Not a complete loss for IU

·

The tinmen of the IU football team discovered Oz in Kentucky Saturday and found their hearts. Despite losing 27-17 to the Wildcats, the Hoosiers showed more fight and enthusiasm than they had in the previous two games combined. After getting behind 14-0 in the first quarter, and then having to wait while lightning delayed the game, it would have been easier, and not surprising, had the Hoosiers given up. Instead, IU came out fighting, and nearly upset Kentucky. So here are this week's awards following the disappointing loss.

'We're So Famous' lacks real life feel

·

Any man who tries to demystify the female experience is either very brave, or very foolish. Sadly, the latter is the case in Jaimie Clarke's novel, "We're So Famous." In a tale of three young, star-struck women looking for fame, Clarke has a wonderful vehicle for exploring the feminine mind and a terrific chance to entertain his readers. Unfortunately, he does not rise to the challenge of cross-gender writing and in his attempts to tell a story from a woman's point of view, he fails miserably.

Americans don't know enough

·

As the month of September began, Americans quietly prepared for the anniversary of the most devastating terrorist attack in our history. And when the 11th arrived, most of us watched at least one of the hundreds of special television programs, or read at least one of the thousands of newspaper articles. We may have remembered Sept. 11 in different ways, but as Americans we all stood together in solidarity; as Americans last Wednesday was a time for us to grieve together, as one nation, as one people.

Corvette 'absurd idea'

·

The idea to purchase a $60,000 automobile in an attempt to sway the state legislature into appropriating more funds for IU, while creative and news worthy, does not pass the common sense test.

Put egos aside for once

·

Would it be self-righteous of me to say that self-righteous people really make me sick? I say this because self-righteous people have been the root cause of many of the world's problems, from war to famine to religious conflict.

'Vote Hard' misses point

·

The executive branch of the IU Student Association is well on its way to becoming professional politicians. After deciding to bribe student votes with a sweepstakes for a $60,000 Corvette, they have decided to throw in an extra $5,000 a piece for two "scholarships" for the second- and third-place contestants in its "Vote Hard" campaign. "Scholarships" is in quotation marks because it's really just another form of voter bribery masked as a positive initiative. IUSA is making its U.S. Congressperson proud with the spin they are putting on this.

Blood drive surpasses goals

·

On the anniversary of Sept. 11, 44 members of the Bloomington community became heroes. Each of the 44 heroes saved the lives of three people, and they were saved because these members of the community went to College Mall and gave blood. "It's just amazing, the donors are not getting anything in return except the knowledge that they are saving lives," said Mike Elsner, the donor recruitment representative for the River Valley region of the Red Cross, who was in charge of the College Mall Blood Drive. "Our expectations were met and exceeded." The goal for the Sept. 11 drive was 35 pints of blood and after receiving 44 pints, they were forced to send the overflow of donors to their main office on 7th and Grant streets.

Frats open doors for men's fall rush

·

On Friday, Dunn Meadow was filled with students throwing Frisbees, tossing footballs and wandering aimlessly as freshmen males flooded the field to register for men's fall rush. Freshmen Jason Mullins and Ryan Smith are two such men who took part in the event in order to educate themselves about which fraternities could be the right ones for them. "I'm looking for brotherhood," Mullins said. "Making close friends that last a lifetime. I don't want to join a house where all the people do is party. I don't want to fail or flunk."
