Statewide anti-war rally features comparisons of Vietnam, Iraq

By Ben Woodson · Sunday, Oct. 30,2005 11:04 p.m.

TERRE HAUTE -- Pfc. Robert Lore was just walking by the End the War rally at the courthouse Saturday in full military dress when someone asked him why the United States is in Iraq. "I'm asking the same question," he said. Immediately, one of the protesters asked him to speak. However, he was unable to because the protest was already running long. He would have been the last of the speakers that included protest organizers from all around the state and military families who used a bullhorn to address the protesters.

'Frankenstein' to be brought alive at pub

By Meghan Lucas · Sunday, Oct. 30,2005 11:04 p.m.

The days of trick-or-treating might have come and gone for most IU students, but this Halloween season, there's more than scantily clad nurses and candy corn in Bloomington. Out of the eerie shadows of the Irish Lion comes a play of monstrous proportions, filled with murder, intrigue, rage and maybe even a misunderstood creature or two. "Mary Shelley's Frankenstein," performed by the Monroe County Civic Theater, takes the stage at 8 p.m. tonight and Tuesday at the Irish Lion. Adapted from Mary Shelley's classic novel, the script of "Frankenstein" is a close adaptation of the literary work. The play closely follows the novel's plotline, veering from the book only in instances where director and playwright Russell McGeesaid he feels the casting and dramatic action need a jolt.

Rocky Horror comes to Bloomington

By Jamie Ward · Sunday, Oct. 30,2005 11:01 p.m.

Halloween arrived early and hundreds lost their "virginity" Saturday night at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater's screening of the 1970s cult classic "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Not having appeared on the big screen in Bloomington in many years, the film's return offered patrons the chance to don their costumes for Halloween while also honoring the traditions of "Rocky Horror" screenings. The event also was a fund-raiser for event sponsor Cardinal Stage Company, a new Bloomington theater group. The group will make its stage debut in January with four performances of Thornton Wilder's classic play, "Our Town," also to be performed at the Buskirk-Chumley. Randy White, a Bloomington resident originally from Canada, acts as the producing artistic director of the company. Having successfully launched a professional theater group in Canada 15 years ago that still continues today, White wants exactly that in Bloomington.

Trustees might raise tuition rates

By Peter Stevenson · Friday, Oct. 28,2005 1:45 p.m.

Faced with budget problems, IU is likely to consider raising tuition higher than last year's increase, trustees said Tuesday. Increased costs and a shortfall in state funding have already left the University short of money for maintenance and repairs. Trustees said raising tuition would be a viable option to solve the budget problem.

Indiana will soon become 48th state to adopt DST

By Jamie Ward · Friday, Oct. 28,2005 1:17 a.m.

The times are not a-changin' in Indiana. In the future, Oct. 30, 2005, might be remembered in the state's history as the day the time anomaly ended. Sunday officially marks the end of Hoosier resistance to the observance of daylight-saving time, as states in the Eastern Time zone will move their clocks back an hour, thus aligning themselves with Indiana. When 47 states move their clocks ahead in April, Indiana will join the DST world and "spring ahead" with the rest of the country.

Committee to create food chain list today

By Carrie Ritchie · Friday, Oct. 28,2005 1:17 a.m.

The Golden Arches have one last chance to don Read Center. Although Residential Programs and Services will not pursue a new contract with McDonald's at this time, the food chain might still have an opportunity to keep its spot on campus.

Flying high in Hoosier skies

By Chip Cutter · Friday, Oct. 28,2005 1:17 a.m.

IU student Eric Gunther likes the freedom that comes with flying airplanes: the bright orange colors that reflect off campus buildings during sunset, the lack of traffic, the speed and the ability to shave hours off travel time.

Big Ten title up for grabs as IU welcomes Penn State

By Jordan Majewski · Friday, Oct. 28,2005 1:05 a.m.

As coach Amy Robertson and the No. 9 IU field hockey team prepare for the final two home games of the season, they find themselves in a position they have never been in before -- entering the final weekend of the season with a chance to win a Big Ten title.

