'King of Torts' another predictable read

By Britany Ausmus and Brittany Ausmus · Sunday, March 21,2004 11:28 p.m.

As an author, John Grisham has had a great run. Almost any book with his name on the cover is guaranteed to reach the New York Times Bestseller List, and they are usually captivating, page turners. However, what works for Grisham has become quite apparent -- a small-time lawyer stumbles into a case beyond his or her scope and that case somehow changes his life. Did I mention nine times out of 10, this lawyer will be from a small town in the deep South?

Breakfast for dinner?

By Suzanna Lindemann and Suzanne Lindemann · Sunday, March 21,2004 11:24 p.m.

Living in the fast lane of college life has its ups and downs. One of these downs is studying all night and oversleeping to find yourself rushing out the door with no breakfast. Although this is something ill-advised by nutritionists, some of us just don't have the time to enjoy a healthy breakfast. Well, it's time to reclaim the lost time and have breakfast for dinner. Instead of running to Denny's or Waffle House, try these easy recipes you can make at home.

Bronzed after break

By Stephanie Morris · Sunday, March 21,2004 11:15 p.m.

As much as I'm going to miss spring break (and believe me, I am), it's always exciting to come back to IU for my favorite post-break game -- Spot the Fake Tan. It's the same every year. People leave town pale as ghosts or with a slight starter tan obtained from a tanning salon, but they come back looking as though they were shoved into an oven and browned like a batch of dinner rolls. Some of them left the country in search of warmer climate -- some of them are just trying to look like they did.

Haiti's fight for democracy

By Alyson Brodsy · Sunday, March 21,2004 11:13 p.m.

When we hear talk about democracy in Haiti, we often hear Jean-Bertrand Aristide won "flawed" elections in 2000. How exactly were these elections flawed? Aristide won by a landslide (92 percent of the vote) in which voter turnout at 65 percent of the population was greater than it was in the United States' 2000 presidential elections.

Mother Nature, may we?

By Alyson Brodsy · Sunday, March 21,2004 11:10 p.m.

As faithful readers know, few institutions are safe from the critical eye of the IDS editorial board: IU administrators, the state entomologist, the federal government, society as a whole -- we've attacked them all. But today, we're taking on a foe so powerful, so ubiquitous, it has never been battled in the media world. We're going to have a little talk with Mother Nature.

Hoosiers stay alive

By Tyler Hoeppner and Tyler V. Hoeppner · Friday, March 12,2004 12:46 a.m.

INDIANAPOLIS --With 8:15 to go in the second half and IU and Ohio State tied at 58, the Hoosiers took the lead with the unlikeliest of candidates. Junior Mark Johnson, a former walk-on, hit a three-pointer and helped lead the Hoosiers (14-14) to an 83-69 win over Ohio State (14-16) in the opening round of the Big Ten Tournament. "I'm just playing within the offense and seeing what happens," Johnson said. "I didn't realize what the score was. I got the pass. I was open, and I stroked it. It took a lot of pressure off of me and made me feel more comfortable out there."

By Charlie Cszrom · Friday, March 12,2004 12:44 a.m.

There are a lot of reasons for students to cancel their spring break plans -- but usually a military coup d'etat isn't one of them. The IU Timmy Foundation, a local chapter of the Indianapolis based organization that works to better the lives of children around the world, had planned a medical mission trip to Haiti to take place over spring break, but violent demonstration canceled their trip.
