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,...

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....

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

From the looks of it, graduating seniors couldn’t be going into the real world at a scarier time.
