Extra Blue Kind
The members of the rock band Extra Blue Kind stand in a cramped basement. All four musicians are in their own worlds. They have been practicing for about ten minutes, riffing a little bit and playing two songs that they know well.

No matter where in the world, no matter what the situation, a Hoosier's somehow involved. We learn that lesson every day. Unfortunately, Sept. 11, 2001, was no exception. Three IU students lost their fathers, and others we knew also died in New York, Washington and the fields outside Pittsburgh.
If your neighbor was pointing a cannon at your house, would you: A) throw on a "Hugs, Not Arms" tee and wait for your neighbor to come over and join you in a round of "Kum Bay Yah" or B) take a defensive course of action instead, knowing that your neighbor may soon blow your house out of the water?
As the construction of two dams being built to drain a 7,000-foot section of Salt Creek neared completion Tuesday, the coordinator of the two-year investigation into the disappearance of Jill Behrman, FBI Special Agent Gary Dunn, was emotional about the possibility of bringing the case to a close.
The flags fluttering at half staff today will be the first indication that something has changed, followed by the four peals of bells at midmorning: 8:45 a.m., 9:30 a.m., 9:40 a.m. And finally, nearly one year and two hours after network newsreels showed a disbelieving public the sort of nightmarish destruction extremist terrorist networks are capable of, the Metz carillon will send out one last lonely call at 10:37 a.m. With each tone, the campus community will be reminded of that which it can never forget -- the four attacks on American soil composing the events of Sept. 11.
Self-confidence and optimism keep Mike Weichman from becoming discouraged. The depressed job market has directly affected him. A tumultuous year beginning with the Sept. 11 attacks and including public disclosure of bad accounting practices by several major corporations jarred an already reeling economy.
Christopher released from team
Coach Gerry DiNardo announced at a press conference yesterday that senior Gibran Hamdan would start Saturday against Kentucky. Hamdan and senior Tommy Jones had been ensconced in a quarterback competition prior to the season, but Jones started the Hoosier's first two games.
The boys were back together again. For the first time in 2002, IU forwards Pat Noonan and Mike Ambersley started a regular season game on the frontline. Granted, it was not an astonishing debut for the two strikers who both attended the same high school, but the onfield chemistry that was created some five years ago at DeSmet Jesuit High School near St. Louis, Mo. was still visible.
It may not have been pretty, but the IU men's soccer team picked up its second victory Tuesday with a 2-0 win over Louisville. The No. 9 ranked Hoosiers dominated ball control and possession throughout the match, but managed just two goals on the Cardinals' stingy defense. IU (2-1-2) posted 13 shots to Louisville's four and the Hoosiers had eight corner kick opportunities to the Cardinals' one. Louisville (2-3) used physical play to frustrate the Hoosiers' offensive attack as they committed a total of 26 fouls to IU's 15.
For most Americans, the date Sept. 11 manifests a multitude of feelings. From thoughts of loss and fear to an inspired sense of patriotism and national unity, Americans faced the tragedy and dealt with it in their own way. One year later, coach Amy Robertson and the field hockey team still use the emotions and a motto provoked by Sept. 11 to inspire greater team unity.
For most Americans, Sept. 11 has become a landmark that is vividly cemented in their memories. Just as generations before remember where they were when John F. Kennedy was assassinated, or what they were doing when the Challenger exploded, people of all generations can clearly recollect what they were doing when the news that the World Trade Center was struck by two planes reached them.
Former IU Basketball Coach Bob Knight now has one more month to decide whether or not to sue IU over his dismissal two years ago. Before the extension, Knight was supposed to have taken legal action by Monday. Now, Knight and his attorney, Russell Yates, will have until Oct. 11 to make a final decision.
Jerry Springer has become an icon of pop culture. His daytime TV talk show has been on the air since the mid-90s and has found quite a following, possibly more for its outrageous guests than its moral content. But according to one new IU study, when tuning in to see the latest incestuous love triangle, or to find out that David's secret life includes women's underwear and his lover Paul, viewers are also receiving a dose of morality.
Last year, students entering the ground floor of Ballantine Hall were greeted with the occasional smell of popcorn and the murmur of students going in and out of the front lounge. This year, the double doors on either end of the room are closed off. They're locked and bear signs that ward off students letting them know the room is for faculty and staff only. The room is now a quiet haven for key-holders to enjoy the increased privacy and air conditioning to hold meetings, grade papers and work on course tasks.
Sept. 11 is a day that will be etched in the minds of Americans forever. For many students on campus, the one-year anniversary of this tragic event will be a difficult day. If students who live in residence halls are having a hard time, they have many people with whom to talk.
Let's face it. Coming to a University with 36,000 fellow students donning IU apparel makes it difficult to filter out of the all-too-familiar nine digit student ID number.
To commemorate and remember the lives of those who lost their lives during the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon one year from today, IU will hold campus-wide gatherings and programs all day today to create a sense of caring and community at IU and within Bloomington.
NEW YORK -- Jessica Hagedorn, a fiction writer, expects her next novel to feature a mother, a child and a detective in present-day New York City. What worries her is how, or if, she should weave in the events of Sept. 11.
Many books were written immediately after Sept. 11, but none were able to capture as much raw emotion as David Halberstam's Firehouse. Halberstam, a journalist and historian who lives with his family on 67th Street on Manhattan's west side had never visited the fire station just blocks from his home until, "On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, two rigs carrying thirteen men set out from this firehouse; twelve of the men would never return."
