Students simulate drunken driving at McNutt Quad

Monday, Sept. 19,2005 1:25 a.m.

Sophomore Megan Moore's vision was obscured by black goggles as she drove a golf cart over several orange cones. Students standing at the McNutt Quad circle drive watched as Moore swerved to miss two IU Police Department squad cars that arrived on the scene. John Summerlot, a residence coordinator for the building, yelled for her to stop. "I can't," she said, laughing.

Athletics plan to eliminate deficits by '08

By Alyson Brodsy · Monday, Sept. 19,2005 1:25 a.m.

A proposed repeal of the athletics fee could peel fans away from Assembly Hall's courtside seats. IU Athletics Director Rick Greenspan presented a business plan to the IU board of trustees Friday outlining changes to the athletics department's budget. The plan proposes to eliminate the athletics fee, re-allocate some student seats to private donors and increase men's basketball ticket prices. These changes are expected to be approved by the trustees in May and will be discussed further in November.

By Alyson Brodsy · Monday, Sept. 19,2005 1:25 a.m.

A new athletics department plan seeks to end an eight-year streak of red ink.

UNRIVALED

By Matt Mattucci · Monday, Sept. 19,2005 1:25 a.m.

For the first time since 1993, Kentucky entered Bloomington with an undefeated IU team awaiting their arrival. And for the first time in four years, the Hoosiers won, 38-14. "It wasn't a perfect game by any stretch, but it was beautiful," IU head coach Terry Hoeppner said. "We just whipped the Wildcats."

IU freshmen impress coach at Invitational

By Evan Harris · Monday, Sept. 19,2005 1:18 a.m.

Head coach Lin Loring entered the Western Michigan Invitational with the mindset that the weekend would be like an audition for his Hoosiers. The four returnees would give up the high singles positions for work on their doubles game, while four freshmen would acquire those positions for a "tryout." But the IU women's tennis team far exceeded its coach's expectations.

By Ryan Goode · Monday, Sept. 19,2005 1:17 a.m.

On Friday afternoon, the IU women's cross country team proved just how strong it is. Even without their top runner, junior Jessica Gall, the Hoosiers won the Indiana Intercollegiate meet in convincing fashion. The team placed four runners in the top 20 en route to the victory. The Hoosier women began the race by remaining in a pack and staying just off of the pace.

Welcome home, warriors

By Alyson Brodsy and Andrew Shaffer · Monday, Sept. 19,2005 1:10 a.m.

The Walk. It hits you right away like a warming sensation throughout your body. It covers the goose bumps, which have grown their own goose bumps, and curls the corners of your mouth upward into a smile. At first, your legs start to lose control. It is such a sudden rush, unexpected even, that your heart hurts. What is it? It is the feeling of appreciation, approval, support and encouragement. It is the feeling that people care. Years had passed, and it seemed to the people of Bloomington, that no one had heard a word from the football team it so desperately wanted to identify with. A win here, a loss there, but for the most part, nothing had united the country of the cream and crimson. Until "The Walk."

Nguyen rises in Hoosiers' dramatic weekend

By Chris Engel · Monday, Sept. 19,2005 1:08 a.m.

The IU roster might have changed during the course of a year, but the defending national champs proved they still have the same flare for dramatics in this weekend's Oregon State Diadora Classic in Corvallis, Ore. IU shutout No. 16 California State-Northridge 5-0, then dominated the stat sheet for 55 minutes against tournament host Oregon State University, only to trail 2-0. But with 35 minutes remaining, the weekend was far from over. Junior forward Jacob Peterson cut the Beavers' lead in half in the 56th minute of play when freshman forward Lee Nguyen redirected a pass from senior midfielder Mike Ambersley to Peterson, who tallied his fifth goal of the season. "Lee has been finding me lately and giving me opportunities," Peterson said. "I'm glad I was able to get one for him finally."

Colts use 'D' to rough up Leftwich, Jags in win

By Cordell M. Eddings · Monday, Sept. 19,2005 1:03 a.m.

