By Dan Patrick · Monday, Sept. 24,2001 11:54 p.m.

Sports already plays a large part in many IU students' lives; ranging from football tailgating parties to dressing up or painting yourself with as much cream and crimson as possible. For many, being a spectator is the full extent sports plays in a person\'s life.

Missile Defense: a sound choice

By Joshua Claybourn · Monday, Sept. 24,2001 11:45 p.m.

Right after every disastrous national event, the political equivalents of "ambulance chasers" jump into the spotlight.

Accepting each other

By Myles Brand · Monday, Sept. 24,2001 11:35 p.m.

When international events happen, they tend to hit home at IU. The large number of foreign students on our campus; the faculty and staff members who have come to IU from around the world; the IU students who are studying and have studied abroad -- all those help make the world seem like a smaller place from here. During the days and weeks ahead, as the world continues to react to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, that international focus will pose opportunities and challenges for our University community.

Coach Cam Cameron has probably said it to himself 100 times the past two weeks. And Saturday night, after IU's 28-26 loss to Utah, he said it publicly for the first time. Has there ever been a more obvious decision in the history of the game? Apparently not.

Wall Street will look at the state of the U.S. economy this week. Last week, it became apparent that many jobs will be lost as a result of the terrorist attacks.

He stated his beliefs in 95 theses that he nailed to the door of a church in Wittenberg, Germany -- the town where he lived in 1517. For this act of defiance against the Catholic Church, religious reformer Martin Luther was excommunicated four years later. Dan Clark did somewhat less last month - he quit his job teaching chemistry at Jefferson High School rather than modify his teachings about evolution. Yet it was an act of defiance also done in the name of God, a personal testimony that many people wouldn't make today. Teaching religion - that's what Lafayette School Corp.
