Peachy keen summer treats

By Camilla Saulsbury · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

When I first arrived in Bloomington a few years ago, I burst into tears. I contend it was the confluence of a sleepless night, a long day of plane travel marked by multiple delays, and the growing anxiety of starting both a new degree and life in a Midwestern town more than 2,000 miles from my Bay Area home that reduced me to a pathetic puddle. My parents, who claim to know me better than I know myself, maintain that I was merely cranky from hunger.

Team drops first game

By Sarah Trotto · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

The Reebok Lady Stars brought its celebrity-studded lineup Wednesday night to Assembly Hall, much to the dismay of coach Kathi Bennett and the IU women's basketball team. WNBA standouts Katie Douglas and Ukari Figgs scorched the defensively-troubled Hoosiers, as the touring team of former college and professional players outlasted IU 84-83 in an exhibition game. Besides showing that Purdue products Douglas and Figgs can still knock-off IU, the night game proved to Bennett that her team needs to improve its transition defense, sloppy passing and ability to put away opponents. "They're very experienced," Bennett said about the Stars, who in recent weeks have pasted Butler 112-81 and Valparaiso 68-56. "They've been there, they know it and can play really loose."

Capturing the world through Ink

By Sean Nightingale · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Many lessons students learn at IU will take place outside the walls of the classroom. In a population that brings together students and faculty from all over the world to share ideas, a hidden curriculum presents itself throughout the community. It is evident in the many opportunities at IU for learning about the cultures of others. One such opportunity is a new exhibit titled "Rudy Pozzatti: A Printmaker's Odyssey," which will open to the public at the IU Art Museum Saturday and ends May 5. The exhibit is funded by the Richard Florsheim Art Fund, the IU Foundation, the Bloomington Area Arts Council Inc., the Indiana Arts Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts. It will feature more than 70 pieces -- mostly prints -- organized with a basis on Pozzatti's many themes.

Families should teach values

By Erin Hollinden · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

More and more people lament that parents do not take enough responsibility for raising their own children these days, for instilling moral values and good behavior in them. Many cite this trend to justify paternalistic big government. Some seem to think a mountain of new laws backed by police power is needed to protect decent folks from neglected youths running rampant.

Expectations mixed about new theatre

By Rachel Kipp · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

As the curtains went down on "Waiting for Godot," Dale McFadden knew it was time to say goodbye. McFadden, associate professor of theatre and drama, directed "Godot," the last play performed at the University Theatre. Although he said he is "grateful" to be moving to the facilities at the new Theatre/Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center, McFadden will miss the historic and aesthetic details of the old space.

Make a monkey out of me

By Joe Grace · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

After 16 hours of pretending to be a chimpanzee, I've decided that I don't like being one very much. In fact, I believe I hate being a chimp. Unfortunately, I'm stuck in this farce for the next eight hours because the professor of my chimpanzee class assigned us to eat like a chimp for 24 straight hours and I'm dumb enough not to think of a way out of it. I know what everyone is thinking. What is a journalism major doing in a class on monkeys? I have no idea. Next question, please.

IU could face tuition increase

By Erin Meyer · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Students will not be spared by the statewide fiscal problems facing Hoosiers at this year's General Assembly session. The projected $1.3 billion state deficit could force administrators to raise tuition if state revenues are not increased. If Indiana legislature is able to raise revenue and reduce spending, public education may not experience any further budget cuts and IU students may not have to deal with the resulting increase in tuition.

Seat belt malarkey

By Vince Carr and Vincent Carr · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

My political philosophy, grounded primarily in the libertarian principles and ideals that founded this great nation, has often been criticized as anti-government and insensitive. Two weeks ago, I realized why I appreciate and value my political beliefs so much when I was given a ticket for not wearing my seat belt.

KABUL, Afghanistan -- Shouting "Long Live Osama!" and "Death to America!" thousands of protesters burned an effigy of President Bush on Wednesday, then stormed the abandoned U.S. Embassy in the Afghan capital, torching old cars and a guardhouse and tearing down the U.S. seal above the entrance.
