No music, no problem

By K James Sward · Wednesday, Sept. 11,2002 8:58 p.m.

A cappella gives me a break from the flood of "pseudo angry girl skater chick" music that has dominated the radio in recent months. I admittedly enjoy the soulful, guitar/piano-infused music from artists like Michelle Branch, Vanessa Carlton and Avril Lavigne, but they have dominated my summer music-listening. BOCA 2002 is my oasis in the desert.

Still alive and kickin' bluegrass

By Seth Forster · Wednesday, Sept. 11,2002 8:56 p.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.

'Best College Band' soars with debut

By By Jonathan Sanders and Jonathan Sanders · Wednesday, Sept. 11,2002 8:55 p.m.

What more did Pseudopod need to do to prove themselves? They've toured extensively since 1998, pausing to earn their college degrees and to win the title of "Best College Band In America," as named by Rolling Stone and iuma.com. But to say they'd reached their pinnacle would be pure self delusion.

Locals lacking labels

By By Jonathan Sanders and Jonathan Sanders · Wednesday, Sept. 11,2002 8:45 p.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.

Extra Blue Kind

By Jack M. Silverstein · Wednesday, Sept. 11,2002 8:43 p.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.

One year later

By Alyson Brodsy · Wednesday, Sept. 11,2002 6:33 p.m.

No matter where in the world, no matter what the situation, a Hoosier's somehow involved. We learn that lesson every day. Unfortunately, Sept. 11, 2001, was no exception. Three IU students lost their fathers, and others we knew also died in New York, Washington and the fields outside Pittsburgh.

War on Iraq justified

By Cherry Blattert · Wednesday, Sept. 11,2002 2:18 a.m.

If your neighbor was pointing a cannon at your house, would you: A) throw on a "Hugs, Not Arms" tee and wait for your neighbor to come over and join you in a round of "Kum Bay Yah" or B) take a defensive course of action instead, knowing that your neighbor may soon blow your house out of the water?

Salt Creek dams to aid in ongoing search

By Tim Street · Wednesday, Sept. 11,2002 2:13 a.m.

As the construction of two dams being built to drain a 7,000-foot section of Salt Creek neared completion Tuesday, the coordinator of the two-year investigation into the disappearance of Jill Behrman, FBI Special Agent Gary Dunn, was emotional about the possibility of bringing the case to a close.

A campus remembers

By Holly Johnson and Holy Johnson · Wednesday, Sept. 11,2002 2:13 a.m.

The flags fluttering at half staff today will be the first indication that something has changed, followed by the four peals of bells at midmorning: 8:45 a.m., 9:30 a.m., 9:40 a.m. And finally, nearly one year and two hours after network newsreels showed a disbelieving public the sort of nightmarish destruction extremist terrorist networks are capable of, the Metz carillon will send out one last lonely call at 10:37 a.m. With each tone, the campus community will be reminded of that which it can never forget -- the four attacks on American soil composing the events of Sept. 11.

Stormy ride for economy

By Michael Eisenstadt · Wednesday, Sept. 11,2002 2:10 a.m.

Self-confidence and optimism keep Mike Weichman from becoming discouraged. The depressed job market has directly affected him. A tumultuous year beginning with the Sept. 11 attacks and including public disclosure of bad accounting practices by several major corporations jarred an already reeling economy.

Around the game

Christopher released from team

Hamdan named starter

By Alyson Brodsy · Wednesday, Sept. 11,2002 1:50 a.m.

Coach Gerry DiNardo announced at a press conference yesterday that senior Gibran Hamdan would start Saturday against Kentucky. Hamdan and senior Tommy Jones had been ensconced in a quarterback competition prior to the season, but Jones started the Hoosier's first two games.

Forward returns; Hoosiers gain second win

By Zach Rocha · Wednesday, Sept. 11,2002 1:49 a.m.

The boys were back together again. For the first time in 2002, IU forwards Pat Noonan and Mike Ambersley started a regular season game on the frontline. Granted, it was not an astonishing debut for the two strikers who both attended the same high school, but the onfield chemistry that was created some five years ago at DeSmet Jesuit High School near St. Louis, Mo. was still visible.

Hoosier offense comes alive with two goals

By Colin Nowling · Wednesday, Sept. 11,2002 1:48 a.m.

It may not have been pretty, but the IU men's soccer team picked up its second victory Tuesday with a 2-0 win over Louisville. The No. 9 ranked Hoosiers dominated ball control and possession throughout the match, but managed just two goals on the Cardinals' stingy defense. IU (2-1-2) posted 13 shots to Louisville's four and the Hoosiers had eight corner kick opportunities to the Cardinals' one. Louisville (2-3) used physical play to frustrate the Hoosiers' offensive attack as they committed a total of 26 fouls to IU's 15.

'United We Stand'

By John Rodgers · Wednesday, Sept. 11,2002 1:47 a.m.

For most Americans, the date Sept. 11 manifests a multitude of feelings. From thoughts of loss and fear to an inspired sense of patriotism and national unity, Americans faced the tragedy and dealt with it in their own way. One year later, coach Amy Robertson and the field hockey team still use the emotions and a motto provoked by Sept. 11 to inspire greater team unity.

Sept. 11 hits close to home for fullback, coach

By Alex Hickey · Wednesday, Sept. 11,2002 1:46 a.m.

For most Americans, Sept. 11 has become a landmark that is vividly cemented in their memories. Just as generations before remember where they were when John F. Kennedy was assassinated, or what they were doing when the Challenger exploded, people of all generations can clearly recollect what they were doing when the news that the World Trade Center was struck by two planes reached them.

Knight suit deadline extended

By Alyson Brodsy · Wednesday, Sept. 11,2002 1:13 a.m.

Former IU Basketball Coach Bob Knight now has one more month to decide whether or not to sue IU over his dismissal two years ago. Before the extension, Knight was supposed to have taken legal action by Monday. Now, Knight and his attorney, Russell Yates, will have until Oct. 11 to make a final decision.

Study released

By Samantha Thompson · Wednesday, Sept. 11,2002 1:12 a.m.

Jerry Springer has become an icon of pop culture. His daytime TV talk show has been on the air since the mid-90s and has found quite a following, possibly more for its outrageous guests than its moral content. But according to one new IU study, when tuning in to see the latest incestuous love triangle, or to find out that David's secret life includes women's underwear and his lover Paul, viewers are also receiving a dose of morality.

Lounge closed to students

By Jackie Corgan · Wednesday, Sept. 11,2002 1:11 a.m.

Last year, students entering the ground floor of Ballantine Hall were greeted with the occasional smell of popcorn and the murmur of students going in and out of the front lounge. This year, the double doors on either end of the room are closed off. They're locked and bear signs that ward off students letting them know the room is for faculty and staff only. The room is now a quiet haven for key-holders to enjoy the increased privacy and air conditioning to hold meetings, grade papers and work on course tasks.

RA's offer support today to dorm residents

By Jamie Lusk · Wednesday, Sept. 11,2002 1:09 a.m.

Sept. 11 is a day that will be etched in the minds of Americans forever. For many students on campus, the one-year anniversary of this tragic event will be a difficult day. If students who live in residence halls are having a hard time, they have many people with whom to talk.
