American ideals up in flames

By Alyson Brodsy · Monday, Oct. 17,2005 12:19 a.m.

More than a week ago, two minors admitted to stealing a gay pride flag from Inner Chef, a local business, and burning it. The two minors claim they took the flag because it was "unpatriotic." But if the two 17-year-olds wanted to show support for American ideals last Saturday night, they missed the boat.

Critics: Daniels' plan delays road projects

By Alyson Brodsy · Monday, Oct. 17,2005 12:17 a.m.

INDIANAPOLIS - Critics say Republican Gov. Mitch Daniels' 10-year road plan shifts the most expensive projects to later years, delaying the toughest budget decisions. Daniels' plan, intended to solve the state's $2.1 billion road construction shortfall, would privatize two interstate highways and raise tolls in northern Indiana.

All walks of life gathered Saturday night for the NAACP Monroe County Branch Annual Freedom Fund Banquet. Monroe County NAACP President Bill Vance said the banquet hall was overflowing because of the unexpected arrival of Indiana NAACP president Barbara Bolling.

Gillium, the theme means that the focus should be on education, the political issue he considers most important.

By Alyson Brodsy and Lee Keath · Monday, Oct. 17,2005 12:13 a.m.

BAGHDAD, Iraq -- Iraq's landmark constitution seemed assured of passage Sunday after initial results showed minority Sunni Arabs had fallen short in an effort to veto it at the polls. The apparent acceptance was a major step in the attempt to establish a democratic government that could lead to the withdrawal of U.S. troops.

Hysteria replaces Madness due to new NCAA rules

By Andy Romey · Friday, Oct. 14,2005 1:57 a.m.

Last season, a first-game exit from the Big Ten tournament sucked the madness out of the Hoosiers' March, and hysteria ensued. Bracey Wright, leading scorer for the team and the Big Ten, left for the NBA draft and IU head coach Mike Davis again faced criticism for failing to make the NCAA tournament. It's only fitting that the Hoosiers' third quest for madness begins with a little bit of hysteria.

Tall tales

By Andy Romey · Friday, Oct. 14,2005 1:57 a.m.

Junior guard Roderick Wilmont sat tall on a tiny chair in front of giggly, wide-eyed school children who were in awe of their atypical storyteller, who just brushed through the final pages of "Where the Wild Things Are." "What was your favorite book?" a tiny voice from the crowd said. "I loved 'Green Eggs and Ham.' But my other favorite book was 'Miss Nelson.' That used to give me nightmares," Wilmont said to a roar of laughter.

Fuzzy bar-hopping memories from this weekend might sharpen come mid- November. A film crew is rolling into three Bloomington bars Saturday night to film students "partying" for a DVD called "The Top 10 Party Schools," which will be sold online in about a month, said Jessica Morgan, a producer for Dancing Toad Productions, the Manhattan-based company producing the feature.

IU runners define student-athlete

By Ryan Goode · Friday, Oct. 14,2005 1:23 a.m.

When the IU women's cross country team gets back from an away meet, the last thing it wants to do is spend several hours hitting the books. But they do it anyway. And hitting the books has led the team to the highest athletic team GPA of any program on campus with 12 athletes earning Academic All-Big Ten honors. This weekend the team heads to Terre Haute to run in the Pre-NCAA meet, one of the most competitive of the year. And although the Hoosiers' season is entering its most difficult and crucial weeks, team members do not have a break from academics or midterms.

By Steve Slivka · Friday, Oct. 14,2005 1:21 a.m.

Homecoming might have been in Bloomington last weekend, but don't tell that to some of the members of the IU men's soccer team. For six Hoosiers, this weekend's road trip will be a homecoming of sorts as the team travels to the Chicagoland area for two Big Ten matches.

Women try to get back on track; men seek revenge

By Steve Brennan · Friday, Oct. 14,2005 1:20 a.m.

IU coach Mick Lyon likens his team to a train. Recently, Lyon said the train has been struggling to keep its wheels on the track. That track runs through Evanston, Ill., and Madison, Wis., this weekend as the Hoosiers (5-7-1, 1-4 Big Ten) take on Northwestern and Wisconsin. "We need to find a groove," he said. "Right now we have one foot on the track but the second keeps slipping off. If we can get both feet on, we'll be cruising."

Hoosiers look for first Big Ten road win

By Eamonn Brennan · Friday, Oct. 14,2005 1:18 a.m.

Before the football season began, Terry Hoeppner had a simple request for his team. "We challenged (the team) in the spring," Hoeppner said. "We want to play 12. What we do between now and then will determine how realistic that goal becomes." Halfway through their schedule with five games down, the Hoosiers will march toward their goal of extending their season to a 12th game, beginning with a trip to Kinnick Stadium to face Iowa Saturday.
