Believe: The start of a new beginning

By Matt Dollinger · Friday, Sept. 7,2007 12:38 a.m.

Loyal fans have been patiently waiting since 1993 for the Hoosiers to turn it around. Waiting for their lovable losers to become, at the least, satisfactory winners. Last Saturday’s victory over Indiana State could be the start of the reversal that lifts the Hoosiers out of the football toilet and into a much cleaner, more respectable kind of bowl.

My brother's keeper

Most freshmen are lucky to know a handful of familiar faces when they arrive on campus for their first semester in Bloomington. IU freshman goalkeeper Michael Munroe, one of the newest members of the IU men’s soccer team, lucked out and had a close friend – and sibling – waiting to show him around. That person was his older brother, senior goalkeeper Chris Munroe.

I want my MTV back

By Cory Barker · Thursday, Sept. 6,2007 10:44 p.m.

This Sunday, MTV will air what is arguably its most popular program, the MTV Video Music Awards. Always full of debauchery and unpredictability, MTV is taking it one step further this year by holding the event in the cesspool of sin, Las Vegas. Sadly, with this change MTV is continuing down a path it’s been on for years. And that’s not a good thing.

Why follow ‘Entourage’?

By Michael Duncan · Thursday, Sept. 6,2007 10:42 p.m.

The season four finale of “Entourage,” which aired on Sunday, epitomizes everything that has gone horribly wrong with this once entertaining show. I started watching “Entourage” at its inception because I liked the mindless release found in predictable progression and quick-witted, easily quotable humor. The half-hour show, loosely based on the life of Mark Wahlberg and his boyhood friends, was more approachable than HBO’s longer, darker dramas such as “The Sopranos” and “Deadwood”. When “Entourage” began its first season, it had a quick-moving, single plot line: “Head On,” a blockbuster hit for promising actor Vincent Chase (Adrian Grenier) forces the star and his manager-friend Eric Murphy (played by Kevin Connolly) to find the next project with Vince’s agent Ari Gold (Jeremy Piven). Ari wants to capitalize on Vince’s recent fame to land a studio picture deal, but Eric encourages Vince to look at a small independent film titled: “Queens Boulevard.” This plot worked for “Entourage.”

Shine a light

By Tristan Reitz · Thursday, Sept. 6,2007 10:40 p.m.

In order to make educated decisions in electing and judging presidents, it is essential that we understand what these leaders did and said, in their official capacity, while in elected office. With this idea in mind, legislators created the Presidential Records Act in 1978, requiring all official presidential correspondence to be recorded for current and future generations to read and study. The act was passed, in part, to combat what many viewed as an increasing trend of presidential secrecy by Nixon administration. But 30 years after the PRA was signed, we continue to see the executive branch demand more rights to communicate and act in secrecy, safely away from the eyes of the public it’s meant to serve.

Death to Webmail

Thursday, Sept. 6,2007 10:37 p.m.

At IU, many of us have the privilege (read: frustration) of logging into IU Webmail. Cascades of spam fill our inboxes, while the pitiful inbox limit of 100 megabytes runs out far too quickly with all the e-mail attachments necessary in the life of a college student.
