The Bloomington Area Arts Council kicks off its 2001-2002 Performance Series next week. Detour Productions, a Bloomington-based theater production company, will begin the new theater season with "Buried Child," a 1979 Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Sam Shepard. With the return of theater to the John Waldron Arts Center, 122 S. Walnut St., comes the return of something that has been missed, director Joe Gaines said.

Talk to address life after attacks

By Elizabeth Crosbie · Thursday, Nov. 8,2001 11:17 p.m.

U.S. military planes launched bombing raids on Taliban targets in Kandahar, Afghanistan, Wednesday while the Taliban militia responded with their own anti-aircraft weapons. President George W. Bush called the new war on terrorism the first war of the 21st century. IU students will be among many people of their generation to determine the outcome of the new war and help shape the events of this century.

BFC seeks better student-faculty ratio

By Camile Constantin · Thursday, Nov. 8,2001 11:13 p.m.

With one of the worst student-faculty ratios in the Big Ten, IU faculty and administrators agree the numbers must be improved. One of the overall goals of the Bloomington Faculty Council is to increase the number of faculty in Bloomington, said BFC President Robert Eno, professor of East Asian Languages and Cultures.

Taliban voice silenced

By Munir Ahmad · Thursday, Nov. 8,2001 10:57 p.m.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan -- In a diplomatic crackdown on the Taliban, Pakistan's Foreign Ministry said Thursday it ordered the fundamentalist militia to close its consulate in the port city of Karachi. Taliban diplomats also were told not to take part in nationwide protests by hard-line Islamic groups scheduled for Friday in Karachi, a center of Islamic fundamentalist activity, and protest organizers were warned against inciting violence.

New Horizons

By Lauren E. Morrill and Lauren Elizabeth Morril · Thursday, Nov. 8,2001 1:16 a.m.

Steve McGovern likes to go fast. That's why his favorite horse at Rocky Rivers Farm is Mesa, an animal fond of speed. Today, though, he is riding Don Miguel. The lesson begins with McGovern leading Miguel out of the stall, brushing him and saddling up. McGovern can do everything except bridle and feed Miguel. He's working on learning to feed the horses. McGovern is at Rocky Rivers as part of Jen Lorinsky-Simpson's New Horizons Therapeutic Riding program. Along with an army of volunteers, she conducts hour-long riding lessons for mentally and physically disabled children and adults.

Team relaxes before battling

By Matt Pera · Thursday, Nov. 8,2001 12:44 a.m.

With the best record in the Big Ten, the men's soccer team earned a bye into the second round of the conference tournament this weekend, which will take place at the McClimon Soccer Complex in Madison, Wis. The No. 4 Hoosiers (12-3-1, 6-0) will have an opportunity to relax Thursday while Michigan and Wisconsin battle for the right to meet them Friday at 2 p.m. for the semi-final match. Senior goalie Colin Rogers said although the bye is a benefit, the team hasn't forgotten last year's tournament, in which they lost to Ohio State.

Tournament success may depend on 'now veteran' freshmen

By Rob Mullally and Robert Mullally · Thursday, Nov. 8,2001 12:42 a.m.

With head coach Jerry Yeagley returning a steady group of players from last year's College Cup team, it was unclear what kind of impact IU's heralded recruiting class would make in their first season. Now with the regular season in the books, there is no question that the freshmen will have a large role if IU is to make it through the Big Ten Tournament and to their fifth consecutive College Cup. "We have a lot of talented young players," Yeagley said. "Those freshmen are now veterans with a season under their belt so we don't expect them to make freshman mistakes any longer. These are guys who have played at a pretty good level before and hopefully won't be in awe."

Seniors reflect on career, prepare for last dance

By Matt Pera · Thursday, Nov. 8,2001 12:40 a.m.

Some may look at the four Final Four appearances and two national championships the men's soccer team has produced during the past four years and speculate that the squad's senior class must be spoiled rotten. But backs Josh Rife and Ryan Hammer, midfielders Bobby de St. Aubin and Tyler Hawley and goalie Colin Rogers have paid their dues, and they do not take anything for granted. "What makes this group (of seniors) unique is that all five of them had to prove themselves here," head coach Jerry Yeagley said. "They didn't come in as stars."

NBA on NBC reaches new low

By Benjy Ekhaus · Thursday, Nov. 8,2001 12:33 a.m.

NBC began its coverage of the NBA season with an unusual November game Saturday night. While the network usually waits until Christmas to air games, this year it felt it could not wait to return Michael Jordan to the airwaves. Ratings have fallen over the past few seasons and the network's coverage of the NBA has slipped, but Saturday was the worst sports broadcast I have ever seen. The usual studio hosts were nowhere to be found. No Hanna Storm, no Bob Costas and no Peter Vescey. While I was never impressed with Storm's knowledge of basketball, she did have a respect for the broadcast itself, which is the least you can ask from a host.

Varied training methods unite runners

By Tyler Hoeppner · Thursday, Nov. 8,2001 12:31 a.m.

