THROUGH THE GATES he Sample Gates, which flank the western boundary of campus, look onto the Old Crescent area. Through this portal, one can see into the rich history of the University and its wealth of diversity in culture, idea and purpose, which joins students together to create a distinct university atmosphere. Lovers could be found kissing in the Well House as the clock tower chimed midnight, while others could be found at the performance of "The Nutcracker," which had the highest attendance of any event on campus — except football and basketball games. Students received a taste of a computer-aided society while registering for the first time via computer. Terminals lined Franklin Hall, providing up-todate information on closed classes and waitlist options. The new process eliminated annoying bubble sheets and allowed students to have an on-line schedule of classes. Some hoped the new registration process would cut down on the numbers of students venturing en masse to the Wildermuth gym in the HPER for the dreaded drop and add. Many students attended and participated in IU Sing. For Pi Kappa Phi and Zeta Tau Alpha, many long hours of tedious rehearsals paid off when the chapters won the overall category. The student-produced event enabled many to participate in friendly competition.

THROUGH THE GATES IU Sing was not the only event in which Greeks participated. Greekfest, which was held in a rain-soaked Dunn Meadow, also brought students together to compete in egg tossing and mudchurning tug-of-war events. Proceeds were donated to the United Way. As IU provided an education for students, some used these tools to provide a service to the community. Students involved in the Student Literacy Corps enrolled in a class to teach people how to read. The students then applied this knowledge by tutoring people in the community. Another organization traveling beyond the gates was the IU Student Association. On Oct. 16, some students traveled to counter-demonstrate at the Ku Klux Klan rally at the Indiana Statehouse. Tempers flared and flags were burned as protesters and demonstrators exchanged threats. As some issues called students in from outside the gates, others hit them where they lived. The University's ban on smoking throughout the Bloomington campus — including the Union, classrooms, administration offices, stadium and some residence halls. However, most found ways around the ban, and continued puffing on their way to class, outside the Union and other buildings.

THROUGH THE GATES member Dance Marathon committee synchronized 500 dancers, who stayed on their feet for the 36-hour fundraiser, with all profits going to the Ryan White Infectious Disease Center at Riley Hospital. Students often ventured through the Sample Gates to cheer on the Hoosiers in athletic events. The football team received a first-ever Independence Bowl bid, although they were defeated by Virginia Tech, 45-20. The men's soccer team received a top seed in the NCAA tournament. But after coming off a victory against Memphis State, the team lost in a shutout to Wisconsin, 0-1 — a team they had manhandled 5-1 earlier in the season. The men's basketball team finished its season with a third-place ranking in the Big Ten and a No. 5 seed in the NCAA tourney. Although the Hoosiers were eliminated in the Sweet Sixteen, they never gave up, playing through the season bruised and battered, suffering several serious injuries. The number of varsity teams was also expanded to 19 when the women's soccer team switched from club to varsity status. The team amassed a 12-6 record despite the adversity of being a predominantly freshman squad and beginning a new varsity team. Back and forth through these gates, students have found joy in victory and despair in loss, but the experiences they share bring to life the essence of IU. •

Yolanda King brings a message of hope for a cure for racism

her late father, Yolanda King set the tone for the message she came to deliver. "Either we learn to live together as brothers and sisters, or die together as fools," she said. The cautious mingling in the crowd constituted a fitting foreground to the theme of the evening's speech — multi-cultural diversity. But more than this, Yolanda King, the eldest child of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., highlighted the hindering effects of shying away from embracing diversity in everyone's daily lives. "Nobody is completely free of racism," King said. "People want to belong, to feel secure and in control. They seek the 'normal' and reject the different seeing it as inferior, weird or ugly." Born in Montgomery, Ala., two weeks before Rosa
Parks triggered the Montgomery Bus Boycott, which led to the civil rights movement in the South, Yolanda King has been in the midst of the struggle for civil rights her entire life. King's delivery was dramatic, flowing and piercingly clear. "The horror of segregation and lynching seems like ancient history to us now," King said, "but because of the organized struggle, which emerged during the '50s and '60s, black, white, brown, yellow and red students can attend any university together ... that is, provided they can afford it." King called to each person to act in his or her own way to curb racism. "She kind of geared it toward students; it's up to us to make a difference," sophomore Kelly Gleason said. Turning to the larger
picture, King called upon students to reassess one of the fundamentals of American culture — the image of the "Melting Pot." "But people don't melt," King said, "America is more like a mosaic. It's not the difference who is substandard or un-American, it is the standard which is wrong. We must focus on the difference until difference doesn't make a difference!" This elicited a burst of applause. "I thought she was really motivational. I just wish more people would have beer able to see her," senior Craig Sherrod said. King ended her address with Maya Angelou's poem, "And Still I Rise." She captured the audience, as if holding them in her palm, carrying them high up with her as she described the fortitude of the soul in the face of humiliation.

