Abortion law met with opposition

By Charles Wilson and Lindsay Baron · Wednesday, Nov. 6,2002 1:43 a.m.

An Indiana law that would again require women to receive in-person counseling 18 hours before having an abortion has generated passionate debate amongst its opposers and supporters. The law could have taken effect this week, but plaintiffs, 11 women's health clinics around the state, filed Monday for a stay. The stay prevents the ruling from becoming a law until the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals rules on the request, said Ken Falk, an attorney with the Indiana Civil Liberties Union. Indiana law requires women to receive counseling about abortion's risks and alternatives.

Monroe County turnout as expected

By Megan Banis · Wednesday, Nov. 6,2002 1:41 a.m.

The voter turn-out in yesterday's election was about what was expected, all factors considered. 29.85 percent of the 91,870 registered voters came out to the polls. "That is higher than a midterm general election, which would pull about 22-25 percent," said Monroe County Recorder Jim Fielder. "The candidates did a great job of raising issues and getting voters out." By 3 p.m., officials for Precinct 32, at Assembly Hall, had seen about 40 people come through.

Send snipers to death

By Alyson Brodsy · Wednesday, Nov. 6,2002 1:01 a.m.

If convicted of the 10 sniper murders in Maryland and Virginia between Oct. 2-22 and slaying a woman in Montgomery, Ala. on Sept. 21, John Allen Williams and Lee Malvo must die. Americans believe they have the right to live as they wish, within the law, without interference from others or the government. The belief is more than 22 decades old and written in a contract called the Constitution, which includes a Bill of Rights. It was written to guarantee freedoms including "life, liberty," and "the equal protection of the laws," as outlined in the 14th Amendment.

I don't want to become my mom

By Joe Grace · Wednesday, Nov. 6,2002 1 a.m.

I'm becoming my mother. I never thought this could happen to me. I always thought the old adage that you become your parents was an elaborate ruse to scare kids into teenage rebellion thus leading to an extreme loss of brain cells and ensuring the dominance of the old folks. Teenage rebellion. Sigh. Those were the good old days. Coming home 15 minutes after curfew. Skipping Sunday night church. Eating my dessert before my dinner. Okay, so maybe I wasn't much of a rebel.

A personal reflection

By Gerald L. Bepko · Wednesday, Nov. 6,2002 1 a.m.

As most readers of the IDS know, last Friday at the meeting of the IU Trustees in Fort Wayne, I was appointed Interim President, effective Jan. 1, 2003, the date on which our President, Myles Brand, will take his new position at the head of the NCAA. It's a bit early to write about plans for the interim administration. For the time being, I'll be listening to students, faculty, staff, alumni and other constituencies of the University. As a result, I hope your readers won't mind a more personal reflection.

Make snipers pay, live

By Ryan Gunterman · Tuesday, Nov. 5,2002 11:29 p.m.

Linda Franklin, a native of nearby Columbus, Ind., was in a Home Depot parking garage in Falls Church, Va. when she was shot and killed by the snipers who have been linked to nearly 20 nationwide shootings to date. Her husband watched her die. Franklin survived breast cancer and worked for the FBI in the Cyber Division at the National Infrastructure Protection Center. But in one cruel, unforgiving moment, the cancer that had inhabited her body and the dangers associated with one of the world's most prestigious law enforcement agencies didn't matter.

Dorm Make Over

By Jackie Corgan · Tuesday, Nov. 5,2002 11:25 p.m.

Now their room is called the "athletic room" of Briscoe-Gucker 3. With bright yellow walls, green lockers for a new television stand and brand new red comforters and mattress covers, the boys were pretty stunned with their room's transformation. "I'm not quite pleased with the colors," Davis said while he sat in his new red tractor-seat desk chair. "The walls are a little flamboyant, and I don't understand how the carpet goes with anything in the room," he said pointing to the tan mat in the middle of the floor.

NEW YORK -- Run-DMC star Jam Master Jay, his killer still at large six days after he was shot in his recording studio, was mourned at his funeral Tuesday as "the embodiment of hip-hop." A fleet of white stretch limousines was parked outside the Allen A.M.E. Cathedral in Queens, the borough where the rapper, whose real name was Jason Mizell, first met up with his bandmates, Joseph "Run" Simmons and Darryl "DMC" McDaniels. "Jam Master Jay was not a thug," McDaniels told the overflow crowd inside the church.

Sharon Osbourne rethinks MTV show

By Brett Martel and David Baulder · Tuesday, Nov. 5,2002 11:20 p.m.

NEW YORK -- If she had to do it over again, Sharon Osbourne says she wouldn't have invited MTV's cameras into her home. At least, that's what the cancer-stricken matriarch of television's favorite dysfunctional family told ABC's Barbara Walters when she talked to her earlier this fall. Osbourne said, in an interview to air on a special "20/20'' edition Wednesday, that she's calling it quits after an upcoming, 10-episode season is through. "We can't do it anymore," she said.

Simple symphonies are stressful

By Lee Ann Chan · Tuesday, Nov. 5,2002 11:14 p.m.

While many of us are cracking the books for history, biology or business exams, the students in the music school are preparing for their big recitals. The amount of rehearsal time and effort they put into their recitals is immeasurable. Almost any student can perform a recital, but it must be done with the approval of the major professor. Most students are required to do a recital in both their junior and senior year for the undergraduate degree in music, but they must first pass a recital "hearing" where teachers from their department listen to the song excerpts for the recital.

Political parties ally in Pakistan

By Aida Sultanova and Munir Ahmad · Tuesday, Nov. 5,2002 11:07 p.m.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan -- Hardline Islamic parties and a pro-democracy block in Pakistan agreed to join forces Tuesday, giving them the parliamentary majority needed to form a coalition government and possibly choose a pro-Taliban cleric as prime minister. Political allies of President Gen. Pervez Musharraf refused to concede defeat and said they were also working to form a majority. In Pakistani politics, positions can be fluid and coalitions short-lived.

Missle strike kills al Qaeda operative

By Aida Sultanova and Josh L. Lumpkin · Tuesday, Nov. 5,2002 11:05 p.m.

WASHINGTON -- Opening up a new front in the war on terror, U.S. forces launched a pinpoint missile strike in Yemen, killing a top al Qaeda operative in his car in the first such overt attack outside of Afghanistan, a U.S. official said. The strike, conducted by a CIA drone aircraft, killed Qaed Salim Sinan al-Harethi, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. U.S. counterterrorism officials say al-Harethi was al Qaeda's chief operative in Yemen and a suspect in the October 2000 bombing of the destroyer USS Cole.
