Driest summer since 1998 mutes autumn colors

By Associated Press and Alexandra R. Moses · Sunday, Sept. 23,2007 11:23 p.m.

INDIANAPOLIS – This summer’s dry, hot weather may mean a shorter and earlier season for watching autumn leaves turn red, orange and yellow. Leaves typically begin developing fall colors near the beginning of October, but this year the change could come earlier.

Die another day

By Anna Piontek · Sunday, Sept. 23,2007 7:18 p.m.

I don’t want to die. But every day the Grim Reaper puts his ominously huge sickle to my young, supple neck and warns, “This day may be your last.” He says this to me because I ride around Bloomington on my bicycle. Whether the danger comes from people in 4000-lb. machines, such as SUVs and vans, who pass me too closely, oblivious pedestrians on cell phones who don’t look both ways before they cross the street or other cyclists ignorant to the rules of the road, death looms around every corner.

Rank and file

By Jacob Stewart · Sunday, Sept. 23,2007 7:14 p.m.

For many students in Bloomington, including myself, IU is the No. 1 college in America. It has the best professors. It has the fairest admission standards. It has the greatest diversity. It has some of the best academic programs in the nation. To us, it is all of these things because it is our university, and we have become attached to it. The U.S. News and World Report, however, disagrees with our perceptions. Its annual college rankings place universities in order of best to worst in certain areas related to academia, and it seems the Report has given IU the cold shoulder.

Heed the call

By Brian J. McFillen · Sunday, Sept. 23,2007 7:12 p.m.

In 2003, millions of people placed their phone numbers on the federal “Do Not Call” list to prevent telemarketers from contacting them. What many might not realize, however, is that membership on the list must be renewed after five years – and that if they don’t re-register by going to http://www.donotcall.gov or by calling 1-888-382-1222, their numbers will become publicly available again.

IU football opens Big Ten play against Illinois

By Lee Hurwitz · Friday, Sept. 21,2007 12:43 a.m.

For weeks, IU coach Bill Lynch and his team dodged questions regarding the Big Ten. They played under the adages “we’re going to take it one game at a time,” and “we’re not going to look ahead.”

Who in the world is Juice?

By Matt Dollinger · Friday, Sept. 21,2007 12:33 a.m.

Make way for the new evil empire. Purdue is yesterday’s news; Kentucky is irrelevant. The Hoosiers’ new nemesis is wrapped in blue with a big, ugly orange ribbon on top: the University of Illinois.
