By Allie Townsend · Wednesday, April 19,2006 12:06 a.m.

The formation of uniform degree requirements has stalled amid disputes between officials at IU-Bloomington's separate degree-granting schools.

By IDS staff · Wednesday, April 19,2006 12 a.m.

Greg Buhay, a senior majoring in business, is better known for what he does outside of the classroom. Buhay is the "business man" of the Cutters cycling team because he keeps the team's organization under control, but also has the crazy jokes and sense of humor to keep his teammates going on their six-to seven-hour rides. So when he's training hours upon hours a week and spending 75 percent of his college days with his team, here is why Team Cutters has had such an impact on this Pittsburgh native's life:
