Requiem for lost passion

By Brian Matzke · Tuesday, Jan. 27,2004 10:15 p.m.

It's pretty sad when you start using work (i.e., writing a newspaper column) as an excuse to procrastinate when you've got more pressing work (i.e., writing a paper). But after having cleaned my room, gone out to eat, watched a movie, conversed with my neighbors, gone shopping and made a list of potential future non-paper-writing activities, I have found no further recourse and so have started writing. I have come to the conclusion that, contrary to the popular opinion of those outside of the university system, college destroys an individual's ability to think originally.

Debate over controversial Patriot Act continues

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Jan. 27,2004 10:08 p.m.

LOS ANGELES -- A federal judge has thrown out a section of the USA Patriot Act that bars giving expert advice or assistance to groups designated foreign terrorist organizations. An attorney who argued the case on behalf of a civil liberties group said the ruling marks the first court decision to declare a part of the Patriot Act unconstitutional. In the ruling handed down late Friday and made available Monday, U.S. District Judge Audrey Collins said the ban is impermissibly vague in its wording.

Around The World

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Jan. 27,2004 10:07 p.m.

Martha Stewart's stock sale trial opensNEW YORK -- Martha Stewart lied to investigators and committed "serious federal crimes" by selling off nearly 4,000 shares of stock based on a tip no one else had, a federal prosecutor charged Tuesday. But the defense said the case was based on mere speculation and guesswork. As opening statements got under way in federal court, Assistant U.S. Attorney Karen Patton Seymour told jurors Stewart had lied to federal agents, and "multiplied that lie by feeding it to investors in her own company."

Classic Rivalry, Higher Stakes

By Natalie A. Trout · Tuesday, Jan. 27,2004 12:45 a.m.

As if the rivalry wasn't big enough between IU (10-6, 4-1 Big Ten) and Purdue (14-1, 4-1). Now the two teams will battle for the top of the Big Ten at 7 p.m. tonight in Assembly Hall. The last time the rivals played for first place in the Big Ten was in 1989 when the Hoosiers won 74-73. But the most recent match-up between the two was in West Lafayette, and IU took quite a beating and lost the game 69-47. Senior forward A.J. Moye remembers it clearly. "They whooped us last year," Moye said. "I've still got that taste in my mouth. I really want a win."
