Campus needs improvement

By Jake Oakman · Tuesday, Feb. 20,2001 12:09 a.m.

The decision to run in the IU Student Association election is not one to be entered into selfishly, nor is it to be taken lightly. There must be a selfless commitment to serving the student body and a clear attempt to use the power of IUSA to accomplish practical goals to improve student life and the campus as a whole.

By Chris Edwards · Tuesday, Feb. 20,2001 12:08 a.m.

Every now and then, I get an e-mail or a letter from someone asking me how to be funny. "Chris," they say, "I'm just an ordinary schlep, girls don't like me and my friends all make fun of me. How can I be funny like you? What's the secret to writing a humor column?"

IUPD offers officer training to students

By Matt Covele · Monday, Feb. 19,2001 11:51 p.m.

It seems everybody played cops and robbers as a child, holding a plastic gun and sprinting after a buddy while screaming, "Freeze! Police. Put up your hands!" To some students, these are memories better left in the past. For others, these games were the beginning of a career in law enforcement.

'Showboat' a painful experience

Monday, Feb. 19,2001 11:48 p.m.

Thursday evening, I missed "Survivor." For the first time, I'm not sure watching "Survivor" would have been the greater evil. I braved fog and rain to make the 60-minute drive to Bloomington to see "Show Boat." During the Chicago run several years ago, I attended no less than five performances. The show became one of my all-time favorites. Nothing but fond memories of "Show Boat."

She said she was going to swim the best she ever has this weekend. She was off to a good start Thursday night. "I know I'm going to wake up tomorrow and be like, 'Wait, it's Thursday, I have to do the 50,' because I feel like I'm dreaming right now." Cristy said.

By Sarah Trotto · Monday, Feb. 19,2001 1:52 p.m.

WEST LAFAYETTE -- Whenever a lazy pass flew her way, she snatched it from the air. If a smaller opponent stood in her way of the basket, she stepped to the side and nailed a shot. In the eighth annual Barn Burner game, Purdue's Camille Cooper exposed IU's rebounding weaknesses and took advantage of the Hoosiers' early foul trouble. She scored 25 points and was named the game's most valuable player in the Boilermakers' (23-4, 13-1 Big Ten) blowout win 87-46.

IU dominates Michigan

By Sara Meinecke and Sarah Meinecke · Monday, Feb. 19,2001 1:06 a.m.

After Thursday night's 41-point loss at Purdue, coach Kathi Bennett said the team needs to play harder to get a win against Michigan. Sunday, the team did play harder, and squashed Michigan 73-51. "We were all focused," junior forward Erin McGinnis said. Not only did the Hoosiers (17-8, 8-6 Big Ten) halt a team that had won seven of its last eight Big Ten games, they also ended the optimism Michigan (16-10, 9-6 Big Ten) carried since upsetting No. 25 Iowa Thursday.
