Hoosiers battle Xavier tonight

By Alyson Brodsy and Ira Klapper · Thursday, Sept. 12,2002 1:09 a.m.

After a 3-1 setback at Cincinnati last week, the Hoosiers battle Xavier tonight at Bill Armstrong Stadium. The Hoosiers enter the game 1-2. The Hoosiers have allowed seven goals in their first three contests this year, and they need to improve their defense against the Musketeers, with conference play only a week away. "We need to solidify organization at the back and establish a rhythm," coach Mick Lyon said.

New QB for next game

By Alyson Brodsy and Tyler V. Hoeppner · Thursday, Sept. 12,2002 1:07 a.m.

Fifth-year senior Gibran Hamdan was named the starter at quarterback by coach Gerry DiNardo Tuesday. Hamdan will make his first career start for the Hoosiers Saturday against Kentucky. Hamdan will replace senior Tommy Jones who sustained a concussion in last Saturday's 40-13 loss to Utah. "I am going to play Gibran (Hamdan), we are going to start Gibran," DiNardo said. "Tommy (Jones) can't practice today, and I don't know that Tommy would be ready for the game. So obviously that plays into it, but Gibran is going to start in the game."

Sports serve as outlet on anniversary

By Alyson Brodsy and Nancy Armour · Thursday, Sept. 12,2002 1:05 a.m.

CHICAGO -- The colorful NL pennants that usually fly above the Wrigley Field scoreboard were gone, replaced by a lone American flag at half-staff. Songs such as "Let it Be" and "Bridge Over Troubled Water" played during batting practice instead of the usual bubblegum pop music. And the electronic message board carried a simple message: "We Shall Not Forget." "I first felt guilty about coming here to celebrate," fan Geraldine Mrozinski said before the Chicago Cubs' game against the Montreal Expos. "But once we got here, it seems like the perfect place to be. Here, we'll commemorate it in the proper way."

\'Rolling Requiem\' crosses campus

By Alyson Brodsy and Brandon Morley · Thursday, Sept. 12,2002 1:01 a.m.

Sept. 11, 2001, was equivalent to memories of Pearl Harbor and memories of the assassination of JFK. It was the MTV generation's shocking awakening to the world. In the year since the occurrence of Sept. 11, an event unmistakably scarring the minds and hearts of people around the world, several songs have become anthems capturing the emotions describing what we saw, as a collective mind, first hand.

Paranoia clouds minds

By Alyson Brodsy and Evan Ross · Thursday, Sept. 12,2002 1:01 a.m.

Due to events of the past summer, our nation is worried about safety. Not just the safety from unexpected terrorist attacks against our country, but safety against those who cannot seem to protect themselves -- our children. Too many children to remember, though each one a little tragedy of their own, have been kidnapped, raped or murdered at an alarming rate. But in our furor over the past few months to try and keep our children safe, we have become overprotective of them. This false overprotection will lead us to a false sense of fear that will permeate through our country and shroud us in a cloud of mistrust.

America remembers 'our friends'

By Alyson Brodsy and David Crary · Thursday, Sept. 12,2002 1:01 a.m.

At ground zero, the names took precedence, 2,801 of them read aloud, from Gordon Aamoth Jr. to Igor Zukelman. Patriotic resolve held sway at the Pentagon. And in a field near Shanksville, Pa., grief was partially offset by pride. At each of the three sites and in communities across the nation and world Wednesday, Americans and their allies relived the staggering events of one year ago and remembered those who died. "They were our neighbors, our husbands, our children, our sisters, our brothers and our wives. They were our countrymen and our friends. They were us," New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg told grieving families at the site of the World Trade Center.

Spinning their wheels

By Jake Rossman · Thursday, Sept. 12,2002 1 a.m.

The bikes that will litter the streets of Bloomington Saturday actually have nothing to do with Little 500. Rather, Saturday marks the 25th anniversary of one of Bloomington's first large-scale bicycle events of the season, the Hoosier Hills Tour.

IUSA letter lacked research

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, Sept. 12,2002 12:41 a.m.

Last week, IU Student Association representatives tried to stand up for students by addressing what they deemed an important issue concerning the relationship between IU students and the Bloomington Police Department. In writing a letter to the BPD, IUSA outlined and addressed the "problem" of officers excessively arresting intoxicated students "in and around bars," who choose to walk home instead of operating vehicles. The letter also stated there might be increased surveillance due to Princeton Review's poll, which the letter described as, "an online poll with little or no scientific value."

Hoosiers gather to remember Sept. 11 attacks

By Alyson Brodsy and Shannon Dinniny · Thursday, Sept. 12,2002 12:33 a.m.

