'Work hard' needs work

Let's hope the Indiana University Student Association's Project "Work Hard" has a little more thought behind it than the failed "Vote Hard" Initiative. IUSA's next rambunctious move is a three-part plan to make educational life better for students.

Limestone brings noteriety to state

·

OOLITIC, Ind. -- Most people have never heard of the tiny Indiana towns of Oolitic, Ellettsville and Stinesville. But anyone who has visited the Empire State Building, the Pentagon or the U.S. Capitol has seen the stately gray limestone that generations of Indiana stoneworkers have painstakingly pulled from earth around these towns, and hand-crafted into the building blocks that form banks, state capitols and courthouses throughout the country.

Disaster, divinity at Orchestra

·

Wednesday's orchestra concert consisted of both the best and the worst in music. This time the featured ensemble was the Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Thomas Baldner. As usual, the quality of musicianship was excellent and spirited, although during the first piece it was quite difficult to tell if the orchestra made any mistakes because the entire piece sounded like one big mistake.

Colleges pay closer attention to adjustments freshmen must make

·

ST. LOUIS, Mo. -- For college freshmen, it used to be sink or swim. Today, many get swimming lessons -- special credit courses designed to get them used to college and to make the best of it. Colleges nationwide are paying more attention to "the first-year experience," as it has come to be called. The theory, backed by research, is that students who have a good first year will come back for more, do better academically and stay to graduate.

All guts and no glory for revamped Hoosier defense

·

New to IU this season, women's soccer coach Mick Lyon inherited a unknown defense. Lyon said he knew changes would have to be made in order to remedy an ailing squad that ranked last in Big Ten conference play in both shutouts and goals allowed in 2001. "During preseason, and the first couple of games, I thought we would be an absolute liability at the back," Lyon said. "I knew it was going to be a personal task to put some semblance of good defense together." Fortunately for the Hoosiers, Lyon's teaching worked and IU has improved to fifth in the Big Ten in both goals allowed and shutouts.The team said they felt that during their game against Michigan State the defense finally clicked in the 1-0 shutout. It marked the team's fifth shutout of the season.

'Brand' new situation

Myles Brand's office is much like you would expect. The floor is blanketed by a long, red oriental rug. The walls are covered with symmetric wood paneling; pictures and art work keep them company, and prevent them from being bare.
