Cuban racks up 5th NBA fine this season

Wednesday, Jan. 17,2001 12:31 a.m.

DALLAS — Dallas owner and IU alumnus Mark Cuban has received another fine from the NBA, this one totaling $100,000 for sitting on the baseline during the Mavericks game in Minneapolis, last week. "I wasn't aware this was finable, there isn't a rule against it," Cuban said in an e-mail to The Associated Press. "They said it wasn't fitting for an owner to sit there. Ridiculous."

Hoosier advances to quarterfinals

Wednesday, Jan. 17,2001 12:29 a.m.

In its first action since October, the men's tennis team saw some success at the Big Ten Singles Championships last weekend at Ann Arbor, Mich. Senior Milan Rakvica was the Hoosiers' strongest showing, as he won each of his first three rounds in straight sets. He was eliminated in the tournament's quarterfinal by the No. 7 seed from Illinois, Philip Stolt (2-6, 3-6).

Chapman is 'premier post player'

By Sara Meinecke and Sarah Meinecke · Wednesday, Jan. 17,2001 12:28 a.m.

Some say the quiet ones are always more dangerous. This silent predator for the women's basketball team comes in the form of a 6-foot-5 inch junior from Montpelier, Ind. Her name is Jill Chapman. "She's that soft-spoken person," senior guard Heather Cassady said. "Every once in a while, she'll hit a big shot that will get her going, but most of the time she's kind of reserved."

Hoosiers need Big Ten win

By Heater A. Dinich and Heather A. Dinich · Wednesday, Jan. 17,2001 12:25 a.m.

Junior guard Dane Fife said he realizes interim head coach Mike Davis wants more offensive productivity from the guards. But Fife said the IU guards aren't quick enough to create their own shots. He even said that maybe, just maybe, the guards "aren't clever enough" to create their own shots. This could be a problem for the Hoosiers (10-7, 1-2 Big Ten) when they face Penn State (11-3, 2-2) and senior guard Joe Crispin, the conference's leading scorer, at 6 p.m. today in Assembly Hall. Crispin is an agile, off-the-dribble shooter averaging 26 points per game against the Big Ten, good for No. 6 in the nation.

Professor shares real-life discrimination

By Matt Covele · Wednesday, Jan. 17,2001 12:17 a.m.

During a casual lunch with a colleague in 1975 in New York City, Akwasi B. Assensoh was asked to exit the restaurant he was dining in because the manager told him, "Your presence is driving away business." After charging the meal to the restaurant, Assensoh, an African-American man, was asked to leave.

Opie Taylor's should fix flaws

Tuesday, Jan. 16,2001 11:04 p.m.

Opie Taylor's, 212 N. Walnut St., calls itself a Bloomington tradition, and indeed it is. The atmosphere is perfect for grabbing a burger and a beer while you watch ESPN. But it won't be the best burger in town, by any means. We were seated on stools at a high table, which was somewhat wobbly. We found that to eat, we had to do a balancing act, of sorts.

'Island' mere fun

By Laura Ewald · Tuesday, Jan. 16,2001 10:57 p.m.

"Passions," "Saved by the Bell," "Survivor," "Total Request Live" and ESPN commercials. These and more guilty TV pleasures bring laughter into our living rooms and smiles to our faces. And while "Temptation Island" might be a bit more risque than the aforementioned programming, it follows the same lighthearted format, and should be treated as such.

Remember King with actions

By James Boyd · Tuesday, Jan. 16,2001 10:43 p.m.

It was around mile six of the Martin Luther King Jr. Torch Relay that I dropped the torch. That's right, I dropped and broke the thing. There I was, in the middle of Newport, R.I., running with a Coleman flashlight (which was supposed to represent a torch), honoring one of America's greatest civil rights leaders.

Unified effort necessary for voting reform

By Sarita Chourey · Tuesday, Jan. 16,2001 10:39 p.m.

He's anything but apologetic. Florida Gov. Jeb Bush just vetoed a $100,000 voter-education measure in Florida without blinking. Surprising, huh? He could have played the prince. What's a hundred grand after all? Mere pelican scraps. Whose idea was this "voter-education measure"? Plenty of politicians are painting themselves as seekers of a just electoral process, especially after toilet-papering it a month ago.

Going all the way

Tuesday, Jan. 16,2001 10:35 p.m.

Tonight, the second episode of the FOX television show "Temptation Island" will air. Last week's episode drew 16 million viewers, most of them between the ages of 11 and 18. "Temptation Island" has an interesting premise. Four couples come to a deserted island and go out on dates with beautiful strangers to prove their relationships are strong. For the winners, those who make it through without cheating, money is to be had. For the losers, a trip home alone. But is this the type of show we should be watching?

'Day On' encourages service

By Elvin Yavuz · Tuesday, Jan. 16,2001 8:06 p.m.

The Martin Luther King Jr. holiday Monday meant many Bloomington businesses were closed and IU students didn't have to wake up early to attend classes. But for many, the holiday wasn't just a day in a long weekend. Instead, it was a time to put King's words into action. Since 1998, the IU and Bloomington communities have joined forces to create a weekend of service. Thousands of people participated in the weekend, "A Day On … Not A Day Off." Volunteers went to the 50 participating agencies and work sites to donate their time. This year, more than 400 people volunteered, said Darrell Ann Stone, associate director of student activities.

Holiday draws volunteers

By Sarah Trotto · Tuesday, Jan. 16,2001 1:02 a.m.

A young boy leans forward with a hand on his chin as he listens to a student read a story in the lobby of the Monroe County Public Library. More than 80 IU students held the attention of the children at the Martin Luther King Jr. Day Read-Out at the library's children's department Monday. A heightened interest in volunteerism and help from the Volunteer Students Bureau brought more students than last year to such activities, program supervisors said.
