IUSF losing credibility; rules should apply to all riders

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

Michael Kehrberg is very familiar with the hills of Bloomington. He has pedaled up most of the mountainous inclines including one that leads from the house he grew up in. Kehrberg belongs on a bike. But for the third consecutive year Kehrberg will be one of 17,000 spectators watching Little 500 from the stands. And it's not because he doesn't want to ride. It's because, for the past two years, he's abided by an IUSF rule -- the same rule that was recently bent for Joshua Weir of Team Major Taylor.

By Zack Eldridge · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

After one season as a Wolverine, he followed in the footsteps of his two older brothers and decided to attend IU. Held's two older brothers, David and Andrew, both played four years of tennis at IU, so it was a natural decision for him. David Held played for IU from 1990-1993 and Andrew Held played from 1995-1998.

Say It Isn't So

By Jack M. Silverstein · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Boy meets girl, boy likes girl, girl cuts boy's ear off, boy and girl get engaged, boy and girl are siblings. Just another normal day in the twisted world of the Farrelly brothers, right? Wrong. Do not be mistaken.

One year later, one year better

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Usually, hindsight is 20-20. At IU, hindsight is 21-13 -- the Hoosiers' record last year under first-year head basketball coach Mike Davis. This record, along with the lack of off-court and on-court antics, makes IU a better university with a more respectable basketball program than it was in the final years under former coach Bob Knight.

Final road trip points east

By Matt Pera · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

When Jerry Yeagley put together the schedule for the men's soccer 2001 season, an easy finale wasn't one of his priorities. Instead, the No. 6 Hoosiers final road trip will pit them against a No.10 Rutgers squad Friday and a dangerous Princeton team Sunday. "They're both going to be very difficult games," coach Yeagley said. "But we want tough games against national contenders at the end of the regular season." The Hoosiers (10-3-0) will get that tough game Friday night, when they match up with Rutgers (9-2-3). IU has faced the Scarlet Knights only three times, holding a 2-1 lead in the series. The last time the two teams played each other was in 1997 when the Hoosiers managed a 4-3 victory.

Gophers dominate Hoosiers

By Sara Meinecke and Sarah Meinecke · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

MINNEAPOLIS -- The tall forward with the No. 1 across his chest was jumping and screaming, his face bright red, with 40 seconds left in the IU-Minnesota men's basketball game Saturday afternoon. For IU fans, it was the wrong No.1. Instead, it was a blonde-haired freshman that was celebrating the Minnesota upset of the Hoosiers. The Golden Gophers came back from a 11-point deficit to defeat IU, 88-74. Rick Rickert led Minnesota in its disruption of the Hoosiers' winning streak with 27 points in 32 minutes, and in the process, made a strong push for his candidacy for the Big Ten Freshman of the Year award.

By Cory Schouten · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Students will have one more option for campus transportation when fall classes start later this month, as IU enters the second year of a three-year phase-in universal bus plan. Access to a stadium-to-campus shuttle will be added to services already available: Bloomington Transit and a late-night shuttle service. All will be available with a student ID and are funded by a $27.66 per semester transportation fee. Full implementation of universal service could cost students twice that per semester, officials say.

2nd-place finishes annoy rider

By Aaron Sharockman · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

In 1999, senior Todd Cornelius got a great look at the rear wheel of Sigma Phi Epsilon rider Jason Baker's bicycle, falling .113 seconds short of Baker in a final sprint for first position in the Little 500. Cornelius and his Phi Gamma Delta team had to settle for second place. Cornelius had a pretty good view of Chris Wojtowich riding past the entire field to win last year's Little 500 as well. Then a junior, Cornelius and his Fiji team finished second to the Cutters in the race's 50th running.

Environmental groups seek cleaner vehicles

By J. Chris Carmichael · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

During the past six months, President George W. Bush has upset environmentalist groups. Within 60 days of his inauguration, Bush had reneged on his campaign promise to force energy companies to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. And, in March, the Bush administration rejected the Kyoto Protocol, which is committed to reducing greenhouse emissions in 37 industrialized nations. Bush has expressed concerns that emission reductions may have a negative impact on the U.S. economy and has questioned the science behind global warming. But scientists and environmental groups feel that global warming is a serious and real dilemma.