College IDs to be required at dances

By Kristin Huett · Friday, Oct. 28,2005 12:56 a.m.

Students from any college or university will now be asked to provide student identification when attending IU dance functions on campus locations. Officials say the revision is not a response to events after a Sept. 17 fraternity dance.

IU heads to last race of fall season

By Bill Meehan · Friday, Oct. 28,2005 12:54 a.m.

The Hoosiers hope to begin another successful year of rowing Sunday at their only contest of the fall season, the Head of the Elk, a 5K race against the clock on the St. Joseph River in Elkhart, Ind. IU coach Steve Peterson said he doesn't place a lot of value on the results of fall races, but believes the event will allow him to assess the team against stiff competition, including Big Ten rivals. He also thinks a well-rowed race could have a huge impact on the sprint season.

After double OT, Hoosiers tie Boilers

By Chris Sauer · Friday, Oct. 28,2005 12:53 a.m.

If a tie is like kissing your sister, then Thursday's game must have felt like a full-out make out session. After 110 minutes of soccer, the IU women's soccer team tied arch rival Purdue 1-1 in a game that featured many scoring chances. It wasn't all negative for the Hoosiers, who with the tie officially qualified for the Big Ten tournament. So maybe it's more like a peck on the cheek.

Postseason mindset begins this weekend

By Chris Engel · Friday, Oct. 28,2005 12:52 a.m.

The IU men's soccer team begins its final week before the postseason in an unfamiliar position -- the underdog. The No. 5 Hoosiers travel to College Park, Md., to face No. 3 University of Maryland Saturday night, and welcome No. 1 University of Akron Thursday to wrap up the regular season and prepare for the defense of their national championship.

Hoosiers need to take a 'Stant'

By Alyson Brodsy and Andrew Shaffer · Friday, Oct. 28,2005 12:51 a.m.

I'm done with this. You can call these past two weeks a hangover for the Hoosiers. But whatever it's been, don't call them moral victories. Moral victories are for the kid chosen last in a pick-up basketball game. Come Saturday, when IU faces Michigan State at Spartan Stadium, there better be a fire lit up the backside of the Hoosier players that is so big it'll be able to save the people from "Lost." "But Mister Playin' It Shaffe," you might ask, "why are you so upset?" Well, it is because I know they can win. You might wonder why I expect so much from a team that is putting on its training wheels against a Tour de France lineup represented by the entire Big Ten.

Switching sides

By Matt Mattucci · Friday, Oct. 28,2005 12:49 a.m.

A year ago, senior John Pannozzo was catching passes out of the backfield and blocking for Hoosier running backs. Junior Troy Grosfield practiced with the special teams unit as a kicker and ran plays with the practice squad. But when IU coach Terry Hoeppner and his staff took over, all of that immediately changed.

Supporting free expression

By Alyson Brodsy · Friday, Oct. 28,2005 12:45 a.m.

A recent story in the Indiana Daily Student brought an interesting issue to our attention. How acceptable is being gay in the greek community? Last week, a member of our sorority, Alpha Gamma Delta, participated in a panel titled "Being Greek and Being Gay." We think our chapter was misrepresented in Kacie Foster's article ("Gay and greek: Members speak," Oct. 19).

Diversity in print

By Alyson Brodsy and Brian Stewart · Friday, Oct. 28,2005 12:44 a.m.

The old maxim that those who think in herds behave in herds is a fair description of the campus environment at IU these days. Dialectic reasoning is shunned. What one thinks matters more than how one thinks.

Double standards

By Alyson Brodsy and Ayesha Awan · Friday, Oct. 28,2005 12:43 a.m.

I hate double standards. That is probably why I hate the war in Iraq. I recently read an article on www.MSNBC.com talking about how the U.S. soldier death toll has reached 2,000. I sympathize with these soldiers and their families, as I would with soldiers from any nation, for the simple reason that for the large part they are young men and women who otherwise would have been disconnected from the ulterior political motives their nation had to send them into combat.
