Spam I am

By Joanna Borns · Tuesday, Oct. 10,2006 11:26 p.m.

A wise British pop singer named Petula Clark once said, er, sang: "When you're alone and life is making you lonely, you can always go -- downtown." That's a great idea. But if you're not looking for hookers, there's a better way to end your loneliness. Check your e-mail. You have an inbox full of love. But before you run to your computer, I will warn you: Your friends and family did not e-mail you. They don't have the time, or they simply don't care. (And honestly, who could blame them?)

Satisfying sustainability supporters

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Oct. 10,2006 11:18 p.m.

Everyone knows that IU is better than Purdue -- it's a simple fact of life. Our campus is more attractive, our academics better and even our lack of a real mascot is superior to their Purdue Pete. However, IU has been falling behind Purdue and many other universities in a very critical area: campus environmental sustainability.

Online Only: Bloomington crash course

By Alyson Brodsy and Tyler James Perry · Tuesday, Oct. 10,2006 7:53 a.m.

In my time in Bloomington, I've come to realize a few things: IU parking is a rip-off, riding the buses sucks and hardly anyone in this town knows how to drive. While I've seen idiot drivers from all over the country, Indiana drivers are among the worst. Don't worry, I'm not one of those trendy East coast kids dissing you redneck Indiana hicks. I'm actually from the Hoosier state, and because of my citizenship here, I've witnessed some spectacular feats in reckless driving.

By Mal Hackleman · Monday, Oct. 9,2006 11:53 p.m.
