the Beatles released “Love Me Do” in 1962, those three words began a love affair that would develop and become a phrase that was socially accepted all over the world. Generation after generation of the music scene’s greatest artists have been under the influence of everything from marijuana to LSD and, in light of the resultant creativity, the social crackdown on drug use is limited. But has the social acceptance of drug use gone a little far? It is possible, especially if we consider replacing one of the words. Try this on for size: sex, drugs and major athletics.
