By Roseanne Hennessey · Thursday, Sept. 5,2002 11:38 p.m.

The message behind Sunni M. Fass's upcoming exhibition is that successful communication requires a shared knowledge of culture, and this shared knowledge comes from an understanding of nonverbal communication in the forms of dress and adornment.

Freshman making most of opportunity

By Tyler V. Hoeppner · Thursday, Sept. 5,2002 2:47 a.m.

In last Saturday's game, freshman John Pannozzo did something that hasn't been done at IU since 1999. Pannozzo hauled in two touchdown passes from senior Tommy Jones becoming the first IU player since Jerry Dorsey to catch two touchdowns in a game. The first touchdown gave IU its first lead of the game -- one they would not relinquish. The second touchdown was equally as important because provided needed insurance since William and Mary was driving for the tying touchdown. Seems like an impressive feat until you talk with Pannozzo.

Cry for us, Argentina wins

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, Sept. 5,2002 2:41 a.m.

Argentina pulled off a victory that until recently seemed nearly impossible, beating the United States 87-80 Wednesday night in the World Championships. It was the first loss for a U.S. team in 59 games since the Americans began sending NBA players to international tournaments in 1992. The defeat did not knock the U.S. team out of the tournament, but gave them a lower seed for the medal round where the nations could meet again. "We'll be back to win the gold," defiant guard Baron Davis said.

A Train runs through it

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, Sept. 5,2002 2:41 a.m.

Indianapolis down to Bargersville. Morgantown south to Helmsburg. Across the Shuffle Creek trestle, then eight and a half miles to the north yard limit. The whistle blows, and Bloomington know it's here. Trains roll north and south through Bloomington every day, hauling Indiana coal to power plants, sugar and liquid sweetener for Hershey Chocolate, scrap metal for Chrysler and refrigerators for General Electric. Five days a week, trains go from Indianapolis to Bloomington and back. At most, there are about six train movements a day. Students can hear many of them loud and clear -- even at the wee hours of the morning -- because of the whistle that blows for several minutes to announce its arrival.

Bush to seek approval before taking action

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, Sept. 5,2002 2:38 a.m.

WASHINGTON -- President Bush, opening a public-relations offensive against Saddam Hussein, pledged Wednesday to seek congressional approval before taking action against the Iraqi leader and warned wary allies their "credibility is at stake" as they decide whether to back the United States. The president will argue his case before the United Nations General Assembly next week after a weekend huddle at Camp David with British Prime Minister Tony Blair, virtually alone among overseas leaders in supporting Bush's intent to see Saddam overthrown.

DENVER -- Holding the just-released 18-page file that had been secretly compiled on her by police, activist Barbara Cohen smiled and shrugged her shoulders. "Don't I look like a dangerous criminal?" asked the barely 5-foot tall, 53-year-old gray-haired legal secretary.

Teenage girls listen to mom

By Alyson Brodsy and Laura Meckler · Thursday, Sept. 5,2002 2:37 a.m.

WASHINGTON -- Mothers worried that their daughters are having sex have more influence than they might imagine. Teenage girls who are close to their moms are more likely to stay virgins, researchers reported Wednesday. The key for parents, experts say, is not just talking about sex, but being deeply involved in their children's lives.

By Ira Klapper · Thursday, Sept. 5,2002 2:33 a.m.

This season the women's soccer team is sporting new shades of cream and crimson on their jerseys. They also have a Purple Ace on the sideline.

Lyon spent nine seasons coaching the Purple Aces and has knowledge and experience coaching in the Hoosier state, winning six consecutive Missouri Valley Conference titles since 1996. In that same time period the Hoosiers have only mustered one Big Ten title.

After a 15-year wait, the Hurricanes and Gators resume their regular-season rivalry at The Swamp on Saturday with more than a national championship run riding on the outcome.

Fans come out when team starts winning

By Alyson Brodsy and Greg Beacham · Thursday, Sept. 5,2002 2:27 a.m.

As Steve Schott surveyed the steady stream of people crowding into the Coliseum before Wednesday night's game, he finally discovered the solution to the Oakland Athletics' perpetual lack of fan support. "I guess if we win 19 in a row every time, everybody will come out to support us," the A's owner said with a grin.
