By Trevor Davis and Trevor K. Davis · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Investors will be analyzing this week's economic data in an attempt to predict the actions of the Federal Reserve. Today, consumer confidence for March will be released. Economists are calling for confidence to slip to 104.2 from a reading of 106.8 in February. Wall Street will also look at the personal income and spending report for February. The report, scheduled for release Thursday, gives investors a sign of how much consumers are spending. If the report shows a positive number, it is a sign that consumption is increasing.

Freshmen should live on campus

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

Foster Quad, Eigenmann Hall and Ashton Center are just a few of the dorms scheduled to be renovated soon. This is to not only make the dorms look nicer in appearance, but also to make them more appealing to upperclassmen. A vast majority of upperclassmen live off campus because it allows them more freedom. Members of the community are bothered by students as neighbors; the noise level and the reputation of the neighborhood are only a few issues concerning citizens of Bloomington.

There's something in the water

By Robert Oprisko · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Misogyny seems to be a word that is thrown about more and more in today's society. It is said the objectification of women leads to it, that professional sports help nourish it and conservativism is a mindset which allows it to flourish. Not only are such statements overtly condescending and anti-masculine, but it is also the end result of a liberal mindset that is so cravenly PC that the wonderful federated republic in which we live (yes, the U.S. is not a democracy) is doomed to hear such things as a growing sentiment.

The buck stops here

By Barb Allard and Barbara Allard · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

There are two kinds of paper money floating around Bloomington these days. One is U.S. currency. The other is not Monopoly money, although it does bear some resemblance. The currency is good at more than 40 area businesses. The alternate money is called BloomingHours, with bills equivalent to $10, $5 and $2.50 in U.S. currency. The bills are measured in hours' worth of work. Bills can be purchased at dollar value at the Center for Sustainable Living, 116 1/2 S. College Ave, Suite 15.

You know the symptoms: your nose is plugged, your sinuses hurt, your throat is on fire and you keep coughing up that awful thick green mucus. Time to head for the Health Center or call your doctor back home and get some antibiotics, right? Maybe not.

Pastor renovates house

By Christopher Carpenter · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Nestled in the woods on 17th Street, the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity house sat empty and unused. Dry leaves built up in the doorways, and tree branches littered the yard. That is how it appeared to the Fellowship of Collegiate Christians Pastor Richard Burdett and his wife one day when they drove by it in 1997. Burdett said his wife looked at the house and said, "You know, somebody needs to claim that place for the Lord and his work."

Spielberg's 'A.I' vision a long way off

By Joseph S. Pete · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

The IDS has long been dedicated to bringing its readership tough-as-nails, hard-hitting arts and culture coverage. It was in that noble spirit -- certainly not the spirit of idle Internet-surfing spurred on by boredom -- that I visited the promotional Web site of "A.I." "A.I.," a widely lauded futuristic rumination on what it means to be human, rose to the top of the box office in its opening weekend and has since sank like a stone. It is thus, officially, the first Steven Spielberg picture loved by the critics and loathed by moviegoers.

Students have right to smoke

Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Smoking is no longer allowed at Valparaiso University residence halls. At the beginning of the fall semester, smoking is no longer allowed in the three dormitories which previously allowed students to puff on a square. There are obviously mixed emotions among the 3,600 students. About 1,026 students voted in the March 2000 referendum to ban smoking in the residence halls. The referendum took place this fall after it was passed through VU's President Alan Harre's office.

Senior guard takes charge in historic night

By Sarah Trotto · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Senior point guard Heather Cassady peered over her shoulder at her teammates during a timeout in Saturday's game. She shook her hands and shouted to the Hoosiers, "Settle down, white." Northern Arizona had chopped IU's lead to 28-23, and Cassady didn't want to see her team's morale drop. Her teammates weren't hitting their shots, so the senior captain took matters into her own hands.
