DiNardo faces challenges with new recruit class

By Guy Cipriano · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Football coach Gerry DiNardo recruited some big names at LSU. Quarterback Rohan Davey, wide receiver Josh Reed and linebacker Trev Faulk were talented football players who helped LSU claim Sugar Bowl and SEC championship game victories this past season. Every member of the trio should be dressing Sundays next fall, and they all signed their letters-of-intent during DiNardo's tenure.

Tibetan events held throughout weekend

By Josh Hamerman · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

At a Tibetan teach-in held Sunday, Larry Gerstein, a psychology professor at Ball State University and the president and co-founder of the International Tibet Independence Movement, began by asking his audience to whisper the words "free Tibet" repetitiously. He then explained that even whispering those words in the Tibetan region would prompt an arrest by the Chinese police and a prison sentence. Possession of a photo of the Dalai Lama, the religious and political leader of Tibet, or participation in a political demonstration would warrant the same punishment.

Call a friend, revive a friendship

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

Stop reading this and call your best friend. Almost anything can wait the five minutes required to call and say, "Hi. Just wanted to see what's up." And if the conversation generated by that greeting stretches from five minutes to 45, that's even better. No, this isn't a lesson in procrastination. It's a life lesson.

Defense falters again

By Sarah Meinecke · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Familiarity is comforting, except when it's losing. And that's just what the Hoosiers did Saturday in Iowa City against the Hawkeyes. They lost 42-28, in an all too familiar fashion. A dominant offense, an invisible defense. The tone of the game was set a mere 1:45 seconds into the game when Iowa scored on a 75-yard touchdown run. The entire drive consisted of three plays, and from then out the Iowa offense scored on all but one possession in the first half.

IU's own police academy

By Elise LeBlanc · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Twenty-one IU Police Department cadets, dressed in full garb, attentively listen to David Toumey, the Monroe Country Coroner, as he describes each of the slides on his Power Point presentation. Cadets squint to make out details of the gruesome images before them: a blood-clotted brain, suicide hanging, strangulation homicide and bloated, decomposing carcasses. Some of them mutter comments under their breath while others wince at the pictures.

You make the choice

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

During the next week and a half, Bloomington police officers will continue to crack down on seat belt violators. Officers have been patrolling busy intersections throughout the city since Sunday looking for unbelted drivers and passengers. At red lights, they pass stopped cars on foot and issue a $25 ticket to any motorist not wearing a seat belt.

Brehm ushers in different era

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

Wednesday's induction of Bloomington Chancellor Sharon Brehm marks a defining moment for IU. In the past year-and-a-half, the University lost former Chancellor Herman B Wells, experienced the retirement of its chancellor, Kenneth Gros Louis, and saw its basketball coach, Bob Knight, fired. All three men were defining leaders with widespread support locally and nationally, all bringing IU national recognition for excellence.

Do-gooder charms audience

By Lizz Giordano · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Skipping stones, cracking the crust of a crème brulée with the back of a spoon and sinking her hand into a sack of dry grain. It is the moment the narrator describes Amélie's likes and dislikes that the audience becomes mesmerized by her. It's the warm smile that appears on her face throughout the movie that really shows just how much she enjoys life. But, the audience discovers, she enjoys it from a distance.

Flag burning amendment unnecessary

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

Back when our country was founded, the foundation for our country was built upon a certain set of rights that were protected in the Constitution. The Bill of Rights granted citizens of this country rights that were not available to others in the world, such as freedom of religion and also free speech. In the past decade, a debate has come about that jeopardizes the right of free speech for an issue that is unnecessarily frivolous.

A community 'in step'

By Roxanne Geyer · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Iris Rosa's energy is contagious, especially when the subject of dancing comes up. Her graceful hands help in telling a story, and her soft brown eyes sparkle with excitement for the future. For Rosa, associate professor in the Department of African American Studies, dancing is not just a hobby; it's a part of someone.

Legend enjoying role as coach

By Michael Nalborczyk · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Taking on defenders with relentless courage, there wasn't a more determined and hard-working running back than Anthony Thompson. Thompson's IU career was essentially four yards and a cloud of trust. Not flashy, he was just a back that was always dependable, always reliable and would constantly encourage his line to keep it up after a good gain. The same traits that made him a two-time All-American is causing Thompson to emerge as a young coach on the rise in the college ranks.

International Services director clarifies information printed

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

First and foremost, the records of about 3,200 international students were not released to federal authorities last week, as was asserted in the lead of that article. When interviewed over the phone for the article, I did cite the fact that about 3,200 international students are currently enrolled at IU Bloomington. But my office has not received a direct request for information on those students from the FBI, nor have we provided such information.
