OPINION: Kirkwood needs more police. Gun-free zones are legally shaky

Editor’s Note: All opinions, columns and letters reflect the views of the individual writer and not necessarily those of the IDS or its staffers. Another vicious shooting on Kirkwood Avenue again raises the question of how to address Bloomington’s periodic gun violence. This time — in the early morning of Nov. 1, as students continued to celebrate both Halloween and Indiana football’s hard-fought homecoming win — a shooter drew a gun in a large crowd and injured seven people. In hindsight, gun violence this past weekend was, alas, perfectly predictable.

Syracuse-Indiana matchup recalls glory days as programs seek return

Forty seasons ago, Keith Smart rose up from the baseline and sank a 16-foot jumper with four seconds left to lift Indiana to a one-point win over Syracuse in the NCAA Tournament championship game. It was a magical era when both schools lived near the top of the national rankings. But all these years later, the Hoosiers and Orange are simply searching for a path back into the NCAA Tournament. Syracuse hasn't participated in March Madness since 2021, and Indiana hasn't been there since 2023. Considering that Syracuse (2-0) and Indiana (2-0) are off to fine starts this season -- albeit against outmanned regional opponents -- the winner of Monday night's non-conference clash in Indianapolis will take a valuable step toward earning a coveted NCAA berth. New Syracuse coach Gerry McNamara, who teamed with Carmelo Anthony to help longtime coach Jim Boeheim get his only NCAA championship in 2003, retained just two players from last season's squad that finished 15-17: Sadiq White Jr. and Kiyan Anthony, Carmelo's son. Anthony, who is averaging 15.5 points per game this season, and White (11 ppg, 10 rebounds per game) join Siena transfer Gavin Doty (16 ppg) and Slovenian freshman Mark Morano (12.5 ppg,
