It is the biggest stage in football. Everybody watches, and everybody who plays knows a national audience is watching and wants to perform to the best of their abilities.
As the election season heats up, candidates seem to make a new campaign promise every day. Most promises include spending millions or even billions of dollars of the projected $4.6 trillion budget surplus to benefit a certain group of voters. Gore's overall plan, "Prosperity for America's Families," includes tax cuts and the creation of a $300 billion "reserve fund," among other expenditures, according to USA Today. Bush's plan, "Blueprint for the Middle Class," also includes tax cuts, and promises billions of dollars for reading programs, teacher training and recruitment, community health centers and programs for people with disabilities. And each major party candidate is accusing the other of overspending the surplus by about $1 trillion, according to USA Today.
The Main Library was transformed last night, as nearly 200 people filled the lobby to attend a symposium to honor the archives of the late Herman B Wells.

This distance holds new significance this year, since the 2000 Women's NCAA Championship race will be a 6K, rather than a 5K as in previous years.
Wisconsin sits near the top of the Big Ten heading into the opening weekend of the volleyball season. Northwestern idles in the league cellar. Indiana hovers between both, not expected to contend for the conference crown, but not expected to join the Wildcats in the basement.
Local Boy Scouts are being forced to re-evaluate their funding sources after the Monroe County United Way board ruled to cut funding to groups that refuse to sign a nondiscrimination policy. The Boy Scouts cannot sign the policy, scout executive Randy Brown said, due to the barring of homosexual leaders and scouts from their organization.
Professor Murray Sperber's office in Ballantine Hall is a disorganized mess. His computer sits on a wooden chair, boxes clutter the small room and stacks of papers fill almost every square inch of free space. There's barely enough room for his dog to find a spot to lay down.
In a move she called a coup, former IU basketball coach Bob Knight's secretary, Mary Ann Davis will be reassigned within the University, athletics director Clarence Doninger said Thursday. Davis said she was forced to leave against her wishes by Doninger.
