Basketball riots spur rule revision

By Josh Sanburn · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Last spring, the road to the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship trophy sparked riots and destructive behavior not only at IU and Bloomington, but across the nation. The University of Maryland witnessed some of the worst post-game festivities after beating IU in the championship game. The riots caused damage across Maryland's campus and now the university has put into effect policies ordering expulsion as the main punishment for students who participate in post-game rioting across any of the University of Maryland's 13 campuses, causing some universities to look at how they punish their partyers.

An international leader in health education and disease prevention will finish on Thursday a series of lectures about cancer. The talk leads up to the second annual "Hoosiers Outrun Cancer" walk and run. John Seffrin, CEO of the American Cancer Society will conduct a lecture on "The Present and Future State of Cancer" at 7 p.m. Thursday in the Indiana Memorial Union's Whittenberger Auditorium.

Lastest release cooked-up leftovers

By -Mitchell Tellstrom · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

The "new" Pixies album is made up of leftovers from The Purple Tape, the infamous first recording session for the Pixies. It consisted of 17 songs, eight of which were chosen for the mini-album Come On, Pilgrim. So the "new" Pixies album is really the oldest Pixies album.

Final hopes

By Jason Recker · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Of the 26 teams IU played this season, the Hoosiers have only one with which to compare Oklahoma. Not Illinois. Not Louisville. Not Kentucky. After pondering the question several seconds, junior guard Kyle Hornsby started to speak. "The…closest I can come…to comparing them to anybody…might be…Duke," Hornsby said slowly. The Sooners aren't a carbon copy of the Blue Devils, who IU upset in the South Regional Semifinal 74-73, but they are close. OU is strong, physical and any player on the floor can score. The Sooners play tight defense, can beat nearly anyone in a half-court game and can run and dunk with nearly anyone else.

Music of Angels

By Colleen Koch and Colleen Star Koch · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Amid the harsh noise of blaring brass and clashing violin that ricochet through the music school, the gentle strumming of Elzbieta Szmyt's harp seems to be the music of angels. As uncluttered and pure as the music she plays, Szmyt smiles and welcomes guests and students alike into her studio, a space adorned with a simple Japanese print in shades of rose and cream and posters from the numerous harp events she has performed in worldwide. Szmyt is an assistant professor of music and the director of the Pre-College Harp Program in IU's harp department, which is the largest in the world. She has performed internationally, including at the World Harp Congresses in Denmark and Prague. Szymt teaches students ranging in age from 6 to late 20's and travels around the world performing and teaching at master classes.

GAO focuses on reality

By Ken Halcom and Kenneth Halcom · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Last week, the General Accounting Office, the Republican-headed investigative arm of Congress, announced that it will sue the White House for information regarding Vice President Richard Cheney's contacts with energy industry executives last spring. Mr. Cheney refuses to turn over the records, citing executive privilege, while not using the term executive privilege itself. Understandably, his refusal has generated suspicion. Some say, "If there's nothing to hide, why not turn it over?"

DMB's latest album far from 'Busted'

By Ryan Gunterman · Thursday, July 25,2002 12 a.m.

If I'm former long-time Dave Matthews Band producer Steve Lillywhite, I'm not happy. He produces the deepest and most personal DMB album ever, only to be replaced by pop-producer Glen Ballard on the more-poppy Everyday; but that's not the worst part.

'Eight Legged' sci-fi retread entertains

By -Alec Toombs · Thursday, July 25,2002 12 a.m.

Eight Legged Freaks" harkens back to the tacky sci-fi flicks of the '50s (most of which involved insect mutations and human mutilations i.e. "Them!"), and in that respect it delivers. For once there's a film that's exactly what it purports to be… a needlessly entertaining schlock-fest featuring ham-fisted acting, funny death scenes, less funny dialogue, good lookin' babes and big-ass spiders. If any of the aforementioned traits interest you, go see "Eight Legged Freaks," if not, go catch "Juwanna Man" again.

'Yoshimi' the usual Lips masterful crafting

By Michael Tapscott and Mike Tapscott · Thursday, July 25,2002 12 a.m.

Robert Christgau once wrote about the Flaming Lips in his Village Voice "Consumer Guide" that, "these guys are Not Joking. Ever. Which makes them hopelessly ridiculous." Though I don't plan to contend the validity of this comment, Christgau seems to miss the point.

'Moto GP' races in the middle of the pack

By -Alec Toombs · Thursday, July 25,2002 12 a.m.

"Moto GP" stands among some outstanding racing titles for the Xbox (i.e. "Project Gotham Racing" and "Rallisport Challenge,") but by comparison it's fairly meager. Despite strong graphics and easily executed controls, something's just lacking.

Green Day remains trapped inside punk cage

By Ryan Whirty and Ryan Wirty · Thursday, July 25,2002 12 a.m.

Punk can be a very limited music form. Very few punk bands are able to expand their sound and style very far. Those punk groups that do manage to transcend the genre end up creating a whole now identity for themselves. The Clash, for example, evolved from a straight-ahead, angry-Brit punk combo into a funky, cutting-edge dance band. And like other punks, the guys of Green Day are really trapped inside a musical straitjacket.

Wasted potential, faulty reactor sink 'K-19'

By Parker Witman and Parker Wittman · Thursday, July 25,2002 12 a.m.

First take Han Solo and Qui Gon Jinn, give them funny Russian accents and appoint them as captains in the Red navy. Next, stick the "Star Wars" alums in a claustrophobia inducing, Soviet nuclear submarine and send it on a mission before it's ready. Finally, give the whole thing the worst and most unappealing title you can come up with, and there it is, "K-19: The Widowmaker."

Satelite radio a sad salvation

By -Val Tsoutsouris · Thursday, July 25,2002 12 a.m.

Upon the launch of XM Satellite Radio on Sept. 25 and its competitor Sirius Satellite Radio beginning last February and expanding nationwide earlier this month, the two companies bet that the average listener has had enough of conventional radio and wanted something different.

Reality shows a cheap way to entertain

By Mike D’Avria and Mike D’ Avria · Thursday, July 25,2002 12 a.m.

They're cheap to make and millions of people like to watch them. Put a few camera-men with some real people, maybe in a weird or dangerous setting, and a few weeks later you have new famous people and hundreds of water cooler conversations.

The Vines' 'Evolved' entangled in hype

By Elizabeth R. Ross and Elizabeth Ross · Thursday, July 25,2002 12 a.m.

In the context of recent punk-influenced garage rock, next to their admittedly tough competition, The Vines make more twists but don't climb as high. Judged on its own merits, The Vines' Highly Evolved is a pretty solid album with a distinct and diverse sound.

By Yahya Chami and Yayha Chami · Thursday, July 25,2002 12 a.m.

Two Bloomington residents, Joshua Silbert and Dylan Wissing, formed a band in 1983, which later evolved into Johnny Socko. They have been enjoying a wild ride ever since.

Hoops team to defend national title

By Chris Sanchack and Kris Sanchack · Thursday, July 18,2002 1:46 a.m.

This week the 5th-grade Bloomington Hoosier Hoops team will be going to Cocoa Beach, Fla., to defend their national title, July 21-27. The team is seeded 2nd in the tournament, but only because of the point accumulation system which is in place and not because of a win-loss record. In their age division, the 5th-grade team is 75-0, and it has won six 6th- grade tournaments and a total of 130 games since October, including defeating the State Champion 6th-grade team. The team will be playing in the tournament -- which is similar to the NCAA bracket system -- against a total of 96 teams. "I wish there was something like this when I was younger," said Dan Van Trese, father of one of the 5th-grade players.
