Jordan River Forum

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Sept. 9,2003 1:58 a.m.

Downtown grows up

By Gary Guffey · Tuesday, Sept. 9,2003 1:51 a.m.

A gaze toward the skyline of downtown Bloomington's west side quickly fixates on the structural skeletons of four construction cranes. They hover ominously over their worksites, as if they're trying to magically pull high-rise developments from the limestone base of south-central Indiana.

Ready to run to the top of the team

By Alex Witteveld · Tuesday, Sept. 9,2003 1:48 a.m.

Sophomore Stephen Haas thinks he can make a major contribution to the Hoosier cross country team this year. "I am in a lot better shape this year," Haas said."Last year my track season ran so long that I was not ready for the cross country season." Last season, Haas ran an IU freshman record of 14:25 for the 5,000 meters. He also ran an 8:19 in the 3,000 meters, becoming only the 19th runner in IU history to break 8:20 indoors. Although Haas had a great track season, summer meets extended his season, and he was in shape for shorter distances as compared to the longer races in cross country. "This year I have been putting in a lot more mileage over the summer," Haas said. "I have been running about 90 miles a week, and I am a lot more confident." Last year, Haas was hampered by an injury during the track season, but he came back strong.

Religious fanaticism dissected in Krakauer's latest

By Joe Troyer · Tuesday, Sept. 9,2003 1:19 a.m.

What in the world is journalist Jon Krakauer doing writing about Mormons? The answer is simpler than it would initially seem. In "Under the Banner of Heaven," Krakauer attempts to explore the ideas and events that cause people to perpetrate crimes in the name of religion. Though his reporting at times reflects the bias of his agnostic roots, Krakauer is largely successful in his initial foray outside the realm of mountaineering and outdoors literature.
