By Steve Slivka · Friday, Dec. 2,2005 9:54 a.m.

Last summer, Lee Nguyen played in Enschede, Holland, on the United States' under-20 national team in the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championships. He was the only high schooler on the roster of college-age players. The IU freshman might now return to the site of his last international match to begin his professional career. "I talked with all of my teammates and they agreed with the time," said Nguyen, who recently signed with an agent. "Going pro is all about timing.

He was arrested Friday in Plano, Texas, for an outstanding warrant on an unpaid speeding ticket but was charged with misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia after police searched his car.

Senior Lauren Torpey said the pairing of IU and Northwestern is an "unspoken rivalry" because Jimmy Tierney, Northwestern's head coach, is IU head coach Dorsey Tierney-Walker's brother.

By John Wustrow · Friday, Dec. 2,2005 9:33 a.m.

On Nov. 27, IU placed 13 wrestlers at the Mat Town Invitational. For the University of Northern Iowa Open this Sunday, the No. 16 Hoosiers already know they will not have as many grapplers place. That is because IU is using this weekend to rest up and will not be sending as many wrestlers to compete. IU coach Duane Goldman said the Hoosiers will not be sending any of their regular starters to the Open, but rather will send a few backups to represent the team.

After Wednesday's close loss to Duke, Davis felt his team played well with the exception of the first five minutes, but he expressed concerns about his squad abandoning its commitment to scoring in transition.

Reality of racism

By Alyson Brodsy and Ayesha Awan · Friday, Dec. 2,2005 9:28 a.m.

Anyone that hasn't been living under a rock knows that racial comments are not right. Decent people simply do not make racial comments. Well, some people are racists and would beg to differ, but they are held in check by public behavior rules and political correctness. So I guess it would be more accurate to say decent people do not make racial comments in public -- unless provoked.
