Confidence in flying shaken, not broken

Sprinting through an airport to a catch a leaving flight is becoming a thing of the past. Potential flyers will have to endure a thorough inspection of bags, person, as well as ticketing information, leaving little time for passengers to dally around airports. With terrorists threats and airplane malfunctions unlikely, yet possible, consumers feel the sky is not the smart place to be. "I wish they'd check the plane twice," sophomore Angela Fonyuy said.

'Bourne' can't find own identity

Economic gains still in question

In the midst of pessimistic economic expectations, rising unemployment rates and sluggish capital spending, the government is trying to find ways to boost consumer expenditure and investment in business. Republicans and Democrats are wrangling over the details of the fiscal stimulus package. But since the federal government has a major budget surplus, the stimulus package is expected to be relatively large and would have a huge impact on the economy.

Facing the stigma of depression

Six and a half years ago, when I entered an in-patient psychiatric hospital for the first time, my therapists gave me a warning. Most people out there in the world, they told me, aren't ready to discuss mental illness. It's taboo to many of them, something you just don't bring up in public. Be ready for that. At the time, I really didn't think much of that warning. I just wanted to get out of that hospital.

Financial advice from a COAS pro

I came back from spring break tan, well-rested and feeling great about life in general. Returning to the IDS to work Sunday was almost fun, as I had made a point not to read and/or watch the news while I was basking in the Florida sun.

Packing up, shipping out

As the overwhelming stress of finals comes to a relieving halt, residence hall students are facing the lingering anxiety that comes with moving nine months worth of belongings to a summer habitat. The venture home for some includes traveling across the country, flying overseas and preparing for internships and studies abroad. But one thing is for sure -- students are struggling with packing, transporting and relocating.

Singing, not screaming, important for IU Sing

At 1606 N. Fee Lane lies the Wilcox House, home of the IU Student Foundation and the behind-the-scenes of IU Sing. Inside is the steering committee, one of the groups responsible for making sure everything is running smoothly, on schedule and on track.

Kickin' it old school

In a small brick house at 1212 Maxwell Lane, Professor Henry Hayman Herman Remak steps out and begins his daily walk through campus. The trip to his cluttered office in Ballantine Hall 605 isn't a long one -- it's only six blocks. Even though Professor Remak is 85-years-old, he refuses to drive to campus.

This Weekend's Calendar events

This cellar's GONE UNDER

Pool tables, dart boards, a pinball machine, a bar and a stage. All are lying empty and unused. The Christmas lights and neon signs have no one to illuminate with their glow. The posters on the wall remain overlooked.

Recker scores winning points

INDIANAPOLIS - For those IU fans who aren't fond of Luke Recker, this one wasn't easy to swallow. And it won't be for a long, long time.

Rule considers cash, not age

The mandatory retirement policy IU now has is not about age discrimination. It would be ridiculous to hire someone at age 63, have them work for two years, and then suddenly find them unfit to do their job simply because they turned 65. Of course, the ridiculous does sometimes happen, as in the case of former athletics director Clarence Doninger last year, who was forced to retire after holding the position for just over two years. Still, there is no magic line someone crosses on his 65th birthday that makes him suddenly incompetent; if Doninger was fit for the position at 63, being 65 couldn't have made much of a difference. But mandatory retirement isn't about age; it's about money. Yesterday, representatives from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunities Commission met at 9:30 a.m. in Bryan Hall to sign an agreement requiring the University to rewrite its stance on mandatory retirement. It's easy to support this as an ideal, but when the time comes to pay tuition, those in favor of rewriting the mandatory retirement policy might come to regret it.

Fore-SHOUTING vs. foreshadowing

Art students display work

A woman makes her way around a room, observing artwork that's mounted on walls, illuminated by little spotlights. She pauses at a large, framed black and white photograph and peers over her glasses to inspect it more closely. "That's a compelling little girl," she murmurs to herself. The child she's referring to has short brown hair that frames her face, a cowlick of baby hairs hanging down the middle of her forehead, a smudge of dirt on the right corner of her mouth and is thrusting out her lower lip in a slight pout.

Songs that will send me to hell

Get involved in IUSA to see its impact

I just wanted to address some things students might have overlooked regarding IUSA. Things might not have turned the way you expected ... but as for me, I am very happy.

Music for a non-sucky spring break

Report shows rightful landowners

For generations, black families passed down the tales in uneasy whispers: "They stole our land." These were family secrets shared after the children fell asleep, old stories locked in fear and shame. Some of those whispered bits of oral history, it turns out, are true. In an 18-month investigation, The Associated Press documented a pattern in which black Americans were cheated out of their land or driven from it through intimidation, violence and even murder.

United States offers troops to Afghan village

KAKARAK, Afghanistan -- The United States may station troops in the area where a recent American airstrike killed scores of civilians in a move to encourage local development and improve community relations, the commander of U.S. forces said Sunday. Lt. Gen. Dan K. McNeill flew to this village in Uruzgan province less than a week after an attack that Afghans say killed 48 people, including 25 members of an extended family attending a wedding. Another 117 people were reportedly wounded in the attack last Monday.
