NCAA game finally catches up to pros

By Alex Hickey · Wednesday, Sept. 18,2002 8:53 p.m.

From the Sega Genesis to the present, every college football game that has ever been released has been vastly eclipsed by the large shadow of the sweetness that is the "Madden" series of NFL games. Finally, a college game has been released that brings the genre closer to the uber-game status reserved for such titles as "Madden," "NHL Hockey" and "Excitebike."

Taylor's band doesn't hit sour note

By By Jonathan Sanders and Jonathan Sanders · Wednesday, Sept. 18,2002 8:50 p.m.

With Stone Sour's self-titled album, we find Corey Taylor of Slipknot delving into the "lighter" music he can't play with his current band. But Stone Sour actually came first, so he's going back to a style of music that he's obviously comfortable with. This music is a hell of a lot more melodic than his music with Slipknot, but it has just as much power and thrust behind it as anything he's released.

Jazzy, funky grooves from Redman

By Seth Forster · Wednesday, Sept. 18,2002 8:49 p.m.

One of the biggest names in jazz saxophone in past decade, Joshua Redman continues to stretch himself out as a player by sliding a variety of styles into the mix with his characteristic sound. Perhaps that's why his latest effort, with drummer Brian Blade and organist Sam Yahel, is titled Elastic. This time the destination seems to be a mix of modern jazz production with funky grooves.

Plainness plagues Adams' 'Demolition'

By Michael Tapscott · Wednesday, Sept. 18,2002 8:48 p.m.

Ryan Adams has officially attained rock-star status. He's hanging out with Elton John, dating Winona Ryder and Bono is singing his songs on VH1. You can argue until the chickens come home to roost about whether or not he deserves the acclaim, but his talent is undeniable, no matter how nefarious his public presentation becomes.

Rapper 'Eve-Olves' as an artist

By K James Sward · Wednesday, Sept. 18,2002 8:47 p.m.

With her follow-up to last year's Scorpion, Eve Jeffers brings style and grace to the rap genre with witty lyrics and hot collaborations, proving once again she is a force to be reckoned with. In Eve-Olution, Eve speaks her mind in a blunt, yet tasteful, manner, proving that controversy isn't necessary in order to sell rap.

'Largo' too inconsistent

By Mark Lee · Wednesday, Sept. 18,2002 8:47 p.m.

What we have here is a headline musician whose band is noticeably better than he is. The thing is, you have to give Mehldau an 'A' for effort in this offering, but he just comes up short of creating the jazz masterpiece he was looking to bestow upon the world.

Beck finally gets his act together

By Michael Tapscott · Wednesday, Sept. 18,2002 8:46 p.m.

Beck Hansen's last effort, 1999's Midnite Vultures, was a druggy mess of an album. It showed an artist in absolute limbo with his creative direction. Coming off such an anomaly, there was nowhere to go but up, and Beck went way up. Sea Change is the best album that he has ever made.

DiFranco delivers her soul on latest

By K James Sward · Wednesday, Sept. 18,2002 8:45 p.m.

I hope those seasoned Ani DiFranco aficionados out there will forgive the fact that I was only recently turned on to this guitar-strumming righteous babe's music by a friend. Since hearing the content of nearly all of her previous albums just last year, I find myself constantly thirsty for new material that's chocked full of emotionally profound messages and bold statements. So Much Shouting, So Much Laughter definitely delivers this and more.

Geting into mixing music

By Natalie A. Trout · Wednesday, Sept. 18,2002 8:44 p.m.

With a bottle of Crystal in one hand, his girlfriend by his side and thousands of people cheering for him, Mike Love knew he was living his dream. It was last New Year's Eve when Love, known to most as DJ Quikmix, realized that everything he had worked so hard for was finally staring him in the face. His family has pictures of him holding a mic when he was only three. His father was in a band, so having equipment to play music with was never a problem. Love was in the sixth grade when he threw his first party.

