IU travels to Dayton to take on Flyers

By Zachary Osterman · Tuesday, Dec. 4,2007 11:27 p.m.

The IU women’s basketball team will take its 4-3 record on the road Wednesday afternoon to face a stiff test from the Dayton Flyers at UD Arena in Dayton, Ohio. The team is coming off a tough home loss to then-No. 21 Florida State in the inaugural Big Ten/ACC Women’s Basketball Challenge. The Hoosiers kept the game close throughout the contest Nov. 30 against the Seminoles, leading for a good portion of the game and losing by only seven.

Grand Valley State sweeps IU

By Nathan Hart · Tuesday, Dec. 4,2007 11:16 p.m.

With an 0-2-2 record in the Greater Midwest Hockey League going into a two-game weekend series against Grand Valley State, the IU hockey team was worried, but not overly concerned that it didn’t have a league win. After losing twice last weekend, that concern is growing.

La denier cri

By Clare Burke · Tuesday, Dec. 4,2007 11:03 p.m.

Last Sunday, I braved the rain and cold, got out of bed before noon and drove up to the Indianapolis Museum of Art. I was going to complete an assignment for my oh-so-interesting art history class and was planning on going through the exhibit about Roman Art from the Louvre Museum in Paris as quickly as possible, as I wanted to get home in time to catch a small nap before going to work later that evening.

Unequal hate

By Indira Dammu · Tuesday, Dec. 4,2007 7:43 p.m.

Reading through the Indiana Daily Student the other day, I stumbled upon an interesting feature regarding hate-crime laws. The article covered recent efforts by Indiana legislators to introduce “bias” laws. Rep. Greg Porter (D-Ind), author of a new hate-crime bill, said Indiana was one of only five states without hate-crime legislation. I wondered, is this such a bad thing?

Teddy bear troubles

By Ayesha Awan · Tuesday, Dec. 4,2007 7:42 p.m.

You’ve really got to hand it to the Sudanese. My first thought when I heard that thousands of them marched Friday in Khartoum was “Oh, maybe they have finally decided to hold their government accountable for Darfur.” I couldn’t have been more mistaken. Apparently these upstanding citizens of Khartoum were marching against Gillian Gibbons, a 54-year-old school teacher from England.

Divestment portfolio

Tuesday, Dec. 4,2007 7:40 p.m.

During the 1980s, a significant divestment campaign was established to end investments in South Africa, whose apartheid policies represented a human-rights nightmare. On college campuses, university trustees began to explicitly divest from South Africa, and along with other organizations, they helped impede the apartheid regime and eventually lead to its downfall. Divestiture did not repair apartheid on its own, but it certainly helped bring international attention to the problem.

Joining The Circus

Acrobats, fire dancers fuel rise in indie circuses

By Lisa Leff · Tuesday, Dec. 4,2007 9:27 a.m.

SAN FRANCISCO – The DNA Lounge was a real circus the night The Mutaytor came to town. The band looked like a bunch of clowns. Young contortionists folded their limbs like fortune cookies above and around the stage.

IU’s, Bloomington’s green space shrinks

By Lindsey Alexander · Tuesday, Dec. 4,2007 12:25 a.m.

The city has lost about a quarter of its green space over the last 14 years, according to the latest research of the Bloomington Environmental Commission. Mick Renneisen, director of the city’s Parks and Recreation Department, said the report might be more shocking than expected because of what the Environmental Commission defined as green space. The report does not include areas that are within 10 feet of a building or pavement, including hiking trails in parks or areas less than one square acre of contiguous green space.

Deep sea discoveries

The smell of chlorine fills the warm air as a couple of blurry masses move underwater. Scuba diving suits and other diving equipment hang on the wall in the School of Health, Physical Education and Recreation building.

D.J. White carries IU

By Jonathan Hines · Tuesday, Dec. 4,2007 12:08 a.m.

What kind of team do the Hoosiers have without Eric Gordon? What’s a body without a soul? What’s an army without a general? What’s a keg without beer?
