Hoosier duo qualifies for nationals race

By Lee Hurwitz · Monday, Nov. 13,2006 12:16 a.m.

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.

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.

Energetic 'Crucible'production anything but a history lesson

By Alyson Brodsy and Rachel Skybetter · Sunday, Nov. 12,2006 10:47 p.m.

Graduate student John R. Armstrong promised a wonderful theatrical experience, not a history lesson, to those who attended "The Crucible" Friday night. He was right. The familiar Arthur Miller play kept energy high and history lessons nonexistent in the IU Department of Theatre and Drama's opening performance of "The Crucible" at the Ruth N. Halls Theatre.

Ben Folds 'rumbles' a sold-out IU crowd

By Zack Teibloom · Sunday, Nov. 12,2006 10:45 p.m.

Accordion rock got the crowd on its feet, and Ben Folds kept them there Thursday night at the IU Auditorium. Folds' energetic two-hour show had the packed auditorium standing, singing and clapping along for the entire concert. Folds rocked the auditorium, playing a mix of new and old songs.

In us we trust

By Alyson Brodsy and Grace Low · Sunday, Nov. 12,2006 10:23 p.m.

A decision by the student trustees of Orange Coast College in California has revived the debate on the Pledge of Allegiance in public institutions. The trustees have voted almost unanimously to ban the recitation of the pledge at their meetings, citing ideological issues with swearing loyalty to God or country. The leader is an atheist who claims a government must earn allegiance, not bully its citizens into reciting rote patriotism. Some of their schoolmates have responded with vehement disagreement, loudly reciting the pledge at their open meetings and going public with accusations of being inappropriately offensive and anti-American. This debate bears to question: Are these students forward-thinking heroes of constitutional fervor, or are they commie bastards who should get out if they don't like America?

A change of plans

By Alyson Brodsy and Michelle Manchir · Sunday, Nov. 12,2006 10:22 p.m.

Last Wednesday I was worried about missing a workout. I was worried about skipping statistics class the day before. I was worried about studying for an art history quiz.

Flunking the SAT

By Alyson Brodsy · Sunday, Nov. 12,2006 10:20 p.m.

Oh, IUSA, you were doing so well. With investigating the allocation of the Rape Crisis Fund, supporting plans for a more environmentally sustainable campus and calling for more student input in the presidential search process, we were fairly convinced of the legitimacy of this student administration. Our warm, fuzzy feelings toward IUSA came to a screeching halt, however, when quite possibly the most ill-conceived idea since the 2002 election Corvette debacle (in which IUSA purchased a Corvette for approximately $50,000 that would be raffled off in order to get students to vote in the 2002 general election) came into fruition Thursday.

Governor's proposed bypass would likely spark land battles

By Alyson Brodsy · Sunday, Nov. 12,2006 10:14 p.m.

INDIANAPOLIS -- If Gov. Mitch Daniels' plan to build a tollway on the far outskirts of Indianapolis wins legislative approval, land-use experts said the highway would likely be challenged by landowners unwilling to have their land swallowed up for the project.

By Christopher Bodeen · Sunday, Nov. 12,2006 10:13 p.m.

BAGHDAD, Iraq -- A pair of suicide bombs ripped through a crowd of would-be police recruits in Baghdad Sunday, killing at least 35, and authorities found 75 bodies in the capital and Baqouba, an unusually high number even by Iraq's grim standards.

Veterans honored Saturday at courthouse

By Michael Reschke · Sunday, Nov. 12,2006 10:13 p.m.

People greeted each other with smiles and handshakes just before entering the doorway on a blustery November day. It was standing room only in the rotunda of the Monroe County Courthouse as "America the Beautiful" was played on a piano. Those with seats joined those already standing as everyone removed their hats to recite the Pledge of Allegiance.
