Severe weather tried unsuccessfully to ruin the afternoon for the Indiana Intercollegiates cross country meet Friday afternoon. Although tornado warnings highlighted the day for most of central Indiana, the story at the IU cross country course was the dominant effort put forth by the men's team. The team won both the team and individual titles.

By Alex Hickey · Monday, Sept. 23,2002 1:05 a.m.

With 10:28 remaining in the third quarter, the Hoosiers looked like a prizefighter hanging on the ropes, bracing for Central Michigan's knockout blow.

By Tyler Hoeppner and Tyler V. Hoeppner · Monday, Sept. 23,2002 1:04 a.m.

With about 10:00 left in the third quarter, things were not looking good for the Hoosiers. Already trailing 29-13 to Central Michigan, the Chippewas picked off senior Gibran Hamdan's pass and had the ball on the IU 15 yard-line. Central Michigan looked as if they would extend their lead. But on their second play of that drive, senior Jeremy Belcher forced a fumble from CMU running back Robbie Mixon, and senior defensive lineman Kris Dielman recovered for IU.

By Katie Schrader · Monday, Sept. 23,2002 1 a.m.

Everything is back as it should be in campus dining facilities, three days after the food courts shut down during Friday's tornado. The first time the sirens sounded, the managing staff at Foster Quad stuck their heads outside and did not see any potential threat and kept serving the students. But after the second siren went off, they received a call from Residential Programs and Services to shut their doors.

On Wednesday the Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Carl St. Clair gave a truly spectacular performance at the Musical Arts Center.

Bush asks for use of force

By Jason Grinblat · Monday, Sept. 23,2002 12:50 a.m.

Last week President Bush submitted a proposed resolution to Capitol Hill seeking Congressional say-so to pursue possible military action against Iraq. Critics of the proposal say the authority Bush wants is too broad and open-ended, citing similarities between Bush's Iraq resolution and the Gulf of Tonkin resolution, which lead to the heightened U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. Concerned parties, such as the American Civil Liberties Union, are advising Congress to carefully consider the flaws of Bush's proposal, such as its failure to specify a clear objective and its unilateral assignment of martial power, before granting him any undue military authority.

School of Parties and Easy A's?

By Katie Flege · Monday, Sept. 23,2002 12:48 a.m.

As part of this week's required listening for my History of Rock and Roll class, I've had the Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson song "Mamas, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys" stuck in my head. Especially the line, "Let 'em be doctors, and lawyers, and such."

Ads swamp the environment

By Joe Ptak · Monday, Sept. 23,2002 12:44 a.m.

How would you like it if you were sitting in class and every 20 minutes the teacher put up a slide for McDonald's? Seem farfetched? I don't think so. Advertising has squeezed itself into nearly every facet of our day and keeps finding new areas to infest. It plagues me first thing in the morning, while I'm lacing up my underwear, and stays with me until I go to bed humming, "Save big money at Menards".

On campus makes sense

By Alyson Brodsy · Monday, Sept. 23,2002 12:43 a.m.

Starting in the fall of 2003, freshman students will be required to live on-campus during their first year at IU. The proposal, submitted Friday to the board of trustees by Chancellor Sharon Brehm, claims that students who live on-campus are "more likely to succeed in a variety of desirable ways than their counterparts who commute to school." We absolutely agree.

Hoosiers finish in fifth

By Aaron Beard · Sunday, Sept. 22,2002 9:12 p.m.

It's amazing what two weeks can do. Two weeks without competition. Two weeks to reflect on the last tournament. Two weeks to find any mistakes and correct them, and two weeks to get ready to win. That is exactly what the Hoosiers did on Saturday. Sunday, however, was a different story. The Hoosiers ended Saturday in second place, one shot back of leader Eastern Kentucky University, but fell in the standings Sunday to finish the tournament in fifth place.

McNeely seeing only red

Friday, Sept. 20,2002 2:46 p.m.

Athletics Director Michael McNeely told the board of trustees Thursday that his department is facing a deficit of about $1 million, citing greater student-athlete scholarship costs, post-season competition costs and rising sports program costs. It's the department's first ever deficit. "We have a current negative fund balance in parts of the main office," McNeely said. "We have a trend of declining ticket sales in football, which is one of our largest sources of support, the cost of athletic programs is going up and scholarships have also gone up."

Bush offers aid to states in drought

Friday, Sept. 20,2002 2:31 p.m.

WASHINGTON -- The Bush administration is announcing a relief package worth about $750 million for states hit by the West's worst drought in a century, two officials said. Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman planned to announce details of the package at an afternoon conference. Lawmakers, including Rep. John Thune, R-S.D., were to participate. On Sept. 10, senators voted to add $6 billion to it to help farmers and ranchers battered by the drought, despite objections from Bush that the aid would increase federal red ink. Bush said that to prevent reborn federal deficits from getting worse, aid for farmers and ranchers with parched lands should come from the $180 billion, six-year farm bill enacted in May or from other budget savings.
