New IDS staffers prepare

By Christina Jewett · Wednesday, Dec. 5,2001 12:27 a.m.

So it begins. Another semester at the IDS is already dancing in the minds of editors who've earned positions on the Spring 2002 staff. Wednesday and Thursday evenings, they will shadow current editors and learn traditions as old as Ernie Pyle's desk hulking in a corner of the newsroom -- or at least its legend. Judging by the light in their eyes during editor interviews, this group will bring fresh vigor to their jobs, too.

By Katie Schoenbaechler and Katie Shoenbaechler · Tuesday, Dec. 4,2001 12:35 a.m.

The time has come for the Bloomington Faculty Council to make a decision that could change Big Ten athletics eligibility rules and game coverage. The proposal stems from an article written by IU President Myles Brand in the March issue of NCAA news. It calls for lesser exposure for college sports and the reinforcement of academics on college campuses.

Brawls, bobbleheads, basketweaving

By Jason Recker · Tuesday, Dec. 4,2001 12:10 a.m.

It's all over. And all I have left is an Antwaan Randle El bobble-head doll. Saturday's 26-15 victory over Kentucky was boring, ordinary and ... boring. As exciting as trying to decide just how much gigantic Wildcat quarterback Jared Lorenzen weighs. Less exciting than discussing bologna sandwiches ... until the final seconds and the tangle of crimson and UK blue that ensued. Some guys threw punches and pushes. Others, like junior Enoch DeMar and freshman Damien Jones, threw helmets.

What child is this?

By Charles Cutrera · Monday, Dec. 3,2001 11:52 p.m.

Christmas could not come at any better time. Just as project deadlines begin to weigh down upon me and this mental fatigue called burnout sets in, the Christmas season bursts onto the scene, bringing a sense of joy and wonder. Evergreen appears all over the place -- a welcome sight amongst the dull gray of winter. Christmas lights twinkle on houses. All this wonderful holiday food starts popping up in stores and on the dinner table. Cards from old friends grace my mailbox. Christmas carols ring out. And did I mention the food?

'Color blindness' a myth

By Jack M. Silverstein · Monday, Dec. 3,2001 11:48 p.m.

I'm thinking of an NBA player. Tell me when you know who he is. This point guard is in his fourth year out of college, and was traded in the off-season for being too erratic. He's often described as a "flashy showboat" who would rather make a pass behind his back and off of his elbow than make an easy pass to help his team. Although his passes excite the crowd, they often confuse his teammates.

A little reminder of great strength

By Jeanne Wilson · Monday, Dec. 3,2001 11:43 p.m.

Do you have a teddy bear? A security blanket? Some kind of a lucky charm that you carry around with you? I'm curious because I've been leaning on mine lately, and it got me wondering about everyone else's.
