Read this column

By George Lyle IV · Friday, April 29,2005 1:05 a.m.

Another Friday column. What does that mean? It depends on who you ask. If you ask our publisher, Dave Adams, this column is a sigh of relief; the last public editor left under fire and a hail of uncooked eggs (well, not eggs, but close). If you ask the average Indiana Daily Student reader, they might not even take notice of the words and ideas that fill this space (except you who are reading it, and for that you are beautiful!).

Chained to the rack

By Jeff Alstott · Friday, April 29,2005 12:26 a.m.

I ride a bike and I live in the dorms. When I arrived home from class last week, I saw a little old lady standing amid the bike racks, sticking orange stickers in the spokes of the bikes' wheels. As a freshman, I had no idea what was going on, so once she left I appropriated one of these stickers, wondering what the deal was. I found out, and it's pretty ridiculous.

By Alyson Brodsy · Friday, April 29,2005 12:23 a.m.

All you seniors graduating, listen up: We've got a quick way for you and a few friends to make a million bucks. Start a college. That's right -- you're graduating from one, and starting a new college could help you snag a cool million from the federal government, which has shamefully green-lighted an unaccredited, non-degree-granting university to receive $1 million while cutting back student aid for accredited, degree-granting universities.