Fraternities and sororities join to benefit United Way and promote Greek unity
12 CALENDAR
From Sept. 18-23, Greek unity strove to reach new heights. For almost a week, Greeks ran around all over campus, from Dunn Meadow to HPER, from Dunk the Dean to aerobics. Many students joined together in this fund-raising event that benefited United Way. Donating $8,000 and creating a more cohesive Greek community were just two of the goals of Greekfest. In an effort to increase Greek unity, chapters joined together to form teams — a new twist to the games. "I met a lot of new people at all of the activities," said sophomore Samantha Blond, from Delta Delta Delta. Each team, comprised of three or four houses, competed in a variety of activities. Some of the competitions included ultimate Frisbee®, coed flag football and a slam-dunk contest. Each team entered Z
two runners in the annual 4.2 mile Greek Run, which began and finished at Showalter Fountain. The festivities began with a banner contest and ended with Pizza Express donating 360 pizzas for the Miss-AMeal program, which occurred in each fraternity and sorority, as well as in the dorms. Proceeds went to United Way. Although the week's activities were packed with people, Thursday night drew the largest crowd. On that dreary night, roughly 1,200 people arrived at a drenched Dunn Meadow for The Chosen Few concert. Here, Sigma Chi, Chi Phi, Alpha Omicron Pi, Phi Delta Theta and Kappa Delta Rho were announced as the Greekfest winners. Seniors John Lawrenz from Acacia and Mary Susan Hershberger of Chi Omega were crowned Greekfest king and queen. Many members of the
Greek community worked collectively for this cause. Approximately $6,000 was raised. All of the proceeds, after the initial Greekfest costs are subtracted, were donated to United Way, which is sometimes called an "umbrella organization" because it encompasses 26 charitable organizations — some of the most prevalent causes being Boys & Girls Club, Middle Way House, Community Kitchen and Big Brothers/Big Sisters. This allowed many chapters the option of determining exactly where their individual money was spent. Greekfest also benefits Greeks themselves. It creates a unity that is often forgotter in the spirit of competition. "Greekfest made a big stride in unifying the Greek system it creates a whole new perspective," said senior Laura Hazelwood, vice president of Internal Greek Affairs.

unsuspecting prey hrough the thick terrain, the >reathless predator plots his trategy. He waits for the ight moment to make a lifehreatening strike. This scenario seems like a tunt between animals in a ungle, but it depicts a rape. Students along with the iloomington community ecognized the need for olutions to the problem of ape. The response — Rape awareness Week, sponsored IU Student Association. Sept. 13-18 marked the ixth year of Rape Awareness Week. Events attempted to >romote cognizance with a woad calendar of events. The week's events began n Dunn Meadow where )eople gathered to hear the
music from The Chosen Few and Johnny Socko. Information booths from Women's Student Union, Students Concerned about Violence Against Woman and OUT, provided information on rape and support services. Steve Thompson, a professor at Central Michigan University and a national expert on rape issues, delivered presentations at various locations on campus. As the professor attempted to look through the eyes of a rapist, playwright Debbie Melloan-Ruiz looked through the eyes of a survivor in her play, "Puzzle Pieces." This was the second year that this play was presented for campus rape awareness. The play brought to light the common bias that
our society perpetuates: that a woman deserves to be raped if she commits some thoughtless action. MelloanRuiz felt that the question of what a woman did to provoke rape should not be asked, but rather why a rapist feels he has the right to invade someone's life. For some, one week is not enough. Senior Dara Neely, director of Womens' Wheels, said a week devoted to rape awareness is "just one element in an on-going education process that must go on all year round." Even though Rape Awareness Week was one week of the year, it encouraged people to think about how to stop the predators in our society and how to comfort victims of rape. •

