Hoosiers look for strong run in championship

By Alex Hickey · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

This is it -- the 82nd annual Big Ten Men's Golf Championship has arrived. For the Hoosiers, it represents the end of a season-long quest to forget last season's dismal 11th place finish in the Big Ten. And if enough rolls their way, it could also represent IU's first Big Ten title and NCAA Tournament appearance since 1998.

Supernova instills confidence

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Year after year, new IU Student Association administrations come and go, with promises rarely fulfilled. In the spring, the current administration Supernova, following the lead of those that have come before, made promises that most students were skeptical of. But to Supernova's great credit, only months into their administration, it is moving forward and making differences. The administration, made up of President senior Jake Oakman, Vice President of Congress senior Christopher Smith, Vice President for administration junior Jeff Wuslich and Treasurer senior Emily Kolles, was sworn in April 15 and went to work right away. And already, they have made a difference.

By Nate Jackson · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Volunteers, students and community representatives armed with hard hats and shovels broke ground Monday at the future WonderLab museum site, located at Fourth Street near Morton Street.

Mark Kruzan and the museum's Executive Director, Catherine Olmer.

Recruits line up for men's spring rush

By Katrina Sandidge · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

In the first half hour of the men's spring formal recruitment callout Friday, more than 100 men walked through the Frangipani Room of the Indiana Memorial Union to talk with representatives from chapters and the Interfraternity Council about the positive aspects of going greek. "I'm really pleased," said junior Nick McCallum, IFC vice-president of recruitment. "The fraternities are taking it very seriously. They're wearing their letters, and they've got lots of material. It's going good."

'Essence' shared tonight

By Stacey Palevsky · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

In the past, Lucinda Williams would spend years perfecting the lyrics, rhythms and melodies of her songs before she stepped into the studio to record them, as the uncompromising singer-songwriter would settle for nothing less than perfection. But her latest album, Essence, was written at Williams' kitchen table during a short, intense six-week burst of creativity and has been praised just as highly as her earlier works that took three times as long to complete.

Hoosiers host annual tournament

By Rob Mullally and Robert Mullally · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

If anything can be taken out the men's soccer teams two exhibition games last weekend it's that IU's defense is capable of completely shutting out a ranked opponent, and the Hoosier offense is capable of scoring several goals against a ranked opponent. This weekend, IU will try to combine both in the same match as they host the 19th annual adidas/IU Credit Union Classic at Bill Armstrong Stadium to kickoff the 2001-2002 season.

A local success

By Bryan Harris · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

This is not the first time Carolyn Nash's name has been printed -- not even close. But usually, she's the one writing the story. Being a gifted, often-published writer wouldn't be such a big deal... except she's 17 years old. "There are moments when I write when it's a transition between forming sentences and choosing words and something else," Carolyn said. "Something opens up, and I'm just writing, and it's a joyful experience. It feels wonderful. I'm not thinking about anything. It's somewhere else. It has nothing to do with what's around me."

IU athletics suspended until Monday

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

This statement has been released from the Indiana University's Athletic Department: Indiana University's Athletic Department has announced all scheduled intercollegiate events are suspended through the weekend. Consistent with the previously released Big Ten statement that institutions would evaluate their own athletics schedules, Indiana University's decision was made after reviewing all of the circumstances surrounding this week's tragedies. Some of the considerations for suspending competition included the safety and welfare of its student-athletes, respect for the victim's families as well as the decision by other major universities in the state to not compete this weekend. In accordance with President Bush's comments regarding a return to normalcy, Indiana University Athletics will return to full force with its scheduled competitions beginning Monday, September 17.

Campaign finance reform needed now more than ever

By Travis R. Thickstun and Travis Thickstun · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

A popular campaign finance reform bill that would ban congressional candidates and political parties for raising unlimited "soft money" contributions and make other changes to campaign funding faces an uncertain future in the House of Representatives today, with a final vote scheduled for no later than Friday. House support has been dwindling since the Senate passed its version of the legislation, the McCain-Feingold bill, April 2. Republican Senator John McCain (Ariz.) had made campaign finance reform, an idea that polls show is popular among American voters, the centerpiece of an unsuccessful run for the Republican presidential nomination last year. He vowed then to halt all Senate action through procedural motions until the bill he co-sponsored with Sen. Russell Feingold (D-Wisc.) passed that body.

Allegiance to the Pledge

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

With the ruling of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on the constitutionality of the Pledge of Allegiance, the United States of America has adopted a new slogan: Please everyone. The first action under this new motto is getting rid of the time-old tradition of saying the Pledge in American schools. Not only is this the wrong decision, but it is ridiculous as well.

Breaking the mold:

By Jon Shoulders · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

One of their instruments is a Ford gas tank with one string. They sing about cars dying and about moving cross-country in trailers. Their music can be described as bluegrass, alternative, country, punk and metal all rolled into one frantic yet carefully crafted ball. They call themselves Split Lip Rayfield, and they're coming to your town.

Some remain empty, others get new ownership

By Alex Hickey · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

A house sits alone and empty, a mere shadow of its former self. Pieces of the decaying façade lie on the ground. Windows are either boarded or broken. The lawn is unmowed, filled with brown clumps of grass that feebly grasp for light and water.

Searching for the right words

By Duncan Teater · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Infinite Justice. That's what we might be calling the war. It's a pretty tall order, but it goes right along with President George W. Bush's promise to "rid the world of evil-doers." I'm just waiting for him to stand in front of the White House, and, to the strains of thunder and lightning, proclaim that "By the Power of Greyskull, I am President He-Man."

Habib Koité kicks off Lotus Festival

By Jessica Halverson · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Trills of approval from barefoot dancers and audience members filled the Buskirk-Chumley Theatre during every break in the music Wednesday night at the kick-off concert for the Eighth Annual Lotus World Music and Arts Festival. Habib Koité and his band Bamada switched flights, stayed in airports for hours and finally made it to Indiana in time to open the world music festival that is dancing on despite seven artist cancellations in the wake of last week's terrorist attacks. Paris Combo and the Gangbé Brass Band were set to send the music world spinning for Wednesday's special reduced-price show until they had to cancel because of travel complications. But judging from the cheers and energy from the audience Wednesday, Koité and Bamada more than filled in.

Taliban abandons Kabul

By Alyson Brodsy and Kathy Gannon · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

KABUL, Afghanistan -- Afghans brought their radios out of hiding and played music in the streets, savoring the end of five years of harsh Taliban rule as the northern alliance marched triumphantly into Afghanistan's capital Tuesday. Diplomats sought U.N. help in fashioning a government for the shattered country.
