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.

Escaping terror

By Elise LeBlanc · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Mike Weichman, an IU alumnus, had an office with an unbeatable view. Looking out the windows of the 81st floor of One World Trade Center, he would see the Statue of Liberty rising above a sparkling Hudson Bay. He resigned from his job at the beginning of September. Several days later, he would stand on the roof of his apartment building, adjacent to the Empire State building and Times Square, and survey the wreckage of the World Trade Centers.

Women prepare for match with Butler

By Nate Rau · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Chances are Butler won't show the women's basketball team anything they haven't already seen early this season. At 0-4 Butler is losing by 35 points on average. IU on the other hand has faced two top ten teams in Stanford and North Carolina State, and while the Hoosiers came up short in those two games, the experience of playing top teams has prepared the Hoosiers for the rest of its non-conference schedule.

By Alexis Silas · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Every day, Mandy Madden walks past the bridge on Jordan Avenue bearing Jill Behrman's name and says a prayer. "I pray for Jill, I pray for everyone," the sophomore said. "I just pray and I ask for things -- like that nobody forgets about what happened." Today the paint on the bridge is chipping away and bits of the walls are crumbling, but no one has forgotten Jill Behrman, the freshman who disappeared from Bloomington May 31, 2000.

Tables are turned: Team asks questions

By Jason Recker · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

IU waxed Northwestern by nine field goals and four safeties Saturday. I said they'd lose. I was wrong. Way wrong. Let's have a little pow-wow with the football team and let them ask me questions (this is all make believe, just like Mr. Rogers and that little whistling train). Me: Mr. Cameron, I'll start with you. Coach Cameron: So, I'm fired, eh? Sure didn't look like that Saturday, now did it? You're mean. Quit being so mean. Me: No. Not until you win more than four games in a season. And I didn't appreciate that cold shoulder at Iowa. For Saturday, congrats, but you're still fired. Next, Mr. Randle El.
