Indiana governor's race heats up

By Tony Sams · Thursday, Aug. 26,2004 12:04 a.m.

While the summer frequently provides a lull and a vacation for many, the race for Indiana's governor's mansion has continued at high speed and is becoming one of the most closely watched races in the 2004 election. Gov. Joe Kernan, 58, is the Democratic nominee who took over the office after Gov. Frank O'Bannon died of a stroke in September 2003. Kernan, a former three-term mayor of South Bend and lieutenant governor under O'Bannon, is seeking a full term of his own.

Follow your nose

By Joanna Borns · Thursday, Aug. 26,2004 12 a.m.

Afriend and I were contemplating an age-old introspective question that everyone has to ask themselves at one point in life: If given the opportunity, which cereal cartoon mascot would you want to hook up with? For me, it's Toucan Sam. The British accent gets me every time.

In Nick Hornby's wonderful book "High Fidelity," the "moral" of the tale is summed up with the oft-quoted line: "It's what you like, not what you are like."

You must be blitzed not to like this title

John Madden has reached a point in his career where he is almost better known for licensing his surname to a successful series of video games than he is for announcing or coaching.

Everyone has at least heard of the classic 1972 movie "Deliverance," where a group of guys takes a trip down a river in Georgia backcountry and meet up with some pretty scary hillbillies.

Queen is king of 'best of' collections

By -Nate Bethea · Thursday, Aug. 26,2004 12 a.m.

I really have no idea as to whether or not Queen is considered one of those bands like The Beatles or Led Zeppelin that you're "required" to like if you call yourself a rock fan.

A dearth of grease

By Adam Aasen · Wednesday, Aug. 25,2004 11:58 p.m.

The Indiana State Fair is about to come to an end once again, and I can't say I participated. Because of scheduling problems, I was unable to partake in greasy, triple-fried snack treats. I wasn't able to walk through animal dung, deafened by the sound of bleating sheep. I wasn't able to shell out my entire wallet to wait in line for shakey, disappointing rides.

Names, names, go away

By Amanda Trost · Wednesday, Aug. 25,2004 11:55 p.m.

The end of the summer is upon us, and soon we will be gracing the hallowed halls of this beautiful campus.

By Alyson Brodsy · Wednesday, Aug. 25,2004 11:54 p.m.

The oh-so convenient Park and Ride Shuttle won't be quite so convenient anymore. Beginning Sept. 6, students who ride the Park and Ride bus to campus will have to park at the Winslow Sports Complex instead of Bryan Park. Do you know where Winslow Sports Complex is? We didn't think so. The Winslow Sports Complex, located next to the YMCA on Highland Avenue, south of campus, is two and a half miles away from campus -- two miles farther than Bryan Park.

Two firms chosen to build missile defense for commercial airplanes

By Alyson Brodsy · Wednesday, Aug. 25,2004 11:51 p.m.

WASHINGTON -- Teams led by BAE Systems and Northrup Grumman were chosen Wednesday to build and test prototypes for anti-missile systems to defend U.S. commercial planes against shoulder-fired rockets. The Homeland Security Department said the companies will each get $45 million over the next 18 months. It's the second phase of the agency's effort to determine whether affordable, effective anti-missile systems can be deployed on commercial planes.
