Angle gets title shot at 'No Mercy'

By Eric Talbot · Wednesday, Oct. 18,2000 1:49 a.m.

In a prelude to Sunday's pay-per-view, "No Mercy," and in front of a sold-out crowd at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Eddie Guerrero set the stage for "Monday Night Raw" by entering the ring first and bad-mouthing Chyna. Look for these two to stay broken up, as Guerrero will face Bad Ass Billy Gunn Sunday. You could even see Gunn with the Intercontinental Title come next Monday's Raw. Rikishi then gave an interview about Stone Cold Steve Austin. His feelings were hurt because The Rock did not appreciate him running over Austin to help launch his career. Later in the show when Austin came out to address the crowd, Rikishi came on the big screen.

By Ashley Keen · Wednesday, Oct. 18,2000 1:08 a.m.

Some people with disabilities spend their entire lives renting an apartment or sharing a group home. Less than 1 percent of people with disabilities own their own homes, as opposed to 66 percent of all Americans, according to the Indiana Institute on Disability and Community. The Back Home in Indiana Alliance, coordinated by IU's Indiana Institute on Disability and Community, is working to change that. And the program has received high marks for its efforts; the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) recently named it the "Best of the Best" in terms of housing programs.

The monolithic myths

By Alyson Brodsy and Mark A. Price · Wednesday, Oct. 18,2000 12:29 a.m.

Columbia City, Ind., has always prided itself on its Christmas decorations. Each year of my young life, I was shunted off to the Whitley County Courthouse on Christmas Eve to sit on Santa's lap and receive a bag of oranges and a bag of haystacks (those vanilla creamy things covered in chocolate). The line would be long because everyone did the same thing.

By Alyson Brodsy and Matt Csayni · Wednesday, Oct. 18,2000 12:27 a.m.

Recently I had the privilege of spending the evening with the fine, upstanding inmates of the Tippecanoe County Jail. Was I there on business, possibly for a story, you might ask? With a hearty laugh I respond no, I was not there merely to chat with the good people of Cell Block Seven.

By Martin Tsai · Wednesday, Oct. 18,2000 12:18 a.m.

"Who let the dogs out? Woof, woof, woof, woof." -- Baha Men, "Who Let the Dogs Out?" Who let the dogs out? Who wrote this stupid song? Why do the radio and television stations play it? Why does anyone like it? Why does this song get voted onto TRL? Why am I tempted to whack my television with a baseball bat whenever that video comes on?

Wednesday, Oct. 18,2000 12:14 a.m.

The Limestone Grille, 2920 E. Covenanter Drive is a hidden Bloomington treasure. Nestled behind the Kroger store on College Mall Road, most people never see this establishment and don't realize it even exists.

Fusing music with tradition

By Alexis Silas · Tuesday, Oct. 17,2000 7:08 p.m.

Total cacophony. That's the best way to describe the beginning of the Marching Hundred's Homecoming show rehearsal. The band's 290 members, crowded into a barely big enough room at the Creative Arts Center, chattered away while they tuned their instruments and looked over the music they'd just received for Saturday's halftime show. But the noise died down as director David C. Woodley approached the center of the room to make his announcements. People shushed their friends, and one girl snapped, "Shut up!"

By Mark A. Price · Tuesday, Oct. 17,2000 12:15 p.m.

I brought the questions home with me, and thought I'd answer a few:

With candidates like these, who needs presidents?

By Alex Hickey · Tuesday, Oct. 17,2000 2:56 a.m.

Four score and several years ago, our forefathers did a bunch of stuff that created a more perfect union, or something like that. But, albeit unbeknownst to them, they also set the wheels in motion for what could be our nation's greatest crisis since the XYZ Affair: the 2000 presidential election. (Sorry, I promise not to make anymore obscure historical references.)
