Fun facts from the front lines

By Duncan Teater · Tuesday, Oct. 30,2001 12:43 a.m.

I've had some awful dreams lately. Although some of them have to do with my thesis advisor sending me to Siberia, most of them involve further acts of domestic terrorism. Let's just say that the government's two most prominent theories on the anthrax assault -- Al Qaeda or an American "mad scientist" -- aren't doing anything to stop visions of mushroom clouds from dancing through my head.

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Oct. 30,2001 12:36 a.m.

Since the terrorists attacks on Sept. 11, an off-site Capitol Hill mail facility, an off-site White House mail facility, an off-site Justice Department mail facility in Landover, Md., an off-site State Department mail facility in Sterling, Va., an off-site Supreme Court mail facility, NBC, ABC, the Department of Health and Human Services, the U.S. Embassy in Lima, Peru and other locations have faced the terror being reported by media outlets across the world -- anthrax.

Preview team recruits students

By Mark Skoskiewicz · Tuesday, Oct. 30,2001 12 a.m.

Prospective students considering IU have many questions. They want to know what the atmosphere is on campus, they want to know if they have the grades to be admitted and they want know what opportunities are available. It is the job of members of the IU Preview Night Team, a group of admission officers and student team members who travel around the midwest holding informational programs, to answer any question a prospective IU student could possibly ask.

The Randle El tour nears end

By Jason Recker · Monday, Oct. 29,2001 11:38 p.m.

If -- right now -- you think watching IU football is less exciting than watching beer ferment and blood coagulate, you're in for a long, long season next year (when senior Antwaan Randle El will be playing six positions in the NFL and not for the Hoosiers). The Antwaan Randle El Tour has only five more stops, and three of them are in Bloomington. Too bad no one (I'm calling 31,116 people in a 52,000-seat venue "no one") will get to see him. Too bad his Heisman hype fluttered after IU lost five of its first six games. Too bad Randle El is the best player no one (again, 31,116 people at a home game) gets to see.

Danish flavor adds to IU field hockey

By Colin Nowling · Monday, Oct. 29,2001 11:36 p.m.

Making the transition to college is hard enough for most, but for an international student, the changes in culture and lifestyle can be overwhelming. Freshman Claire Loots has tried to ease the adjustment by taking part in one of her homeland activities, joining the IU field hockey squad. Loots came to IU via a program in her native Sint Michielsgestel, just south of Holland in the Netherlands. The program allowed her to apply to five American colleges and then select one to attend. Loots chose IU for the campus' size and diversity, not its field hockey program. Loots didn't contact head coach Amy Robertson until she was already on campus for the fall semester.

Bass team making a splash

By Scott Gierman · Monday, Oct. 29,2001 11:29 p.m.

It was a cold and windy weekend in eastern Iowa with water surrounding the boats in Coralville Reservoir and rain dropping steadily from the sky during the sixth annual Big Ten Bass Fishing Classic. On Oct. 13, the rainy weather prevented the Hoosiers from catching any bass long enough to qualify. But on Sunday, as the freezing wind continued, sophomore Brian Metzler was able to reel in a large enough fish. It would prove to be the winner.

Bravo Brave Old World

By Meredith Hahn · Monday, Oct. 29,2001 11:22 p.m.

Although I've been exposed to the Eastern European Jewish music known as klezmer from an early age, I never really appreciated it until Sunday night. Brave Old World's performance at the Buskirk-Chumley Theatre, 114 E. Kirkwood Ave., opened my eyes (and the eyes of many of my fellow audience members) to a style of music that has made a triumphant comeback in the last 40-odd years. As I sat down in my seat, I had no idea what to expect. What did I know about klezmer, really? I needn't have worried. The dynamic performance I had the good fortune to experience taught me more about the genre than anything I could have read or studied.

By Mitch Blacher · Monday, Oct. 29,2001 10:49 p.m.

Carlin Way, a nine-year-old Bloomington resident, averted his eyes and held tight to his mother when asked about his Halloween plans this year. His back turned, he said he would be handing out Halloween candy from his home, rather then venturing out with his family.
