University set to curb alcohol flow

By Holly Johnson and Holy Johnson · Wednesday, Nov. 28,2001 12:54 a.m.

As the football season draws to a close, IU administrators are considering following the lead of other Indiana colleges by imposing tighter regulations on tailgating activities at athletic events. Working in conjunction with the IU Police Department, campus officials might implement new policies to deter underage drinking at tailgate events. The efforts include designating alcohol-free zones in Memorial Stadium's red lots and boosting the cost of tailgate parking to increase police patrols in those areas, said Dean of Students Richard McKaig. Similar measures have already taken effect at Purdue and Ball State universities.

Flag football brings thrill to teams

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Nov. 27,2001 1:03 a.m.

There are not 40 thousand spectators in the stands, but close friends and fraternity brothers crowd the near sideline. There isn't inches of rain on the field because these games are played indoors. There is no local television coverage, but friends of the players can be seen taping with their home video cameras.

By Gavin Lesnick · Tuesday, Nov. 27,2001 12:49 a.m.

Franco Gulli, an IU school of music faculty member and a distinguished violinist, passed away last Tuesday at the age of 75. "He was an extraordinary person, very kind and gracious and was just a very kind person," said Mauricio Fuks, a professor of music in violin. "It was wonderful for IU to have a person of that quality, it was wonderful for the students. I also think it was wonderful for the teachers -- for us to have a colleague like that, such a wonderful person and such a wonderful musician. We will miss him a lot."

Monologues personalize disease, epidemic

By Christina Jewett · Tuesday, Nov. 27,2001 12:47 a.m.

Practicing for "T-Cells and Sympathy: Monologues in the age of AIDS" wasn't emotionally draining for Jennifer Fish, even though she's known seven people who've died of AIDS. Only when senior Jen Dover's character recounted taking care of a dying AIDS patient did the memories of a friend who died of AIDS come rushing back. "It's sad to see a disease eat someone up," said Fish, 28, a Bloomington resident. "Feeding them, cleaning house -- it feels like a TV show until the person's not around anymore."

The fall meeting of the Faculty Athletics Representatives Association (FARA) might not have made significant changes in the NCAA, but it certainly made progress for many substantial changes in the coming years. According to a November 5 NCAA posting on their Web site, the goal of the meeting was to "focus on ways to enhance the faculty's role in intercollegiate athletics, as well as ways faculty might address issues raised in the most recent Knight Foundation Commission on Intercollegiate athletics report".

Away from turmoil, into peace

By Gabriel Lewin · Tuesday, Nov. 27,2001 12:06 a.m.

Not being completely immersed in the news everyday, I often find it difficult to find a topic to address in my columns. For this particular week, since I have been going from show to show at the theater, I've spent more time creating than critiquing. For the first time in a long time, however, I took a very long moment outside. This past weekend, I found a new meaning to a very American holiday that, more than any other American holiday, I\'ve actually celebrated in a manner that was not blinded by merchandising or my own cynicism -- for instance, Labor Day (wait a minute...?). Thanksgiving, for me anyway, has some very distinct traditions that always make it an anticipated holiday, but also one where I can allow my patriotism to show.

Business back to usual

By Jack M. Silverstein · Tuesday, Nov. 27,2001 12:05 a.m.

At the tail end of my drive back to school Sunday night, I saw something really disturbing. It wasn't a picture of Ground Zero, or Osama with an assault rifle, or Laura Bush saying how she did not realize that America was vulnerable. Driving south on College Avenue I saw these words printed on a sign at the Budget Rent-a-Car: FLY YOUR FLAGS. DRIVE OUR CARS." This is not the first time I've seen someone trying to cash in on Sept. 11. About two weeks ago, I saw a commercial for a commemorative coin. The coin was adorned with the Twin Towers and an American flag, and it was immediately called a "collectable." Also, the nice people distributing the coin lowered their original price so that every American could own one and "do their part." I felt sick.
