Athletics department just can't seem to get it right Stupid is as stupid does, or so it seems at the athletic department. Their new multi-million dollar plan (which is really just a modification of the one proposed two years ago) demonstrates the same level of stupidity that led to the department's record structural deficit, actual deficit and the implementation of the student athletics fee.

A politics of exclusion

By Alyson Brodsy and Tony Sams · Sunday, July 11,2004 9:25 p.m.

Marriage in the United States shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman. Neither this Constitution, nor the constitution of any State, shall be construed to require that marriage or the legal incidents thereof be conferred upon any union other than the union of a man and a woman." Fifty-three potent words comprise the Federal Marriage Amendment, a punitive, unnecessary, mean-spirited concept which this week aims to become the 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. It's not just marriage that it aims to keep from homosexuals, either.

The Aura satellite was to have been launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base at 3:01 a.m. PDT Sunday aboard a two-stage Boeing Delta II rocket.

Finding director no. 1 priority

By Alyson Brodsy · Sunday, July 11,2004 9:24 p.m.

Pending approval from the IU board of trustees, it appears the poor IU athletics department may stumble upon a bit of money -- a bit of $65 million. This newly-found cash, paid for in entirely private donations, will not be put toward the structural deficit. It will be used to expand Memorial Stadium and create new facilities for eight of IU's athletics teams. It provides a hefty amount of budgetary fodder we could easily complain about.

Avoid a player's eyes

By Alyson Brodsy and Joanna Penn · Sunday, July 11,2004 9:23 p.m.

The day was Tuesday. The temperature was unbearable, and I was stuck at a stoplight listening to Avril Lavigne, who was on every station. I thought my day couldn't get worse, and then I listened to the words. Avril Lavigne was chanting my last relationship in cheesy pop form, and since most of America has heard the "Don't Tell Me" tune, I thought, being the goodwill ambassador that I am, I should warn the campus of the man behind the lyrics.

President plans measure against gay marriage

By Alyson Brodsy and Pete Yost · Sunday, July 11,2004 9:23 p.m.

WASHINGTON -- President Bush says legalizing gay marriage would redefine the most fundamental institution of civilization and that a constitutional amendment is needed to protect it. A few activist judges and local officials have taken it on themselves to change the meaning of marriage, Bush said Saturday in his weekly radio address.

Palestinians, Israelis react to Hague ruling

By Alyson Brodsy and Michael Zennie · Sunday, July 11,2004 9:22 p.m.

JERUSALEM -- Israelis and Palestinians were lining up support for a showdown at the United Nations over Israel's planned security barrier in the West Bank, while violence erupted in the Gaza Strip and four Palestinians were killed. Palestinians and the Arab world were elated by a nonbinding world court ruling Friday that declared the barrier illegal and said it should be dismantled.

Moore's unfocused message

By Alyson Brodsy · Sunday, July 11,2004 9:22 p.m.

I saw "Fahrenheit 9/11," Michael Moore's controversial polemic against the Bush administration and the real motives behind the war in Iraq. I wasn't impressed. I don't mean I disliked it. Moore makes some good points, which, although fairly obvious, don't get a lot of press, and there is some mildly powerful and interesting footage in the film. It's worth five bucks for a matinee show, but it's just not documentary film at its best.

Dancing with national pride

By -Kehla West and Alyson Brodsy · Sunday, July 11,2004 9:17 p.m.

SALAMANCA, Spain -- First, an admission: I didn't realize it was the Fourth of July until 11 p.m. that evening, and it took a drunk Spaniard to remind me. (I'm doing things on European time.) I'm a terrible American. I didn't light any firecrackers, I didn't wear red, white or blue, and I didn't muse on my citizenship until late in the evening. I did, however, go to the bars. Yes, it was a Sunday, but I went to church that morning, so it balanced. Praying, shoe-shopping and drinking constitute the Spanish triathlon.

Ashton dorm to house fraternity

By Karen Green · Sunday, July 11,2004 9:16 p.m.

The Weatherly wing in Ashton Quad has been vacant this summer, but a recent agreement with Kappa Sigma fraternity will have the building full again in the fall. "(The fraternity) approached us about the possibility of living as groups in our residence hall," said Patrick Connors, executive director of Residential Programs and Services. "We decided that we would use Weatherly for that."

Are you having a 2.4 day?

By Alyson Brodsy and Emily Cooper · Sunday, July 11,2004 9:14 p.m.

I don't know how the subject of bad days came up in conversation, because I was having anything but a bad day. Perched on a wooden bench on a bluff overlooking the glistening rolls of Lake Erie, I sat with a delightful gentleman enjoying the same seat and view. Among other professions, he told me he is a teacher at a prison in a town south of Cleveland, Ohio. He told me a story that occurred on a test day in one of his classes.

IU student comes in 3rd at Miss Gay Indiana pageant

By Jenica Schultz · Sunday, July 11,2004 9:13 p.m.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Returning senior Chris Grooms put on his makeup, donned a wig, zipped on a white Elvis-styled jumpsuit covered in gem stones and stepped onto the Talbott Street Theater stage in Indianapolis Friday as his drag persona Miss Bianca Defy at the 26th annual Miss Gay Indiana USA pageant. Grooms placed third and won the Glamour award in what was his first state pageant. "For his first Miss Indiana pageant, I think he did exceptionally well," said Grooms' roommate and recent IU graduate Andrew Rehrig.

'Twelfth Night' is uniquely entertaining

By Kacie Leblong · Sunday, July 11,2004 9:12 p.m.

The cast, ages nine to 15, sparkled with heart and energy, lending a youthful enthusiasm to the well-known words of William Shakespeare.

Mid-summer classic whiffs

By Jeff Fuldauer · Sunday, July 11,2004 9:06 p.m.

Who else out there is not excited about watching the All-Star game? "This time it counts" is the slogan MLB is running for the 2004 showcase. But the real slogan should read: "This time it counts … toward profit margins and TV ratings," because that's the extent of what baseball fans will get in an exhibition game that Commissioner Bud Selig has successfully ruined.

From the sidelines to the studio

By Bill Meehan · Sunday, July 11,2004 9:02 p.m.

Lee Corso, IU's football coach from 1973-1982, owned a career highlighted by the school's first bowl victory in 75 years, a 38-37 decision over previously unbeaten Brigham Young in the 1979 Holiday Bowl. After 28 years of coaching football, Corso joined ESPN in 1987, where he serves as a game analyst for the Thursday night telecasts and as a studio analyst for College "GameDay" as well as the halftime and scoreboard shows. He also is director of business development for Dixon Ticonderoga in Florida. The following are excerpts from a recent phone interview with the famous coach.
