Judge me not by my music

By Adam Aasen · Thursday, Aug. 26,2004 12 a.m.

In Nick Hornby's wonderful book "High Fidelity," the "moral" of the tale is summed up with the oft-quoted line: "It's what you like, not what you are like."

You must be blitzed not to like this title

John Madden has reached a point in his career where he is almost better known for licensing his surname to a successful series of video games than he is for announcing or coaching.

Queen is king of 'best of' collections

By -Nate Bethea · Thursday, Aug. 26,2004 12 a.m.

A dearth of grease

By Adam Aasen · Wednesday, Aug. 25,2004 11:58 p.m.

The Indiana State Fair is about to come to an end once again, and I can't say I participated. Because of scheduling problems, I was unable to partake in greasy, triple-fried snack treats. I wasn't able to walk through animal dung, deafened by the sound of bleating sheep. I wasn't able to shell out my entire wallet to wait in line for shakey, disappointing rides.

Names, names, go away

The end of the summer is upon us, and soon we will be gracing the hallowed halls of this beautiful campus. We'll make the familiar trek to class, sit in the uncomfortable desks and, wait for it -- the reading of the roster.

The oh-so convenient Park and Ride Shuttle won't be quite so convenient anymore. Beginning Sept. 6, students who ride the Park and Ride bus to campus will have to park at the Winslow Sports Complex instead of Bryan Park. Do you know where Winslow Sports Complex is? We didn't think so. The Winslow Sports Complex, located next to the YMCA on Highland Avenue, south of campus, is two and a half miles away from campus -- two miles farther than Bryan Park.

MANNHEIM, Germany -- A U.S. military policewoman accused in the Abu Ghraib prison abuse scandal had the charges against her reduced Wednesday as a set of pretrial hearings wrapped up at an American base in Germany.

BUCHALKI, Russia -- Russian emergency workers searched heaps of twisted metal and tall grass Wednesday for clues about what caused two airliners to plunge to earth within minutes of each other, killing all 89 people aboard. Officials said one jet sent a hijack distress signal. Flight recorders from both planes were found and taken to Moscow for investigation, ITAR-TASS, a Russian news agency, reported, indicating the question of what caused the twin disasters soon could be answered.
