Trips to Iowa, Illinois to prove conference potential

By Ira Klapper · Friday, Oct. 18,2002 1:23 a.m.

Ever since last year's disappointment of missing the Big Ten Tournament by the slimmest of margins, the IU women's soccer team has preached the importance of getting to the post-season this year.

By Aarno Retherford and Aaron Retherford · Friday, Oct. 18,2002 1:22 a.m.

IU has a chance to clinch the No. 1 seed of the Big Ten Tournament outright with a win or tie Sunday. But it won't be easy against a hungry Ohio State team that is coming off a 1-0 heartbreaking loss to Penn State and a 3-0 drubbing of Oakland. The Hoosiers (11-1-2, 5-0-0 in Big Ten) are riding a ten-game winning streak, but the Buckeyes (9-4-0, 2-1-0 in Big Ten) are going to try to get back on track after Penn State ended their six-game winning streak.

By Jim Harper · Friday, Oct. 18,2002 1:18 a.m.

Last week, former President Jimmy Carter was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. The award, which the Nobel committee wanted to give him in 1978 (but couldn't because of a technicality), was well-deserved and is a testament to the compassionate and selfless nature of Mr. Carter.

'Work hard' needs work

Friday, Oct. 18,2002 1:14 a.m.

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.

By Alexandra R. Moses and Beth Rosenburg · Friday, Oct. 18,2002 1:10 a.m.

OOLITIC, Ind. -- Most people have never heard of the tiny Indiana towns of Oolitic, Ellettsville and Stinesville.

Disaster, divinity at Orchestra

By Adam Sedia · Friday, Oct. 18,2002 12:59 a.m.

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.
