By Aaron Beard · Monday, April 2,2007 12 a.m.

With three-fourths of a lap remaining, Cutters rider Alex Bishop all but wrapped up his second consecutive Miss-n-Out victory. Although Bishop was joined on the track with two of the fastest sprinters in the field – Dodds House rider Chris Chartier and Phi Kappa Psi rider Erik Styacich – he won the race by getting to Turn 1 first.

EN GARDE!

By Tom Kir · Monday, April 2,2007 12 a.m.

Basketball. Jogging. Sword fights. It wasn’t the most typical weekend at the Wildermuth Gymnasium. The IU Fencing Club hosted the United States Association of Collegiate Fencing Clubs’ national championships at the School of Health, Physical Education and Recreation this weekend. While most HPER occupants are decked in gym shorts and Under Armour, these patrons donned real armor – and sabers.

‘F’N’ TV station

By Abra Oliver · Monday, April 2,2007 12 a.m.

When it comes to the never-ending battle of content versus decency in the media, the Indiana Daily Student takes more than its fair share of campus outrage. From student groups upset about how they’re being represented to angry local politicians with a chip on their shoulders, on any given day there is at least one angry person that attempts to set fire to Ernie Pyle Hall. The management has, on occasion, even been known to sleep in the newsroom for fear that they won’t make it to their cars, beaten brutally and left for dead. Fortunately the staff is protected from the ire of the outside world by an impregnable shield known as the First Amendment.

Calm before the storm

By Matt Mattucci · Monday, April 2,2007 12 a.m.

Eighteen-year-old Eric Gordon stands to the side of the court at Freedom Hall in Louisville, Ky. His face drips with sweat, yet he’s completely relaxed. A barrage of young fans, armed with posters, photos and Sharpies, frantically pushes its way toward the teenager. He’s the calm before the storm. Eric just got done playing in the McDonald’s All American Game, a nationally televised showcase of the most talented high school senior basketball players in the country.

It wasn’t easy, but the IU women’s tennis team’s winning streak against Michigan State hit the three-decade mark after Sunday’s 5-2 victory in East Lansing, Mich.
