The changes also meant new policies for the Marching Hundred -- a seat change, more distant parking spots, new uniforms and changes to the traditional run-on. While the sides had resolved some of the issues, they were working toward a resolution on the rest when McNeely resigned Friday.

By Alyson Brodsy and Andy Yates · Monday, Nov. 11,2002 11:42 p.m.

The other day, my good friend Mike turned 21. He called me, of course, in his newly legal drunken stupor, which I didn't expect. I should have known better. As I walked along the calm Bloomington sidewalk, I was excited to see his name on my cell phone's caller ID. We had toyed with the idea of dating back when he was toying with anything he could snort up his nose. It was a tumultuous relationship to say the least, one that left me emotionally drained and probably scarred for life.
