One week before Thanksgiving, freshman Anthony Wilkerson died in Indianapolis, his hometown. The University did not notify the public. One reason is because it happened off campus, said Goldsmith.

When a student dies, IU might hear the news from a parent or the police. Rarely, a professor who hasn’t seen the student in class for a few days alerts them. If they haven’t spoken yet, the University calls the family to give their condolences. That job usually falls to Dean of Students Harold “Pete” Goldsmith. It’s not a call he looks forward to, but he tries to do it well.

There are 46,416 students that attend IU. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), more than 25 percent of college students have been diagnosed or treated by a professional for a mental health condition within the past year. At IU, there are a total of 20 professionals working for Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), the service recommended for students that are experiencing signs of a mental illness. Out of those 20 individuals, there are 17 therapists and three psychiatrists. If the CAPS professional faculty equally delegated 25 percent of IU’s student population, each professional would be responsible for helping 580 students that are affected by mental health. That is like being a professor of a class of 580 students. That is absurd. The lack of funding and help for individuals in need of a mental health program at IU isn’t something that’s well known or even talked about on campus. Over the past few years attending IU, I’ve slowly realized that these services are much needed and should be more attainable on campus. College is a pivotal time in our lives.
Last week, the State General Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television, which is in charge of regulating media in China, issued an order banning puns, saying “that puns could mislead young readers and make it more difficult to promote traditional Chinese culture.” (http://www.latimes.com/world/asia/la-fg-china-bans-puns-20141203-story.html) They said that, much like every form of media and any mildly Western idea, it corrupts the traditionalism that China is trying to maintain.
Sometimes the biggest fall hardest, and corporations are no exception. Last week, Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc. was hacked, their servers crashed, and data was stolen and leaked, including personal and corporate information and files of upcoming Sony movies.
The Indiana Daily Student is a forum for student and community voices to be shared among students, staff and faculty across the campus. This publication works to keep the public updated about campus events and attempts to convey to its readers what is going on around them and why it matters. This responsibility involves covering the news even in the worst of circumstances: when a student dies.
Savannah State drew national attention late last month for its play against Louisville, and that wasn’t a good thing for the Tigers.
