Look ma, no hands

By Alex Hickey · Monday, Sept. 1,2003 1:44 a.m.

I drove 15 hours to see IU play football, and all I got was this lousy performance. Sure IU's 34-10 loss to UConn wasn't the lowest moment in team history. It might not even rank in the Bottom 10. But it certainly was one of the more excruciating displays of football that I have ever had the pleasure of witnessing.

LoVecchio out-dueled in debut; struggles in first half

By Gavin Lesnick · Monday, Sept. 1,2003 1:39 a.m.

East Hartford, Conn. -- Quarterback Matt LoVecchio probably didn't envision an IU debut quite like this. The junior, who sat out last season as a transfer from Notre Dame, struggled against UConn amid dropped passes, turnovers and a defense that limited him to only 28 yards passing in the first half of IU's 34-10 loss.

Not a day off for everyone

By -Kehla West · Monday, Sept. 1,2003 1:28 a.m.

Labor Day, a holiday in honor of workers, means many local businesses and local schools will be closed, and picnickers will have one last chance before fall weather sets in. IU students, on the other hand, will be heading to their first day of classes.

Freshmen invade Wal-Mart

By Jackie Walker and Jacqueline Walker · Monday, Sept. 1,2003 1:27 a.m.

Madness doesn't even begin to describe it. Words like chaos, mayhem and pandemonium might be more appropriate. The buses were packed, the aisles were crowded and the lines were long. Still, students and Wal-Mart associates agreed that Midnight Madness was exciting, spirited and once more, a real success. The annual late-night promotional event put on by Wal-Mart targets students and features lowered prices and raffles.

UConn hands IU tough loss

By John Rodgers · Monday, Sept. 1,2003 1:27 a.m.

East Hartford, Conn. -- Four years vs. 104. That's how long the University of Connecticut has been playing Division I-A football compared to IU's tenure in the Big Ten. But on Saturday, it seemed the opposite as UConn manhandled the Hoosiers offensively and defensively to claim a 34-10 rout in the opening of Rentschler Field. The much anticipated debut of junior quarterback Matt LoVecchio never got off the ground as two UConn offensive stars -- junior Dan Orlovsky and sophomore Terry Caulley -- stole the show. Orlovsky completed 26 of 42 passes for 307 yards while Caulley gained 170 yards on 22 carries. Coach Gerry DiNardo said he didn't expect the offense's inefficiency and IU's three fumbles that resulted in turnovers.

Welcome to the party

By Alyson Brodsy · Monday, Sept. 1,2003 1:26 a.m.

The weekend festivities start at roughly 9:30 p.m. While some haul couches to front porches, plop kegs down in kitchens and hang dark bed sheets in windows, others spend hours getting ready and coordinating on cell phones. For some students, the quest is to find that $3 red plastic cup filled with diluted "all-you-can-drink" jungle juice or less-than-quality beer. For others, it's a trip to the bars to mingle and meet friends. The scene seems familiar -- another year of "Thirsty Thursdays" that bleed into all hours of the weekend.

Arrests do not rely on ranking, IUPD says

By Brandon Morley and Brandon S Morley · Monday, Sept. 1,2003 1:23 a.m.

Since IU earned the reputation in the eyes of the Princeton Review as the No. 1 party school in August 2002, members of the campus community seem to wonder what effect that title has had on the way the IU Police Department enforces alcohol laws on campus.

Buses with character

By Jenny Davis · Monday, Sept. 1,2003 1:16 a.m.

Riding on the inside of Bloomington Transit buses provides students and community members a certain level of familiarity with the system and the equipment, but the real soul of the vehicles is much more evident as they pull away.

Something clicked in Michael Mettler in 1987 when he visited the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. He came home and began painting -- landscapes mostly. An easy smile settled on his face as he talked about his transformation Saturday.

There's nothing surprising about the American military's troubles in Iraq. At least, there aren't any surprises if you know American history.
