Reporter to speak about Gatorade

By Michael Sanserino · Friday, Oct. 14,2005 12:50 a.m.

If Bobby Boucher, Adam Sandler's water-toting, Gatorade-despising character in "The Waterboy," were real, he would have hated Darren Rovell. Rovell's newest book, "First in Thirst: How Gatorade Turned the Science of Sweat into a Cultural Phenomenon," details how Gatorade, owned by PepsiCo Inc., created a near-monopoly of the sports drink market. Gatorade currently owns an 80-percent share of the sports drink market, hye said.

Drafting America

By Alyson Brodsy and David A. Nosko · Friday, Oct. 14,2005 12:49 a.m.

Iraqis will vote on a draft of their country's first democratic constitution Saturday, yet insurgents have continued their murderous attempt to disrupt the constitutional referendum. Even though President Bush renewed America's pledge to secure Iraq's future and to continue the country's lead in the global War on Terrorism during a speech Aug. 24, insurgents have killed about 400 people since then. As a result, many Americans continue to ask: "What exactly are we fighting for and how do we achieve that goal?"

Brad Pitt and David Beckham have been labeled one. So have Jude Law, Johnny Depp and Ewan McGregor. But if the latest reports prove to be at all true, these metrosexuals and others like them must change their ways and do so quickly.

By creating the Office of University Planning, Institutional Research and Accountability, IU President Adam Herbert has the right idea. But having a bright idea might not be enough to create a successful system of accountability at a University already pressed for funds.

University falls off cutting edge of wireless connection technology

By Allie Townsend · Thursday, Oct. 13,2005 1:37 a.m.

The numbers are in for this year's Most Unwired College Campuses and it seems IU has been given the plug. The survey done by the Intel Corp. ranked IU as the No. 1 unwired college in the nation last year, but on this year's list IU was nowhere to be found. 2005's reign belongs to Ball State University, which has recently updated its wireless services to include every area of campus -- a feat that IU Vice President of Telecommunications Mark Bruhn said would be almost impossible for a school of IU's size.

By Audrie Garrison · Thursday, Oct. 13,2005 1:37 a.m.

You have to spend money to make money. With that idea in mind, IU President Adam Herbert created the new Office of University Planning, Institutional Research and Accountability at the beginning of September. IU associate vice president of the office Victor Borden sees the creation as an investment for the University. "If it doesn't contribute, the office will go away. But I think it will be a great return on investment -- it has been in my experiences at IUPUI," he said.

Parking permit theft numbers spike

By Elisha Sauers · Thursday, Oct. 13,2005 1:37 a.m.

CD players and subwoofer speakers aren't the only commodities in students' cars being stolen. In the last month, the IU Police Department has documented 30 cases of stolen parking decals. That's more than half the total number of permits stolen in the entire fall semester last year. Since moving into the Foster Quad dorm this semester, freshman Robert Hellmann has had his dorm parking permit stolen. "I just ran into my dorm for, like, five, 10 minutes," Hellmann said. "When I came back out, it was gone."

Lawyer: Medical marijuana patient taken from Canada to face charge in U.S.

By Alyson Brodsy and Gene Johnson · Thursday, Oct. 13,2005 1:27 a.m.

SEATTLE -- An Army veteran who fled to Canada to avoid prosecution for growing marijuana to treat his chronic pain was yanked from a hospital by Canadian authorities, driven to the border with a catheter still attached, and turned over to U.S. officials, his lawyer says. He then went five days with no medical treatment and only ibuprofen for the pain, attorney Douglas Hiatt said. Steven W. Tuck, 38, was still fitted with the urinary catheter when he shuffled into federal court for a detention hearing Wednesday, Hiatt said. "This is totally inhumane. He's been tortured for days for no reason," Hiatt said.

Given a second chance when plate umpire Doug Eddings called strike three -- but not the third out -- Chicago beat the Los Angeles Angels 2-1 Wednesday night to even the best-of-seven American League Championship Series at a game apiece.
