Rivalry needs Knight

·

Bush's inauguration lacks poetic essence

·

The echo of pomp and pageantry surrounding the 43rd inauguration is fading, but there's something missing from the twang of country music and trill of Latin lyrics heard at festivities. What's missing is the composed tone of finality that lingers with the last word of a poem.

Sweatshops must be reformed

·

No talking, resting or getting up. Someone might even follow you into the bathroom. For the workers at the Kukdong garment factory in Atlixco, Mexico, these are the new factory rules. After two weeks of being the victims of a brutal anti-freedom of association campaign, those who have returned to work out of desperation are subject to more abuse and harassment than ever before.

Must all views be represented fairly?

Should the columnists employed by the IDS opinion page represent both liberal and conservative views equally? That is the question that was raised last week in regard to some recent columns that were printed -- and one that wasn't -- on the opinion page of this newspaper.

Hoosiers collapse in final three minutes

·

MINNEAPOLIS -- The disappearance of a 13-point lead against Minnesota wasn't a huge mystery after IU's 78-74 loss to the Gophers. The only question is who's to blame. Interim head coach Mike Davis said fingers should be pointed his way. "We did a great job except for the last three minutes of the game, when we fell apart, and I'll take full responsibility for that," Davis said. Freshman guard A.J. Moye said the blame lies on the players.

Club team searching for attention

·

Although many are familiar with IU's women's volleyball team, some might not be aware there is a men's team. The team is a B-level club sport, which means it receives minimal monetary support from the University, does not compete at the Division-I varsity level and does most of the financing on its own. The uniforms are provided by IU. "Nobody thinks that there is a men's team here, but this is it," team president and sophomore Jeremy Levy said.

Hockey splits with Miami

·

Many Hoosier hockey enthusiasts thought they would have a clearer picture of the Midwest Collegiate Hockey League standings after the weekend's two-game series between Miami of Ohio and IU. But the only thing anyone could really determine from the weekend is that the two teams are bitter rivals, well-matched and anxious for a third game. After skating past Miami without much difficulty Friday, the Hoosiers found themselves in an all-out war Saturday, which ended with four players suspended and a last-minute Miami lead and victory.

Texans hire Capers as coach

·

HOUSTON -- It's not easy to get the kind of experience that Dom Capers has on his resume: successfully building an NFL franchise from the ground up. That was a big reason the expansion Houston Texans made him their first head coach. Capers, who took the Carolina Panthers from nothing to the playoffs in two years, officially signed a six-year contract with the Texans on Sunday. "We've visited with a number of qualified coaches that we think the world of and any one of those coaches could have coached this team and done a wonderful job," owner Bob McNair said.