As the fire diminished into red hot coals, the crowd began to slowly disappear. This signaled the end of a ful day of Homecoming events
with the weekend and the impending victory against Iowa still to come. In the second quarter of the game, freshman kicker Bill Manolopoulos put IU's only points on the board for the half with two field goals, making the score at halftime S-3 in favor of IU. In the third quarter, junior Brett Law drove into the end zone
on a 1-yard run for the team's only touchdown of the game. Law, who replaced junior Jermaine Chaney at tailback when he went down with an ankle injury in the first quarter, racked up 144 yards for the day. Despite Iowa's last quarter touchdown, the Hoosiers hung on for the 16-10 victory. After the game, The
Second City National Touring Company delivered two performances to a packed Auditorium. They performed skits from the days of Gilda Radner and Dan Akroyd, as well as some improvisations that included audience participation in the selection of the subject matter.

Indiana Statehouse, people gathered.While some came to support, others came to protest the white supremacists with shouts and jeers. The rest witnessed the event as if it were a spectator sport. People from all walks of life came to hear Thomas Robb, the national director of the Ku Klux Klan, speak. Amid a sea of chaos filled with homosexuals, heterosexuals, Jews, African Americans and whites, the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, gathered to recruit and mobilize supporters at the Statehouse on Oct. 16. Looking unlike their robed predecessors, Robb stood before the crowd in a dark suit, while other Klansmen donned white shirts, black pants and baseball hats emblazoned with the Klan's cross-shaped insignia , carrying shields with the same insignia. "I am not here to promote hatred against anyone," Robb said in an effort to expand Midwest support. But Robb spoke to the angry protestors in his speech, after they had nearly made his speech inaudible. "To be hated by you, ladies and gentlemen, I say thank you," Robb said to the protestors.
He then said to his supporters, "They are the same element that doesn't understand free speech." He said the protestors came to the rally to shout ignorance, hatred and their own prejudice in what he called a sea of destruction. "To those of you who say `hey, hey, hey, bye-bye' ... I say, `bye-bye, you won't be here next year, bye-bye,' Robb said in reference to AIDS patients, against the roar of Gay Alliance and other gay advocates. Unbothered by their disapproval, Robb spoke on about his mission. "If I could lift the shroud of ignorance and the light could be shown to their eyes that penetrates to the mind, that sinks down to the depths of the heart and to the soul and to touch their very spirit ... then I will know [we] are still alive," Robb said as he reached out for supporters. The young white men and women resounded with neo-Nazi chants and raised arms as white supremacy soared back through the air to the delight of their leader. But not all KKK supporters were chanting this sentiment. "It's really sad that it's come to this," said Aaron McCord, a 23-year-old factory worker from Alexan-
dria, Ind. "It's going more towards neo-Nazi." McCord believes the KKK is weakening and the smaller factions that support white supremac in violent ways are to blame. "I believe in the preserva tion of the white race, I don' believe in going out and hanging them ... the blacks will take care of themselves, to quote Charles Manson," McCord said. He believes th Klan needs more white colla members to strengthen the organization. But McCord assures that his hate for non-

"Bigot's not a bad word; 'm a racist, I love my race ,efore I love any other race, he reason I don't like Jewish ieople is because I'm a evout Christian and anyone hat doesn't accept Jesus :hrist I have a problem iith," he said. McCord is the first in three generations of is family to be an active "Jansman. Others on the pposing side of the Klan 'so considered family eritage as their motives for
being present. "It will he something we can tell our kids," Corky Longwood said. "The Klan does have the right to voice their opinions, but we can go over and mess with them if we want to," he said. Freshman Michael Adkins said, "We're just here to observe the hype, if they want to be racist they should just keep it to themselves." Another protestor wasn't as gentle in her beliefs of the First Amendment. "I think the whole free
speech argument is B.S.," said Eva Shiffrin, Bloomington resident. "I think that free speech in our country only applies to certain people ... and I'm not going to follow anything that only guarantees the free speech of certain individuals who are not me and who are racist," Shiffrin said. Other students voiced their opinions. A student group from the University of Michigan, Students Out to Smash the Fascists, marched down West continued

