Tourney chances still alive after OT win

·

It seemed all too familiar. By halftime of Saturday night's game against the Iowa Hawkeyes, the Hoosiers had secured a 15 point lead and headed into the locker room looking poised to grab a much needed win. But it would not be that simple. Iowa began the second half in attack mode and suddenly that 15 point lead dissipated into a 10 point lead … then a five point lead … then it was tied.

IU graduate student made DNA discovery 50 years ago

·

Even now it's hard to believe that a repeating pattern of four different molecules represented by the letters A, T, G and C could represent the key to life. Billions of times over the pattern repeats and changes, spiraling upward like a freestanding staircase.

Party patrols should be open

·

When I first asked to accompany the greek party patrol for a night, I got an interesting response. "You're not greek, are you?" I'm not, and that's one of the reasons why I'm interested in describing how greeks now police the greek system. My expectation was never to expose the party patrol as a sham. I didn't even expect to get dirt on the patrol. I just wanted some good background for a column.

It's beginning to look a lot like terror

·

My popularly-elected government leader George W. Bush thought it best, in his all-knowing Texas state-of-mind, to create a new government department that would keep me safe from terror and tuck me in at night, keeping the Osama nightmares away.

Sending the wrong message

·

Manhattanville senior Toni Smith turns her back to the American flag during the national anthem because she thinks America is bent on expanding its power. I disagree with her conclusions about why America may go to war in Iraq, but I can handle a difference of opinion.

·

Bloomington students have been at the mercy of landlords ever since the first student decided to live off-campus. Action, a ticket in Tuesday and Wednesday's IU Student Association election, hopes to make next year different.

Hogging the ball

·

This is the concept that places Toni Smith's brave and intriguing gesture in a more subtly-lit spot-light. We want to praise her for her courage, reminding us how great our freedom is -- the freedom to dissent and question authority. Still, we wonder about propriety.

Silently making lots of noise

·

Many of us would never have heard of Manhattanville, a tiny Division III college of 1,500, had Toni Smith's personal choice not made national news.

Audience witnesses angst in 'Youth'

·

This Is Our Youth" opened triumphantly Friday evening. The crowd, although small and older than would seem normal, squirmed through the adolescent angst right along with the characters.

'Vagina Monologues' raise awareness, inspire laughter

·

I came into this show with an open mind. At first, I expected, as a cynical male, that I would be grossed out, alienated and overall made to feel awkward by what I thought was going to be a vulgar celebration of women's genitalia.
