IU should cut from the top

Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

In an unprecedented television address last night, Gov. Frank O'Bannon outlined a drastic plan to save the state from financial ruin. Among other things, he called for legislators to tap rainy-day funds and tobacco settlement money, to increase taxes on cigarettes and to decrease spending at government agencies across the state.

Allow pilots to be armed

By Brian Longly · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

The typical box cutter is usually not an intimidating object. It is usually a plastic container with a thin strip of metal cut into individual blades. Movers use them. Artists use them. Store employees use them when shipments come in. But they were used to threaten, injure or kill airline employees aboard the planes that crashed on Sept. 11. And none of the victims had access to anything that would be a formidable defense against the instrument of their demise.

Fog inundates Bloomington

By Michael Tapscott and Mike Tapscott · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

It's a modern phenomenon in America to want to categorize everything. All things must have their own specific niche, whether it is for marketing purposes or just for our own state of mind. Those things that go against traditions or blend trends beyond easy recognition must be forced to go it alone.

Mixing substances dangerous

By Katherine Helmke and Kathryn Helmke · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

It is hard to profile the typical drug user. Rebellious people are more apt to try illicit drugs, along with gregarious, fun-loving individuals said Dee Owens, director of IU's Alcohol Drug Information Center. "There are certain personality traits that make people more likely to decide to try something that might seem scary to the rest of us," Owens said.

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

SAN ANTONIO - Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma knew what he was talking about three months ago when he said Oklahoma would be a tough team in March.

Free speech does prevail

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Last week, after a long legal battle and a controversy that divided the campus, the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform and IU Students for Life finally brought the Genocide Awareness Project to campus. Set up near the Sample Gates, the GAP display featured large photographs of aborted fetuses alongside images of the Holocaust and racial lynchings from America's past -- images that the people behind GAP wanted to equate with abortion.

Smile, you're on my camera

By Joe Grace · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

I went home to Evansville last weekend to attend the wedding of two friends I went to high school with. It was a very nice wedding overall. But my favorite part is when you get to throw rice at the bride and groom as they're leaving the church. I never take the rice out of the little bag before I throw it directly at the groom. I do this because I'm kind. I know how much of a mess it is to get rice out of the hair. The reception was a lot of fun, too. I even got to be the kind of, sort of, semi-official video camera guy for the first half of it because the guy who was supposed to do it mysteriously disappeared. I blame the dingoes. These are a few of the things I learned while holding the camera: For some strange reason, people don't like it when you film them eating. Especially if they're sinking their teeth into a big piece of juicy fried chicken and you zoom in on the grease floating down their cheek. And then you comment to them how disgusting this looks on videotape. They really hate that. I just don't get it. No matter how cool you may think it will look on screen, putting the camera directly in the way of a cork about to be popped from a champagne bottle is a very bad idea. Trust me on this.

McVeigh put to death

By Joseph S. Pete · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

TERRE HAUTE -- At about 7:20 a.m. today, Timothy McVeigh will taste rubber. His body will tingle with a cool sensation. Then he'll sputter and draw his last gasp of air. McVeigh, convicted of bombing the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City in a 1995 blast that killed 168 people and injured hundreds more, will be the first person executed by the federal government in 38 years.

The difference of 1 year

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Almost a year ago to the date, some students on the Bloomington campus were caught up in violent protests and destruction because Bob Knight had been fired. At the time, I thought how lucky my son was that our country was at peace with the world and that he did not have to protest against a war or other horrible acts -- only against a fired basketball coach.

Karl Denson's Tiny Universe returns to Bloomington

By Teddy ParkerRenga · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

For most people, college is a major turning point in their lives, a time to determine one's occupational destiny. Music fans everywhere can thank their lucky stars that jazz musician Karl Denson chose his wisely. At age 20, he put down a stethoscope and picked up the sax for good, switching from veterinary school to music composition while a student at Cal State Long Beach. "It just made sense," said Denson. At 7:30 p.m., he will bring his own blend of hypnotic jazz and infectious funk to the Buskirk-Chumley Theater, 114 E. Kirkwood Ave., in a Union Board-sponsored concert.

Can you believe those Hoosiers?

By Ryan Lengerich · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

In my first two years as a student at IU, I watched the Hoosiers get battered by Pepperdine and outplayed by Kent State in the first round of the NCAA tournament. Early this season, the Hoosiers' record was a miserable 7-5 after a loss to Butler, and conference season had not begun. It had been 10 years since the team had reached the Final Four, and with the direction the program seemed to be heading, the team wouldn't go back until players such as Tom Coverdale were being pushed around in wheel chairs. Sure enough, Saturday night, because of severely spraining his chronically weak left ankle, Coverdale was wheeled around Rupp arena wearing a 2002 South regional championship T-shirt. Meanwhile, head coach Mike Davis climbed a 10-foot high aluminum ladder and cut down the net in celebration of his first ever Final Four appearance as a head coach.

Hoosier great still on court

By Natalie A. Trout and Natalie Trout · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Great players have come and gone in the history of IU basketball. Some are remembered and some are not. Brian Evans, who started at IU from 1993-1996, is one who will likely be remembered for a long time. The forward's accomplishments at IU put him in close contention for IU's All-Century Team, and his talent has continued after his time on McCracken Court in Assembly Hall.
