Final week: America’s next top gladiator

By Sara Amato · Tuesday, Oct. 23,2007 11:24 p.m.

After trekking across town in the pouring rain, I made it to the Bloomington Police Department with water-soaked sweatpants and a half broken umbrella. I changed my clothes and greeted Officer Paul Post, Officer Monica Zahasky and IU Police Department Sgt. Leslie Slone in the training room.

IU mens soccer not looking past Evansville game

By DeAntae Prince · Tuesday, Oct. 23,2007 11:17 p.m.

When the IU men’s soccer team – who won last year’s Big Ten tournament – faces Evansville – a team that went 9-8 last year – fans expect a win. However, despite the teams’ stark differences and game expectations, IU will be approaching the match against the Purple Aces, at 7 p.m.

IU football gears up to face strong rushing attack Saturday

By Lee Hurwitz · Tuesday, Oct. 23,2007 11:16 p.m.

The last two times the IU defense took on the challenge of defending a rushing team, it struggled mightily, losing both contests. After giving up a combined 656 yards on the ground to Illinois on Sept. 22 and Michigan State on Oct. 13, IU coach Bill Lynch is hoping that the third time will be the charm.

Wrecking balls will bring down RCA Dome

By Aaron Beard · Tuesday, Oct. 23,2007 11:12 p.m.

The RCA Dome will come down by wrecking ball rather than explosives. A state board on Monday detailed demolition plans for the 24-year-old stadium as part of the nearly $1 billion project to build the new Lucas Oil Stadium and expand the Indiana Convention Center.

IU hockeys 5-game win streak stalls over weekend

By Nathan Hart · Tuesday, Oct. 23,2007 11:11 p.m.

The IU ice hockey team (5-1-1) had Davenport University on the ropes Friday night as the third period clock wound down. After freshman Wes Suskind scored with 2:21 remaining to give IU a 4-3 lead, it appeared the team would be adding another hard-fought victory to its season-opening five-game winning streak.

After a wild week seven where heaps of points were scored, let’s take a look back and see who scored them.

Stolen Keys

4 charged in theft of giant key sculpture installed in Maryland

By Associated Press · Tuesday, Oct. 23,2007 8:56 p.m.

FREDERICK, Md. – These giant skeleton keys can’t be used to pick locks, but they could soon be opening some jailhouse doors. Four men were arrested and charged with stealing one of 30 fiberglass keys installed throughout Frederick’s historic downtown in tribute to national anthem author Francis Scott Key.

Le Denier Cri

By Claire Burke · Tuesday, Oct. 23,2007 8:55 p.m.

There are millions of types of jeans in the world. Skinny, boot cut, wide leg, dark wash, low rise, high waist – what is a girl to do? Finding a pair of trendy jeans in the right cut and wash is nearly impossible. This season though, straying away from their normal strictly one-cut-of-jean idea, designers have chosen two very different cuts for us, the general public, to choose from.

Colbert Nation

By Thomas Wachtel · Tuesday, Oct. 23,2007 7:35 p.m.

Television comedian and fake pundit Stephen Colbert is running for president. No, seriously. He announced his candidacy on his show “The Colbert Report” last week, though until he clarified on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” it was hard to tell whether or not he was joking. In fact, to be perfectly honest, I’m still not sure if he’s serious, considering the fact that he’s entering both as a Republican and as a Democrat, and that he says he’s only running in his home state of South Carolina. It would be pretty interesting to see what would happen if Colbert – by some twist of fate – actually becomes the president of the United States.

Need more worm farmers?

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Oct. 23,2007 7:31 p.m.

Indiana needs more worm farmers. No, really, it’s true. For whatever reason, a worm farmer, technically known as a vermiculturist, is not generally among the answers you will get when you ask someone, “What do you want to be when you graduate?” But the devastating lack of students studying worm farming may soon be solved if Mitt Romney gets his way. At a campaign event last week, the former Massachusetts governor and Republican presidential hopeful mentioned that he would like to see federal college aid distributed to college students based on the career paths they intend to take following graduation.
