Birds of a different feather

By Dan Cohen and Daniel Cohen · Tuesday, March 9,2004 11:55 p.m.

I wonder if Pampers is looking for a new spokesman? Because I found one. Say hi to Terrell Owens, who, after eight years of crying in San Francisco, the big baby -- also known as T.O. -- finally cried loud enough that the 49ers gave him a new toy in a trade to Baltimore. But like a toddler opening up a gift and finding tube socks, Terrell is crying again.

Bush's proposed constitutional amendment, which would define marriage as an institution between a man and a woman.

Talkin' 'bout my generation

By Alyson Brodsy and Brian Matzke · Tuesday, March 9,2004 11:19 p.m.

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked," says Allen Ginsberg in the first line of "Howl," the seminal poem of the beat generation. Ginsberg published the poem in 1956. In it he describes his generation as one that has been destroyed because the spirit and love presented in its most creative minds have been marginalized by mainstream society, plunging them into a world of decadence.

Kerry: No Iraq flip-flop

By Alyson Brodsy and Chris Hintz · Tuesday, March 9,2004 11:16 p.m.

It has begun -- the presidential campaign of 2004. Now that John Kerry is well on his way to becoming the official Democratic nominee, many are trying to paint him as a serial flip-flopper. In particular, they have zeroed in on his criticism of the war in Iraq as being contradictory to his initial vote in favor. This is no contradiction -- and there is good reason to question whether invading Iraq was the best way to become more secure.

Sorry campus drivers, your opportunity to scare the pants off a helpless freshman pedestrian could be coming to an end. Residential Programs and Services is proposing a crosswalk on Fee Lane to aid University newbies in their daily commute. Future residents of McNutt, Briscoe and Foster may now be able to walk safely from the food court to the bus stop, and back again. The only remaining obstacle is city approval, which could come by this summer.

By Rick Newkirk · Tuesday, March 9,2004 1:05 a.m.

The Hillel Center was filled with sand, leis and hamentaschen Monday as Jewish students observed Purim with the first annual "Jews Gone Wild" celebration. Although Purim is an age-old tradition, "Jews Gone Wild" is the brainchild of Hillel Assistant Director Jessie Mallor and social chairs, Elizabeth Rosenberg and Peri Berntsen. The group developed the idea to give Jewish students a way to celebrate their traditions while preparing for spring break.

Doubles duo makes national rankings

By Dan Click · Tuesday, March 9,2004 1:02 a.m.

Being friends on the court is part of the territory when it comes to playing sports for any team. But the friendship sophomore John Stone and junior Ryan Recht have off the court has led to success on the tennis courts as they achieved the No. 49 national ranking in doubles in late February. In the season thus far, the Hoosier tandem has compiled a record of 10-4 at the No. 1 doubles slot for the Hoosiers. They have done this against some of the top competition in the country and were able to pull off an upset earlier in the season, before they were nationally ranked in defeating Middle Tennessee State's No. 30, Trevor Short and Kirk Jackson 8-4 Jan. 24. Before they achieved national-ranking status, they began the season ranked No. 13 in the Midwest Region and were able to defeat the No. 9 team in the Midwest from Ball State 9-7 -- which paced the Hoosiers in the victory over the Cardinals. Being nationally ranked was a nice feeling for Stone and Recht in light of the hard work from the fall season and carrying it over into a successful start in the regular season, Recht said. "It was a great feeling going through that list and to see our names on there," Recht said. "I wasn't expecting it right away, but it was a good feeling." This isn't the first time the duo played together, as they were able to finish out the regular season as partners last year and were able to compile a 5-6 record, including 3-3 in the Big Ten.
