She described her culture shock when she moved from the East Coast where the feminist movement had already taken place, to the South where women didn't go out without having a date.

Is IU a politically correct campus?

By Christina Galoozis · Wednesday, Nov. 12,2003 1:10 a.m.

Intellectual diversity may be at stake on college campuses across the nation, panelists told a Senate Committee last month. The panel said there was a "broad threat to the free exchange of ideas at colleges," according to an article in the Chronicle of Higher Education. Panelists cited examples such as the disinviting of politically incorrect speakers, politicized instruction by faculty members and one-sided teach-ins. Members of the IU community have strong opinions as to whether IU is following the trend of decreasing intellectual diversity.

By Colin Nowling · Wednesday, Nov. 12,2003 1:06 a.m.

Respect. If there is one thing Penn State football coach Joe Paterno deserves, it is just that. Sadly enough though, the coach who has given his life to Penn State football (54 seasons to be exact) is now being turned upon by fans and media, primarily local, in an effort to oust the 76-year old.

Distances put IU at advantage

By Alex Witteveld · Wednesday, Nov. 12,2003 12:52 a.m.

The NCAA regional and national meets are the only two left for the No. 11 men's cross country team this year. Heading into these meets, the Hoosiers believe they have a distinct advantage over the other competitors, an advantage they have not had yet this year. All of the races this year have been at the 8K distance, but the last two have been bumped up to 10K. Because of the type of training that the team does, they believe the increase in distance can only help them. "I feel it is an advantage for us over other teams, since our training is more mileage and aerobic oriented and strength oriented versus speed or anaerobic oriented," IU coach Robert Chapman said. "I think that training also gives us a psychological edge. Some teams are worried about hanging on for another 2K, while we embrace the extra distance."

Libertarians oppose seat belt checkpoints

By Katie Killebrew · Wednesday, Nov. 12,2003 12:52 a.m.

Monroe County residents won't have to worry about extra seat belt checkpoints this year, and that's welcome news for local Libertarians. Last month, the Monroe County council voted against accepting the $23,500 in-state and federal grant money that would have funded the officers. Each year since 1980, the Indiana Governor's Council has donated funds to each Indiana county to crack down on Hoosiers driving without seat belts. The Monroe County Council proposed using their funds in a law enforcing police to conduct checkpoints around Indiana and to pull over those suspected of driving without a seat belt.
