The IU African American Dance Company held its eighth annual Dance Workshop Friday and Saturday at the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center.
In Wednesday's IDS, the political parties vying in this week's IUSA election gave their positions regarding the $30 athletics fee. Some parties, citing the fact that we get nothing in return for the money except (hopefully) $2 million worth of gratitude from the athletics department, suggest T-shirts for compensation. Others, noting that the fee was imposed on IU students without sufficient consultation or due process, are pressing for more "dialogue" next time around.
Fellow college students! There is a growing threat toward our very way of life. As we speak, sinister alien invaders are sneaking into our classrooms and research facilities! There, this menace hypnotizes children into hating America! No man can survive its evil gaze without losing their moral standards! Watch out, little Johnny and Susie! You could be next!
The rules that guide due process for students are open to change, but the opportunity to improve the Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities and Conduct will close in a week. Student ideas are critical to preserving student rights, and there is not a moment to lose in speaking up.
JERUSALEM -- Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's Cabinet began charting Israel's future borders Sunday in a historic session, giving final approval to a withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and a revised route of the West Bank separation barrier that would encompass at least 6 percent of land claimed by the Palestinians for a state.

JERUSALEM -- Israel's defense minister ordered a halt Thursday to the controversial policy of demolishing the homes of Palestinian suicide bombers and gunmen after an internal army review concluded it has not deterred attackers but has inflamed hatred.
The field of IU Student Association candidate parties has been cut to four tickets. The What about Bobby? ticket submitted its withdrawal from next week's election Wednesday night following the IUSA debate. What about Bobby? decided not to attend the debate with its rival tickets "out of protest." IUSA Elections Coordinator Derek Molter confirmed What about Bobby?'s departure from the race. What About Bobby? did make a last-ditch effort to re-enter the race, but Molter denied the ticket's request.
Former IU President Myles Brand and two current high-ranking IU officials will testify next week at a court hearing to decide whether the University must release, under the state's Access to Public Records Act, a report that led to the termination of former men's basketball coach Bob Knight. Former IU board of trustees President John Walda and current trustees President Fred Eichhorn are scheduled to give testimony Wednesday regarding the roles they played in investigating an incident and preparing a report that ended with Knight's firing.
Editor's Note: The IU Student Association Elections are looming. Next week students will weigh in on who they think will do the best job. In the meantime, the four tickets -- College, Connect, Kirkwood and Vote for Pedro -- discuss a different issue each day with the Indiana Daily Student. Transportation Fee With a majority of students living off-campus, each of this year's IUSA tickets has something to say about how students get to class.
For almost 50 years, professor Phillip Summers has witnessed first-hand the changes and growth at IU. He has seen traditions come and go but is always impressed by IU Sing. "I think it's amazing," Summers said. "Interest has remained strong though all that time." The tradition will continue at 7 p.m. tonight in the IU Auditorium with the first performances of IU Sing 2005, "Livin' Out Loud."
Tonight marks a sad goodbye for seniors Mike Simpson and Pat DeGain as they take the mat at University Gym for the last time. The Hoosiers take on Purdue at 7 p.m. tonight. Sunday will be their final regular season meet as IU travels to Iowa for a showdown with the Hawkeyes. Both have had years marked by missed time -- Simpson missed several weeks with a head injury and the flu, and DeGain has missed the last two weekends of competition with an injured shoulder. Both wrestlers stressed their desires to get one last victory in front of the Hoosier faithful. "The way I go out is more important than any dual meet in the last two years," Simpson said. "It's great to beat Purdue anywhere, but at home would be the best."
Although defense wins championships, every team needs a little offense. The IU women's softball team is looking for that offense after struggling in the batter's box last weekend in the Alexis Resort Classic in Las Vegas, Nev. In the tournament, despite only giving up nine runs in four games, the team managed to come out with just a single win. After combining for only 17 hits in five games, practice has focused clearly on offense to prepare them for their second tournament of the year, the LSU Tiger Classic, in Baton Rouge, La.
For the second time this year, the IU men's tennis team finds itself on the rebound. The first time came after an away loss against Notre Dame, after which IU came home and won two matches 7-0, failing to yield even a set to the opposition. The second time comes today, with the Hoosiers looking to avenge two weekend losses with another home match -- this time against No. 26 Louisville at the IU Tennis Center.
IU's women's tennis team is going up against two highly ranked opponents on the road this weekend -- No. 19 Tennessee and No. 7 Kentucky. But this isn't the only reason for the No. 29 Hoosiers to anticipate Sunday evening.
One more week. Members of the men's track team have been repeating this mantra fairly often recently. At first they looked to two elite meets to try to get qualifying marks, and now they are set for the Big Ten Championships Feb. 26 amd 27 at Purdue. "I think the team is really excited about Big Ten's," said sophomore All-American David Neville. "We really have a chance to win the meet as a whole, so we're getting ready to start peaking fast."
DENVER -- A mile above sea level, just a little to the left of America's midsection, the NBA All-Star game has arrived lacking a clear-cut theme. It will be LeBron James' first appearance and Shaquille O'Neal's 12th in the league's showcase event, and in between those two on the frequency meter are 22 other well-deserving players of various shapes and sizes -- though there's nary a Nugget to represent the host team, and no compelling story line to reel in the casual fan.
Apparently, size does matter. Penn State capitalized on the depth of its squad Thursday night at the Women's Big Ten Championships in Bloomington. Penn State took the lead after the second night of competition, telling the rest of the Big Ten they were going to have to play catch up if they are going to take the lead from them. "We came out on fire today especially in the prelims," Penn State coach Bill Dorenkott said. "We are pretty excited about our swimming today and one of our big assets is the depth we have."
