Leveling the playing field

By Adam Aasen · Tuesday, Feb. 14,2006 1:25 a.m.

"Women need not apply." It was those four words that convinced former U.S. Sen. Birch Bayh to change America. They say behind every powerful man is a great woman and Bayh, an IU School of Law alumnus and Indiana native, knows this to be true. His wife, Marvella, had been like his campaign manager. Marvella, the daughter of a wheat farmer, already had a list of achievements when she met Birch in December of 1951. In Oklahoma, she was a straight "A" student, the first female president of her student body, governor of Oklahoma Girls' State, president of Girls' Nation and had met President Truman. "It was love at first sight," said Bayh, now 78.

Davis criticizes detractors

By Brian Janosch · Tuesday, Feb. 14,2006 1:15 a.m.

As Hoosier coach Mike Davis continues to try to fulfill his job description and coach basketball, he finds himself continually answering questions about his job -- not his team. For the second day in a row, Davis' comments made national headlines as he addressed the media during a Big Ten teleconference. "It doesn't make any sense," he said. "I've been under fire for the past weeks by not just the fans, but the media. And we were one game out of first place during that time. We were ranked in the top 20 during that time." Davis compared recent circumstances to Orlando Magic star Steve Francis under achieving amid trade rumors, or a family being nervous about a company downsizing.
