Woodlands make up the ‘heart’ of campus

By Sara Amato · Wednesday, June 13,2007 9:19 p.m.

It is a common belief IU has a policy that if a tree is taken down on campus, two trees must be planted in its place. Professor James Capshew said he’s never heard of a policy of that sort, but it shows the importance and value trees have on campus.

WIUX fans need not fear any longer – the radio station will stay on the FM dial. The station jumped from 100.3 FM to 99.1 FM on June 4, after WYGB, a Columbus, Ind., country station, moved to 100.3 FM, ending months of negotiations with the Federal Communications Commission.

News blues

By Brian J. McFillen · Wednesday, June 13,2007 8:47 p.m.

One of the tough realities about the news media is that while journalistic ideals dictate that you try to inform the public about important things – things they need to know about – what pays the bills is reporting things they want to know about.

Phil’s Phorgotten Phailure

By Mike Abrams · Wednesday, June 13,2007 8:21 p.m.

Dear Mr. Phillip Mickelson, Remember June 18, 2006? Of course you remember. How could you forget? You will never forget that Sunday. It was late afternoon and you were walking off the 17th green.

Conspiracy theory: I-69

By Anna Piontek · Wednesday, June 13,2007 7:20 p.m.

If there is a weird theory out there – whether it concerns the assassination of JFK, the virginity of Jesus’ mom, or the whereabouts of some undiscovered Nazi gold – you can bet my dad believes it. He is a conspiracy theorist. There are two ways to look at life: either things happen for a reason or they don’t. People of a postmodern persuasion, such as myself on normal occasions, tend to believe the latter.
