[AI-Generated Summary] IU NewsNet this week covers a mix of campus, community, and sports stories. Media School faculty expressed outrage over administrative actions affecting the Indiana Daily Student, including canceled print editions and the firing of adviser Jim Rodenbush, raising concerns about censorship and free expression. Meanwhile, student journalism continues with a $100,000 Hearst Foundation grant supporting coverage of local “news deserts,” starting in Ellettsville. On campus safety, two fraternities face cease-and-desist orders for hazing amid ongoing criminal investigations, and a dangerous crosswalk at 17th and Eagleson Streets is drawing attention after student injuries. Community updates include a new affordable housing project at the old Bloomington Hospital site and the Crimson Cupboard food pantry supporting students year-round. Student life stories highlight challenges for dance groups during Bill Garrett Fieldhouse renovations, the annual Jill Behrman 5K color run, and seasonal events like the Wrapped in Love tree display and the Bloomington Farmer’s Market relocation. Sports coverage celebrates IU football’s undefeated record, volleyball and basketball season openings, swim and dive rankings, and local cycling events, while weather reports note cooler temperatures ahead for Halloween and the weekend.
