Defending Rumsfeld

By Alyson Brodsy and Brian Stewart · Monday, Nov. 13,2006 9:50 a.m.

Whatever you think about outgoing Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld is wrong. That, at least, is the contrarian conclusion I reached after scanning the press coverage for the past few days. As some were frantically keen for The New York Times to decide what their views would be on this matter, I reached to my bookshelf and pulled down Pentagon analyst Eliot Cohen's essay on democratic leaders in wartime, "Supreme Command."

Jordan River Forum

By Alyson Brodsy · Monday, Nov. 13,2006 9:20 a.m.

LGBT editorial wrong on multiple counts The IDS editorial on Nov. 1 ("Sexual preference") was nothing short of offensive to me as a gay man, as a Middlebury College alumnus and admissions employee, and as a former reporter. It was quite clear from the numerous factual errors and thoughtless assumptions that there was not even the slightest interest in investigating the facts surrounding Middlebury College's admissions policies.

By Annysa LaMantia and Anyssa LaMantia · Monday, Nov. 13,2006 12:37 a.m.

Melanie Graves wove a hodge-podge of music paraphernalia into her daughter's hair Friday. Clad in a sequined dress and go-go boots, IU freshman Marli Haddan wore a three-pound phonograph horn from an antique record player, 45s and disco balls atop a mountain of synthetic hair as Grave's model for Curl Up and Dye for the Arts.

The 'Festival of Lights'

By Jessica Hullinger · Monday, Nov. 13,2006 12:37 a.m.

The glowing stage was the physical center of the Diwali celebration Saturday night, but the focal point was the exuberant crowd, which at times nearly overpowered the voices of the performers at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater.

CINCINNATI -- LaDainian Tomlinson tied his career high with four touchdowns, and Philip Rivers threw a touchdown pass under pressure that completed the Chargers' furious rally Sunday for a 49-41 victory against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Colts make history with 9th win

By Alyson Brodsy and Michael Marot · Monday, Nov. 13,2006 12:23 a.m.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Just call him Patient Peyton. With Buffalo content to slow down the Indianapolis Colts' up-tempo offense, a restrained Peyton Manning relied on short throws, an effective ground game and a time-consuming final drive to lead the Indianapolis Colts past Buffalo 17-16 on Sunday -- and into the NFL record book.

By Jackie Faine and Jacqueline Faine · Monday, Nov. 13,2006 12:18 a.m.

After Saturday's Great Lakes Regional Championships at Bowling Green State University, it became clear that a new leader had emerged in the IU men's cross country pack. Freshman Jordan Kyle took third at the regional meet, earning a spot at the NCAA Championships.

A fitting farewell for the Hoosier seniors

By Alyson Brodsy and Andrew Shaffer · Monday, Nov. 13,2006 12:17 a.m.

Perhaps it was a cruel joke: On Saturday, the football gods forced IU to play No. 2 Michigan in the Hoosiers' final home game of the season. In the last decade, the Wolverines have played with the Hoosiers like a cat playing with a mouse. Before Saturday's game, Michigan had posted wins against IU in their previous 13 meetings. And perhaps it was only fitting that in the Hoosiers' final game at Memorial Stadium this season, it was Michigan that kept the Hoosiers from breaking their 13-year bowl game drought. The Hoosiers were able to move up and down the field frequently, but as soon as they looked poised to score, the Wolverine with whiskers put its paw down and pounced, delaying the possibility of an IU bowl berth for another game.

There's a saying that goes, "You always need to take the positives out of the negatives." This sentiment applied to the IU women's cross country team's performance Saturday.

IU shifts focus to Saturday's game

By Jake Brown and Jacob Brown · Monday, Nov. 13,2006 12:15 a.m.

It was almost like Saturday's game at Memorial Stadium didn't even matter. Shortly after the loss to No. 2 Michigan, IU senior center Justin Frye was already counting down to the season finale against in-state rival Purdue.

Defense looks top-notch

By Alyson Brodsy and Ryan Corazza · Monday, Nov. 13,2006 12:12 a.m.

Both IU men's basketball exhibition games are in the books. Both were blowouts. Both featured a work-in-progress D.J. White and a surprisingly solid Armon Bassett, the backup/counterpart to Earl Calloway. Both displayed the sharp-shooting of junior college transfer Lance Stemler. But what stood out above all else at this early-season juncture was the stifling, hard-nosed defense. Just ask University of Indianapolis coach Todd Sturgeon.

IU wins final exhibition game

By Matt Mattucci · Monday, Nov. 13,2006 12:11 a.m.

The IU men's basketball team defeated the University of Indianapolis 83-46 Friday night at Assembly Hall in its second and final exhibition game of the season. Junior forward D.J. White paced the Hoosiers with 17 points and five rebounds and went 11-for-14 from the free throw line.

Hoosiers take a dive at 5

By Tim O Brien , Tim O'Brien and Clayton Moore · Monday, Nov. 13,2006 12:09 a.m.

Freshman quarterback Kellen Lewis didn't have much time to do anything in Saturday's game against Michigan. The No. 2 team in the country, with the No. 3 overall defense, never allowed Lewis and the Hoosiers to get into a rhythm in the air or on the ground as IU fell 34-3 to the Wolverines.
