Fee for all free-for-all

By Brian J. McFillen and Brain J. McFillen · Sunday, Feb. 20,2005 11:11 p.m.

In Wednesday's IDS, the political parties vying in this week's IUSA election gave their positions regarding the $30 athletics fee. Some parties, citing the fact that we get nothing in return for the money except (hopefully) $2 million worth of gratitude from the athletics department, suggest T-shirts for compensation. Others, noting that the fee was imposed on IU students without sufficient consultation or due process, are pressing for more "dialogue" next time around.

Tonight marks a sad goodbye for seniors Mike Simpson and Pat DeGain as they take the mat at University Gym for the last time. The Hoosiers take on Purdue at 7 p.m. tonight. Sunday will be their final regular season meet as IU travels to Iowa for a showdown with the Hawkeyes. Both have had years marked by missed time -- Simpson missed several weeks with a head injury and the flu, and DeGain has missed the last two weekends of competition with an injured shoulder. Both wrestlers stressed their desires to get one last victory in front of the Hoosier faithful. "The way I go out is more important than any dual meet in the last two years," Simpson said. "It's great to beat Purdue anywhere, but at home would be the best."

Although defense wins championships, every team needs a little offense. The IU women's softball team is looking for that offense after struggling in the batter's box last weekend in the Alexis Resort Classic in Las Vegas, Nev. In the tournament, despite only giving up nine runs in four games, the team managed to come out with just a single win. After combining for only 17 hits in five games, practice has focused clearly on offense to prepare them for their second tournament of the year, the LSU Tiger Classic, in Baton Rouge, La.
