Pugs provide families with show-quality dogs

·

Patricia Hallagan sits in her living room, surrounded by photographs of each of the pugs that has meant so much to her. Some are still with her, some she has sold and some have passed away. But she will not forget any of them -- she said she thinks of them as family members. "The grieving when you lose one is terrible," Hallagan said. But a brand new litter of pug puppies sits not 10-feet away. This tiny group is the product of "Megan" and "Liam," who was a "Best in Show" dog at one-year of age.

IU earns marks in the classroom

·

The NCAA coined the term "student-athlete" for college students who participated in varsity athletics to emphasize the point that they should be students first and athletes second. While this may not always be the case in other sports or at other schools, several of the IU women's soccer team members have received recognition for their work in the classroom. Last year, senior defender Carly Everett was named to the Verizon Academic All-Region team. Everett and senior defender Erin Hesselbach also earned Academic All Big Ten honors, along with senior goalkeeper Shaunna Daugherty, junior midfielder Kim Grodek, senior forward Shelly Gruszka, and senior midfielder Emily Hotz. Gruszka, Daugherty, Hesselbach and Hotz also earned Academic All Big Ten in 2001. Everett said student-athletes need to make sacrifices in order to keep up their studies.
