By Jason Recker · Tuesday, Oct. 31,2000 11:25 p.m.

Friendly confines anywhere in the Big Ten? Hardly. Well, sometimes. Sometimes far from it. The women's volleyball team has yet to find any gymnasium, hall or arena overly cordial, not even their home turf -- University Gym.

The Rock gets hit hard

By Eric Talbot · Tuesday, Oct. 31,2000 11:24 p.m.

The most anticipated match on Monday Night Raw, held in Boston, was a steel-cage faceoff between Stone Cold Steve Austin and Rikishi. Austin handed Rikishi the whooping he promised to all his fans. After repeatedly hitting Rikishi with the door to the cage, he tossed him side to side, flinging him into the cage. Finally, Austin gave him his patented "Stone Cold Stunner" and then captured the victory.

Life on club rowing team expensive, but 'worth it'

By Alexis Silas · Tuesday, Oct. 31,2000 11:23 p.m.

When George Werres was a freshman, someone pulled him aside and said, "Hey, you're tall. Want to try rowing?" Now a sophomore, Werres wakes up every morning at 5:30 to meet the rest of the Crew Club at the Fine Arts Plaza by 6, and he gets back from crew practice at 8:30. He pays his dues for this privilege -- $100 a semester, plus race fees, and like all crew members, he buys his own equipment.

Indy last resort for art films

By Martin Tsai · Tuesday, Oct. 31,2000 11:20 p.m.

After the abrupt closing of Von Lee Theatre, the Kerasotes Theatres chain now forces moviegoers to go to Showplace East 11 to see arty independent films. Although there's a section in the theater's newspaper ad that is referred to as Showplace East Art, it's unclear just exactly how many screens in the theater are actually devoted to showing independent films each week. To make the matter even worse, it's unlikely you'll ever see more than one foreign language film playing there.

Candidates pander to the people

By Brian Zell · Tuesday, Oct. 31,2000 11:14 p.m.

Live from New York, it's Saturday night! With your guest host Aaaaaaybraham Lincolnnnnnn! Or, how about that Thomas Jefferson on the "Tonight Show with Jay Leno?" When he started talking about how the United States should be an agrarian society, I nearly fell out of my chair laughing.

Boy bands make men miserable

By Matt Csanyi · Tuesday, Oct. 31,2000 11:12 p.m.

The Backstreet Boys … Ricky Martin … Tom Jones. What do all of these "artists" have in common, besides sucking horribly? Women love them. Usually, personal taste is fun, although pointless, to discuss because people like all kinds of strange crap. But this is a situation in which the musical preference of an entire gender is not just bad; it is evil.

Opening the mailbag

Interviews with Mr. AIDS

By Mark A. Price · Tuesday, Oct. 31,2000 11:05 p.m.

It's all over but the analysis, the first job interview I've had as a positive person -- at least, this type of positive. I had the night-before jitters, not because of my qualities or qualifications, but because of revealing my HIV status during the interview. It was a baffling fear. My resume is covered with "HIV Live," HIV test counselor, HIV speaker, AIDS this and AIDS that.

Talk shows reach more voters

Tuesday, Oct. 31,2000 11:03 p.m.

Following President Bill Clinton's term, voters look at the election process and presidency in a different light. Fewer and fewer people go to the polls each year, proving the American public is turned off by sound bites and politics as usual. So in this election year, it stands to reason that presidential candidates have to go about reaching voters in a new and different way.

Head to head: Bush supports equal opportunity

By Alyson Brodsy and Willie Sutherland · Tuesday, Oct. 31,2000 7:33 p.m.

In the 1960s, the civil rights movement sought the assistance of government to protect the fundamental right that all men are created equal. But today's so-called "civil rights" groups and leaders have abandoned this principle. They fly in the face of equality, favoring preferential treatment for groups defined by race, gender or sexual orientation. This is wrong. An injustice cannot be cured with another injustice.

Eighth district debate successful

By Kara Salge · Tuesday, Oct. 31,2000 7:09 p.m.

Red, white and blue. The blue T-shirts of Dr. Paul Perry's supporters, the white limestone of the Monroe County Courthouse and the red T-shirts of John Hostettler's (R-8) supporters ' or the red of the so-called "bloody" eighth Congressional district race ' canvassed the lawn of the town square Saturday.
