Women’s birth control controls more than birth

IUS Horizon • February 26, 2012
Typically, when someone thinks of a journalist, they may think of a nosy, slimy person that is always digging into business that is not hers to get the scoop on a story, regardless of whom she takes down to do it. While some of that may be true — and no, I will not tell you which parts — most of it is not true. Journalists, although mainly interested in hard-hitting news, can appreciate the softer, “fluffier” side to journalism.

Editor not one for ‘mushy-gushies’

IUS Horizon • February 7, 2012
Well, IU Southeast, it is that time of year again — flowers, candy, teddy bears and other “mushy gushy” love items. With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, it is the one day a year boyfriends and girlfriends shower their partners with material affections or otherwise face relentless amounts of scorn from their significant other. Well, that’s the idea, right? Not originally.

Editor asks for acceptance of LGBT marriage

IUS Horizon • October 23, 2011
America — the land of the free and home of the brave. I have no doubts this country is the home of the brave, however, I have skepticism about how free American citizens really are. When I think of freedom — a concept this country holds in high regard — I think of not only basic freedoms, like voting but also the softer, less political freedoms such as loving who I want to love and having the option to marry that person. I cannot imagine being unable to legally marry whomever I choose to spend my life with and, as a heterosexual, I don’t have to be in that position. Unfortunately, this unthinkable concept is a reality for same-sex romantic partners in America.

Student organizations fail to represent

IUS Horizon • August 28, 2011
During my time at IU Southeast, I have found that to receive the true college experience, getting involved on campus is a key aspect for many students, including myself. According to the article “What Matters in College?” by Alexander W. Astin, “Student involvement reflects the amount of physical and psychological time and energy the student invests in the educational process.” I believe that being a member of a student organization or some other IUS secondary committee can also give a student an added sense of belonging and, then, lead to higher academic performance.

Get involved on campus

Starting a college career is difficult. Whether being a traditional student fresh out of high school or a non-traditional student deciding to rewind and attend college later in life, getting used to...

Snow cancels, delays school again

IUS Horizon • February 21, 2010
IU Southeast was closed Monday, Feb. 15, followed by a two-hour delay on Tuesday, Feb. 16. The closings caused another round of event cancellations, including the Christian Student Fellowship’s free lunch and the Appreciation Luncheon hosted by the Multicultural Student Union.

Snow cancels campus events

IUS Horizon • February 14, 2010
Tuesday, Feb. 9, was a day of snowmen and sleeping in for many IUS students. However, the snow day meant much more for campus organizations that had to cancel events due to the closing. One event was the Volunteer and Internship Fair sponsored by Campus Life and Career Services. The event was to be held Feb. 9 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the Hoosier Room, and will now be held Thursday, March 11, at the same time and location. Originally, 35 agencies were attending the fair, and, so far, only 12 have responded to the reschedule date.
