Back to reality

By Mike Abrams · Thursday, March 22,2007 12 a.m.

Spring break is that time of year where when college students stop focusing on academics and start dabbling in debauchery.

Psychic baristas

By Joanna Borns · Wednesday, March 21,2007 12 a.m.

Passing through

By Julia Boriss · Wednesday, March 21,2007 12 a.m.

Every time I pass the window in my living room back home, I peer out onto the playground of the elementary school across the street. I am reminded of the nights when my friends and I claimed that playground and made it our own.

Spring practice begins without Hoeppner

By John Wustrow · Wednesday, March 21,2007 12 a.m.

It may have been the last day of winter, but for the IU football team Tuesday marked the first day of spring practices. “It’s nice, it’s a beautiful day out here,” junior fullback Josiah Sears said. “It was really fun to play football again, since it’s been a while.” It had been exactly 122 days since the Hoosiers’ 2006 campaign ended with a 28-19 loss to Purdue on Nov. 18, 2006. That loss left IU one game short of its first bowl appearance since 1993 with a 5-7 record.

Politics as usual

By Peter Chen · Wednesday, March 21,2007 12 a.m.

AIX-EN-PROVENCE, France – No one can pinpoint exactly where it began, but sometime in the last quarter-century, a culture of scorched-earth politics was born that scourged our country. Mudslinging has become more important than policy, and culture wars stole civility from public discourse.

Plame speaks to congressional committee

By Aparna Venkatraman · Wednesday, March 21,2007 12 a.m.

THE FACTS: Former CIA agent Valerie Plame accused the Bush administration of “carelessly and recklessly” revealing her identity as retaliation for her husband, former ambassador Joseph Wilson, criticizing the war in Iraq. Lewis “Scooter” Libby was recently charged, not with leaking her identity but with perjury and obstruction of justice. There have been no charges for revealing her identity. Was the leak justified?
