Future of Ground Zero remains in question

By Emily Veach · Tuesday, Sept. 10,2002 6:17 p.m.

NEW YORK -- They come from all over the world to prove to themselves that it's real. Day after day, thousands of tourists shuffle along the viewing platform on the edge of Ground Zero. It's a perpetual wake to mourn the dead and quantify the chaos.

This wall does speak

By Elise LeBlanc · Tuesday, Sept. 10,2002 6:16 p.m.

NEW YORK -- "If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again." These words are engraved on a gray slab of rock, along with the initials "ASD" scratched into the bottom right-hand corner. It's propped up against a memorial aptly named the "Wall of Tears," located in Battery Park. The wall is hard to miss because it's marked by a police department, fire department and U.S. flag, which are all secured to a tall pole that sways in the breeze but is weighed down by giant, cream-colored concrete blocks with law enforcement emblems painted on the sides.

You could never imagine until you've been there

By Elise LeBlanc · Tuesday, Sept. 10,2002 6:15 p.m.

Ground Zero takes up two city blocks. This statement lacks meaning until you understand the term "concrete jungle" is the most accurate description of New York City you will ever have. In a city where trees are a rare commodity, space is nonexistent and you're more likely to look up and see a skyscraper than the sky, it's a punch in the gut to round the corner to see -- emptiness.

How the IDS chronicled 365 days of living in a different world

Tuesday, Sept. 10,2002 6:12 p.m.

As journalists, we're always looking for the big story. It seems each year at the Indiana Daily Student brings at least one. In the past few years, those big stories have included the death of Herman B Wells, the installment of a new chancellor and the Final Four. And for Hoosiers, how could a story be any bigger than the firing of Bob Knight?

Taking you there and back again

By Aaron Sharockman · Tuesday, Sept. 10,2002 6:09 p.m.

This story has touched everyone, and we knew it would from the moment we began covering it one year ago. Circled around our tiny television, we were paralyzed like the rest of the IU community. We worked on the story -- one eye on the computer screen, one peering at

Blowout is cause for concern

By Alyson Brodsy and Sarah Meinecke · Tuesday, Sept. 10,2002 1:08 a.m.

They're baaaaack. It's unfortunate to say, but the IU football team that has so famously self-imploded in the past made its comeback debut on Saturday against Utah 40-13. That's not even close to being a competitive game. For the Hoosiers that showed so much potential in the win against William and Mary, they certainly showed that giving IU the benefit of the doubt only causes heartache. So without further adieu, here is this week's awards.

Switzerland to join U.N.

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Sept. 10,2002 1:06 a.m.

GENEVA -- Handing out chocolate and special-issue Swatches, the Swiss kicked off ceremonies Monday to end decades of splendid isolation and follow the rest of the world into the United Nations. But in a final gesture of independence, they made it clear they would not change their flag.

Delivering the message

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Sept. 10,2002 12:58 a.m.

IU's new director for public communications has more than just her feet wet. She has jumped into the deep end and swam around a bit. She worked as a journalist and for The Associated Press. She took part in public relations and media relations. She held a position with the NCAA, working closely with inter-collegiate sports. She has even worked for government agencies, such as the Department of Energy, dealing with non-nuclear weapons. Now she has landed on the IU campus as the new director for public communications. But Jane Jankowski, who began her new job Sept. 3, is still getting used to her new surroundings.

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Sept. 10,2002 12:58 a.m.

The IU Student Association has announced there will be second and third place consolation prizes for students drawn in Project "Vote Hard" Corvette giveaway, following the November general election. Students whose names are drawn to the first and second runners-up positions will each receive a $5,000 scholarship. The contest's goals are to increase voter turnout in the general election and make the IU student voice heard in the state's General Assembly through votes.

Help for alcohol abuse

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Sept. 10,2002 12:58 a.m.

The riots on Kirkwood Avenue, the stealing of the fish in Showalter Fountain and Little 500 weekend all came and went. So did the celebration of the beginning of summer. It's no wonder IU was proclaimed "No. 1 Party School" by the Princeton Review. When the polls came around to decide who had the biggest parties, weekend after weekend, the students at IU were celebrating.

Strict partying policy

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Sept. 10,2002 12:53 a.m.

SALISBURY, N.C. -- You can't smoke in a dorm at Catawba College anymore. If you're a student under 21 and you get caught drinking, the dean calls your parents. No exceptions. And if you're a visitor causing trouble on campus, you're banned, reported to police and arrested for trespassing if you come back. Those are the rules -- and they're being enforced.

Grad student muscles way to top

At first glance, Michelle Amsden looks and sounds nothing like a champion-caliber powelifter. But, Amsden, a softspoken, 5-foot, 1-inch graduate student, has become one of the premiere competitors in her sport.

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Sept. 10,2002 12:35 a.m.

For first-year women's soccer coach Mick Lyon, it's been first-year players who've been making an impact. Freshmen defender Ryan Hanley and midfielder Kristen Zmijewski have both made big contributions on the field this season.

Colts lose two more

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Sept. 10,2002 12:35 a.m.

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indianapolis Colts don't expect starting defensive tackle James Cannida or starting tight end Marcus Pollard to play this weekend against visiting Miami. Both were injured in Sunday's 28-25 victory at Jacksonville. Pollard has cartilage damage in his ribs after being tackled and fumbling midway through the third quarter. He did not return.

Colts final season in Indy?

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Sept. 10,2002 12:34 a.m.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Peyton Manning and Tony Dungy wanted to reflect on their opening-day victory and focus on their next game. Instead, football took a back seat Monday to rumors that the Colts could be playing their final season in Indianapolis -- even as they prepare for their home opener Sunday against Miami.

Patriotism in American sports unpredictable

By -Val Tsoutsouris and Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Sept. 10,2002 12:32 a.m.

The events of last Sept. 11 have taught American sports fans two somewhat contradictory things. On one hand, sports is a diversion, not a reason for living. On the other, to ignore what happened last Sept. 11 at sporting events would be wrong because of its communal nature. As a result, sport has continued on as entertainment, but when Major League Baseball games pause for a moment of silence Wednesday at 9:11 p.m. (or during the seventh inning stretch of day games), it's because one cannot forget the unforgettable.

Team seeking scoring options

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Sept. 10,2002 12:25 a.m.

The IU men's soccer team needs a confidence booster. After being labeled the preseason No. 1 team in the nation, the Hoosiers have had trouble living up to their billing in the first four games of the regular season. IU has gone 1-1-2, scoring just three goals in those four contests, while conceding five. "I am surprised and disappointed at our goal production," coach Jerry Yeagley said. "But we are creating scoring chances. If we weren't creating chances, then we'd have a bigger problem."