INDIANAPOLIS -- It's not every day the Indianapolis Colts win in a low-scoring dog fight, where they depend on their running game and defense to get the win. Glimpses of the changing times were seen in the Colts home opener, as it was Peyton Manning and the offense on life support while the Colts' defense led the team to a 10-3 victory over Jacksonville Sunday.

Men close strong, finish 6th

By Lee Hurwitz · Monday, Sept. 19,2005 1:02 a.m.

Even though par was hard to come by at the Gopher Invitational this past weekend, the IU men's golf team closed strong with a sixth place finish. Only nine of 66 players finished in red numbers Sunday while the rest of the field succumbed to the challenges Spring Hills Golf Course had to offer. None of the Hoosier golfers were able to finish under par to close out the tournament, but freshman Jorge Campillo put forth a strong effort, posting a 1-over-par 73. Campillo finished tied for 14th with a total of 221. Campillo's finish marks his second top 15 finish in only his second start. The Hoosiers, as a team, combined for 902 strokes. The University of Washington finished tied with Minnesota, whose totals were 883 strokes. Niall Turner of Minnesota, who was the only player in the tournament to finish under par with a one-under 71, was the tournament's individual winner.

Running wild

By Eamonn Brennan · Monday, Sept. 19,2005 1:01 a.m.

On Aug. 6, IU senior offensive lineman Isaac Sowells did something his head coach didn't appreciate. He guaranteed an IU win over Kentucky. "I told him not to do that again," IU head coach Terry Hoeppner said. "Unless you can back it up." Sowells and the Hoosiers did exactly that Saturday, rushing for more than 300 yards and passing for four touchdowns en route to a blowout win over interstate rival Kentucky, 38-14.

Despite clouds, Moon Fest brings community together

By Kacie Foster · Monday, Sept. 19,2005 12:18 a.m.

Though the clouds hid the moon Friday night during the Moon Festival at the Asian Culture Center, the people in attendance didn't seem to mind. From toddlers to grandparents, there was something for everyone. The ACC served moon cakes filled with red bean paste or lotus seed paste, hot green tea, hot chocolate and s'mores. The Taiwanese Student Association began the evening with a game that is a combination of charades and telephone. Five participants had to relay Moon Festival-specific messages, including "moon cake," "rabbit," and "lantern," by using body language and hand signals. Each participant passed the message down the line, until the last contestant had to guess the word.

'Oz,' 'Dark Side' shown together for public

By Katie Peck · Monday, Sept. 19,2005 12:15 a.m.

Since "Dark Side of the Moon" debuted in 1973, it has been debated whether Pink Floyd purposely wrote the album to line up with the film "The Wizard of Oz." On Saturday night, the Buskirk-Chumley Theater, in conjunction with the Ryder Film Series, showed them together. Upon watching this combination, one might be inclined to say the links between the movie and the film are purely coincidental. Freshman Steven Kramer and his friends used to talk about the combination when Kramer was in high school.

Spade shows range in stand-up act

By Josh Kastrinsky and Kelli Brea Gaston · Monday, Sept. 19,2005 12:12 a.m.

On a night full of unexpected events, comedian David Spade took it one step further by veering from his recent trend of celebrity schtick to entertain the audience with observational comedy not often seen by casual fans. Spade, currently of "The Showbiz Show with David Spade," provided a one-two punch of standup with "Last Comic Standing" competitor Todd Glass Saturday at the IU Auditorium. The show came on the heels of an IU football victory, which accounted for the three-quarters full venue, despite the soldout show.

Lock 'em up

By Alyson Brodsy and Amy Obermeyer · Sunday, Sept. 18,2005 11:45 p.m.

The business section of Friday's New York Times asked, "How long should white collar criminals be jailed?" Many recent offenders have been sentenced to anywhere from 15 to 30 years in prison for corporate crimes. Jonathon Simon, a professor of law at the University of California, Berkeley, told The Times that such sentences are "draconian" and "25 years is more than most people would get for rape or non-aggravated murder."
