By Jackie Faine and Jacqueline Faine · Sunday, Sept. 10,2006 11:29 p.m.

In the face of rising temperatures, rolling hills and coarse, wet grass, fatigue wasn't the only thing the IU men's cross country team had to combat. In addition to the challenging course and humid weather, the Hoosiers took to the trail against Butler, Huntington University, Minnesota and Purdue.

Healthy glow?

By Alyson Brodsy and Michelle Manchir · Sunday, Sept. 10,2006 11:21 p.m.

I undressed and climbed into a coffin-shaped vestibule full of cancer-causing light with an angry bee with an enormous stinger painted on the side. I'm not describing my experience as a prisoner of war. All I did was "go tanning."

In loving memory

By Alyson Brodsy and Grace Low · Sunday, Sept. 10,2006 11:20 p.m.

On this, the anniversary of Sept. 11, I am embittered by continued reports of human rights violations excused as a response to that atrocity which has become most close to the patriotic heart. It can be agreed upon by all that the loss of life that day was monstrous, and the blow to our confidence and sense of security was terrifying. No American with sense can argue that we should just let these things go or brush it off as an isolated incident carried out by a small group of extremists. As the suicide bombers and al-Zarqawis of the world show us, there are many sick, desperate people who enjoy making statements by massacring the innocent. As the Geneva Convention has set forth, such people must be brought to justice. However, to do so with lies, cover-ups, tortures and terror is certainly not the correct way to go about it. To utilize such methods makes our administration no better than any other terrorist organization.

Hostilities exist

By Alyson Brodsy and Brian Stewart · Sunday, Sept. 10,2006 11:19 p.m.

The engulfing fires had not been put out in lower Manhattan before I was introduced to the charge that Sept. 11 was a revenge assault for America's "indefensible" imperialism -- imperialism that some of us proceeded to defend with great vigor. Already classmates were opposed to a muscular counterstrike; I'll never forget lunch the next day, when some inquired about what made barbarism so intolerable. I replied, instinctively, but with great composure: It was nothing so intolerable that civilized firepower would not put right. For my trouble, I was branded a "warmonger." This memory surged to the top of my thoughts when I dined out this summer with some old friends. In the midst of superior political conversation, a man from the next table leaned over to ask, without the customary apology for eavesdropping, "Why are there so many of you warmongers?" When I first heard this witless sneer years before, I was slightly dumbfounded. But this time, to my delighted astonishment, I didn't mind the appellation. Given this obviously pejorative throwaway remark, the man could plainly not see the need for anything but "peace-at-any-price," so I undertook to inform him. "Well, sir, as warmongers like us never tire of explaining, we're in a war."

Open (Face)book?

By Alyson Brodsy · Sunday, Sept. 10,2006 11:18 p.m.

Last week, Facebook, the popular social networking site, revamped its page, creating a pseudo-news feed of what everyone's friends are doing. Instead of common things like who was having a birthday that week, it displayed everything from a new comment a friend made on another friend's page to when relationships were broken off and so on. Not only did it list every minor detail, it also displayed the exact time this action took place -- kind of like a news ticker, only even worse than corporate news (if you can imagine that).

Robbery, gun violence rose last year while overall crime reached 32-year low

By Alyson Brodsy and Michael J. Sniffen · Sunday, Sept. 10,2006 11:15 p.m.

WASHINGTON -- Americans were robbed and victimized by gun violence at greater rates last year than the year before, even though overall violent and property crime reached a 32-year low, the Justice Department said Sunday. Experts said these increases buttress reports from the FBI and many mayors and police chiefs that violent crime is beginning to rise after a long decline. Bush administration officials expressed concern but stressed that it was too soon to tell if a new upward trend in violence had begun.
