By Cory Schouten · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

A hazardous materials crew removed a powdery white substance from two IU dormitory bathrooms Tuesday morning. The Bloomington Township Fire Department hazardous materials team took every precaution in case the substance is anthrax. In the coming days, tests will reveal the nature of the substance, officials said. "With all the stuff going on now, you have to take every one serious," said Bloomington Township Fire Chief Faron Livingston. "The minute you drop your guard, that's when you get burned."

She ran head-on into a van driven by Martinsville resident Tom Reel, who was travelling with two of his children and family friend Richard Miller.

Injuries don't slow Hoosiers in win

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

INDIANAPOLIS - The ankle survived, and the back held up. Jared Jeffries and Tom Coverdale, who both spent practice time on the sidelines this week with injuries, each played at least 32 minutes and paced No. 21 and fourth-seeded IU in its 67-56 win over fifth-seeded Michigan State in the quarterfinal round of the Big Ten Tournament at Conseco Fieldhouse. Jeffries, who has endured an ankle sprain over the last six games, scored 14 points and grabbed five rebounds. Coverdale, who began suffering from back spasms late last month, scored 11 points, had seven assists and four steals. "My back got kind of sore, but it's nothing that's going to keep me out of any games," Coverdale said. Coverdale wore a back brace during practice this week, but didn't use it Friday. Jeffries played on a heavily taped ankle, then wrapped it in ice immediately after the game. "It feels a lot better than it did the first time we played," Jeffries said. "They key is for me to keep ice on it and keep going for this three-day stretch." Both Coverdale and Jeffries are expected to play tomorrow, but Coverdale indicated he might have injured his left hand during the first half. The junior guard said he planned to get X-rays, but those came back negative.

SACRAMENTO -- Sophomore A.J. Moye was shouting. Senior Dane Fife was joking about how close his college career came to ending. And junior Kyle Hornsby was talking about how good it feels to be going where no IU team has been since 1994. The Hoosiers are going to play in the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament, and an excited locker room after a 76-67 win Saturday night against North Carolina-Wilmington couldn't contain its excitement.

Cassady heads to the Big Apple

By Katie Schoenbaechler and Katie Shoenbaechler · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

After one of the most successful years that the IU women's basketball team has had in recent history, senior Heather Cassady was supposed to hang up her sneakers at the end of her career as a Hoosier. But fans haven't heard the last of Cassady, who hopped on a plane for New York City late last week to participate in the New York Liberty's training camp. "We are just obviously proud as parents and family," Cassady's father, Pat, said. "Heather is just thrilled, but nervous, ready and looking forward to it." The 5'7" point guard who helped lead the team to a Big Ten Championship Tournament win and the first round of the NCAA tournament is now setting her sights on the future, which could hold a career in the WNBA.

Knight's story to be released today

By Cory Schouten · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

The fact that Bob Knight's new book will be released today, the week of the Final Four, is not surprising. After all, Knight is college basketball's most infamous coach, and the Final Four is its most exciting moment. What is surprising is that the team Knight once coached is back in the Final Four, on the shoulders of new coach Mike Davis. Whether the resurgence of IU basketball will rekindle interest in the program's past -- and Knight's book -- is yet to be seen.

March results in success and failure

By Rachel Kipp · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Marching through the IU campus, a group of about 400 people used Martin Luther King Jr. Day of 1997 as a time to call for action and social change. As other students sat in class, this group protested in a way not seen on the Bloomington campus since the 1960s and 1970s. As the sun shone overhead and snow slowly melted on the streets and grass, more than 400 people marched to voice concerns about the state of diversity on the IU campus.
