Come on, get happy

By Alyson Brodsy and Jenna Hess · Tuesday, March 2,2004 12:27 a.m.

The smack of a caught football, the crackle of the grill, the hiss of a freshly tapped keg -- ahh, the sounds of spring. Sure it's only a simulation of spring, seeing as it's still officially winter, but after five days of warm weather, it sure is a fine pseudo-spring. Saturday, as temperatures neared 60, layers of clothing were shed, flip-flops were donned and impromptu cookouts popped up across campus.

A spider's web

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, March 2,2004 12:25 a.m.

If you leave a $5 bill on a table in the middle of the Wright Cafeteria and walk away, chances are in an hour, it will be gone. That's your fault, right? But if you leave the door to your house unlocked, are you to blame if a thief walks in and takes your television? Monday, the case of Indiana University v. the Emergency Web site "hacker" was heard by a campus judicial board.

A lesson from the Turtles

By Dan Cohen and Daniel Cohen · Monday, March 1,2004 11:17 p.m.

Did you ever wonder how the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles grew so huge and muscular in such a short time? Of course not. Why? Because they continually aired the episode of the green ooze leaking in the sewer and making gigantic life-size turtles out of them. They quickly proved any existing allegations wrong -- like perhaps steroids, all fans like myself could watch without wonder.

By Nellie Summerfield · Monday, March 1,2004 11:15 p.m.

A classroom desk as a cause of torture and medical problems? For left-handed students, that's a real problem and part of the mission statement of IU's Handedness Research Institute, which views the prevalence of right-handed desks in schools as discrimination.

IU second home for 2 Czech tennis players

By Dan Click · Monday, March 1,2004 11:12 p.m.

Oftentimes, teams boast players from the same state, maybe even the same city, but not usually the same foreign country. The Hoosiers do that in claiming two players from the Czech Republic with freshman David Bubenicek and junior Jakub Praibis. Bubenicek, a native of Kromeriz, Czech Republic, was mainly drawn to IU for the opportunity to play tennis at a Big Ten school. The education that IU offers was also a factor, as there are many quality programs here that helped persuade Bubenicek in becoming a Hoosier. Though his time on the court has been limited due to injury, he made the most of his only singles appearance of the season in a key victory against Middle Tennessee State Jan. 24, which helped the Hoosiers to a 4-3 victory.

IU's CAVE offers virtual reality

By Michael Zennie · Monday, March 1,2004 11:07 p.m.

Calming Oriental music played in the background as senior Jackie Nykiel moved past the large golden Buddha statues and through the ancient Buddhist temple. Suddenly, Nykiel leapt high into the air, towering above the temple and the lake surrounding it. This is not a distorted "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" reality. For Nykiel and senior Lisa Reinwald, this is virtual reality.

Home finale heartbreak

By Dan Patrick · Monday, March 1,2004 1:20 a.m.

It was like David and Goliath, the 4-12 Hoosiers going up against the No. 22 Michigan State Spartans. Facing a 51-48 deficit, IU sophomore Cyndi Valentin's last-second, running three-pointer shot into the air like the aforementioned rock and struck its mark -- only this time, Goliath got up. After hitting the three pointer at the final second to force the game into overtime, the Spartans won, 60-51. The Hoosiers fought the Spartans doggedly in the second half, never trailing by more than four points in the period and even taking the lead for five minutes. Following a lay-up by MSU junior Kelly Roehrig with nine seconds left in the game, IU was facing a three-point deficit until Valentin connected on a deep three pointer with no time left on the clock.
