Ask the Sexpert

By Jenny Finkel · Monday, April 2,2001 11:56 p.m.

Dear Sexpert, My partner and I have been enjoying ourselves a lot lately, and we have a very good sex life. We like sex a lot and I want to have it frequently, as does he, but I get sore after a few sexual encounters in a short period of time. I am lucky enough to have multiple orgasms nearly every time we have sex, but I want to increase the number of times we have sex. Is there any correlation between the soreness and the multiple orgasms? Is there anything I can do to not be sore, any exercise or technique? Is it bad to keep having sex if I'm sore?

By Nate Rau · Monday, April 2,2001 1:40 a.m.

For three and a half innings Saturday, Minnesota and IU engaged in a pitching dual between the Golden Gophers' Piper Marten and the Hoosiers' Alison Cooke, a junior. The game was scoreless heading into the Hoosiers' half of the fourth when a two-run home run by sophomore third baseman Stormy Hanson gave IU (11-22, 1-3) a 2-0 lead they would not relinquish.

Hoosiers continue to struggle

By Sarah Trotto · Monday, April 2,2001 1:39 a.m.

Freshman leftfielder Kevin Mahar entered the Hoosiers' lineup when freshman-slugger Brian Bucciarelli was sidelined with a broken right hand. Mahar's first assignment: Register hits and drive in runs against Big Ten-defending champions Minnesota. Mahar got the job done, going 6-for-14 with two doubles in four games against the Gophers. But his teammates weren't as successful as the Hoosiers lost three of four games to Minnesota at Sembower Field this weekend.

Hoosiers lose doubleheader

By Nate Rau · Monday, April 2,2001 1:36 a.m.

Coach Diane Stephenson has spent the entire season preaching to her team about the importance of intensity, claiming extra effort will be the determinant in whether the Hoosiers reach their goal of getting into the Big Ten tournament. But it was No. 23 Wisconsin (19-12, 2-0) that came out with the needed intensity Friday. The Badgers used a three-run first inning to propel themselves to a 5-4 win in the first game of the doubleheader at Softball Field. The Hoosiers lost the second game to the Badgers 2-0.

Team falls to Michigan

By Robert Mullally · Monday, April 2,2001 1:28 a.m.

The Indiana Invitational ended on a sour note for the water polo team, as the Hoosiers dropped another close battle with arch-rival Michigan 8-6 at Counsilman Billingsley Aquatic Center Sunday. The two-goal margin is the largest point differential between the two teams in four matches. The first contest between the two resulted in a tie, and the last two went to Michigan in overtime.

Team bested Big Ten rival

Monday, April 2,2001 1:26 a.m.

IU's 86-68 victory against Michigan in the NCAA championship game was the third time the Hoosiers bested the Wolverines that season. The teams first met in Ann Arbor January 10 where IU pulled out an 80-74 win. The second meeting in Assembly Hall Feb. 7 was a bit closer. Trailing by two with just seconds to go, center Kent Benson tipped-in an IU miss to send the game into overtime. The controversial play was disputed by the Michigan bench, as coach John Orr said he felt the tip occurred after the buzzer had sounded.

Hoosier legends recall stellar season

By Benjy Ekhaus · Monday, April 2,2001 1:25 a.m.

Tonight's NCAA national championship game marks the 25th anniversary of IU's undefeated season. Twenty-five years and teams have passed, but none of them duplicated the feat of that Hooiser squad. A perfect 32-0 season culminated March 29, 1976 with an 86-68 win against Michigan in the national championship game. After trailing by six at halftime, the Hoosiers dominated the second half, outscoring the Wolveriness 57-33.

Stephen King's new work bland

By Jason Gaddis · Monday, April 2,2001 12:47 a.m.

After a much-publicized accident, Stephen King's future in writing was doubtful. As he chronicled in his memoirs, "On Writing," even the simple act of sitting at a computer was painful. His first novel since the accident, the first draft of "Dreamcatcher" was written using a Warterman cartridge fountain pen.

'Bird Germs' inconsistent

By Gabriel Lewin · Monday, April 2,2001 12:44 a.m.

When one sees a production at the Bloomington Playwright's Project, 308 S. Washington St., it must always be viewed with a grain of salt. Performing in an adequate, although not equitable space, using effective, yet old lighting equipment and an off-center pole, nearly every production is a struggle usually resulting in brilliant work.

Boyd has the guts to say what we have been thinking

By Matt Rodewald · Sunday, April 1,2001 11:59 p.m.

I'm writing in response to James Boyd's brilliant column ("Fighting the evil Parking Operations power," March 28). I have been in class with him before, even seen him in the residence halls when I was still living there. He's not an angry or violent person. Just inventive.

Boyd should value a beautiful campus

By Mark Zalewski · Sunday, April 1,2001 11:57 p.m.
