Chapman: All he needs is love

Myles Brand and Kent Harvey are near the top of the "People I really don't want to be this week" list. But both pale in comparison to number one ' our humanitarian friend Mark David Chapman.

The yuppification of nudist arson

There are a few things in life that I'd like to do. I'd like to convince the editors at the Village Voice to allow me to report on the Mets. I'd like to discover a cure for sickle cell anemia, feed and clothe the homeless, find inner peace and come up with a really great recipe for beef cannelloni.

Night of Decades

So what parties are we going to be fashionably late to this weekend? Why not have a party themed after a certain decade?

This week in music

Band of the Week

Coyote Kilroy

The line of students snakes down the street and around the corner. As they get ready to enter the bar, it's easy to see why it is the second largest in Indiana. It's not even the weekend yet, and tonight 17 Kilroy's Sports bartenders will serve 1,500 people.

Alumni donations in question following Knight termination

Bob Knight not only help the University on the courts, but off the courts as well. Knight made an effort to raise money for athletics and academics. Not only is the basketball program almost completely funded by outside donations, but Knight made large yearly personal contributions to the Main Library as well.

Harvey said he meant no disrespect, wants normal life

It was the house of cards that coaching legend Bob Knight built. And all it took to knock it down was a slip of the tongue. Kent Harvey said he didn't mean any disrespect. He saw Knight as he and three friends were walking through a corridor in Assembly Hall.

Thousands present for Coach's departure

Thousands of IU students turned out Wednesday night to show enthusiasm for Bob Knight, who said he has always prided himself on supporting and representing the student body.

Knight bids farewell

“The General” had his last stand Wednesday night in front of more than 6,000 people. Coach Knight bid IU goodbye in an emotional speech in Dunn Meadow. Bob Knight fans and protesters from across the region turned out to hear what he had to say. Knight addressed everything from his future plans to the reason for his termination.

An apathetic art form

So, heard of any big news lately? I was going to write a column about the Coach Knight situation, but then I remembered that you guys have heard, seen, read and said it all. It's not like I'm going to unearth some new outlook that will make everyone in America say, "Oh! What an insightful writer. Now my whole viewpoint has changed!" And what do I know about basketball, anyway? So I will go ahead and write about something else.

Demonstrations defeat purpose of college

It's the fourth day since the incident, and I am still ashamed. And no, I'm not ashamed of our University's president or its former basketball coach. I'm ashamed to call myself an Indiana University student.

Knight right to tell students to move on

Former basketball coach Bob Knight addressed the student body Wednesday, telling students he would eventually move on to a new coaching position and to other chapters of his life. He urged students to move on, too ' to keep supporting the basketball team without him and to take advantage of the unique opportunities this University provides.

Students should support tough choice

Let me preface this with the statement that I'm a strong college basketball fan. I love the game. I've watched "Mr. Knight" over a number a years. To be very truthful I've always thought of him as an embarrassment to the game, I don't care what school you attend(ed). The man will not control himself (the very thing he asks his student athletes to do). His tantrums will always outweigh his "good record and many wins".

Tantrums outweigh good record

I am writing to voice my full, undivided support of President Brand's decision to remove Mr. Knight from his position as head men's basketball coach. As an alumnus of Indiana University, and an employee, I believe that the decision of President Brand and the board of trustees was in the best interests of the University.

Tantrums outweigh good record

Students should stay on victims' side

Unfortunately for those who have been abused and humiliated by Bob Knight over the years, he was not fired soon enough.

Knight's off-court behavior bad

Coach Knight was one of those charismatic, schizoid talents you love to hate and hate to love.

It's Coach Knight to you

I am outraged by the recent IDS headline "Knight fired." It should read "Mr. Knight Fired" or "Coach Knight fired."

Public, alumni don't buy Knight's excuses

As an IU alumna, I am appalled by the smug, laughing faces of protesting students plastered across Internet news sites along with their representative remarks in the newspapers.
