IU students participate in 2nd annual torch ride to benefit IUDM and Riley

By Whitney Mitchell · Thursday, Oct. 18,2007 11:29 p.m.

More than 60 IU students will gear up for the IU Dance Marathon’s second annual torch ride today. The 60-mile bicycle ride, which starts at the Riley Outpatient Center in Indianapolis and ends in Bloomington, was created to honor Riley Hospital patients and Ashley Crouse, a former IU student and IUDM organizer who was killed in a car accident in 2005.

IU goes to Michigan on short week

By Harry Buc · Thursday, Oct. 18,2007 11:26 p.m.

The IU volleyball team will travel to face No. 15 Michigan on Friday (16-4, 4-4) for a 7 p.m. date with the Wolverines. Michigan has lost only four games this season and was a perfect 13-0 before losing its first match, equaling the best start in the program’s history. The Wolverines sit in a three-way tie for fourth in the Big Ten, directly below IU, who is tied with Purdue for fourth. The Wolverines have won 10 of the last 15 outings against the Hoosiers, but IU leads the all-time series 32-24-1.

Hoosiers insist they’ll ‘Play 13’

By Tom Kir · Thursday, Oct. 18,2007 11:24 p.m.

Last season, IU was 5-4 after a win against Michigan State with three games remaining on the schedule. The Hoosiers would have been bowl eligible if they had emerged victorious the following week at Minnesota. Sadly for IU, it was thumped 63-26, and then dropped its remaining two games of the year to finish 5-7 – prolonging the bowl drought.

By Brian Buckey · Thursday, Oct. 18,2007 11:23 p.m.

When the IU field hockey team takes on No. 7 Michigan State on Saturday at the IU Field Hockey Field, the Hoosiers will be looking for their first Big Ten win of the season and a measure of revenge for last season. Last year, Michigan State handed IU two of its five losses, including a 3-1 victory in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament, ending IU’s season.

Size doesn’t matter when it comes to the next game

By Matt Dollinger · Thursday, Oct. 18,2007 10:57 p.m.

I hate the phrase “biggest game of the year.” It’s the most overused phrase in sports aside from “alleged steroid-user” and “Grossman interception.” It’s the sportswriter’s version of “taking it one game at a time.”

ONLINE ONLY: Hasta la vista, Terminator?

By Cory Barker · Thursday, Oct. 18,2007 9:21 p.m.

One of the most important moments of my childhood was when I saw “Terminator 2.” Many might have found it too graphic for someone my age to be watching, but I couldn’t have cared less. I had all the action figures, including a huge talking T-101, the character Arnold Schwarzenegger made famous. The character, in all its bloody, half-man half-machine glory, was on my 5th birthday cake.

Happy hating

By Michael Duncan · Thursday, Oct. 18,2007 9:19 p.m.

I love to rant. But as is often the case, there are many things I want to say that don’t really warrant expression in a column.

Missing the point

By Jacob Levin · Thursday, Oct. 18,2007 9:17 p.m.

If the fashions I’ve been seeing around campus are any indication of the current moral climate, it would seem that concern for public welfare is at an all time high. Most of these fashions manifest themselves as T-shirts from campus charity events, and lately I’ve been paying attention to how many people are wearing clothes or items that represent some cause. Their prevalence is astounding, and they’ve surely led to a lot of money being donated toward their causes. But this kind of charity has a downside as well.

Action, action

Thursday, Oct. 18,2007 9:09 p.m.

When affirmative action was outlawed in California a decade ago, many thought it represented the end of diversity in college enrollment. And for a while, the evidence supported that theory. Black enrollment went into a sharp decline only reversed this year, and while Chinese students are the second largest population group at UC Berkeley, less than 2 percent of freshmen at UCLA last year were black. Clearly, the influx of diversity hasn’t been equal across the board.
