Innocent man tells prison tale

By Mallory Simon · Friday, April 15,2005 1:23 p.m.

Inside a small granite cell on death row in 1984, Kirk Bloodsworth spent his first night in jail as a convicted rapist and child murderer -- but he wasn't guilty. When the electricity failed that night, the prison went black and the inmates' roar grew louder. Fires were burning, toilets were stuffed and inmates could be heard chanting through the vents at him.

It's Little 500 time

By Katie Schoenbaechler and Katie Shoenbaechler · Friday, April 15,2005 2:32 a.m.

As students slowed down their schoolwork and began to prepare for the "World's Greatest College Weekend," Little 500 riders began to slow down too. But their adjustment was different, as they prepare for Saturday's 55th running of the men's Little 500 at Bill Armstrong Stadium. The men cut back their training to be at full strength for the race and prepared to get in the mindset to be in front on the 199th lap.

By Andy Romey · Friday, April 15,2005 2:32 a.m.

Like a fine wine, the quality of the women's Little 500 race improves each year, and this year, the race's value skyrocketed. Today's Little 500, scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. at Bill Armstrong Stadium, will bring 32 teams together all with the same dream of celebrating after lap 100. But unlike years past, there are more than just a couple of teams threatening to win it all.

By Brian Janosch · Friday, April 15,2005 2:32 a.m.

Some things are bigger than sport. For an entire year, Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority's primary focus rested on winning its second consecutive Little 500. That was until a gray Honda station wagon collided with a red Jeep Cherokee right outside the Kappa house late Monday evening. Kappa sorority member and former Little 500 teammate Ashley Crouse was in the backseat of the Jeep. She was pronounced dead early Tuesday morning.

By Andrew Shaffer · Friday, April 15,2005 2:27 a.m.

In the fifth inning of the first game against Minnesota last week, junior second baseman Jay Brant received a ground ball hop straight to his jaw. Brant left the game and consequently lost his 19-game hitting streak, the longest such streak by a Hoosier this season.

This past Tuesday, as you all know, IU lost one of its own when Kappa Kappa Gamma senior Ashley Crouse lost her life in a car accident, right in front of her house. Not the way you want to end your days, for sure.

BOSTON -- The New York Yankees got into another scuffle with fans on a testy night at Fenway Park. This time, Gary Sheffield was in the middle of it.

By Bryan Lufkin and Byran Lufkin · Friday, April 15,2005 1:45 a.m.

With the ferocious fighting demons of shows like "InuYasha" and the futuristic gunfights of the sci-fi "Cowboy Bebop," the IU Anime Club appeals to the fiercely loyal fan following of the Eastern-style animation.

IU's budget system still proven 15 years after inception

By David Charles · Friday, April 15,2005 1:43 a.m.

With a proposal making its way through the Indiana Senate, budgeting at IU may very well get even tighter, renewing discussions of how IU's budgeting system works. Since 1989, IU has been under a budgeting system called Responsibility Centered Management. Basically, RCM makes the budgets of all the different schools of IU separate, but it's not that simple.

The greatest college weekend?

By Matt Glenesk · Friday, April 15,2005 1:41 a.m.

The self-proclaimed "World's Greatest College Weekend" is upon us. That sounds awfully presumptuous, and I myself have doubts about Little 500. To believe that a late April weekend in Indiana has been termed the greatest of anything comes as a surprise to this Florida transplant. I would expect maybe the greatest ratio of tooth decay, but the "World's Greatest College Weekend?" Wow, that's a tough pill to swallow.
