IU senior defensive lineman Arik Wolf takes a moment on the sideline near the end of the Hoosiers 45-9 loss to Iowa on Saturday afternoon at Memorial Stadium.

SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS

By Lee Hurwitz · Monday, Oct. 13,2008 12:49 a.m.

Bill Lynch sat at the podium as he began to search for a way to grasp the loss his team just suffered. He didn’t find anything. Last year, playing a team like Iowa was business as usual. But as evidenced by the half-empty Memorial Stadium in the third quarter, the deflated IU sideline and the 45-9 loss on Saturday, the promise the program displayed in 2007 continues to quickly fade away. “We have to play better,” Lynch said. “That’s what we’ll go back to working on.” “You have to do something to turn it. You have to do something in the kicking game, go get a turnover, do something offensively. ... They beat us just about every way.” The boos started to come out as early as the first quarter, and halfway through the third, the fans had had enough. As the game got out of hand, the student section dissipated as quickly as Iowa running backs Shonn Greene and Jewel Hampton hit the gaping holes in the IU defensive line. Greene and Hampton provided the force – the duo ran for 229 yards and four touchdowns – while quarterback Ricky Stanzi picked apart the IU secondary. Stanzi threw for 184 yards and two touchdowns while the Hoosiers displayed a penchant for giving up the big play.

‘Wildermuth’ must go

Sunday, Oct. 12,2008 9:28 p.m.

The All University Committee on Names will recommend in less than two weeks whether the Ora L. Wildermuth Center should be renamed.This move comes more than a year after an Indiana Daily Student columnist reported that Wildermuth, whom the Center is named after, espoused segregationist views.Part of the hand-wringing around renaming the building derives from the dangerous precedent it might set. Terry Clapacs, head of the Committee on Names and IU’s vice president and chief administrative officer, said officials did not want to rush into a name change because of the enormity of the decision.To be sure, a mere disagreement with one’s views does not warrant dissociation from the University. However, members of the Committee on Names must consider whether staying with the name sends an even larger and more dangerous message to the University’s populace, particularly people of color. In order to understand the significance of the Center’s name, one must examine Wildermuth’s well-documented views on race. On Nov. 19, 1945, in a letter to IU comptroller Ward G. Biddle, Wildermuth wrote, “I am and shall always remain absolutely and utterly opposed to social intermingling of the colored race with the white. I belong to the white race and shall remain loyal to it. It always has been the dominant and leading race.”In the summer of 1948, in regards to integration of educational facilities, Wildermuth argued “So few of them (blacks) succeed, and the average of the race as to intelligence, economic status and industry is so far below the white average that it seems to me futile to build up hope for a great future.”

American voters aren’t kindergartners

By Jordan Zaslow · Sunday, Oct. 12,2008 9:26 p.m.

I know celebrities have obscene amounts of influence. I also know that influencing the public to go to the voting booths on Nov. 4 is a wonderful idea. Many actors, musicians and other American celebrities are smart about targeting first-time voters in an effort to inspire citizens to participate. However, the way that Leonardo DiCaprio and his celebrity friends are going about promoting voter registration is patronizing, condescending and offensive.

A divisive disaster

By Christian Hines · Sunday, Oct. 12,2008 9:25 p.m.

We live in fascinating times. Seven years ago we were told that the attacks of Sept. 11 would define a generation. It was our Peal Harbor. Our Kennedy assassination. We would remember exactly where we were and what we were doing on that morning for the rest of our lives.

In Dow we trust

By Abby Schwimmer · Sunday, Oct. 12,2008 9:14 p.m.

The Lord’s Prayer. Hail Mary. Kol Nidre. When it comes to prayers, there are a few standard names that have stood out for untold ages as the staples of religious liturgies. But when we reach a point where we’re invoking the “blessed Master of credit derivatives,” have things gone too far? Late last month the Church of England, in an attempt to provide the faithful with some sense of direction and hope in midst of the worsening financial crisis, published a “Prayer for the Current Financial Situation,” or as the Times Online has dubbed the piece, “Lead Us Not into Liquidation.”

Hoosiers drop fourth in a row

For the fourth straight week, the IU football team found itself leaving the gridiron on a sour note as the Iowa Hawkeyes stormed into Bloomington and downed the Hoosiers with ease. Last year, playing a team like Iowa was business as usual. But as evidenced by the half-empty Memorial Stadium in the third quarter, the deflated IU sideline and the 45-9 loss, the promise Lynch instilled in the program last year continues to slowly fade away.
