Sophomore's poem highlights induction ceremony

By Brian Baker · Thursday, Aug. 25,2005 2:21 a.m.

The University seal lowered and the pipe organ blew to announce the beginning of IU's Freshman Induction Ceremony, the official acceptance of Bloomington's newly initiated Class of 2009. The event, which annually serves to welcome freshmen and to provide emotional salve to parents just before the moment of severance, could have been mistaken for the marriage of lesser royals had it not been for an abundance of Hollister T-shirts. Still, amid what some could justifiably have conceived as pomp, the event was not thoughtfully dismissed.

Tour director: Armstrong 'fooled' the sports world

By Alyson Brodsy and Angela Doland · Thursday, Aug. 25,2005 1:19 a.m.

PARIS - Sounding convinced that Lance Armstrong is guilty of doping, the director of the Tour de France said "we were all fooled" and the seven-time champion owes an explanation for "proven scientific facts" from a newspaper report alleging he cheated to win cycling's most prestigious event. Jean-Marie Leblanc's comments appeared in the French sports daily L'Equipe Wednesday, a day after the newspaper reported that six urine samples provided by Armstrong during the '99 Tour tested positive for the red blood cell-booster EPO.

Turkish standout Cem Dinc made his own recruiting waves Thursday when he expressed interest in attending IU this year. The 6-foot-10, 255-pound center cancelled visits to the University of Florida and the University of North Carolina after spending the early part of the week in Bloomington.

By Peter Chen · Thursday, Aug. 25,2005 1:16 a.m.

If you've looked in a urinal around campus lately, you may have seen a curious screen under that urinal cake. Ladies, you'll just have to take my word on this one. They are typical urinal screens, but instead of a reminder to flush, they read: "You hold in your hand the power to stop sexual assault."

Indebted to debt

By Alyson Brodsy and Adam Sedia · Thursday, Aug. 25,2005 1:15 a.m.

For any college student (except those with a parental carte blanche), debt remains a very real threat, if not a reality already. I know economics tends to be a dry subject, but for any student with debt or soon to be accumulating debt, the subject of bankruptcy is urgent.

Hot or not?

By Maggie Bozich · Thursday, Aug. 25,2005 1:15 a.m.

Before the technology gurus at IU pat themselves on the back, there are still some improvements to be made to our "hot" technology campus.

IU's position in the recent college rankings reflects the good, the bad and the ugly.
