Head-to-Head

By John Wustrow · Friday, April 13,2007 12 a.m.

The IU football team has seen it all since it started spring practice four weeks ago. The first day of practices saw spring-like warm weather and clear skies. Last Saturday’s intrasquad scrimmage saw snow as the temperatures dipped below freezing. “Any weather’s football weather for me,” said senior cornerback Leslie Majors. “We play in it all. It’s hot in the summer, then it gets cold in the winter. It’s the whole season combined in three little short weeks; we got the heat and the cold.”

IU’s schedule eases up this weekend, but only by comparison.

Treading through adversity

By Tom Kir · Thursday, April 12,2007 12 a.m.

For most IU seniors, their life perspectives change after graduation. For one IU women’s water polo player, it changed before her senior year even started. In August 2005, Emily Schmitt was preparing for her senior year of college, just a few months before the start of her last water polo season. She set out for a bike ride in an attempt to make the most of one of the last remaining days of summer. While traveling down an unfamiliar road, she was hit by a van and blacked out. “I don’t remember the few minutes before it happened,” Schmitt said. “I had no recollection of the impact or sound. The first real recollection of that night was being in the hospital.”
