Going the distance

By Ben Homrig · Monday, Sept. 3,2007 10:44 p.m.

Trekking at Griffy Lake, Bryan Park and everywhere in between, IU students have filled the city this fall with the patter of footsteps and the sounds of heavy breathing at every corner. Saturday’s Second Annual IU Circle of Life event will include both a mini marathon and 5K race on the IU campus. Last year, over 3,200 runners competed in the mini marathon and raised $60,000 for the Bill Z. Littlefield Scholarship for Survivors. As potential participants start to train, however, they usually find that starting is the hardest part.

Erik von Markovik, aka “Mystery” from VH1’s “The Pickup Artist,” teaches that all success and happiness in life is a result of our health, wealth and relationships.

More importantly, all of these aspects of life are very closely connected and have an effect on others.

Former Hoosiers play against each other in Major League Soccer

By Linnea Coulter · Monday, Sept. 3,2007 9:53 p.m.

While IU fought to upset No. 2-ranked UCLA on the pitch last Sunday, four alumni of the IU men’s soccer team were fighting a battle of their own in Major League Soccer. The Columbus Crew hosted the Colorado Rapids, where Danny O’Rourke, Jed Zayner, and Ned Grabavoy of the Crew played against Jacob Peterson of the Rapids. All four men played on the 2004 Hoosier squad that won the College Cup on penalty kicks against UC-Santa Barbara. Today, the former national champions find themselves on professional teams fighting to make the playoffs. The Crew and the Rapids went into Sunday’s game tied for the eighth and final MLS playoff spot, but the Rapids would win the tiebreaker over the Crew with a greater goal differential on the season. Before the match, Zayner said he thought the game would be a launching pad for the Crew for the remainder of the season.

Roddick reaches Open quarterfinals

By Aaron Beard and Ben Walker · Monday, Sept. 3,2007 9:37 p.m.

Andy Roddick reached the U.S. Open quarterfinals thanks to another abbreviated work day. Roddick, the 2003 champion and 2006 runner-up, advanced Monday when his fourth-round opponent, No. 9-seeded Tomas Berdych, stopped playing in the second set because he had trouble breathing and felt sluggish. “I’ll probably head out to the practice courts right now,” said the fifth-seeded Roddick, who could face No. 1 Roger Federer next.

Won it for Hep

By Lee Hurwitz · Monday, Sept. 3,2007 1:22 a.m.

For a moment, it appeared as if Indiana State had a chance Saturday. Not only did the Sycamores win the coin toss, but junior kicker Austin Starr’s opening kickoff went out of bounds, automatically placing the ball on the 35-yard line. After an opening five-play drive, however, ISU’s momentary elation ended when sophomore quarterback Kellen Lewis and junior wide receiver James Hardy began playing catch – and connected three times for 153 yards and two touchdowns.

A record 7,423 people packed Bill Armstrong Stadium on Sunday to see the No. 7-ranked IU men’s soccer team battle No. 2-ranked UCLA, shattering the previous attendance mark of 6,000 set in 1987.

Art festival brings 45,000 to Bloomington

By Elizabeth Dilts and Liz Dilts · Monday, Sept. 3,2007 1:09 a.m.

In art, there’s a visual phenomenon that occurs when the viewer is too close to the image and therefore can’t see the full picture. It happens often with pointillism paintings. Five inches from the picture, it’s a mass of unimpressive dots. Such is the sensation for many students, who might be too close to Bloomington’s Fourth Street Festival to realize its importance.

All three of the Hoosiers opponents this weekend advanced to the NCAA tournament last season. “We made baby steps this weekend,” IU coach Sherry Dunbar said. “This weekend, we played good quality teams with them all making the tournament last season.”
