Humor is in the eye of the beholder

By Chris Edwards · Tuesday, Feb. 20,2001 12:08 a.m.

Every now and then, I get an e-mail or a letter from someone asking me how to be funny. "Chris," they say, "I'm just an ordinary schlep, girls don't like me and my friends all make fun of me. How can I be funny like you? What's the secret to writing a humor column?"

Scrutiny of national defense necessary

By Christina Jewett · Tuesday, Feb. 20,2001 12:02 a.m.

Missile defense, nuclear weapons and a $296 billion budget for 2001. Throw in the technology needed for biological warfare, and you have full proof that the U.S. military does not mess around. When Americans talk about national security, they mean it in every sense of the phrase.

IUPD offers officer training to students

By Matt Covele · Monday, Feb. 19,2001 11:51 p.m.

It seems everybody played cops and robbers as a child, holding a plastic gun and sprinting after a buddy while screaming, "Freeze! Police. Put up your hands!" To some students, these are memories better left in the past. For others, these games were the beginning of a career in law enforcement.

'Showboat' a painful experience

Monday, Feb. 19,2001 11:48 p.m.

Thursday evening, I missed "Survivor." For the first time, I'm not sure watching "Survivor" would have been the greater evil. I braved fog and rain to make the 60-minute drive to Bloomington to see "Show Boat." During the Chicago run several years ago, I attended no less than five performances. The show became one of my all-time favorites. Nothing but fond memories of "Show Boat."

By Eric Talbot · Monday, Feb. 19,2001 1:55 p.m.

After day one of the Big Ten Swimming and Diving championship, the Hoosiers are sitting in second place trailing only to Michigan. Eleven swimmers set personal records; five shattered school records. IU started the Big Ten meet at Counsilman Billingsley Aquatic Center by setting a school record in the 200-yard freestyle relay. A time of 1:31.07 was good enough to earn the Hoosiers first place, beating Michigan by nine-tenths of a second.

Jenn Cristy called it. The senior said she was going to block out the Olympic and All-American caliber athletes surrounding her. She did. She said she was going to swim the best she ever has this weekend. She was off to a good start Thursday night. "I know I'm going to wake up tomorrow and be like, 'Wait, it's Thursday, I have to do the 50,' because I feel like I'm dreaming right now." Cristy said.

Purdue center wins the battle in the paint

By Sarah Trotto · Monday, Feb. 19,2001 1:52 p.m.

WEST LAFAYETTE -- Whenever a lazy pass flew her way, she snatched it from the air. If a smaller opponent stood in her way of the basket, she stepped to the side and nailed a shot. In the eighth annual Barn Burner game, Purdue's Camille Cooper exposed IU's rebounding weaknesses and took advantage of the Hoosiers' early foul trouble. She scored 25 points and was named the game's most valuable player in the Boilermakers' (23-4, 13-1 Big Ten) blowout win 87-46.

IU dominates Michigan

By Sara Meinecke and Sarah Meinecke · Monday, Feb. 19,2001 1:06 a.m.

After Thursday night's 41-point loss at Purdue, coach Kathi Bennett said the team needs to play harder to get a win against Michigan. Sunday, the team did play harder, and squashed Michigan 73-51. "We were all focused," junior forward Erin McGinnis said. Not only did the Hoosiers (17-8, 8-6 Big Ten) halt a team that had won seven of its last eight Big Ten games, they also ended the optimism Michigan (16-10, 9-6 Big Ten) carried since upsetting No. 25 Iowa Thursday.

Theta Chi charter revoked

By Cory Schouten · Monday, Feb. 19,2001 12:57 a.m.

Theta Chi's national organization revoked the IU chapter's charter Friday because of a Jan. 27 party at the house. Alcohol was served at the party, a violation of the chapter's probation, said David Westol, executive director of Theta Chi fraternity. The party is also at the center of the IU Police Department's investigation into freshman Seth Korona's death. Korona, 19, died Feb. 4 from a skull fracture. University officials said they believe he suffered the fracture at the Jan. 27 party.
