Hoosier great still on court

Great players have come and gone in the history of IU basketball. Some are remembered and some are not. Brian Evans, who started at IU from 1993-1996, is one who will likely be remembered for a long time. The forward's accomplishments at IU put him in close contention for IU's All-Century Team, and his talent has continued after his time on McCracken Court in Assembly Hall.

Dunn Meadow camp has already made its point Everyone realizes that at a campus like IU, the freedom to use the campus to inform and voice opinions by students and others is very important. Student organizations know this, and so does everyone from "The Ad Sheet" to "Brother Dan". But they aren't setting up tents and taking up residence for weeks in what becomes a favorite spot for many students during the warmer months of the year.

A great movie, but a poor DVD

Ideologies clash over continued protests of war

Members of the peace camp in Dunn Meadow said they won't end their call for peace until U.S. military forces leave Afghanistan.

Fiji's new Prime Minister sworn in

SUVA, Fiji -- Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase, a banker installed by the army as Fiji's caretaker premier following last year's nationalist coup, was sworn in Monday, returning the ethnically divided nation to democratic rule, symbolizing a return of political power to indigenous Fijians. Fiji's former prime minister insisted Monday on a role in the new government, throwing into question the nation's chances for political stability hours after it returned to democratic rule. Under Fiji's constitution, any party with more than eight seats must be invited to take part in government.

Real life more intense than TV

I am a "Law and Order" junkie. Time permitting, I watch the reruns on A&E and the new episodes on NBC. There is something interesting about watching the legal system on TV, but until this summer, I had no idea just how much protection a camera lens could provide.

Vegas mirrors life

My buddy, Jer, put it best when he said, "This is a ridiculous town." That was a pretty good summation of the thoughts I had last week.

FBI, public moved on from investigations

IU international students claim the on-campus climate has remained largely untouched in the advent of Sept. 11, despite FBI questioning of several students three months ago as part of an investigation into the terrorist attacks.

President Brand offers answers

Students do not often have the chance to present President Myles Brand with direct, uncensored questions, but during the IU Student Association town hall meeting Monday night, 85 students got their chance. The session lasted an hour, and students remained in line to ask questions until Jake Oakman, IUSA president and the event's moderator, closed the discussion.

Three-part revamp plan under way

The athletics department is slowly working its way through a three-part plan to revamp the school's colors and logo, create a new icon and introduce a new mascot. The purpose of this plan is to create a department-wide brand identity for athletics, Jeff Fanter, director of Media Relations for the athletics department, said. After deciding last fall that the athletic department needed a more uniform look, the proposal was unveiled in January. The first change was to start using crimson and cream as the standard school colors, replacing the various shades of red and white used by the varsity teams. This part of the plan also involved the redesign of the block IU logo. A San Francisco-based company, Michael Osborne Designs, was hired to help with this project.

Bikers in Bloomington

It kicked off Saturday afternoon with a parade through Bloomington's main thoroughfares, attracting several gawkers. The bikers convened at the parking lot of the Showers Building, where they held events such as slow races, in which the object is to cross the finish line last.

Condoms can't prove consent

Wearing black pants, only a summer out of a high school full of prom queens and most-likely-to superlatives, some freshmen girls visit the frats, ready to find the perfect college guy that they are sure will be their boyfriend. Drunk after two beers, some freshmen guys join the same party, happy they are finally surrounded by chicks with breasts who are actually willing to go further than second base on the first night.
