April is the busiest month

We, Elvis and Elvira, are trying to make it through the final month of the IU academic calendar with our faculties (ha - get it?!) intact. National decision day for next year's class of incoming freshmen is May; this translates into April being National Decision-making Month, which translates into a LOT of work for Elvis and Elvira.

There has been an awful lot going on around here:
  • Student political leaders have, with the blessing and support of the administration and the city, put in a bid for the campus to host a 2008 Presidential Debate.
  • The faculty have been vocal in their opposition to a statewide proposal to establish a one-man-one-woman criterion for legally recognized unions
  • Two students majoring in the College were chosen as Goldwater Scholars
  • The KKK (or someone claiming to have organized a group under this offensive name) says it is going to hold a march in Bloomington.

And so forth. In short - a busy end to a busy year, and we are keeping our heads down until after commencement.