From the mournful tolling of church bells to the planting of a single tree, Indiana residents poignantly commemorated the one-year anniversary of the terrorist attacks Wednesday by honoring both the victims and the A who labored in the aftermath.

Hulkamania never died, never will

By C. Warner Sills and Mike D’Avria · Thursday, Sept. 12,2002 12 a.m.

Hulk Hogan is a hero to many, and why wouldn't he be? In his early days he told kids to take their vitamins and say their prayers, he single-handedly made a fake sport into huge, profit-generating entertainment and he starred in amazing films like "Mr. Nanny" and "No Holds Barred." But if fans of Hogan and his films are feeling lonely without the Hulkster, no need to worry, because Terry Bollea (his real name) is back, now on DVD with a chronicle of his life and career as the most famous wrestler to ever get inside a ring.

Behind Bars

By Jamieson Hawkins · Thursday, Sept. 12,2002 12 a.m.

The life of a bartender: it's not easy. Dealing with drunken fights and customers demanding service are tasks with which Kilroy's bartender Sara Hounshell and manager/bartenders Eric Easton and Doug Lorgeree are all very familiar.

'Swimfan' drowns in mediocrity

By Parker Witman and Parker Wittman · Thursday, Sept. 12,2002 12 a.m.

Did you see the trailer for "Swimfan?" Well, if you did, then you've already seen the movie. Actually, as it turns out, you've seen an entirely more entertaining version of this pathetic teen "Fatal Attraction" rip-off. Really. While the 84-minute film (the filmmakers somehow actually believed it deserved to be that long) seemed to have an identity crisis, the two-and-a-half-minute trailer managed to fit every single plot element into a nice little bite-size package that posed no serious threat to your valuable time.

'Sunshine State' focuses on family

By By Jonathan Sanders and Jonathan Sanders · Thursday, Sept. 12,2002 12 a.m.

I went to see this film knowing nothing about the plot. Little did I know I was getting ready to see one of the better films of 2002. This film is an excellent example of how to build plot through the use of great characters. Throughout this film, you'll get to know dozens of people in this small Florida community, and most of them you won't forget.

Extra Blue Kind

By Jack M. Silverstein and Jack Silverstein · Thursday, Sept. 12,2002 12 a.m.

The members of the rock band Extra Blue Kind stand in a cramped basement. All four musicians are in their own worlds. They have been practicing for about ten minutes, riffing a little bit and playing two songs that they know well.

Locals lacking labels

By By Jonathan Sanders and Jonathan Sanders · Thursday, Sept. 12,2002 12 a.m.

Independent musicians are everywhere. For every band that makes it big, there are dozens more that are perfectly happy to play the bar scene and keep their local fans happy. This is about those artists, the ones who work the long hours to record their own music, then go right out and promote and distribute it themselves; those artists who choose to be independent, whether or not they've had contracts to turn down.

Turok dances with dinosaurs -- again

By Alex Toombs · Thursday, Sept. 12,2002 12 a.m.

Gamers who played the original "Turok" games for the Nintendo 64 eagerly awaited the release of "Turok: Evolution" on all next-gen platforms (me included), but by comparison, this game doesn't make the technological advances of the first two.

Pop artist actually writes own lyrics

By By Jonathan Sanders and Jonathan Sanders · Thursday, Sept. 12,2002 12 a.m.

Let me just air this right in the open. This album may not be what you think you need to hear. It may not even be the kind of style you normally enjoy. But don't let your biases against radio pop turn you against what is some of the best pop music I've heard in a long time. In the vein of fellow British artists Craig David and Robbie Williams, what Bedingfield has done with this album is bring some innovation to a tired genre.

Still alive and kickin' bluegrass

By Seth Forster · Thursday, Sept. 12,2002 12 a.m.

Old and in the Gray continues bringing traditional bluegrass about as close to the mainstream as it ever gets. This time out, banjo player and singer Herb Pedersen and upright bassist Bryn Bright are brought in to fill in some of the gaps left with Jerry Garcia's passing. So even though the name has changed ever so slightly (they're typically credited as "Old and in the Way"), this is for the most part the same band.

This ain't a PG-13 world

By -Alec Toombs · Thursday, Sept. 12,2002 12 a.m.

Remember back in the '80s and early '90s when filmmakers rarely shied away from sex and violence? I do. But now, studio suits and hacks are more concerned with the bottom line as opposed to the quality of the flicks they're producing, spurring tepid, sanitized cinematic works to appease the masses in our post-Sept. 11 climate. Gutless filmmaking is currently in vogue, and I for one am dissatisfied.
