'Echoes of Blue'

By Alyson Brodsy and Tara Burghart · Wednesday, April 23,2003 2:01 a.m.

NEW YORK -- The painting is beautiful to see -- an orange-striped curtain hangs from a wood pole above a shimmering ocean -- but the title "Separation" hints at another meaning. The curtain painted by Shahla Etemadi represents those put up in Caspian Sea swimming spots in Iran after the 1979 Islamic Revolution to keep men and women separate. The painting is a part of "Echoes in Blue," an exhibition of contemporary Iranian artists on view through April 29 at The National Arts Club.

'Aces' wild as IU splits series with Evansville

By Dan Patrick · Wednesday, April 23,2003 2 a.m.

After IU took a hard-fought 3-2 defeat in the first game, the Aces were high throughout the second contest. The Evansville Aces, that is. Evansville scored eight runs out of 14 hits and played flawless defense by amassing no errors and not allowing a single crimson jersey across home plate. After such a fall-off, IU was not happy with its game. "It's almost embarrassing for us to play as flat as we do at times, and to not execute, and do some of the things that we do for other games or when we're playing other teams," coach Sara Hayes said. "We're going to continue to fight, and hopefully we'll bring what we had in the first game to the games we have left."

By Alyson Brodsy and Edith M. Lederer · Wednesday, April 23,2003 1:59 a.m.

UNITED NATIONS -- After staunchly opposing the U.S.-led war against Saddam Hussein, France made a surprise proposal Tuesday to meet the United States halfway by calling for the immediate suspension of crippling economic sanctions on Iraq. U.S. Ambassador John Negroponte stuck by President Bush's demand that because of "the dramatically changed circumstances within Iraq," sanctions should be lifted entirely -- not just suspended. "We now need to work with France and other countries to see how best that can be achieved and how quickly."

Biking in Bloomington isn't restricted to only Little 500 riders. You don't need a team, an interesting name or experience to join the IU Cycling Club. "We offer an alternative to riders other than Little 5," said club president senior Jason Mount. "The club gives riders race experience and a way to improve yourself and your fitness levels. It also gives you the chance to meet other people that ride and that's always a plus."
