What about the Iraqis?

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, April 15,2003 12:46 a.m.

Dear Ms. Lombardi: I find your guest column "Support Our Troops," which appeared in the IDS on April 8, 2003, to be extremely troubling for several reasons. Not only do you make false claims, but you show a shameless and short-sighted nationalism in failing to even mention the suffering of the Iraqi people.

Why Little 5 matters

By Drew Buser · Tuesday, April 15,2003 12:45 a.m.

In less than two weeks, the men's and women's Little 500 races will finally take place. During the last few months, the same question has been asked by practically every non-rider on campus: How can those crazies ride bikes in 20 degree weather? After riding last year, I can answer this question.

Vast right-hand conspiracy

By Alyson Brodsy and Tony Sams · Tuesday, April 15,2003 12:44 a.m.

I'm trying, with some success, to learn to write with my left hand. It's difficult; I won't lie to you. And that is difficult to say, because, through no fault of my own, I'm male. We men have a bad track record of admitting we're having trouble doing something ("No, I'm not lost; I know where we're going," "No, don't call the plumber, it's just a little leak," "No, I can make the baby myself.")

'The Boy Next Door' a charming date

By Britany Ausmus and Brittany Ausmus · Tuesday, April 15,2003 12:31 a.m.

Gentlemen, you may stop reading this now. I don't want to waste any of your time, and I honestly would be shocked to see a man read "The Boy Next Door," a delightfully campy trip through the mind of a single gossip columnist and her quest to find love in the big city with, you guessed it, the boy next door. A book written by a woman for women, it is an extraordinary example of Meggin Cabot's ability to write a novel in an unusual format and still keep the reader wildly entertained. "The Boy Next Door" is Cabot's first attempt at an adult novel; she is best known for writing the "Princess Diaries" series under the nom de plum Meg Cabot.

Tough seventh seals 2-2 split with Spartans

By Ryan J. Cost · Monday, April 14,2003 2:11 a.m.

The Hoosier baseball team entered this weekend's four-game set with one goal in mind. They wanted to take at least three of four games from Michigan State and gain some ground in the Big Ten standings. Instead, IU split the home series with the Big Ten bottom-dwelling Spartans and are now tied with Ohio State for second in the conference with Illinois and Purdue looming just one game back. The Hoosiers now stand at 22-9 overall and 7-5 in the Big Ten, four games back of Big Ten leader Minnesota, which still owns an unblemished conference mark of 10-0.
