By Alyson Brodsy · Monday, Sept. 30,2002 1:51 a.m.

You might have noticed the shiny new Corvette being displayed in Dunn Meadow was nowhere to be found this weekend. IU Student Association members are taking precautions to make sure nothing happens to the $50,000 vehicle that will be raffled off to an IU student in November.

By Alyson Brodsy · Monday, Sept. 30,2002 1:42 a.m.

The IU women's soccer team began its Big Ten schedule this weekend by going 1-1 on the road. Penn State defeated the Hoosiers in Happy Valley 3-0 on Friday, but IU rebounded with a 3-1 defeat of Ohio State Sunday. "Today the team earned an 'A' grade and an 'A' effort," coach Mick Lyon said in a statement after the win over Ohio State. "In talking to many of the coaches in the conference, the difference between the top teams and the teams in the middle of the pack is who finishes their chances. Today we really finished on our chances. Today was another step forward in the development of the program."

Grabavoy nets penalty kick to down Penn State

Penn State came within 5:44 of breaking IU's 31 game winning streak in Big Ten play Friday night in University Park, Penn. But the No. 5 Hoosiers prevailed with a 1-0 double overtime victory over the No. 12 ranked Nittany Lions. The victory was the Hoosiers' tenth straight victory over conference rival Penn State and extended IU's winning streak to 32 straight conference games. IU has now played two of its three conference road games, picking up wins over two other favorites to challenge the Hoosiers for the Big Ten regular season championship.

Undefeated Nittany Lions live up to their legacy

By Alyson Brodsy · Monday, Sept. 30,2002 1:40 a.m.

The Hoosiers were riding high after six straight wins, unprecedented individual statistics and two straight wins against ranked opponents. But, the No. 9 Penn State Nittany Lions were just too much, and the Hoosiers lost 3-0 and fell to 11-3 overall and 1-1 in the Big Ten. Penn State was no easy task for the Hoosiers, as the nationally ranked Nittany Lions have only lost five home matches since 1995 and are only three years removed from a national title. Bolstered by 2,003-person strong Penn State crowd, the Nittany Lions always kept the Hoosiers playing catch-up. While PSU managed to keep the Hoosiers down, they maintained respect for IU's play.

Coming into the Roy Griak Invitation at the University of Minnesota's Les Bolstad Golf Course, the women's cross-country team had finished first and second respectively in their first two meets of the season. After the results were added up Saturday afternoon, the Hoosiers finished fifth out of 22 teams with a score of 153. IU finished just four points behind Marquette. Michigan State, Arizona State and Providence College took the top three spots.

Team takes second place

By Alyson Brodsy · Monday, Sept. 30,2002 1:37 a.m.

Two weeks ago the Hoosiers got off to a big lead in the Wolverine Invitational and were able to hold on to that lead and win the tourney. Unfortunately, this weekend IU stormed out to a large lead and was unable to hold off the competition. The team finished in a second place tie at the Lady Northern Intercollegiate in Iowa City, Iowa. Coach Sam Carmichael said the team's poor play in the final round cost them the title. "We played as bad today as we did good yesterday," he said. "We started out poor, I think we only had one player break 40 on the front nine. We played well on the back, but just dug ourselves too deep on the front and weren't able to overcome that. Kent State played very well today to win." Going in to the final round of the tournament, IU held a seven stroke lead, but Kent State shot a final round 299 to IU's final round 309, and overtook the Hoosiers for the title. Junior Karen Dennison, the No. 1 ranked golfer, according to Golf Week/Sagarin ratings, started the final round with a one stroke lead, but shot a 78 and placed second. Dennison finished one-under par, 218, for the tournament, a career best, eclipsing the mark she set two weeks ago at the Wolverine Invitational, where she won the individual title.

Team battles back after weather postpones play

By Alyson Brodsy and Josh Weinfuss · Monday, Sept. 30,2002 1:35 a.m.

First came the rain, then came the fog, and then came the self-unraveling. After the massive downpour Thursday night, the entire outlook of this past weekend's Northern Intercollegiate was altered. As the players awoke Saturday morning, a thick blanket of fog had settled in overnight, which postponed play until 10 am. When play finally began, the Hoosiers came out lackluster during the first round. Fortunately, for the Hoosiers at least, the lifeless performance lasted for only one round. The team went on to regain its composure and take fifth place alongside Ohio State for the weekend.

Race kicks off cycling series

By Alyson Brodsy and Cory Steger · Monday, Sept. 30,2002 1:33 a.m.

Cyclocross, the first event of the Little 500 Fall Cycling series, took riders over bales of hay, up and down stadium stairs and around parts of Bill Armstrong stadium Saturday. Cyclocross is an event aimed at raising awareness about Little 500. Riders risk injury for a chance to win a $250 scholarship. The two male teams are required to switch riders after every lap and are penalized if they don't complete an obstacle correctly. The women's race, which featured six teams, ultimately saw the Roadrunners win with ease. The Roadrunners team of seniors Jenn Wangerin and Katie Zeller cruised to the finish line in 24 minutes and 19 seconds, more than a minute ahead of their closest competition.

