Hoosiers to face Iowa, Notre Dame at home

By Zack Eldridge · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

In athletics, some say the way to become the best is to play the best. The IU men's tennis team will get that chance Saturday against in-state perennial power Notre Dame. After losing their last three matches, and five of the past six, the Hoosiers have the daunting task of facing the No. 7 Fighting Irish in addition to conference foe Iowa.

Who's kicking who?

By Jason Recker · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Anyone else confused? IU has played five games, and in each one, the Hoosiers have missed either a field goal or an extra point. Field goals -- ones from further than 35 yards -- are understandable. But what IU is doing isn't. The Hoosiers have two kickers -- sophomore Adam Braucher and freshman Bryan Robertson -- who have combined to miss five extra points in 17 attempts. IU opponents have missed only one of their 18 point-after attempts. IU's field goal efforts -- again from Braucher and Roberston -- have failed on four of five tries. Makes you wonder if these two are kicking with the correct feet. The good news is Braucher and Robertson are young, so they have time to improve. The bad news is if they don't improve, it could be a long, bumpy road for the duo ... and IU might be better off betting on the two-point conversion.

Monroe Lake at record level

By Tim Street · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Monroe Lake reached record levels Tuesday as runoff from the week's heavy rains caused the already-swollen lake to rise even higher. For the first time in the dam's 37-year history, water levels rose high enough to reach the emergency spillway, designed to handle overflow from the dam.

Bench play propels Hoosiers past Sooners

By Dan Cortez · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

ATLANTA -- As the Hoosiers continue to move through the NCAA tournament, two things stay the same. The doubters tell them why they can't win and IU proves them wrong.

Welfare reform sanctions too harsh

By Travis R. Thickstun · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

When Republicans swept the 1994 elections, gaining majorities in both houses of Congress, they set their sights on several policy areas, not the least of which was reforming welfare. With the passage of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act, signed into law by President William Clinton on August 22, 1996, they succeeded in ending the nation's 61-year-old federal guarantee of cash assistance.

Note sales a student's right

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Several professors in the political science department are punishing students with an "F" for selling or buying notes. While these professors are free to set their own standards of academic honesty, the implications of a note-selling prohibition are dubious. Currently the University does not have a blanket policy regulating the sales of notes.

Senate readies for campaign finance bill

By David Espo · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

WASHINGTON -- Moving swiftly, Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle pledged Thursday to seek passage of sweeping legislation to rewrite campaign spending rules "the minute we receive it" from the House. He said any filibuster was doomed. "This is the year we're finally going to pass campaign finance reform," Daschle, D-S.D., said at a combination news conference and celebration arranged by jubilant supporters of the measure less than eight hours after the House approved it.

Athletics key part of college

Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

A year ago January, IU President Myles Brand delivered his speech, "Academics first: Reforming intercollegiate athletics," to the National Press Club. President Brand commented on how there exists a "disconnect" between the mission of academic institutions and the proliferation of NCAA Division IA athletics. The example he used to demonstrate the "disconnect" is the public's response to the Knight firing as compared to its response to a $105 million Lilly endowment donation to the Indiana Genomics Initiative.

By Amy Currry and Amy Curry · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Latin dance sounds from Orquesta Son, a group of local musicians, filled Dunn Meadow Saturday as people danced in salsa steps, lounged on blankets, dined on ethnic foods and simply enjoyed Festival Latino. The event, now in its fourth year, is a way to celebrate Latino culture on campus and in Bloomington. Festival Latino serves to connect the Latino campus and community with music and to provide information about services available on campus.

Punishment needed

By Ryan Gunterman · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

If you act like an idiot, you should be treated like an idiot. That's the new policy the University of Maryland implemented after post-NCAA championship riots. If any Maryland student is caught being disruptive (i.e. rioting) on the University's campus the main punishment for those actions is expulsion. While expulsion is a bit harsh, the basic idea of the new rule is a good one. IU's policy is geared in the same direction for unruly students, but the standards are held to students off campus as well as on, and, thankfully, Dean of Students Richard McKaig said expulsion is rare.

Back of pack hopeful about race day

By Greg Jenkins · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

The final row in the 2001 women's Little 500 is no different than the final rows in the men's race; most of the teams in the back of the pack lack experience. This row is no different. The final qualifier lost a team member two days before qualifications, and another squad hasn't raced since 1997.

Out the door of academia

By Alyson Brodsy and Brian Longly · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

With the coming and going of Aug. 27, another fall semester kicked off at IU. It should have started with the yelling of "It has begun!" by that guy from the "Mortal Kombat" movie. (Only you TBS connoisseurs know what I'm talking about.)

Financial aid faces change

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Congressman Mark Souder (R-Ind.) never intended for the legislation that he drafted to be so harsh. In 1998 Souder added a clause to the Higher Education Act that was supposed to strip students of federal financial aid if convicted of possessing or selling drugs while enrolled in college, not including all previous infractions. Now the Bush administration is using the provision to deny students funding if they fail to answer a question on financial aid applications about former drug offenses.

Going bananas over simple comfort food

By Camilla Saulsbury · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

We live in an age of high fashion food; hence, the commonplace banana has no more glamour than a nylon nightgown. But glamour can be exhausting, and slowing down to savor the familiar goodness of a banana is one of life's pleasures.
