Who are these guys?

By Alyson Brodsy and Andrew Shaffer · Sunday, Oct. 29,2006 11:24 p.m.

In the two years I have covered IU football, I have never seen a Hoosier team like the one that played Saturday. I have never seen a Hoosier quarterback look so comfortable or an offensive line look so impenetrable. I have never seen a Hoosier defense dominate for four quarters. Perhaps due in part to IU coach Terry Hoeppner's declaration, in part to the homecoming weekend and in part to the Hoosiers' handling of Michigan State on Saturday, I have never seen a Memorial Stadium crowd so loud.

Dietetics class teaches how to prepare food

By Maria Srour · Sunday, Oct. 29,2006 11:06 p.m.

A dorm cafeteria meal is not as simple as it seems. Each element is the product of a long line of dieticians, cooks, servers and distributors. The School of Health, Physical Education and Recreation course N321: Quantitative Food Purchasing and Production, focuses on the process behind serving that not-so-simple meal. The course is required for seniors in the Didactic Program in Dietetics. Its objectives include teaching students the principles of menu planning, pricing and evaluation, food purchasing, forecasting and production and food product flow. All these principles are taught with the idea of preparing large amounts of food for schools, hospitals and other mass-service eateries.
