Students whose majors don’t fall in the “math” or “science” categories are always looking for an “easy” class to fulfill their Natural and Mathematical Sciences requirements. Some of the classes that are given the “easy” stereotype are the 100-level astronomy courses taught at IU, but it doesn’t necessarily apply to all of them.
Imagine the IU basketball team or football team without Tom Crean or Bill Lynch. Imagine no head coach to guide a team through its ups and downs.
The red carpet is rolled out and the models are ready to strut their stuff.
Last season, playing on the road plagued the IU women’s basketball team, which only won five games. This year, the Hoosiers have already won four road games in a row and are looking to extend their total winning streak to six games.

Frank Kelley Edmondson, 96, former professor emeritus of astronomy at IU, died Monday at Bloomington Hospital.
This one means a little bit more. Games like these always do. Players and coaches yarn on about how truthfully, every game is the same, none is taken more seriously than another, etc. But IU-Kentucky isn’t just a rivalry – it’s a tradition. Need proof? Turn CBS on at 4 p.m. Saturday and see if you don’t hear everything you need to hear from what Tom Crean called “one of the great atmospheres in the country.”Games like this are circled in red. Games like this are the reason Tom Crean left a successful, well-built program at Marquette for a team in tatters. Games like this define seasons – and often careers.
On a team that IU coach Tom Crean calls “thin,” Malik Story has been a valuable commodity. Coming off the bench or starting, playing power forward or point guard – wherever Crean has been lacking, he’s turned to Story to fill the gap. No wonder Story has an open mind on what his role is for the Hoosiers. “(I do) whatever needs to be done,” he said. “Pass the ball, score the ball, whatever needs to be done.” While the whole season is a learning experience, perhaps no Hoosier has had to learn as much or adjust to as many different roles as Story. The 6-foot-5, 225-pound freshman came to Bloomington as a guard. He quickly learned he would need to fill the position of power forward, due to the lack of size on the squad.
For many at IU, the bursar is a place where students send their money and never see it again.
