By Durga Raghunath · Monday, Jan. 29,2001 12:02 a.m.

Judging from President George W. Bush's recent cabinet appointments, experts anticipate a dramatic shift in the see-saw between protecting the environment and extracting energy from public land.

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Interim head coach Mike Davis needed a moment to himself after IU's 71-66 loss to No. 17 Iowa Saturday. He just finished watching his team squander a 17-point halftime lead and fall to 3-4 in the Big Ten. The second half was not a pretty sight for Davis.

By Lindsay Schoenfeld · Sunday, Jan. 28,2001 11:58 p.m.

With President George W. Bush in office, some are concerned about the controversial issue of capital punishment. Psychologist and author Robert J. Lifton spoke Wednesday in the Indiana Memorial Union Whittenberger Auditorium about the death penalty. He spoke about his new book, "Who Owns Death: Capital Punishment," and the dangers and morality of capital punishment. He began his talk with a joke, but the discussion that followed was far more serious.

Children learn about Chinese Lunar New Year

By Sarah Tolson · Sunday, Jan. 28,2001 11:56 p.m.

Children clumsily tried to fish M&Ms out of bowls with wooden chopsticks Saturday at the Monroe County Public Library, 303 E. Kirkwood Ave. The object of the game was to transport the candy from one bowl to another and teach the kids how to use traditional Asian chopsticks. Once successfully moved, the prize was eating the candy. This was one of the activities the Asian Culture Center offered at the third annual Lunar New Year Celebration for Kids.

By Kama Korvela · Sunday, Jan. 28,2001 11:31 p.m.

K'ai Roberts fell in love this summer. She has been dancing since she was 3 years old, but it wasn't until a trip to Hawaii that she learned the art of Argentine tango. "I went there to learn the international waltz, and I met someone who told me that they would teach me to tango," Roberts said. "Four hours later, I fell in love with it." Roberts, a native of Bloomington, is a veteran of dance. She said she grew up dancing with her sister Julie, and eventually realized how passionate she was about the art.

The Maryland quintuplet kicked off the first set with its classic "island roots rock" sound, leading into an extended jam of "City on Down," the melody carried by the saxophonist, Jerry DePizzo.

Greenspan supports tax cuts

By Troy Barratt · Sunday, Jan. 28,2001 11:27 p.m.

Constant increases in projected future surpluses have caused Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan to change his fiscally conservative stance of debt reduction to include the goal of tax cuts. While many in Washington side with his new position, some believe it is irrational.

Bush should reconsider some proposals

By Brian Zell · Sunday, Jan. 28,2001 10:56 p.m.

After reading news reports of his first week in office, I feel the need to warn President George W. Bush of a conspiracy threatening to taint his infant presidency. This conspiracy concerns the "smart" people Dubya has surrounded himself with to allay the fear of the general populace that he might do something stupid, like selling Manhattan back to the Indians for a bunch of shiny beads.

Reinstating the Global Gag Rule

By Sarita Chourey · Sunday, Jan. 28,2001 10:54 p.m.

Reinstating the Global Gag Rule, denying funding to international programs that counsel women on abortion, was a stroke of brilliance on President George W. Bush's part. I find myself rethinking original perceptions of him, giving him a fair shake, as he'd say. How do you make sure a multi-billion dollar Star Wars defense system doesn't go to waste?

IUSA candidates, cough up my money

By Duncan Teater · Sunday, Jan. 28,2001 10:52 p.m.

I have been struggling with the IU Student Association campaign. Whether to write about it, that is. For about 15 months, I've tracked the big election. You know, the one for president. Along the way, I've looked at senatorial races and the odd house race. It's been a good run, especially the two month bonus period. People were mad at each other. Protesters hit the streets. And for the first time in 100 years, our sitting president won fewer votes than his opponent. What a thrill. But all of that is done.

Brand's speech self-serving

Sunday, Jan. 28,2001 10:49 p.m.

Tuesday, IU President Myles Brand stood before gathered members of the National Press Club in Washington, to preach about the state of academics in universities. And preach he did. The only reason Brand was put in the national spotlight was because he was the man who fired men's basketball coach Bob Knight. Without that credit to his name, Brand would just be another face in the crowd of university presidents complaining about the quality of academics.

You

By Jessica Halverson · Friday, Jan. 26,2001 1:45 p.m.

You has proved the impossible possible. There is such a thing as white, 1980s Motown. Blowing Up is a work of warm, melodic art. This seven-song EP, born in Bloomington, adds an air of sultry freshness to the local scene.
