Bank One looks at returning to campus

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

A year after Bank One ATMs were kicked off campus by the University, four of the company's cash machines could return in the coming months -- at least one is expected to be in place in the fall. Representatives from Bank One, the University and the IU Student Association worked out some of the remaining issues during a conference call Friday. Student groups will draw up a "needs" proposal that addresses possible locations. The proposal will go to the University, then Bank One, and if terms are reached, ATMs will be installed in about 60 days, at a cost to Bank One of about $30,000 apiece. Locations that have been discussed include the Main Library, McNutt Quad, Ballantine Hall and the Indiana Memorial Union.

'Swordfish': throw it back

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

Personality is one key to unlocking a successful movie. Most action movies explode with unbelievable stunts, car chases and last-second heroics. A lack of realism hurts almost every action flick. But what separates a "Double Team" and a "Die Hard" is a good personality portrayed well by an actor like Bruce Willis. Imagine Jean Claude Van Damme saying "Yippe-kay-yay motherf****r." Not cool. This is successful when good writing, directing and casting all come together. It seemed the only thing "Swordfish" tried hard to do well was showing Halle Berry topless, which definitely did not hurt this movie.

Physical Plant prepares as cuts are under way

By Erin Meyer · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

State budget shortfalls may force IU administrators to significantly adjust the University budget, but measures to cut costs are already under way. "An important aspect of all this is funding for academic programs as well as staff and faculty funding," Rep. Mark Kruzan, D-Bloomington said. "I am extremely concerned about the impact of state spending cuts on that aspect of the University."

IU should cut from the top

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

In an unprecedented television address last night, Gov. Frank O'Bannon outlined a drastic plan to save the state from financial ruin. Among other things, he called for legislators to tap rainy-day funds and tobacco settlement money, to increase taxes on cigarettes and to decrease spending at government agencies across the state.

Allow pilots to be armed

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

The typical box cutter is usually not an intimidating object. It is usually a plastic container with a thin strip of metal cut into individual blades. Movers use them. Artists use them. Store employees use them when shipments come in. But they were used to threaten, injure or kill airline employees aboard the planes that crashed on Sept. 11. And none of the victims had access to anything that would be a formidable defense against the instrument of their demise.

Fog inundates Bloomington

By Michael Tapscott and Mike Tapscott · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

It's a modern phenomenon in America to want to categorize everything. All things must have their own specific niche, whether it is for marketing purposes or just for our own state of mind. Those things that go against traditions or blend trends beyond easy recognition must be forced to go it alone.

Mixing substances dangerous

By Katherine Helmke and Kathryn Helmke · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

It is hard to profile the typical drug user. Rebellious people are more apt to try illicit drugs, along with gregarious, fun-loving individuals said Dee Owens, director of IU's Alcohol Drug Information Center. "There are certain personality traits that make people more likely to decide to try something that might seem scary to the rest of us," Owens said.

FLAWLESS

Free speech does prevail

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

Last week, after a long legal battle and a controversy that divided the campus, the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform and IU Students for Life finally brought the Genocide Awareness Project to campus. Set up near the Sample Gates, the GAP display featured large photographs of aborted fetuses alongside images of the Holocaust and racial lynchings from America's past -- images that the people behind GAP wanted to equate with abortion.

Smile, you're on my camera

By Joe Grace · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

I went home to Evansville last weekend to attend the wedding of two friends I went to high school with. It was a very nice wedding overall. But my favorite part is when you get to throw rice at the bride and groom as they're leaving the church. I never take the rice out of the little bag before I throw it directly at the groom. I do this because I'm kind. I know how much of a mess it is to get rice out of the hair. The reception was a lot of fun, too. I even got to be the kind of, sort of, semi-official video camera guy for the first half of it because the guy who was supposed to do it mysteriously disappeared. I blame the dingoes. These are a few of the things I learned while holding the camera: For some strange reason, people don't like it when you film them eating. Especially if they're sinking their teeth into a big piece of juicy fried chicken and you zoom in on the grease floating down their cheek. And then you comment to them how disgusting this looks on videotape. They really hate that. I just don't get it. No matter how cool you may think it will look on screen, putting the camera directly in the way of a cork about to be popped from a champagne bottle is a very bad idea. Trust me on this.

Using RecSports facilities -- including the School of Health, Physical Education and Recreation and the Student Recreational Sports Center -- is a privilege for students and should be paid for, especially during the summer sessions.

McVeigh put to death

By Joseph S. Pete · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

TERRE HAUTE -- At about 7:20 a.m. today, Timothy McVeigh will taste rubber. His body will tingle with a cool sensation. Then he'll sputter and draw his last gasp of air. McVeigh, convicted of bombing the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City in a 1995 blast that killed 168 people and injured hundreds more, will be the first person executed by the federal government in 38 years.

The difference of 1 year

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

Almost a year ago to the date, some students on the Bloomington campus were caught up in violent protests and destruction because Bob Knight had been fired. At the time, I thought how lucky my son was that our country was at peace with the world and that he did not have to protest against a war or other horrible acts -- only against a fired basketball coach.
