Williams defeats obstacles, earns position

By Sara Meinecke and Sarah Meinecke · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Little League football said senior Levron Williams was too big to play running back. He was talented enough to play both offense and defense, but they would not let him carry the ball. "I was supposed to play running back the year I started to play, but they had a weight requirement I had to meet, and they said I was overweight," Williams, the Hoosiers starting running back, said. "I was kind of bigger than everyone else." Williams said his future as a running back began in middle school. "I just showed them I could run the ball and they let me play running back," he said.

Programs seek to alleviate stress

By Michelle Elsky · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Most people feel worried at some point in their lives. Sweaty palms, shaky hands and deep heart pounding are all symptoms of anxiety. Although nerve-wracking, those feelings can prepare people for stressful events, such as public speaking, a job interview or a big date. Nervousness makes people aware of their actions and makes them more alert. But when those feelings take over thoughts and actions, they can become a dangerous type of anxiety. Generalized Anxiety Disorder is a common anxiety disorder, most prominent among college students.

Transfer looking to improve guard play

By Nate Rau · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Experience will not be something the women's basketball team will be lacking this season. The team's top two returnees -- seniors Jill Chapman and Heather Cassady -- have started a combined 153 games in their college careers. What a luxury, then, that coach Kathi Bennett was able to add junior Kristen Bodine to her squad. Bodine, a transfer from Butler who sat out last season but practiced with the team, is penciled in to start at the point guard for the Hoosiers this season.

Armstrong wins 3rd straight Tour

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

About the time people here in America were waking up from a nice deep sleep Sunday morning, halfway across the globe, a fellow American was accomplishing something monumental. Lance Armstrong was crossing the finish line in the final stage of the Tour de France as the champion for the third year in a row -- the first time any American had ever accomplished such a feat. For those that aren't familiar, the Tour de France is like the Super Bowl of bicycling. It starts out with a time trial and then goes on for 20 consecutive stages before its conclusion. The race tours the French countryside, from the flats to the mountains, including some time spent in the Alps. The tour ends up in Paris, by the famed Champs-Elysees. For all the riders in the world, this is the event they train for during the year. It is actually more prestigious than an Olympic medal.

Some of the finest dining

By Gabriel Lewin · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

St. Valentine's Day -- that most precarious holiday in our popular culture -- approaches us this week. For those who will either partake in the festivities or hope to, there is a special ingredient to a perfect evening: a perfect meal. It is said that the way to a man's or woman's heart is through his or her stomach, and this holiday, one need not venture further than the streets of Bloomington to find a variety of bistros ready to cater to the most varied of palates.

After reading many opinions on the possible future of IU athletics, and how it will present itself to the world, I have taken it upon myself to give the esteemed officials of the president's office and the athletic department to research possible mascots with a Hoosier theme.

State plagued by obesity

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

Sixty-one percent of American adults are overweight or obese. As of 2001, Indiana has been ranked the 13th fattest state in the nation. Obesity is not simply a cosmetic problem; it is one of health and of economy. Excess weight can increase the risk of multiple health problems, including diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, sleep apnea, stroke and even some forms of cancer. The good news is that losing as little as 10 percent of your current weight can go a long way to aid in the prevention of these health problems. To this end, several organizations in Indiana have joined forces to slim down the 13th fattest state.

Embracing the Earth

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

Witches, magic and the popular movie "The Craft:" such are images that usually come to mind when one thinks of pagans. But the IU group Earth Religions wants to dispel those myths and educate people about what it really means to be pagan. Junior Jill Vance, public relations officer for Earth Religions, said the group was started about six years ago. At the beginning, it was a very loose organization, but about two years ago it became an established group on campus and began electing officers.

Defense falters again

By Sara Meinecke and Sarah Meinecke · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Familiarity is comforting, except when it's losing. And that's just what the Hoosiers did Saturday in Iowa City against the Hawkeyes. They lost 42-28, in an all too familiar fashion. A dominant offense, an invisible defense. The tone of the game was set a mere 1:45 seconds into the game when Iowa scored on a 75-yard touchdown run. The entire drive consisted of three plays, and from then out the Iowa offense scored on all but one possession in the first half.
