'Special Victims Unit' violates laws of predictability
Asian Superstars
Sitting around a table at Bears' Place, sipping on a Newcastle and joking away the time, the five men who are OlO show off the new shirts they will use for the recording of their first music video, the song "Red Man Go On." The shirts are blank except for the numbers 010 on the back. The shirts are all various colors, and the band members fight over which color each will wear for the video, which will be filmed in Brown County and Chicago. The video will air in Japan to support the album OlOrizedcoloralbum.

DJ keeps bodies moving
Thumping music, flashing lights and clouds of smoke fill the dance floor as clubgoers dance the night away. Junior Scott Jacobson stands tall behind his DJ tables as his brown eyes gleam.

I must say this winter break enlightened me to a plethora of American legal proceedings that left me both intrigued and bewildered. Thursday, Dec. 14, I was set to leave for home.

It's a neighborhood of wooden fences and pastel homes on Second Street near campus. A neighborhood of oak trees and spacious lawns. Restful. Not for much longer.

Evansville granted Doppler radar
After a year of stormy debate, Congress approved a $5.5 million grant for a permanent Doppler radar facility to keep track of the weather in southwestern Indiana and adjacent areas in Kentucky and Illinois. But not everyone is excited. The closing of several radar facilities in 1996 left a hole in the weather coverage because the entire area is covered by one weather service in Paducah, Ky.
