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.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The U.S. Supreme Court denied a request by a group of minority students to fast-track a suit filed against the University of Michigan's undergraduate admissions system. The high court's ruling Monday on procedure in the closely watched case will delay the court's review by about two weeks, according to lawyers on both sides.

Spending spree catching up with Loyola

By Becky Bartindale · Tuesday, Nov. 5,2002 11:02 p.m.

CHICAGO -- Loyola University, which has been plagued by financial woes, burned through $143 million of its endowment over the past eight years to erect buildings and plug a series of annual budget deficits, a university official said. Loyola pursued the unusual course of spending its unrestricted reserves during the 1990s, when the stock market carried most university endowments around the nation to record levels. Loyola's endowment dropped to $282 million last year from a high of $425 million in 1993.

Review process needs to be altered.

By Benjy Ekhaus · Tuesday, Nov. 5,2002 10:55 p.m.

The newest edition of Instant Replay in the NFL has been intact now for three and a half seasons, and made officiating much better than in its absence. But, there are certain areas where the system needs to be…overturned, if you will. League officials need to look back to why they reinstated instant replay in the first place -- it was an opportunity to assure that the correct call was being made by the referees on the field. There are instances, however, even in the new system where that is simply impossible.

Defense steps up to fill voids

By Aarno Retherford and Aaron Retherford · Tuesday, Nov. 5,2002 10:54 p.m.

With senior midfielder Ryan Mack returning from ACL surgery to reclaim his spot as IU's number two scorer and adding strength to an already potent offense, one question plagued the coaching staff entering the season. How would the Hoosiers fill the holes left behind by starting backs Ryan Hammer and Josh Rife and goalkeeper Colin Rogers? The three were pivotal members of the nation's top defense. IU led the country in goals against average and shutout percentage last season.

Look to athletes for talent, not courage

By -Val Tsoutsouris and Val Tsoutouris · Tuesday, Nov. 5,2002 10:53 p.m.

Dan Rather closed the CBS Evening News for a brief period in 1986 with a bizarre one-word epigram: "courage." People had no idea what he meant. Some people thought he was condescending. Others thought he was crazy. I thought back to that when I was watching the Arete Awards for Courage in Sports on CBS this past weekend. The Arete Awards aired right after the Colts' most recent debacle. What a contrast they probably provided to those who did not change the channel. In case you missed it, the Colts got booed while losing at home to Tennessee Sunday.

Iowa began last season as a favorite to win the Big Ten, and was ranked in the top five nationally. But the Hawkeyes fell flat on their face during the conference season, finishing 10th with an underachieving 5-11 record. They were not invited to the NCAA Tournament, and were beaten in the first round of the National Invitation Tournament by Louisiana State.
