Bowden down to the master?

By -Val Tsoutsouris · Thursday, Oct. 30,2003 2:06 a.m.

Florida State's 48-24 win over Wake Forest Saturday was both ordinary and extraordinary. It was ordinary in that once again, the Seminoles routed an outmanned ACC opponent. It was extraordinary in that Bobby Bowden became the all-time winningest coach in Division I-A college football history with victory No. 339. Bowden passed Penn State's Joe Paterno, whose team lost at Iowa. Paterno is also active, although with the way Penn State has played this season, calling Paterno "active" is somewhat like calling Ted Williams active. Or Pope John Paul II.

Casino waiting for vote

By Kourtney Schepman · Thursday, Oct. 30,2003 1:38 a.m.

By Nov. 4, Indiana's 11th casino could be approved for construction in Orange County.

A referendum is pending on whether a gambling establishment should be placed there. French Lick and West Baden, famous for their picturesque scenery and historic hotels, are deeply divided over the establishment of a new riverboat gambling hall. The economically-struggling county has been polarized over the pending construction of the casino that would be docked between two hotels struggling for solid business.

A flurry of furry tails

By Maura Halpern · Thursday, Oct. 30,2003 1:36 a.m.

You're walking to class, enjoying IU's colorful fall foliage, when out of nowhere a cluster of acorns falls from above. A furry tail flickers as it jets down the tree trunk and a frantic brown fox squirrel begins to dig for more seeds and nuts beneath a blanket of fallen leaves. This scene is commonplace on IU's wooded campus, where many squirrels make their home. Michele Risinger, a first-year graduate student, said she has experienced this situation before.
