Finally, he led Indianapolis to a 10-game improvement from his first 1998-1999 season.

Spinach to the rescue for health and convenience

There is nothing that puts a crimp in a healthful eating regime like the start of a new semester. The best of intentions are easily squelched by the need for expediency. Likewise, the ability to concentrate on the benefits of bran evaporates as the nightly reading list bulges beyond 200 pages.

College more than just career training

What are you here for in school? What are you here for in life? In a good college education the two questions are related. An education should prepare you for your whole life, not just a career. The voices advocating career preparation in the universities today are loud. Moreover, these loud voices are in danger of drowning out other voices ' voices of wisdom.

Yeagley helps bring soccer tournament to IPFW

FORT WAYNE ' After his team lost to Duke 8-0 at the Soccer Showcase at IU-Purdue University at Fort Wayne Sunday afternoon, IPFW coach Terry Stefankiewicz turned to the stands and thanked the crowd. Stefankiewicz later thanked IU men's soccer coach Jerry Yeagley for his help in drawing other highly touted teams to the inaugural tournament at the Division II school. Stefankiewicz said he came up with the idea for a preseason tournament that would feature nationally ranked teams more than two years ago. Getting sponsorship was difficult at first, but once IU joined the bill, no other teams rejected the offer, Stefankiewicz said.

Football could be going 'bowling'

I'm not too different from the everyday college football fan, except I get my thoughts published, so at least use me as a bathroom reader. Pick me up, read me, do your business and drop me.

But I will try to give some insight into IU's football program while introducing you to some of the unique Hoosier personalities and breaking down the team's strengths and weaknesses.

Let Nader debate

Construction: When will it end?

Let me set you up with the situation: It's about 4 p.m., you can see the humidity in the air, your car has no air conditioning and you have been gridlocked in standstill traffic for what seems like forever. It sounds like Chicago traffic on a Friday afternoon, but it isn't. I'm actually describing Bloomington, with its booming street and building construction.

Bus plan wastes students' money

The new bus plan passed by the board of trustees this summer will phase in expanded services for students during the course of the next three years. It includes universal access to Bloomington Transit, extended hours on weekends for both BT and campus services and additional campus buses. All of these services will be funded by a mandatory fee paid by all students, regardless of whether they use the bus service. Exemptions will only be made for a few students, such as those studying abroad. The added expense of these fees does not benefit most students, especially on-campus students who are now forced to subsidize the Bloomington Transit system. These on-campus students will still primarily use the campus bus, for which they must now still purchase an additional pass. Those off-campus students who walk, drive or live far from a BT bus stop are paying for nothing.
