Leaving no student behind

Friday, Sept. 20,2002 2:46 a.m.

U.S. Secretary of Education and IU alumnus Rod Paige came to IU Thursday to reassure the School of Education that despite Sept. 11, President Bush has not lost sight of his pledge to leave no child behind. "He is busy right now fighting terror, maybe preparing for war," Paige said. "But even while he is building an international coalition, he is building a bipartisan coalition for the improvement of America's schools." In his speech to faculty and students in the Education Building, Paige applauded the University for involving the College of Arts and Sciences in teacher training.

IU weighs requiring freshmen to live in dorms

Friday, Sept. 20,2002 2:46 a.m.

Chancellor Sharon Brehm will ask the board of trustees today to require that freshmen live on-campus in their first year at IU. The move, if approved, would alter living plans of nearly 400 incoming freshmen in the fall of 2003. Brehm said the University will be able to accommodate more on-campus residents. For the past two years, some freshmen were forced into dorm lounges while bed space was made available. Freshmen on campus will increase retention rates and help new students acclimate to the college experience, Brehm said.

'It's almost like God is cleaning house'

Friday, Sept. 20,2002 2:46 a.m.

Many find church to be a place of comfort. People find themselves at peace, gently cradled between the stained-glass windows -- the colors beaming down and embracing them in their warmth. That's why it comes as a shock when these walls seem to crumble -- when tales of corruption among those entrusted invade churchgoers' comfort zones. Priests, holy leaders who have frequent contact with youths, have promised lives of celibacy. They preach the Bible, telling others to live lives as God would want them to live. But when nearly 200 of the country's 46,000 Catholic priests have been accused of sexual abuse, people start to notice.

Progress is coming to Jeff Palmer's neighborhood. Palmer, an IU biology professor, said the school's life sciences are in desperate need of more room.

UNITED NATIONS -- Saddam Hussein told the United Nations in a speech read Thursday by his foreign minister that Iraq is free of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons. It was the first comments attributed to the Iraqi leader since Iraq's surprise announcement this week that it would accept the unconditional return of international weapons inspectors nearly four years after they left. The decision, which followed a tough speech on Iraq last week by President Bush, has divided the major powers on the U.N. Security Council.

TEL AVIV, Israel -- A Palestinian blew himself up on a crowded bus Thursday in downtown Tel Aviv, killing at least five other people and wounding 49, the second suicide bombing in two days.

The driver, his body blackened, slumped at the wheel. Passengers jumped out of shattered windows.
