By Michael Zennie · Friday, Jan. 28,2005 2:17 a.m.

Ashton Center is going to get a face-lift as early as next spring. The IU Board of Trustees' Facilities Committee voted unanimously Thursday in the Dogwood Room of the Indiana Memorial Union to approve designs for the new center.

The buildings currently inhabited by students, Johnston, Hershey, Mason, Moffat, Vos, Stemple and Weatherly Halls, would be unaffected by the new plan.

By Doug Klausen · Friday, Jan. 28,2005 2:12 a.m.

One meet is left for the No. 24 women's swimming and diving team before it plays host to the Big Ten Championship. IU is looking to protect its streak of five wins and looks to gain another victory against Big Ten favorite Penn State. The cream and crimson will be playing host to the Nittany Lions at 6 p.m. Friday and at 10 a.m. Saturday. IU is coming off a close battle between Purdue as the Hoosiers drowned the Boilermakers last weekend 157-141. "We are coming to the part of the season were we are starting to back off our hard practices and start to fine tune for the Big Ten and NCAA Championships," said coach Dorsey Tierney. "Penn State will be a challenge for us and pull a lot of depth from their team in this meet."

Hoosiers try to topple Penn State for 1st time

By Andrew Petersen · Friday, Jan. 28,2005 2:08 a.m.

University Park is the next stop for the IU road show, where the grapplers will look to avenge a 37-4 drubbing last January in Bloomington. The Hoosiers, at 12-1 is off to their best start since the 1995-96 season, have never won in six meetings against Penn State. Coach Duane Goldman will get an opportunity to reverse that trend Friday. He will have a full lineup to work with for the first time in weeks. Two starters were held out last week because of a bout with the flu.

Headaches continue with IU away from home

By Dan Click · Friday, Jan. 28,2005 2 a.m.

All season long IU has been mired in road difficulties, and that didn't change Thursday night as the Hoosiers fell to Illinois 53-43 in Champaign, Ill. The same problems that have been plaguing IU (8-10, Big Ten 1-7) throughout Big Ten play -- scoring droughts and turnovers -- ended any chance the Hoosiers had of picking up their first conference road win. Despite sluggish play, IU had many chances to even the score toward the game's end.

Duke loses for 1st time this season as its top trio falters DURHAM, N.C. -- When Duke needed a basket, J.J. Redick tried to deliver. The streaky scorer took 3-pointers, stepped inside the arc for midrange jumpers and even drove to the basket. Very few of his shots went in as Maryland's stifling defense sent the Blue Devils to their first loss.

Die DOS, die

By Jeff Alsott and Jeff Alstott · Friday, Jan. 28,2005 1 a.m.

I hate Microsoft. Using clever business strategies, Bill Gates has managed to take the idea of open-sourcing intellectual property and has constructed a computer empire spanning the globe, with no one to oppose him. I was under the impression that monopolies were a Bad ThingTM, and Microsoft definitely qualifies.