Different runners specialize in different distances and events. But Coach Judy Bogenschutz said she is seeking a balance on her cross country team. "First thing I tell all of them in the fall is that they are 5K and 6K runners," Bogenschutz said. "They have to say that they're running this distance today and they have to run it well." Sophomore Audrey Giesler is one of the middle distance runners. She also said she tries to separate the two seasons. "I have to have the mentality that I'm a cross country runner now and not worry about track." Giesler said.

Team finishes 3rd in tourney

By Gavin Lesnick · Thursday, Nov. 8,2001 12:30 a.m.

Playing in their fourth and final tournament of the fall, the Hoosiers posted their top finish at the Pine Needles tournament, which concluded Tuesday. After placing fourth in all three of their previous tournaments, the Hoosiers moved up a spot, finishing third. But coach Sam Carmichael said he saw room for improvement. "I think we had the same play we've had all fall, very inconsistent," Carmichael said. "Having to count an 80 the first round and an 82 the second round was just really hard on our scores. If I looked at the scores, I'd have to say we're not playing as well now as we were at the first of the year."

Conclusion: This game is insane

By Jason Recker · Thursday, Nov. 8,2001 12:28 a.m.

This week was slated for the countdown to the Rose Bowl, but given the current plight of the football team, it might well be better-suited for the various uses of paper clips and shovels. Because all bowl discussion is sidetracked by that 2-5 record, I turned to Sony Playstation. Wednesday, I set up the classic battle for the Brass Spittoon, NCAA Football 2002 style. Evidently, announcers Kirk Herbstriet and Lee Corso have just as much faith in the Hoosiers as I do. Both predicted an MSU rout.

Purcell excels in tough situations

By Pat Crowell · Thursday, Nov. 8,2001 12:26 a.m.

The men's cross country team has an important meet this weekend in Terre Haute at the NCAA Great Lakes Regional. So far this season, the Hoosiers have not been able to put together a team effort where each member runs well. But one sophomore, Nathan Purcell, has been able to consistently turn out good races at big meets. In his first year at IU, Purcell was red-shirted, but that was the least of his obstacles. One day he was leaving class for home with a teammate in front of Woodburn where the two had ridden their bikes to class that day. As they were leaving, Purcell was struck by a car on Seventh Street. He was not injured severely, but he did have to spend the night in the hospital.

Morgan judge anticipates appeal

By Holly Johnson and Holy Johnson · Thursday, Nov. 8,2001 12:22 a.m.

As officials at The Indianapolis Star formulate a response to Monday's court ruling that IU does not have to release documents related to the firing of former basketball coach Bob Knight, the judge who ruled in favor of the University expects an appeal. Morgan County Special Judge Jane Spencer Craney would not comment on her written opinion Wednesday because of the likelihood of its review. Star Executive Editor Terry Eberle is consulting with the paper's lawyer, Kevin Betz, as to its next move. "We are carefully looking at what the judge said in her ruling, but we have not as of yet made a decision on our next course of action," Eberle said.

Fairweather finds clear skies to success

By by Katie Cierniak and Katie Cierniak · Thursday, Nov. 8,2001 12:14 a.m.

Washington's Fairweather, formed a little over a year ago and recently landing a record deal, toured the country and played at Initial Records' annual Krazyfest. Fairweather burst onto the scene, releasing a full-length album If they move…Kill them on Equal Vision Records and gained a strong following. "They have exploded on the scene in a matter of minutes, and if they continue in this fashion, will be one of the bands that take over the world," said Scot Gallop from Churchkey Music, the local group promoting the concert. It all started when Jay Littleton asked Ben Green about being in a band. They played in Littleton's basement for fun, never expecting it to grow into something this big.

Muffins in the oven give that fresh-baked smell

By Camilla Saulsbury · Thursday, Nov. 8,2001 12:13 a.m.

It has always been my belief that, at the end of the day, what most people want in the way of home cooked food is something consoling and uncomplicated. Enter the muffin, the most democratic of baked goods. Muffins are amenable to both state-of-the-art and cubby-hole kitchens. Cooks who have studied cooking for years find as much joy in whipping up a batch of muffins as completely green cooks, and fussy toddlers, cranky teenagers and weary adults are comforted by them. Most muffin recipes are variations of a four-step process: combine the wet ingredients, combine the dry ingredients, combine the wet with the dry, and bake. In 20 to 30 minutes, magic.

Great performances makes 'Waiting' worthwile

By John DeBoer · Thursday, Nov. 8,2001 12:11 a.m.

The University Theatre's production of Samuel Beckett's "Waiting for Godot" is nothing less than spectacular. It is very rare when all the elements of a production come together in perfect harmony, but in "Waiting for Godot" they do. Those familiar with Beckett's masterpiece are aware of its bewildering text in which nothing and everything seems to happen at once. Its two tramps, Vladimir and Estragon, sit at a crossroads during the entire play, waiting for the appearance of the mysterious Godot, who will save them from their horrible lives. They deal with the waiting through various distractions, which always end with them plunked right back into their monotonous and seemingly meaningless existences.
