Sophomore Jordan Kyle said before Friday’s Indiana Intercollegiates in West Lafayette that he needed to run his own race to do well in the meet. Mission accomplished for Kyle, who won his second straight race to open the season with a time of 24 minutes and 39 seconds.

IU drops 2 tough games over weekend

By Brian Buckey · Sunday, Sept. 16,2007 11:13 p.m.

The IU field hockey team had a tough weekend, dropping two hard-fought contests to No. 12 Ohio and No. 5 Wake Forest at the IU Field Hockey Field. The Hoosiers raised their level of play to the competition, but fell just short in both games, losing to Ohio 1-0 and Wake Forest 2-1. “We didn’t get the results we wanted, but I think we had two good performances,” IU coach Amy Robertson said. “The job of the coaches is to always be working on the next thing and always trying to be taking steps forward. I think we took some big steps forward.” IU (4-3) lost a heartbreaker to Ohio on Friday. The Hoosiers and Bobcats played evenly throughout the game, with Ohio outshooting IU 10-8 and earning a 5-3 advantage in penalty corners.

Indianapolis goes on the road, beats Tennessee

By Associated Press and Aaron Beard · Sunday, Sept. 16,2007 10:51 p.m.

Vince Young and the Tennessee Titans have run out of magic, at least against the Indianapolis Colts. Peyton Manning threw for 312 yards and a touchdown, and the Colts held off Tennessee for a 22-20 victory Sunday when the Titans couldn’t pull off a final-drive comeback. This time, the Titans (1-1) trailed by 13 points instead of 14.

Not a woman’s burden

By Anna Piontek · Sunday, Sept. 16,2007 10:26 p.m.

ATTENTION ALL WOMEN! In order to avoid rape or assault, abstain from leaving your home at night. If you must go out for, say, a medical emergency, travel in a herd; form a human shield if necessary. Never attend parties and never consume alcoholic beverages, as a state of intoxication renders you more vulnerable to attacks.

Undocumented successes

Sunday, Sept. 16,2007 10:22 p.m.

No admission to state schools for illegal immigrants. No financial aid for illegal immigrants. These are the new rallying cries of Virginia politician Jerry Kilgore, who wants to pass a law banning illegal immigrants from state universities. Is this an actual policy or just political rabble-rousing? Could this trend continue at IU? The issue has emotional value for many voters and thus garners media attention - not just because it is underhanded to use as scapegoats those who have no political rights to defend themselves, but also because it exploits the nerves of Americans who are struggling to pay tuition.

Human after all

By John Barnett and Stefania Marghitu · Sunday, Sept. 16,2007 10:20 p.m.

I spent the first part of my summer studying in Florence, Italy along with 35 other IU students. During my time there, I learned a lot about Italian culture, history and art. I also ended up learning a lot about American culture – specifically, IU culture. Our program was like a microcosm of IU. We even learned directly from IU professors in the comfort of our own pension and around Florence. We consisted of greek members, artsy kids, music majors, a football player and so many more.

Make war with love

By Brian J. McFillen · Sunday, Sept. 16,2007 10:19 p.m.

Do you love your country? Do you love it more than going to class? Last week, an event came to pass that threatened to upend the world order and undermine U.S. competitiveness in a key strategic area – and it’s going to be up to us to take a break from school and set things right.

Gradually green

By Abby Schwimmer and Ab Schwimmer · Sunday, Sept. 16,2007 10:18 p.m.

For this week’s column, I thought I’d preach at you about something, well, environmental, for a change. Recently, I read an article about how Quarter Pounders and top sirloin are destroying the environment, and I thought that would be perfect to discuss. It turns out that annually, massive animal feeding operations release into the atmosphere more than 100 million tons of methane, a greenhouse gas that’s about 20 times more powerful than carbon dioxide. As far as my column’s call to action, it would be fairly straightforward: go vegetarian.

Last Friday night, couples, families and friends laid out their blankets on the grass and set up folding chairs as they prepared for a night of Shakespeare when the Monroe County Civic Theater debuted a contemporary version of “Romeo and Juliet,” at Third Street Park.