Present were members of IUSA, OUT, International Society Association and Anarchists Society of IU. "I was satisfied with the show," said Michael Burton, IUSA advocacy director, "but the police officers were not exactly helpful ... while helping some people, they
also had a tendency to put others at risk." That risk led to an injury to Burton after he was pushed into a barricade by the force of the crowd. The same hostility that incited Burton's incident also encouraged hatred, apparent through signs and voices. "Save our land — join the Klan" read one sign. A supporter yelled, "Watch your butts boys, the fags are here." To these statements, Gay Alliance taunted, "Two, four, six, eight — how do we know
the Klan is straight?" Other forms of free speech, such as the burning of a confederate flag, ignited violence in the crowd. But Indiana State Police First Sergeant Patrick McQuary worked to maintain the peace. "Especially when there's a racial conflict, it takes very little to incite a crowd ... but hopefully by working together we can maintain responsible action," said McQuary. Approximately 1,000 people gathered under their control, 75 percent of

With two helicopters hovering overhead, SWAT team troopers watched closely atop the nearby Westin Hotel and the state buildings surrounding the Statehouse. Senior Alex Stafford felt safe in the riotous atmosphere. "I think there's a lot of aggressiveness here ... but it's very controlled. I'm a big believer of free speech, so just let [the Klan] go," he said. "Our main concern is
;afery," said Indiana State ?dice Sergeant John Mull. kt a press conference held arlier in the day, he said arrangements were made for :he safety of the Klan as well. "The role of the Indiana ;tate Police Department is to :ontrol the rally, not to assist he rally," Mull said. Before he Klan appeared at the statehouse, the public went hrough security checks and rietal detectors from behind i West Street barricade. Many Klan supporters ind protestors alike mocked
the protection. "The cops and the Klan are on the same side," one protestor shouted. "[The police] are the only reason you're still alive," said another protestor. Robb also wasn't appreciative of the protection as he mocked the power of the police and the office of the governor. "By the hand of providence given by Thomas Jefferson and the Founding Fathers, the First Amendment struck down the power of the office of governor of Indiana," Robb said in regard
to the previous day's ruling that attempts by the City of Indianapolis to move the Klan's rally for safety precautions was insufficient governmental interest. Robb concluded his speech by stating a final objective of the Klan. "Political power is the goal of the Ku Klux Klan. It only takes one spark to bring about change in government," Robb said. Before leaving the steps of the Statehouse, the leader welcomed the public to a cross
lighting in Zenus, Ind. Rain began to fall as the Metro Gang Task force drove out the masses of protestors and supporters while more fights occurred. An African American beat a photographer and smashed her camera. She was one of the seven recorded injuries of the day. Seven arrests were also made. "I don't think the black people let the white people protest properly," Greg Beeson of Beech Grove said. "Love the sinner, hate the sin, I guess."

Students remember Martin Luther King Jr., a man with flaws, determination and a true heart 24 CALENDAR
Black Culture Center's advisory board and AfroAmerican Affairs, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s, birthday celebration helped a crowd of African Americans and whites better understand the civil rights leader. It also ushered people in from subzero temperatures to remember King in a series of films that ran at the Black Culture Center. Starting at 10 a.m., students filtered in and out to watch documentaries on the life of King. Dr. Fred McElroy, associate professor of Afro-American Studies, delivered an evening
lecture that brought not only a message of the civil rights leader, but also one of truth, love and the importance of education on this holiday. "I am a teacher," McElroy said, "and as a teacher, I urge all of us to honor Martin Luther King by visiting the library." McElroy said to honor King is to research him. By merely sanctifying King one day a year, he said, we are not truly honoring him as a man. "We must tell the truth about his life and legacy," McElroy said. "We must approach learning about Dr. King with a tough mind and
a tender heart." King's temper, eating habits and his extramarital affairs were a fey of the examples McElroy used to paint the picture of King as a human being. "This was no black Jesus, this was a human being, and the greatness of the man is that despite his human foibles, he achieved what he achieved," McElroy said. He said these shortcomings mad, King's accomplishments all the greater. McElroy then applied the ideology of truth to how we celebrate this day. "A nation that celebrates the Fourth of July every year proclaiming liberty, and

