Surprise! You're a binge drinker

By Alyson Brodsy and Jake Rossman · Wednesday, Oct. 15,2003 1:14 a.m.

Of all the things to do after the homework is put away, something about binge drinking makes it a significantly popular leisure activity on college campuses nationwide. This could certainly be true at IU. It has been said in the Harvard School of Public Health College Alcohol Study that 54 percent of students here binge drink regularly.

Fake breasts, real problems

By Alyson Brodsy and Mathew S. Schoettmer · Wednesday, Oct. 15,2003 1:12 a.m.

In January 1992, the FDA started down a path that would lead to what is now essentially a ban on silicone gel breast implants. The FDA currently allows the silicone gel implants to be used in two circumstances. The first is for use in women who have undergone a mastectomy. The second circumstance is if they agree to be tracked as part of a long-term study.

IU takes home title in rain

By Jeff Overton · Wednesday, Oct. 15,2003 12:49 a.m.

The IU men's golf team started the final day in first place of the Xavier Invitational, only one stroke ahead of Marquette. The Hoosiers won their previous two tournaments with strong final round performances, and, with only a one-stroke lead, it appeared that the Hoosiers would need another strong final day. But the Hoosiers would not have to wait that long. Rain started falling around 10 a.m., and just over a half hour later, the course was declared unplayable. Play was ended at 10:33 a.m., and the Hoosiers took home their third consecutive title. "We took care of business to the point where the weather couldn't hurt us," IU coach Mike Mayer said in a statement. "We were ready to play today, but the conditions didn't warrant it. We got our third victory of the year, and I'm very proud of this team."

Coming back to school

By Liz Ranegar · Wednesday, Oct. 15,2003 12:40 a.m.

Like every new student at IU, freshman Liz Egan found herself both anxious and excited about starting her first day of classes. "It was pretty scary," she said. "It was overall very nerve-wracking." With the help of two very close family members, Egan managed to face her fears and made it through what was the beginning of a new chapter in her life. It's a typical situation, one that every freshman, past and present, can certainly relate to. But what makes Egan's experience a little different from what most would consider a typical first day of classes is that Egan is 38 years old. Her two close family members were not friends or parents, but her 10 and 12-year-old sons.

By Stacey Laskin · Tuesday, Oct. 14,2003 2:51 a.m.

The beat of the music hits the students in her hip-hop dance class as senior Diana Ballas shouts steps into the body mic attached to her waist. "It doesn't matter if you have a lot of dance experience, or if this is something you just became interested in," said Ballas, a Student Recreational Sports Center leader.

Let's get some runs

By Jack M. Silverstein and Jack Silverstein · Tuesday, Oct. 14,2003 2:50 a.m.

Holy Cow! Despite a setback in Game 5, the Cubbies have a chance to grab the National League Pennant tonight at Wrigley Field, the way it should be. With every twirl of Dusty Baker's toothpick I get more and more excited about this season, and the distinct possibility that in four days Kerry Wood could be pitching Game 1 of the World Series.

Suit aimed at NFL's pockets

Tuesday, Oct. 14,2003 2:47 a.m.

Once upon a time, a football game was an excuse to have a tailgate party. Now it seems like a tailgate party is an excuse to have a football game. Hang out at an NFL stadium before the game and one will find people aren't exactly in a hurry to get inside for the opening kickoff. Football is about ruggedness and revelry but not necessarily in that order.

By Cory Steger · Tuesday, Oct. 14,2003 2:45 a.m.

Sox hold off Yankees 3-2, series heads back to NYC

By Alyson Brodsy and Ronald Blum · Tuesday, Oct. 14,2003 2:44 a.m.

BOSTON -- No beanballs or brawls, just a dynamite knuckleball by Tim Wakefield that gave the New York Yankees fits and allowed the Boston Red Sox to knot the AL championship series. Wakefield struck out eight over seven-plus innings, and Todd Walker and Trot Nixon provided the offense with solo homers, leading Boston over New York 3-2 Monday night to tie the best-of-seven series at two games apiece. There was none of the fighting that marred Game 3 Saturday, and Wakefield beat Mike Mussina for the second time in the series, which now must return to Yankee Stadium later this week.

Invasion of the 'ladybugs'

By Brian Janosch · Tuesday, Oct. 14,2003 2:12 a.m.

Just as many students are beginning to get accustomed to the dorm lifestyle at IU, Mother Nature has decided to throw in another variable. Most have gotten used to the long walks, a snoring roommate and even the occasional cockroach they may see near the laundry room. But the bug problem has recently taken on an entirely different meaning.