U.S. Grand Prix ending raises eyebrows

By Alyson Brodsy and Colin Nowling · Monday, Sept. 30,2002 1:32 a.m.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Controversy struck again on race day in Indianapolis as Ferrari dominated the United States Grand Prix, with their drivers, Brazilian Rubens Barrichello and German Michael Schumacher, finishing 1-2, respectively. Unlike this year's Indianapolis 500, when controversy swirled over who won the race, this time questions were raised regarding the tactics used between the Ferrari drivers that allowed Barrichello to come out on top. Ferrari's prancing horse controlled the Grand Prix from beginning to end as Barrichello and Schumacher led every lap of the race. Schumacher led after all but five of the 73 laps, including by 2.743 seconds with just two laps remaining. It was then that Schumacher began to slow down to allow Barrichello to close the gap.

Lack of running game grounds Hoosier offense

By Alyson Brodsy and Tyler V. Hoeppner · Monday, Sept. 30,2002 1:29 a.m.

For once, it wasn't the turnovers or missed scoring opportunities that hurt the Hoosiers. Instead it was the running game that went nowhere on Saturday in a 45-17 loss to Ohio State. Coach Gerry DiNardo had stressed to the team all week that the team that could run the ball efficiently and stop the run on defense would have the advantage. The Hoosiers weren't able to do either. Freshman running back Yamar Washington had averaged 149 yards in his previous two games, but he was held in check by the Ohio State defense and gained only 15 yards on 10 carries.

Ohio State squashes Hoosiers

By Alex Hickey and Alyson Brodsy · Monday, Sept. 30,2002 1:20 a.m.

COLUMBUS, OHIO -- No. 6 Ohio State ripped apart a close game by outscoring IU 17-0 in the third quarter en route to a 45-17 win in front of a crowd of 104,194 Saturday. Ohio State freshman running back Maurice Clarett scored three touchdowns to add to his Big Ten leading total of nine for the season. "He's a good back," said freshman linebacker John Kerr, who also played against Clarett in high school. "He's powerful, and he's quick."

Citadel improves image

By Alyson Brodsy · Monday, Sept. 30,2002 1:15 a.m.

CHARLESTON, S.C. -- Seven years ago, male Citadel cadets danced in the rain in bawdy celebration as Shannon Faulkner, the first female cadet, packed to leave after only a week at the school. The image would be replayed on TV for years as an example of how fiercely The Citadel opposed women enrolling at the then-all-male military college.

'Don Giovanni' operatic delight

By Alyson Brodsy and Adam Sedia · Monday, Sept. 30,2002 1:13 a.m.

After months of anticipation and weeks of strenuous rehearsal, Mozart's world-renowned opera "Don Giovanni" had its opening performance at the Musical Arts Center this past Friday. Mozart set his music to the somewhat bawdy libretto written by Lorenzo da Ponte and first performed it in Prague in 1787. It tells the story of a character to whom many college students can relate.

Students get a taste of army life

By Alyson Brodsy · Monday, Sept. 30,2002 1:12 a.m.

JASPER, Ind. -- The men fall into formation. Some seem familiar with the drill. Others make missteps. Some wear fatigues. Others stand rigid, clad in jeans and T-shirts. The grassy grounds of Camp Atterbury are an assault on the senses and a forecast of later challenges. An ominous 40-foot tower stands tall. Rappelling ropes sway in a slight breeze. The crack-crack-crack sound of blanks and the thunderous crash of missile simulators linger in the air. Twice a year, recruiters from southwestern Indiana take groups of high school juniors, seniors and college students to the camp, a military training facility in Edinburgh, and let them get down and dirty. The camp is used to train nearly all branches of the military, including Navy Seals.

Leadership courses enhance resumes

Employers might focus on grades, job experience and references when reviewing potential employees' resumes, but upon seeing "leadership," their eyes widen. Students on the Bloomington campus now have the resources available to make this eye-widening experience happen by enrolling in leadership classes and even fulfilling a newly created 15-credit undergraduate leadership minor.

Jazz duo heats up Malibu Grill

By Johnathon Sanders · Monday, Sept. 30,2002 12:45 a.m.

With the clouds hanging low over Bloomington and a steady drizzle keeping all but the most industrious people indoors, the music coming from inside the Malibu Grill Thursday was quite enticing. Piano and bass duo Paul Johnston and Steve Johnson entertained a small but loyal audience of jazz enthusiasts. Oh, and they managed to impress this lone music reviewer to boot. The duo spent the evening playing a mixture of both popular and lesser known jazz arrangements, keeping the music interesting through the entire set. Paul Johnston's flowing piano really got the people to listen, while Steve Johnson's jazz bass kept the groove in overdrive. The result was an enjoyable combination of good old-fashioned upbeat lounge jazz with a solid taste of soul to round out the mix.

Trapeze artists, middle school choir groups, cotton candy, a chair massage and a lollipop tree all in the same place. The annual Third and High Festival of the Arts celebrated its 20th anniversary Saturday and Sunday at St. Charles Church. The event is a fundraiser for both the parish and the school. It usually brings in about $20,000 and is split equally between the two.

Baring it all

Breasts, fame and money. There's an attention-getter. All three of these have often caused people to wind up in lawsuits, and what better example to give than Girls Gone Wild, the world famous company specializing in videotaping women "baring it all."
