Freshman gets his chance

Eventually, every player gets a chance, either by improved play, injuries, or if just simply given the chance. For freshman Efriam Kandinov that chance is now.

Softball team plagued by errors

Defensive miscues cost the IU softball team another close game yesterday as they fell 5-4 in nine innings to Louisville. The teams were slated to play a doubleheader, but played just one game in expectance of inclement weather.

From Cinderella to contenders

While the nation waits for him to make his jump to the NBA after he mentioned his dream to coach professionally, coach Mike Davis just can't wait to get to work on the 2002-2003 Hoosiers.

Will he stay or Will he go?

The Hoosiers avoided losing him after his freshman year, and IU marched to the national championship game in his second season.

3 points at a time

IU's three-point bonanza against Illinois -- 17 of 27 from beyond the arc -- was amazing, but it wasn't a fluke.

Born and bred in Indiana

ATLANTA -- The stereotype fits these Hoosiers, even if they didn't win the national championship.

A Remarkable Run

Six months ago, the Hoosiers were mired in conditioning drills, running around Assembly Hall and Memorial Stadium to get into playing shape. While Mike Davis was challenging his players to a sprint that ended with a hamstring injury for Davis, assistant coach John Treloar was telling the Hoosiers something he had noticed.

Judges face case backlog

INDIANAPOLIS -- A burgeoning docket of court cases continues to frustrate Indiana's federal judges, who insist they need a new judgeship to reduce one of the nation's fastest-growing caseloads.

Letters to the editor

Racial education needed about reparations

Many people, I fear, need to be educated on the true condition of black people in America.

Scholarships a step forward

The idea behind scholarships and grants is to assist students who could not otherwise attend an institution of higher learning. While these aid dollars are certainly a privilege, they should be available to anyone who qualifies -- without discrimination.

The fine art of the pickup line

While I was at Marsh trying to decide between pretzels and those really good lime tortilla chips, a guy came up to me and said:

Saudi peace plan a dupe

The so-called Saudi "peace plan" is a joke that almost the entire world is falling for. It is merely a diversionary tactic to mask real problems in the Middle East.

Snot and chocolate bunnies

I hate being sick. But then again, who loves being sick? I've a hard time imagining anyone running around screaming "Woo hoo! I have Malaria!" or "Go me! Typhoid Fever!"

Scholarships not solution

Students previously denied federal financial aid because of criminal drug offenses may be able to get to college in spite of the law, thanks to a coalition of drug-law reform groups. Fund raisers met Tuesday in New York to inaugurate the Perry scholarships, which are aimed for such students. Two colleges, Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania and Hampshire College in Amherst, Mass., are also offering loans or grants to students in the same situation.

Silence protests hatred

Today student, staff and faculty on campus will symbolically join thousands of others at all educational levels across the nation in a Day of Silence to protest the discrimination, harassment and abuse -- in effect the silencing -- faced by those who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgendered.
