Volleyball team battles inconsistency for win

By Jason Recker · Monday, Oct. 30,2000 1:03 a.m.

It might just be that the volleyball team suffers from a slight personality disorder. Friday, the sluggish, uninspired version poked its head into University Gym. A mere 24 hours later, IU's energized, upbeat twin rumbled in.

Soccer team ends season with victory over Wildcats

By Ryan Gunterman · Monday, Oct. 30,2000 12:58 a.m.

The women's soccer team had not scored a goal in the last seven games before Sunday's match against Kentucky, when the Hoosiers scored three in the first half. Those three goals would be all the Hoosiers needed to dismantle the Wildcats 3-1. Junior midfielder Stacey Peterson wasted no time ending the Hoosiers' scoreless run when she put a shot in the bottom right corner of the net on a feed from sophomore forward Kate Kastl, just 9:32 into the game.

Hoosiers suffer another 4th quarter loss

By Dan Cortez · Monday, Oct. 30,2000 12:49 a.m.

INDIANAPOLIS -- In four years, he has done a lot of things. He brought in his own players and coaches. He installed a high-powered offense with a talented quarterback. He was able to move a home game to Indianapolis. But coach Cam Cameron hasn't been able to teach his team one crucial aspect of football.

IUSA working to help students

By Amanda Thompson · Monday, Oct. 30,2000 12:11 a.m.

In response to your staff editorial, "Tax-free books lofty goal for IUSA" (Oct. 19), I believe that the goal is not lofty, but realistic, and Legislative Relations Office Director Ben Piper should be applauded for his efforts.

Some decisions readers shouldn't have to make

By Brian Knowlton · Monday, Oct. 30,2000 12:06 a.m.

As an IU journalism school graduate, and as a working journalist, may I comment on the Oct. 17 column by your ombudsman, Brian Hartz? What Hartz calls "one of the dirty little secrets of journalism" -- that journalists sometimes receive "perks" ranging from free movie passes to free trips -- is not exactly new. I remember heated debates years ago at the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette on whether it was "ethical" for our sports writers to get free passes to hockey games (this was not too long after Watergate, when many of us eager young journalists were wearing tan corduroy jackets with leather elbow patches in imitation of Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein of The Washington Post). I do not see the smaller, often innocent, perks as life-or-death matters, so long as the giver does not feel that something is owed in return, and as long as the receiver does not feel indebted. A cup of coffee or a movie pass would fit in this category.

Sound bites are only way to get coverage

By Nate Wolf · Monday, Oct. 30,2000 12:03 a.m.

After reading Duncan Teater's column "To Green or not to Green" (Oct. 23), I wonder if he knows anything at all about politics, elections or the media. First, he assumes in his column, which was just one big scare tactic, that Bush is a conservative, pro-lifer, isolationist. Bush is not an isolationist; that is absurd! Bush's Web site states his foreign policy goals would be, "accomplished by concentrating on enduring national interests and by resisting the temptation to withdraw from the world."

Halloween loses magic at college

By Chris Edwards · Monday, Oct. 30,2000 12:02 a.m.

Halloween has always been my favorite holiday. As a kid, I especially liked it, maybe because it was the one season when the neighbors didn't complain about the decorations we left in the front yard all year.

A riff on the 'Bloody Eighth'

By Duncan Teater · Sunday, Oct. 29,2000 11:54 p.m.

And now I present to you: A Riff on the Bloody Eighth. Because really, not much is happening on the national scene, except that Al Gore is desperately trying to hire some mafia types to "put the freeze" on Ralph Nader; George W. Bush is basking in the sun lamp he takes with him to Northern Michigan; and the polls continue to tell us nothing of substance about the race.

Frightful night raises funds

By Nicholas Legan · Sunday, Oct. 29,2000 11:48 p.m.

Screams of terror, eerie music and the sounds of chainsaws filled the chilly night air this weekend. And many people paid for the frights. Delta Chi's haunted house drew big crowds all weekend, and with good cause.

Wednesday, the University Club hosted Aufder-Heyde, known as Finney, to speak about her experience.
