Taking you there and back again

By Aaron Sharockman · Tuesday, Sept. 10,2002 6:09 p.m.

This story has touched everyone, and we knew it would from the moment we began covering it one year ago. Circled around our tiny television, we were paralyzed like the rest of the IU community. We worked on the story -- one eye on the computer screen, one peering at

Blowout is cause for concern

By Alyson Brodsy and Sarah Meinecke · Tuesday, Sept. 10,2002 1:08 a.m.

They're baaaaack. It's unfortunate to say, but the IU football team that has so famously self-imploded in the past made its comeback debut on Saturday against Utah 40-13. That's not even close to being a competitive game. For the Hoosiers that showed so much potential in the win against William and Mary, they certainly showed that giving IU the benefit of the doubt only causes heartache. So without further adieu, here is this week's awards.

Switzerland to join U.N.

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Sept. 10,2002 1:06 a.m.

GENEVA -- Handing out chocolate and special-issue Swatches, the Swiss kicked off ceremonies Monday to end decades of splendid isolation and follow the rest of the world into the United Nations. But in a final gesture of independence, they made it clear they would not change their flag.

Delivering the message

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Sept. 10,2002 12:58 a.m.

IU's new director for public communications has more than just her feet wet. She has jumped into the deep end and swam around a bit. She worked as a journalist and for The Associated Press. She took part in public relations and media relations. She held a position with the NCAA, working closely with inter-collegiate sports. She has even worked for government agencies, such as the Department of Energy, dealing with non-nuclear weapons. Now she has landed on the IU campus as the new director for public communications. But Jane Jankowski, who began her new job Sept. 3, is still getting used to her new surroundings.

The contest's goals are to increase voter turnout in the general election and make the IU student voice heard in the state's General Assembly through votes.

Help for alcohol abuse

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Sept. 10,2002 12:58 a.m.

The riots on Kirkwood Avenue, the stealing of the fish in Showalter Fountain and Little 500 weekend all came and went. So did the celebration of the beginning of summer. It's no wonder IU was proclaimed "No. 1 Party School" by the Princeton Review. When the polls came around to decide who had the biggest parties, weekend after weekend, the students at IU were celebrating.

Strict partying policy

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Sept. 10,2002 12:53 a.m.

SALISBURY, N.C. -- You can't smoke in a dorm at Catawba College anymore. If you're a student under 21 and you get caught drinking, the dean calls your parents. No exceptions. And if you're a visitor causing trouble on campus, you're banned, reported to police and arrested for trespassing if you come back. Those are the rules -- and they're being enforced.

Grad student muscles way to top

At first glance, Michelle Amsden looks and sounds nothing like a champion-caliber powelifter. But, Amsden, a softspoken, 5-foot, 1-inch graduate student, has become one of the premiere competitors in her sport.

For first-year women's soccer coach Mick Lyon, it's been first-year players who've been making an impact. Freshmen defender Ryan Hanley and midfielder Kristen Zmijewski have both made big contributions on the field this season.

Colts lose two more

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Sept. 10,2002 12:35 a.m.

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indianapolis Colts don't expect starting defensive tackle James Cannida or starting tight end Marcus Pollard to play this weekend against visiting Miami. Both were injured in Sunday's 28-25 victory at Jacksonville. Pollard has cartilage damage in his ribs after being tackled and fumbling midway through the third quarter. He did not return.

Colts final season in Indy?

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Sept. 10,2002 12:34 a.m.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Peyton Manning and Tony Dungy wanted to reflect on their opening-day victory and focus on their next game. Instead, football took a back seat Monday to rumors that the Colts could be playing their final season in Indianapolis -- even as they prepare for their home opener Sunday against Miami.

Patriotism in American sports unpredictable

By -Val Tsoutsouris and Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Sept. 10,2002 12:32 a.m.

The events of last Sept. 11 have taught American sports fans two somewhat contradictory things. On one hand, sports is a diversion, not a reason for living. On the other, to ignore what happened last Sept. 11 at sporting events would be wrong because of its communal nature. As a result, sport has continued on as entertainment, but when Major League Baseball games pause for a moment of silence Wednesday at 9:11 p.m. (or during the seventh inning stretch of day games), it's because one cannot forget the unforgettable.

Team seeking scoring options

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Sept. 10,2002 12:25 a.m.

The IU men's soccer team needs a confidence booster. After being labeled the preseason No. 1 team in the nation, the Hoosiers have had trouble living up to their billing in the first four games of the regular season. IU has gone 1-1-2, scoring just three goals in those four contests, while conceding five. "I am surprised and disappointed at our goal production," coach Jerry Yeagley said. "But we are creating scoring chances. If we weren't creating chances, then we'd have a bigger problem."

Comfort brews at coffee shops

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Sept. 10,2002 12:18 a.m.

Sometimes all you need is a study break. Starbucks, Soma, Copper Cup, Borders and Barnes and Noble are all excellent study breaks, friendly hang out spots and a good place to go on either a hot summer day, or a cold winter night. Even the Hoosier Café offers Starbucks coffee where students find themselves studying, eating or just chilling with their friends. Students can either curl up in a comfortable chair and read a book, or write a paper on a table that looks like a chessboard.

It\'s not their responsibility

By Alyson Brodsy and Jason Grinblat · Tuesday, Sept. 10,2002 12:15 a.m.

Planned Parenthood is a nonprofit organization that provides medical services and educational information about reproductive health care and human sexuality. The organization is accessible; it offers adults a place to go when they need information and don't otherwise know where to obtain it. It provides teenagers with sound and helpful guidance when they are scared and confused. It is this accessibility that makes Planned Parenthood and other health clinics such important community resources.

Abortion clinics breaking law

By Alyson Brodsy and Cherry Blattert · Tuesday, Sept. 10,2002 12:14 a.m.

Once again, Planned Parenthood is trapped in the middle of a mucky situation. In his Aug. 12 article entitled, "The Deal with Older Guys," The Weekly Standard writer Eric Felten describes how Life Dynamics, an abortion watchdog group with a history of catching the abortion industry in criminal activity, is suing the notorious abortion provider for failing to report cases of statutory rape. Life Dynamics taped hundreds of phone conversations between a caller who impersonated a 13-year-old girl and Planned Parenthood clinic workers. The undercover caller told the workers she was possibly pregnant by a 22-year-old man (the phone calls were made from Texas, where state law does not prohibit recording telephone calls without the other party's consent). Out of the 614 phone calls taped, 516 (80 percent) reveal clinic employees who outright disregarded or concealed knowledge of statutory rape.
