Econ professor dies of cancer

By Gavin Lesnick · Tuesday, Jan. 13,2004 12:59 a.m.

For years, IU professors would gather at lunch to talk with Economics Professor Nicolas Spulber about any number of topics. They would have conversations on everything from current events to literature to politics and history to music. On Jan. 2, Spulber died of prostate cancer, leaving behind a legacy of respect among his peers. Economics Professor Michael Kaganovich, who joined Spulber's lunchtime discussion groups several times a week, said Spulber had a unique perspective on any topic.

Healthy choices for the New Year

By Alyson Brodsy and Suzanne Lindemann · Tuesday, Jan. 13,2004 12:33 a.m.

Welcome back IU students! The New Year is here and with it comes the inevitable New Year's resolutions. The popular resolution seems to be one that combines healthy eating and exercise. So instead of jumping on the fad diet bandwagon for fast weight loss, try changing your eating habits. My sister, a registered dietician, preaches to her patients that the key to weight loss is changing daily eating habits. This doesn't mean having McDonald's for only one meal a day! Combining healthy diet and exercise is a foolproof way to ensure a healthy body in the future. The following are some easy recipes to keep a healthy lifestyle resolution on track.

A Spanish trip in three bags

By Julia Balnford and Julia Blanford · Tuesday, Jan. 13,2004 12:29 a.m.

Packing for a study abroad semester in Madrid, Spain, is no fun. Because of weight and space restrictions, airlines only allow two suitcases and one carry-on. Normal people take a large suitcase on a vacation. I usually have to squeeze my clothes, shoes and hair rubber bands into two for a typical week-long jaunt. The airlines expect me to fit the next six months of my life into two suitcases -- less than seventy pounds each, and only one carry-on? That's ridiculous! Before packing both suitcases, I had to clean out my room to figure out what I wanted to take with me. Did I mention I have yet to unpack the boxes I brought home from fall semester?

Dungy: Colts must tackle better

By Alyson Brodsy and Steve Herman · Tuesday, Jan. 13,2004 12:23 a.m.

INDIANAPOLIS -- As well as the Indianapolis Colts have looked on offense through the first two rounds of playoffs, there's still a big concern about their inconsistent defense heading into the AFC championship game at New England.

Jordan River Forum

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Jan. 13,2004 12:20 a.m.

Laws should preserve family values The debate over the legal acceptance of same-sex marriages is not only about the 'civil rights' of proposed marriage partners; it is a debate about the legal standing of the traditional family. The traditional value of marriage has been and continues to be an essential part of the social and moral foundation of America. One of the biggest problems with approving same-gender marriages is that it devalues and desecrates the traditional family.

The Machiavellian's Guide to Graduate Study

By Brian McFillen and Brain J. McFillen · Tuesday, Jan. 13,2004 12:15 a.m.

One day, near the end of last semester, I had a strange encounter on the bus home from the office. Three stops before mine, a passenger bumped into me on the way out. As he passed, I saw he was older, say about 30, skinny, disheveled, with a gray face that made him look thoroughly beaten. His receding hairline suggested that he was a fellow graduate student. We locked eyes for a moment. His held a wild intensity that was somewhat disturbing. And then he was gone. When I got home, I found that a couple sheets of folded paper had been shoved into my jacket pocket. It was a manifesto of sorts, typewritten, anonymous, titled "The Machiavellian's Guide to Graduate Study: Things Grad-Student Kind Was Not Meant to Know." Perhaps the guy had recognized me from my IDS mug shot, or perhaps he was handing them to people at random. It might not have even come from him. But as soon as I read it, I knew it had to be published.

A collegiate connoisseur

By Jake Rossman · Tuesday, Jan. 13,2004 12:14 a.m.

It's a conversation repeated on college campuses everywhere: "Dude, you gotta love a good Keystone Light." "No way, man," another person grumbles. "This Amber Bock is the best. Dark beer has more alcohol, anyway." "Trust me, go with Rolling Rock," says a random third guy. "It goes down so easy. So smooth." And this is just the beginning of a collegiate conundrum unsolvable by university drinkers.

Giving up the apple a day

By Steven Chung · Tuesday, Jan. 13,2004 12:11 a.m.

"Steven, you need to eat less fat," my doctor told me at my last visit. "Do you know where you're getting fat in your diet?" I admit that I was paying little attention to this lecture. I was too busy deciding what distressed me the most: 1) my elevated cholesterol, 2) the $100 charge for this doctor's visit or 3) my big fat condescending doctor telling me how to eat.

Keep Victoria a secret

By Chelsea York · Tuesday, Jan. 13,2004 12:09 a.m.

If you've been anywhere near a television in the past few weeks, you've seen it. It's impossible to miss with that sultry voice, the foreign accent and the near-naked models in underwear. That's right, it's the Victoria's Secret Semi-Annual Sale commercial. Around this time every year, they play the same ad, trying to excite both men and women.

Booze battle

By Judd Arnold · Tuesday, Jan. 13,2004 12:07 a.m.

I love a good local controversy. It always brings out enough material to keep any comic busy for a long period of time. The recent dispute regarding the fate of the historic Von Lee Theatre has lived up to that reputation. In one corner is a nostalgic local resident trying to preserve a movie theater he enjoyed attending during his youth. Supporting him in his quixotic quest is a group of IU administrators led by IU Director of Real Estate and Economic Development Lynn Coyne. In the opposite corner is a group of investors that has purchased the property and hopes to convert it into a restaurant and bar.

Prioritizing education

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Jan. 13,2004 12:05 a.m.

Gov. Joe Kernan will diagnose the state of Indiana tonight in his annual state of the state address in Indianapolis. Kernan is running for a full term as governor in this fall's election, and the political stakes for this year's legislative session are high. The fact is, Indiana's economy remains anemic.

Conjoined twins to be born

By Alyson Brodsy · Monday, Jan. 12,2004 11:46 p.m.

FORT WAYNE -- April McCray faces an uncertain future after finishing her senior year at Snider High School. It's not the ailing job market or questions about further education or training. Eighteen-year-old April is 7 1/2 months pregnant with conjoined twins.

U.S. troops to stay longer than scheduled

By Alyson Brodsy and Robert Burns · Monday, Jan. 12,2004 11:31 p.m.

WASHINGTON -- The Pentagon is extending tours of duty in Iraq for about 1,500 soldiers, mainly helicopter and other transportation support personnel, defense officials said Monday. It is the latest in a series of adjustments to a plan for replacing the approximately 125,000 troops who have served in Iraq nearly a year with a slightly smaller, more mobile force. In this case, commanders determined that allowing the 1,500 soldiers to leave as originally scheduled would create an unacceptable gap in capability. So they will remain in place -- some for as few as five extra days, others for as much as 60 more days, officials said.
