Herbert seen as man of ‘warmth’

·

“Enormous warmth.” An intriguing way to describe a man so maligned for the things he did – or did not do. But when asked to reflect on departing IU President Adam Herbert’s greatest strengths, University Chancellor Ken Gros Louis said it was Herbert’s ability to connect with people, whether one-on-one or in a group setting, that set him apart from his predecessors.

Dierks Bentley to perform Saturday

·

This Saturday the IU Auditorium will open its doors to something it hasn’t seen in a while: a country act. The Union Board is bringing Dierks Bentley to the auditorium for a 7:30 p.m. show to add a new flavor to its spring events line-up. “It’s been a long time since we’ve had a country artist, if ever, so we decided it would be good for Union Board to bring (one) to IU,” said Adam Soiref, UB concerts director. The last country performer to come to IU was Willie Nelson in December 2004.

On Saturday night, when the Hoosiers take on Penn State at 8 p.m. in Assembly Hall, three members of the IU men’s basketball team will step onto Branch McCracken Court for the final time in their careers as Hoosiers. Senior guards Rod Wilmont, Errek Suhr and Earl Calloway have had different experiences during their times at IU. But each player has created his own identity and used it on the basketball court.

INDIANAPOLIS – Receiving an outright vote of confidence Thursday, soon-to-be University President Michael McRobbie can hope his transition into IU’s top role will be smoother than his predecessor’s.

Fashionistas advise how to stay stylish, warm

Tired of wearing that same chunky sweater, the one that looked so up-to-the-minute in November, but now is covered in fuzz balls? What about those clunky knee-high boots? They felt great those first cold weeks of winter, but wouldn’t a cool new wedge sandal be a welcome relief?

Patriotic prose

·

Patriotism – no word seems to have become so ingrained in the American psyche. And yet, for a word that is so indoctrinated in young minds today, few can accurately describe what it encompasses. Conservatives would have you believe that there is nothing more important than supporting your government, no matter what. In Bill O’Reilly’s immortal words, “It is our duty as loyal Americans to shut up once the fighting begins …” On the other hand, liberals tend to agree that it is a patriotic duty to question one’s government. In their minds, patriotism equals dissent and debate.
