April 20, 2009
Well, guys, I’m finally out of your hair. But not before I have one last opportunity to try to make a point. So, with one final battle cry, here it comes. I know I’ve already argued this, but some topics just need a little more emphasis. Something this university hasn’t made a habit of, though,...

This semester’s almost over, folks. If you’re like me, this is the final run for you. After this last couple of weeks, we’ll have finished our bachelor’s degrees. This, of course, means we’ll have to sit through a series of speeches at a myriad of different ceremonies in the next several weeks. I’m...

For those of you who paid student activity fees this semester, the Student Government Association just took an hour of your time and you’ll never get to know what was done during those 60 minutes. By way of a unanimous vote, the senate took an hour-long executive session at their meeting on Thursday,...
Not gonna happen
IUS Horizon
April 3, 2009
James Bonsall, the apparent president-elect of the Student Government Association, managed to secure the position by a mere nine votes right before Spring Break. That is, of course, if Josh Sesar, mathematics sophomore, doesn’t challenge the results. But that’s not terribly important just yet....

This is the last of a three-part series of columns. This week, students are going to be schmoozed with pizza so they might go to a computer and vote for new membership in the Student Government Association. For the first time in seven years, the president’s seat is contested. The students’ votes...

IUS Horizon
March 13, 2009
This is the second of a three-part series of columns. Politicking is a very sensitive game, requiring an intentional balancing of carefully chosen words with properly executed policy. Unfortunately, the Student Government Association has had some trouble with these rules through the last couple of years...
Here’s your negative coverage
IUS Horizon
March 7, 2009
This is the first of a three-part series of columns. Well, you asked for it. It’s one thing when you talk about an organization privately with colleagues or express your frustration with your coverage in the student newspaper. It’s something entirely different when you talk about it while you’re...
Terms for who?
IUS Horizon
March 7, 2009
Facebook’s change in its terms of use caused a lot of stir in the media last week, and for good reason. The new terms would have allowed the social networking giant keep any content produced by users, such as photos and blog posts, even if someone deletes their profile. Read More »...
Down, not out
IUS Horizon
February 21, 2009
From the looks of it, graduating seniors couldn’t be going into the real world at a scarier time.

For those of us who couldn’t drive to campus during the snow storm, we sat with our hands tied and had little to do other than catch up on some reading for classes.
