Austin-based Spoon brings experimental rock to Bloomington

By Adam Aasen · Wednesday, March 26,2003 3:25 p.m.

Jim Eno seemed like a normal guy around the office. His co-workers at Advanced Micro Devices, a computing company in Austin, Texas, brushed off his band Spoon, which he drummed for, as a hobbie. Despite the fact that Spoon's recent release Kill the Moonlight, was put on the best albums of 2002 lists for magazines such as Spin, Rolling Stone, Blender and GQ, his fellow employees saw Eno as a talented guy who just took off work to follow a dream, one they were unsure if he would achieve.

Coach goes for 1,000th win today

By Ryan Cost and Ryan J. Cost · Wednesday, March 26,2003 1:03 a.m.

IU coach Bob Morgan nabbed win 999 of his career on Tuesday as his Hoosiers continued their early season success with a 4-3 comeback win over Saginaw Valley State at soggy Sembower Field. Sophomore Corby Heckman double plated senior outfielder Mark Calkins in the bottom of the ninth to give IU the victory.Earlier in the inning, it was Calkins who tied the game at three with an RBI double of his own. Heckman has begun the 2003 season on an absolute tear. He was batting .396 coming into the game and then proceeded to go 3-5 with two RBIs including the game-winner. "The pitcher was up 0-2 and he hung a slider," Heckman said. "I was looking for it and I got lucky."

Indiana Marine killed in Iraq

Wednesday, March 26,2003 1 a.m.

A Marine from northern Indiana who was killed in what the Pentagon described as an Iraqi ambush knew going into the war that he and other Americans troops could face such tactics, his father said Tuesday. U.S. officials say Lance Cpl. David Fribley was among nine Marines killed Sunday when an Iraqi unit indicated it was giving up, then opened fire when the Marines approached near An Nasiriyah, about 230 miles southwest of Baghdad. "We had talked about this long before this started that something like this might happen," Garry Fribley said from the family's home in Atwood, just outside Warsaw. "That's part of war. People better wake up. There are no rules in war ... It's time to take the gloves off. We're so intent on being the nice guys, and they (Iraqi soldiers) are not going to abide by anything. That's what happened to us in Vietnam.
