Dear Editors of The Cowl, This year’s Valentine’s publication featured a large page on the back side of the Portfolio Section of two gay men having an intimate moment. From what I am told, this was taken from the “largest pop culture reference to love,” which is from the show Heated Rivalry, a highly explicit […]
On Tuesday, Oct. 14, Indiana University’s student-run newspaper, the Indiana Daily Student, was informed that it would be cut for print, effective immediately. This came after media director Jim Rodenbush protested the school’s decision to omit all news coverage from print editions and was ultimately fired. The paper was set to hit the stands on […]
A Letter to the Editors by Local Assembly Members The federal government could have fixed the gaps in traditional government-run Medicare and created an improved Medicare for All single-payer program, but instead, it paid private middlemen billions to offer Medicare Advantage plans.

Hi again Cowl readers. We took a week off, so I hope you didn’t miss us too much. My thoughts this week are still about the future, so I will try to stray from the existential and focus more on the random things I have been thinking about. I just finished another book, and I […]
