Good fencers make good neighbors

By Alyson Brodsy and Ryan Corazza · Friday, Jan. 20,2006 12:24 a.m.

As the ink dried on the 'Conditions of Participation and Release' form I signed to try my hand at dueling with the IU Fencing Club, I was already ridiculously out of place. Blue corduroys might be the right call if you're trying to score scene points, but they don't fly if you're fencing -- a sport centered on maximizing your agility.

By Alyson Brodsy and Alan Robinson · Friday, Jan. 20,2006 12:19 a.m.

PITTSBURGH -- Colts quarterback Peyton Manning's arm-waving, finger-pointing and nonstop gesturing at the line of scrimmage seemed especially frantic against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and for good reason.

Super Bowl teams to be set on Sunday

By Alyson Brodsy and Barry Wilner · Friday, Jan. 20,2006 12:18 a.m.

SEATTLE -- The road to the Super Bowl never leads through Carolina. Instead, it leads the Panthers all over the map. Two years ago, the team went to St. Louis and Philadelphia in the playoffs, won both times and made its first NFL championship game appearance. This winter, the stops have been in the Northeast (23-0 over the Giants), the Midwest (29-21 over the Bears) and, now, the Pacific Northwest, where the Seahawks await Sunday in the NFC title game.

Nanny advantage?

By Alyson Brodsy and Ayesha Awan · Friday, Jan. 20,2006 12:08 a.m.

You don't know Jack

By Alyson Brodsy and Bryan Schmidt · Friday, Jan. 20,2006 12:07 a.m.

"In the beginning, there was Abramoff." -- Frank Rich, October 2005. The story of disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff has taken Washington by storm. His connections to politicians are still nebulous, but Abramoff's sordid tale reads like something out of "The Sopranos." Consider the following facts from a comprehensive report in The Weekly Standard, listed in the order in which they occurred:

Can't buy me love (from a vending machine)

By Alyson Brodsy · Friday, Jan. 20,2006 12:05 a.m.

So, we on the editorial board just read that Northwestern University is starting to offer condoms for sale from the residence hall vending machines. Our response is that this plan should be stopped -- it's clearly a sign of moral degradation on Northwestern's campus, and will promote promiscuity and unnatural sexual behavior outside the bounds of God's law.

By Alyson Brodsy and Deanna Martin · Friday, Jan. 20,2006 12 a.m.

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Senate advanced a bill Thursday intended to prohibit protests within 500 feet of funerals -- legislation that stems from protests by a Kansas-based anti-gay group at Indiana military funerals. The bill, which cleared the Senate 47-1, now moves to the House, where it could face changes because of confusion about what the legislation would actually do.

Alumnus, curator to speak at benefit dinner

By Stacey Laskin · Thursday, Jan. 19,2006 11:46 p.m.

Outside the School of Fine Arts, professors in bright greens and purples smoke cigarettes and watch the students: boys in skinny pants and overpriced loafers, girls with chunky glasses and rainbows for bangs. The smoke clouds drift over their heads and dissipate into the rain and wind. Everything in this building is art: the witchy cackles propelling the steam puffs, the swirls in the commercial carpet and the broken-pencil scent filling the hallways.

After-dinner feast with friends

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, Jan. 19,2006 11:45 p.m.

A dinner with friends often involves a homemade meal, a bottle of wine or two and a hearty round of chuckles before lengthy bouts of chit-chat. If you toss in a moment of man-meets-woman in the name of connivance, man-rids-woman for another in the name of love, and man-and-woman-mate in the name of raging lust, then you have "Dinner with Friends," a play written by Donald Margulies and directed by IU theater professor Bruce Burgun, showing at the John Waldron Arts Center Friday and Saturday.

By Tim O Brien and Tim O'Brien · Thursday, Jan. 19,2006 9:23 p.m.

Last Thursday, the IU women's basketball team won its third Big Ten game of the year in a game at Northwestern. After the win, IU coach Sharon Versyp gave her team three days off before they would come back and prepare for their game with No. 7 Ohio State. In the early moments of last night's game with the Buckeyes, it seemed that the extra rest had backfired for Versyp and the Hoosiers as Ohio State jumped out of the gates strong, taking an early 12-2 lead.

Window of opportunity

By Amanda Robert · Thursday, Jan. 19,2006 11:27 a.m.

Daisy, a small Latino girl with glossy hair and dark eyes meant for taking in the world, conversed in Spanish with her classmates while creating Play-Doh masterpieces in Pascale Hardy's three- to five-year-olds' evening Head Start class. Moments later, she effortlessly switched to English as she spoke with the class aide. "What's your name?" Daisy asked. "Megan," said the aide.
