By Lindsey Jancek and Lindsay Jancek · Wednesday, Oct. 1,2003 1:19 a.m.

For many U.S. residents, the war in Iraq is millions of miles away, physically and mentally. For members of the Indiana National Guard, Iraq is a temporary home away from family and friends. According to an unofficial announcement in a letter from Lt. Col. James Gentry, Battalion Commander of the 152nd Infantry Regiment of the Indiana National Guard, a group of over 600 soldiers stationed in Kuwait and Iraq will not return until early next year -- possibly February said Gentry.

Hoosiers take time to give back

By Cory Steger · Tuesday, Sept. 30,2003 1:39 a.m.

Somewhere between class, practice, homework, and everything else a student-athlete has to do, the Hoosiers find time to give something back to their community. Even though the team is halfway through the season, it has already reached out to the community three times. On Aug. 23, the team participated in the first annual Latino Summer Festival. The event gave members of the community an opportunity to meet teams Seleccion Huracan and Seleccion Hawthorne Latino, both part of the Indiana Super League, as well as other amateur soccer teams. The team also took in a part of the Latino culture when they were taught how to salsa dance. Freshman forward Megan Sterrett said she enjoys giving back to the community. "I think doing community service is great," she said. "Bloomington has supported the school and the women's soccer team so much that it's great to give back to the community."
