Judo stresses discipline

·

When many people think of IU athletics, they think of basketball, football or soccer. But IU offers more than just these varsity sports. One such sport is judo.

Club hockey team pummels Illinois

·

It must have been a long ride back to Champaign for Illinois goalie David Altholz. Saving barely 80 percent of attempted Hoosier shots Friday night, the hockey club destroyed the University of Illinois' Division II team 8-1.

Coverdale cited for illegal consumption

·

Riding an emotional high after IU easily defeated Southern Illinois 85-63 Dec. 2, sophomore Tom Coverdale was cited for illegal consumption by Indiana State Police, his second alcohol offense of the year. Coverdale, 20, said he was embarrassed about the incident.

Hoosiers sweep Indiana Classic

·

Kyle Hornsby's teammates consider him the best shooter on IU's basketball team. In two games of the Indiana Classic, Hornsby proved that he truly is one of IU's best bombers.

Connecticut wins 2nd NCAA title

·

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- After Connecticut defender Chris Gbandi scored his game-winning goal in Sunday's final, he sprinted to the sidelines of Ericsson Stadium and pulled his white jersey over his face to display a white undershirt with a Superman logo.

Game a battle between underdogs

·

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Don't tell Creighton that five-time national champion IU is an underdog. And don't try to convince the Hoosiers that the Bluejays, who outscored IU 6-2 this season, are the sleeper team of the NCAA tournament.

Men's soccer not high enough on NCAA's priority list

·

So I'm sitting in the press box at Ericsson Stadium. I've filled up on complimentary BBQ beef, chicken sandwiches and soft drinks all weekend. I've eaten enough cookies to single-handedly keep those Keebler elves busy through February. I got the chance to broadcast a final four game in what can only be described as an extremely nice booth.

Yeagley builds IU tradition

·

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- All Jerry Yeagley wanted was a shot at varsity status. That was his final four in 1973 -- turning IU soccer into a varsity sport. He never thought that 28 years later he'd have the second highest career collegiate coaching victories, or that his teams would have competed in exactly half of the final four tournaments they had a chance to make. But Yeagley's teams have been that successful.

End of the streak

·

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Senior forward Matt Fundenberger dyed his hair blond for good luck before the men's soccer team left for Ericsson Stadium Wednesday. When he highlighted his locks in 1998 and '99, the Hoosiers won national titles.

IDEM releases findings on fish kill

·

The Indiana Department of Environmental Management has concluded that new state regulations wouldn't have prevented the White River fish kill last December. "We think the existing laws are sound and effective," said Tim Method, IDEM deputy commissioner.

Suburbanites not prejudiced or lost

·

While I understand Chris Edwards' lamentation and call to action for the American public to help small farmers (yeah -- keep fighting), I call to question several points in his article ("A new Great Depression," Dec. 5) that seem to rather disturb me.

Combining job roles creates conflict

·

As a former IUSA senator, I find it amazing that IUSA has sought to combine the positions of its chief justice and its election coordinator, and by such a large margin of votes. (It would seem that one person in all of Congress had the good sense to vote no to this idea.) Has it occurred to no one that the group that is supposed to oversee the Elections Commission is the Supreme Court, and that by making the leader of one also the leader of the other, IUSA is creating an undeniable conflict of interest?

Editorial confuses two separate problems

·

In your staff editorial on the environment from Dec. 6 ("America must compromise on environment"), you equate the depletion of the ozone layer with global warming. These are two separate problems.

Dissent wrong to support Ten Commandments

·

I read Ashley Keen's dissent to the staff editorial ("Commandments a vital document," Nov. 5) concerning this settlement concerning the posting of the Ten Commandments in Washington County's Courthouse, and found a couple points to be interestingly disturbing. She states that "we cannot alter history." This is true. However, we do not have to "proudly display" every detail. Our Founding Fathers not only believed that slavery should be legal; some of them profited greatly from it. Should we find a way to "proudly display" this fact along with these other documents because it provides "an example of the basis on which our Founding Fathers established the laws of this nation?" The argument for displaying the Ten Commandments because of the historical influence seems vaguely reminiscent of the argument that was used to fly the Confederate flag above the South Carolina state capitol.

Political Christmas cards

·

I am beginning to wonder if I'll get what I want for Christmas: a legitimately elected president. If not, I'll be happy enough if Santa remembers that I asked for peace in the Middle East.

An honor to serve

·

By the third week of publication, we were all seasoned veterans. By the fourth week, we were trying to catch up in classes. The Fall 2000 Indiana Daily Student staff wraps up its semester today. We've tried from the beginning to write about what matters -- from coverage of our soccer team's final four run to the local music scene. But 10 years from now, what we'll remember are two stories -- basketball legend Bob Knight's firing and the still undetermined presidential election. The irony is, at the beginning of the semester, I thought I missed the big basketball story. I spent my summer working at a newspaper in Frankfort, Ky. I watched the Neil Reed incident play out into Knight's agreement to abide by the zero-tolerance standard.

Media must rethink strategy

The NBC network announced Nov. 29 that it would rethink its reporting strategy in future elections, The Associated Press reported. It became the third major network, after ABC and the Fox News Channel, to make that decision, after strong criticism from the public and Capitol Hill about media coverage of the Nov. 7 election.
