Broncos and Chiefs collide in battle of unbeatens

·

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- There's a lot more to Sunday's AFC West matchup than a mere showdown between unbeaten teams going head-to-head for first place. Denver (4-0) versus Kansas City (4-0) also features the highest-scoring team in the NFL vs. point-producer No. 4; a kick returner on a historic hot streak; and a new Broncos quarterback whose stats could bring John Elway to mind.

Weapons inspector says no WMD found WASHINGTON -- Chief weapons searcher David Kay said Thursday he has found no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq so far, but he cautioned his team was still in the middle of an intensive hunt. On the issue of whether Saddam Hussein had been in the process of reviving efforts to develop a nuclear weapons program, Kay said investigators had found no evidence beyond a possible tentative restart "at the very most rudimentary level."

A few minutes with Stanley Q.

·

As it so frequently occurs, I was interrupted the other day by none other than my old accomplice Stanley Q. Studmuffin. Since he has spent the past week intensely focused on Calgary Flames preseason action, he's been left in the dark about IU football. So he left me some questions to answer about this week's game.

Who can be racist?

·

For the past three weeks, many discussions have surfaced concerning race relations at IU and in America. Exchanges like these between whites and non-whites are important because honest discussion between people of different racial backgrounds is the first step toward solving America's racial problem. Oftentimes, whites do not feel comfortable talking about race because they do not want to be labeled "racists." The honest arguments by white people are commendable, because by joining the discussion they will discover more about themselves and those they discuss. But in order to communicate clearly, we must first define all terms that are being used.

Lack of citations could be trouble

·

Junior Kyle Gantz recently learned more about the Fox television show "Alias" than he will ever need to know. He spent more than 10 hours researching and writing a 6-page paper about the show's cinematography for a telecommunications class. The assignment was worth 4 percent of Gantz's final grade. He received a 0. He made one mistake -- an error citing the "Alias" tagline he saw on the DVD box.
