By Matt Dollinger · Monday, Sept. 25,2006 12:23 a.m.

Coming from behind in two games this weekend, the No. 14 Hoosiers extended their winning streak to nine games, the second longest in team history. IU (9-1) needed double overtime Friday to win its Big Ten season opener 5-4 versus the Northwestern Wildcats.

Hoosiers blow lights out on Gophers, Buckeyes

By John Wustrow · Monday, Sept. 25,2006 12:22 a.m.

Blow out those birthday candles, Hoosiers. You deserve them. Senior defender Lauren Lamping scored the lone goal for the IU women's soccer team Friday night -- her birthday -- to lead the Hoosiers to a 1-0 win against Minnesota. Senior midfielder Ali Brown followed suit Sunday -- the day after her birthday -- scoring two goals for the Hoosiers in a 2-1 victory against Ohio State.

Doom in the gloom

By Alyson Brodsy and Andrew Shaffer · Monday, Sept. 25,2006 12:12 a.m.

The game began as the rain continued. Sloppy weather conditions were exceeded only by sloppier football play as the Hoosiers played their final nonconference game against the University of Connecticut Saturday. Soon it grew clear as the skies grew cloudy that this would not be a high-scoring game. Things seemed set for doom in the gloom.

Huskies hold off IU

By Tim O Brien and Tim O'Brien · Monday, Sept. 25,2006 12:09 a.m.

The IU quarterback controversy changed Saturday afternoon against the University of Connecticut -- and not for the better. Junior Blake Powers and freshman Kellen Lewis struggled to get on track, gaining just 192 total yards of offense in a 14-7 loss to the Huskies.

Closing minds

By Alyson Brodsy and Brian Stewart · Sunday, Sept. 24,2006 10:59 p.m.

I've always found that common sense is useful in life -- which, in a university classroom, often puts one in the minority. One such moment occurred roughly one year ago this week -- in an introductory journalism course, of all places. This still ranks as one of the most infuriating conversations with a professor I have ever been party to (and I'm something of a connoisseur).

Censorship children

By Alyson Brodsy and Grace Low · Sunday, Sept. 24,2006 10:58 p.m.

Thirty-six percent of American high school students believe that the media has too much freedom and should be screened by the government before going to press. This figure represents the most troubling facet of the trend I touched on last week: the growing attraction toward censorship. More than one in three students fail to recognize the intent of the First Amendment and the protection the press affords. Granted, teenagers aren't exactly the most wise or experienced demographic (when I was their age, I thought communism was a good idea and pleather pants looked fantastic), so they are not to be held fully responsible for their horribly skewed perception of freedom. They are quick to band together against the establishment when freedom of expression is threatened, but so many are now calling for a nasty concept known as prior restraint. Why? Because children learn by example.

Sweaty pie

By Alyson Brodsy and Michelle Manchir · Sunday, Sept. 24,2006 10:57 p.m.

My eyes produce more eye crust than the average person's -- I could bake pies with the amount I pick from my eyes some mornings.

IU veterans honored during football game

By Peter Stevenson · Sunday, Sept. 24,2006 10:56 p.m.

Rain and wind might have kept some fans away from Sunday's football game against the University of Connecticut, but it did not stop several IU ROTC cadets and cadre members from showing up.

The decline of diversity?

By Alyson Brodsy · Sunday, Sept. 24,2006 10:56 p.m.

Is IU turning into just another white-dominated institution? A Sept. 15 Indiana Daily Student story concerning a lower amount of black student enrollment this year has people asking whether IU is becoming less diverse. We contend that it is much too early to make any hasty generalizations. At its base, the fact that the black freshman population declined from 412 last year to 345 this year could be alarming. But it is necessary in these instances to step back and take a full view of the situation. Certain questions must be asked.

CLASH

By Alyson Brodsy · Sunday, Sept. 24,2006 10:53 p.m.

CLASH -- People run past burning debris after clashes between police and protesters who were staging a sit-in Sunday in Copenhagen, Denmark. Police detained more than 200 people Sunday after a youth demonstration in Copenhagen turned violent, with protesters hurling cobblestones, bottles and eggs at officers in riot gear. The demonstrators were protesting a court ruling last month ordering a group of young squatters to leave a downtown building and hand it over to a Christian congregation that bought it five years ago.