It's Friday night in Bloomington and the guys of Run of the Mill are just getting ready to rehearse for their upcoming CD release party. After only nine months, the band has come a long way from late-night discussions about coulda, shoulda and woulda in the dorm rooms of keyboardist Ryan Bruick, 22, and frontman Chris Isom, 21.

At a Wednesday afternoon press conference near Salt Creek, investigators said they are consulting with the IU Geological Department and with crews on site about the possibility of using radar to find Behrman, who disappeared while riding her bike in May of 2000.

IUPD investigating reported date rape

By Alyson Brodsy · Wednesday, Sept. 18,2002 7:29 p.m.

IU Police Department is investigating a report of rape in Forest Quad last week. A female IU student told police she was raped by someone she knew Sept. 11. She reported the crime to police Sunday. "It was acquaintance rape," Detective Tim Lewis said. "The person was known to the victim, and we're still investigating." Police said the rape occurred in the victim's room on the afternoon of Sept. 11. Police have made no arrests, but since the victim did know her attacker, the police do have a suspect. Lewis warns about the dangers of acquaintance rape.

Center prepared for virus

By Alyson Brodsy · Wednesday, Sept. 18,2002 2:02 a.m.

There's sure a lot of fuss over a mosquito. As the West Nile Virus continues to spread nationwide, some IU students are worried that what was a harmless mosquito bite, could become deadly. In Indiana, 57 people are inflicted with the disease; two people have died. The fatality rate from infection ranges from three to 15 percent. One in 150 cases results in severe neurological disease, occurring mostly with the elderly, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Web site.

'Vote Hard' stalls out

By Alyson Brodsy · Wednesday, Sept. 18,2002 2:02 a.m.

The $50,000 Corvette bought by the IU Student Association to entice Bloomington students to vote in November's election is now the top prize of a University-wide raffle. Student Body President Bill Gray said Tuesday that students now aren't required to vote to enter the contest to win the cream and crimson sports car. The decision comes as legal experts and an Indiana election officer question whether Project Vote Hard breaks federal election law, which prohibits anyone from knowingly paying, offering to pay or accepting payment for registering to vote or voting.

Inner-conflict disturbs some Catholic clergy

By Alyson Brodsy · Wednesday, Sept. 18,2002 2:02 a.m.

Rudolph Kos. Gilbert Gauthe. James Porter. Paul Shanley. John J. Geoghan. Ronald H. Paquin. The list goes on. Their commonalities? All were accused of sexually abusing minors. And all were priests within the Catholic faith. The diagnosis to the ailment that seems to be plaguing America's Catholic churches varies as some say immaturity among priests is the problem. Others say homosexuality is too prevalent among the leaders of the faith. And while some say it's a direct result of these men having fallen victim to molestation as minors themselves (those in the list above were said to have been sexually abused as minors), one thing is for certain -- these acts against youths have had lasting effects.

U.N. Security Council discusses Iraq timetable

By Alyson Brodsy · Wednesday, Sept. 18,2002 2:02 a.m.

UNITED NATIONS -- The U.N. Security Council met Tuesday to discuss Iraq, a day after Baghdad offered to admit U.N. weapons inspectors without conditions -- a concession made under the threat of U.S. military action and pressure from Arab states. The chief U.N. weapons inspector, Hans Blix, was to meet later Tuesday with Iraqi officials to discuss "practical arrangements" for the return of international weapons inspectors to Baghdad, U.N. spokesman Fred Eckhard announced.

Donation with a catch

By Alyson Brodsy · Wednesday, Sept. 18,2002 1:52 a.m.

IU graduate and Cisco System's CEO John Chambers recently donated $1 million to the Kelley School of Business. The money comes with a catch: Create an innovative program for its students that puts MBA students side by side with a start-up company's highest executives. "This is absolutely revolutionary," said Dan Dalton, the Kelley School's dean. "There is no other institute we know of with a comparable program." The new program allows students to work with emerging entrepreneurial companies during its earliest stages.
