Bloodthirsty Badgers burst into Bloomington

By Alex Hickey · Friday, Oct. 11,2002 3:03 a.m.

Last year, the Hoosiers walked into Camp Randall Stadium and handed Wisconsin the beating of a lifetime. The Badgers allowed a school-record 63 points to IU, and surrendered 631 yards of total offense in the process. Certainly coach Barry Alvarez's team could not forget a loss like that. They would have to be coming into Memorial Stadium with a Sheboygan-sized chip on their shoulder, right?

Young team eager for new season debut

By Alyson Brodsy · Friday, Oct. 11,2002 3:02 a.m.

When most people think of IU's Midnight Madness they think of the beginning of the season for men's basketball. But after last year's success, more people will be paying attention to the women's basketball team.

Let the madness begin

By Sara Meinecke and Sarah Meinecke · Friday, Oct. 11,2002 3:01 a.m.

Freshman guard Bracey Wright said he couldn't see the crowd at Midnight Madness last year, but he could feel it and he could hear it. As Wright made his way from the offices of Assembly Hall to the basketball court, all he could hear was the loudness of the crowd.

First glimpse

By Matt Pera · Friday, Oct. 11,2002 3 a.m.

Every year, mid-October offers a Saturday morning sporting event that is a little different from those of other autumn days. An average fall Saturday morning on the IU campus finds most students sleeping in, tailgating or attending the IU football game. College basketball, while on the minds of many sports fans, seems a ways off.

Civil liberties and the war on terror

By Jim Harper · Friday, Oct. 11,2002 1:16 a.m.

In the aftermath of Sept.11, the government has been granted broad legal power and has enjoyed much public support for its efforts to prevent terrorist acts. The government's (and specifically the President's) ability to vigorously seek and prosecute prospective terrorists is a keystone of the "war on terror," and the importance of seeking out prospective terrorists living in the U.S. is, no doubt, extremely important. Unfortunately, some actions that have been taken in the name of "fighting terrorism" pose strong challenges to the Constitution and to our civil liberties.

War without debate

By Andrew Deiser · Friday, Oct. 11,2002 1:11 a.m.

The United States appears to be moving rapidly toward a major war against Iraq. Yet, it seems that very few of us are asking ourselves the difficult questions one would expect from a country that believes itself to be the world's leading democracy. The lack of debate over the prospect of war with Iraq-the lack of debate among our elected representatives and the American public-is troubling. Is the fear of raising legitimate questions about this anticipated war so strong that we willingly abandon even the idea of debating it? If we do go to war, which may be soon if the Bush administration has its way, debate may become a mute point. I therefore urge you to ponder these difficult questions.

Speaking to the people

By J.P. Benitez and JP Benitez · Friday, Oct. 11,2002 1:09 a.m.

Spike, I have to say something. I was with you on a couple of the things you said a few nights ago. I was. When you said, "Among African American youth, there's this peer pressure to belong. To speak common English and get good grades, somehow in this twisted mentality, you're equated as a white boy or girl. Unless you're sitting on the corner smoking a joint, drinking a 40 and scratching your nuts, you're not down," I was nodding my head. Right on.

The awkward silence ends

By Alyson Brodsy · Friday, Oct. 11,2002 1:06 a.m.

The awkwardness is over. Myles Brand is leaving. The inaccessible IU President who has been hiding from students since he fired Bob Knight two years ago is taking a $750,000 job to head the country's collegiate sports body. He has to be excited.

The Indiana University School of Music's Orchestra concert was impressive, despite the fact that the house was small. Just over 100 people attended, most of whom probably qualified for membership to AARP.

TEL AVIV, Israel -- An Israeli bus driver and a doctor pinned a Palestinian suicide bomber to the ground Thursday after spotting his bomb belt, then fled with other bystanders before the man detonated the explosives. The assailant and an elderly woman were killed, and four people were injured.
