Friendship, loyalty, and working together are three of the main ideals of fraternities and sororities. All three of these ideals are personified by intramural sports. This is why greek organizations are a big part of intramural sports.

Missile Defense: a sound choice

By Joshua Claybourn · Monday, Sept. 24,2001 11:45 p.m.

Right after every disastrous national event, the political equivalents of "ambulance chasers" jump into the spotlight. I'm talking about pundits and politicians who call for more gun control after a shooting or, most recently, no national missile defense because it could not have prevented last week's "September Massacre."

One team, One field

By Jack M. Silverstein and Jack Silverstein · Monday, Sept. 24,2001 11:40 p.m.

A funny thing happened this week at sports arenas across America. One team showed up at each game, and that team had one set of fans. Jersey colors were incidental. In fact, no one even noticed them.

Accepting each other

By Myles Brand · Monday, Sept. 24,2001 11:35 p.m.

When international events happen, they tend to hit home at IU. The large number of foreign students on our campus; the faculty and staff members who have come to IU from around the world; the IU students who are studying and have studied abroad -- all those help make the world seem like a smaller place from here. During the days and weeks ahead, as the world continues to react to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, that international focus will pose opportunities and challenges for our University community.

By Brian Longly · Monday, Sept. 24,2001 1:15 a.m.

Randle El will QB once again

By Nick Bowton · Monday, Sept. 24,2001 1:08 a.m.

Coach Cam Cameron has probably said it to himself 100 times the past two weeks. And Saturday night, after IU's 28-26 loss to Utah, he said it publicly for the first time. Has there ever been a more obvious decision in the history of the game? Apparently not.

By Trevor K. Davis · Monday, Sept. 24,2001 12:25 a.m.

Wall Street will look at the state of the U.S. economy this week. Last week, it became apparent that many jobs will be lost as a result of the terrorist attacks. Airlines have received a bail-out package from the government, but that will not put people back in the air. Hotel chains have been revealing less-than-stellar occupancy rates. Many restaurants are beginning to offer discounts. Cities are now pleading for tourists. In New York, plays are closing.

Last Thursday night, four young pickers from Colorado brought their own brand of knee-slappin', toe-tappin' bluegrass to the Bluebird Nightclub, 216 N. Walnut St. Before the band took the stage, the club teemed with a diverse crowd, a testament to the Yonder Mountain String Band's ability to turn a wide variety of people onto a distinct genre of music.

By Rhonda Betz · Monday, Sept. 24,2001 12:12 a.m.

Though Jake Oakman's dream job is general manager of the Boston Red Sox, he's content to serve as president of the IU Student Association. Oakman, of Springfield, Ohio, was elected to IUSA office with the rest of his Supernova ticket in February. His unassuming demeanor, down-to-earth style and universal likeablility have made him an effective leader, said sophomore Jeff Wuslich, IUSA vice-president for administration.

By Gabriel Lewin and Gabe Lewin · Monday, Sept. 24,2001 12:09 a.m.

Many others with the same idea congregated in the open range behind the Sigma Nu fraternity Saturday afternoon to participate in Alpha Chi Omega's annual Volleyball Classic.

He stated his beliefs in 95 theses that he nailed to the door of a church in Wittenberg, Germany -- the town where he lived in 1517. For this act of defiance against the Catholic Church, religious reformer Martin Luther was excommunicated four years later. Dan Clark did somewhat less last month - he quit his job teaching chemistry at Jefferson High School rather than modify his teachings about evolution. Yet it was an act of defiance also done in the name of God, a personal testimony that many people wouldn't make today. Teaching religion - that's what Lafayette School Corp.

IU makes few changes to security

By Nick Bowton · Friday, Sept. 21,2001 1:57 a.m.

Notre Dame consulted with the FBI and canceled Friday night stadium tours. Police will check the seating and concourse areas with dogs before Purdue plays the Fighting Irish Saturday.
