COLUMN: Cashing in on prized athletes is a two way street

By Daniel Kilcullen · Tuesday, April 12,2016 10:15 p.m.

When high school phenomenon Thon Maker announced last week that he would enter the 2016 NBA Draft, IU basketball fans’ were forced to accept the reality of what they feared all along. Maker, a seven-foot tall player with the agility of a point guard, couldn't forego a seven-figure salary and more in sponsorship deals to attend a school like IU to work towards a degree that he will likely never need.

Letter: SB No. 35

By Victoria Gee · Tuesday, April 12,2016 10:14 p.m.

I’ve recently learned about a bill that is waiting to be passed senate bill 35. I don’t think that anyone should support it because it is simply ridiculous to monitor the restroom use of others.  This bill states that it would prevent transgender from using the same restroom as the one they identify with.

Letter: Let’s Talk About Sex, Baby!

By Jasmine Knowles · Tuesday, April 12,2016 10:12 p.m.

Or perhaps let’s talk about rape, because well, they are different. Since it is Sexual Assault Awareness month, and colleges across the country are attempting to exude a Culture of Care, I want to weigh in on the topic.

Letter: Pay to pee Bill

By Haley Hawkins · Tuesday, April 12,2016 10:12 p.m.

I really need to know why Indiana legislators are so worried about who poops next to who? With everything else going on in our world, like perhaps the fact that Donald Trump may become president, I feel like who we poop beside does not need to be regulated. It is sad that I now feel very fortunate to have always been given the opportunity to use the restroom that I identify with, without any threat of facing charges for my choice.

COLUMN: GOP have to give their people what they want

By Therin Showalter · Monday, April 11,2016 9:48 p.m.

I've written fairly extensively about the possibility of a brokered convention for the Republican Party this July. Given the fact that Trump would have to collect 55 percent of the remaining delegates in order to secure the nomination, I'm actually quite certain a brokered convention is going to happen.

All around the United States, hospitals now face increasingly more attacks on their technology infrastructure. On March 31, California based Alvarado Hospital Medical Center reported a “malware disruption.” Kentucky based Methodist Hospital stated on March 22 that it was operating in an “internal state of emergency” after attackers locked all the hospital data on its network.

EDITORIAL: Free speech under fire

By Editorial Board · Sunday, April 10,2016 8:11 p.m.

The presidential debate has taken a new format – side walk chalk. Across the nation universities have been battling with a new freedom of speech debate focused on chalk messages scribbled across campuses.

EDITORIAL: Moose on the Loose

By Editorial Board · Thursday, April 7,2016 7:09 p.m.

It’s a sad day when a student can’t get their fix of Chocolate Moose. And it might be a sad semester for many of us now that the building will be temporarily closed down.  The Chocolate Moose will be closing down and rebuilt to a new four-story building, according to store owner Justin Loveless.  The Editorial Board is saddened by this news, but we hope the new restaurant will be better for giving students their ice cream.