"If you love yourself, you levelop yourself ... you can levelop your powers ... to ransform this world." Afro-American Studies Dean Lawrence Hanks said, `We've made little progress oward real human underlanding." To combat this, ie announced a new program o help blur racial lines on :ampus. Once a week at the
Black Culture Center, Hanks said, students would have the opportunity to get to know someone from another race. He said the meetings would be informal with no real agenda planned to give students the chance to communicate one-on-one. After a song titled "For Always," performed by freshman Estelle Husband, others had a chance to voice what this day meant to them. "To truly honor Martin, we must go beyond the dream to reality," junior Phillip Boyd said. Boyd was a member of the Black Student Advisory Council.
Senior Tomico Washington agreed and criticized those who have only kept King in their hearts one day a year. "They don't listen to his teachings or what he wanted for the world," Washington said. Others criticized those who only looked at his birthday as a reason to get out of school or their job. "I don't feel people should not go to class even if it were to be recognized by IU," junior Maya Halcomb said. "If he were still here, he would want us to still go to class and better ourselves. If we still have the dream, we should still go to school."
"A dream deferred makes the heart grow bitter," McElroy said, quoting the Book of Proverbs, "his dream has been deferred far too long. It is now time for us to plant the seeds for the tree of life." McElroy looked to youth, of all races, as the seeds for that tree. On that cold night, people trudged through half a foot of snow to hear these words of wisdom and truth. Most left with a better understanding of the holiday, the man who caused it and perhaps, with a seed planted for truth and racial harmony.

But late in the fall !mester, they were forced to noke outside. On Nov. 1, the entire loomington campus went noke-free. The Union, assrooms, administration 'flees, stadium and some .sidence halls were included L the ban. It resulted in the niversity being the first Big en campus to go entirely noke-free. "This step, long-anticiited by some members of Le academic community, sponds to the growing vareness in our society of Le dangers of both smoking id secondhand smoke," enneth Gros Louis, vice -esident and chancellor, said favor of the ban. The director of the nion, Winston Shindell, id he was happy with the noking ban on the campus. "For the Union, we )pointed a committee about ro years ago made up of udents and staff," Shindell id. The committee was ade up of smokers and )nsmoker. "Another thing that came
out of the research committee was that we should not be spending money developing areas for people to smoke," Shindell said. "And quite frankly, we did not have any areas in the building that we could set aside without building some additional space to accommodate the smokers," he said. Shindell said reaction to the ban from the students and employers of the Union was quite positive. "The most difficult group to convince to go smoke-free was the employees. One of the options that we did offer to the smokers was a smokecessation class to them on the clock," Shindell said. Dyane Higgins, an employee who smoked, responded to the classes with disappointment. "You quit when you want to quit. When someone wants you to quit, it is less likely that you will. They can afford a room for us to smoke." Nonsmokers as well thought the ban could use some fine tuning. Some people criticized the ban because it moved the smokers outside the entrances to these buildings. Many smoking students and Union workers congregated outside the commons entrance, forcing others to walk
through a halo of smoke. But Shindell was still pleased with the change. "The quality of the air speaks for itself. The environment is much better now in the building," Shindell said. "I don't think that it's unreasonable for a smoker to step outside so that the smoke doesn't infringe upon my rights as a nonsmoker," junior Jeff Benish said. "Smokers do have rights, but if their smoking rights infringe upon the health of others, then they shouldn't be allowed to smoke," he said. "I do not believe that this is a solution one way or another. Smokers or nonsmokers will infringe upon one another's rights," junior Steve Hughes said. Shindell and Gros Louis said appeals could be taken into review for smoking space within a building, so long as the space had proper ventilation and did not expose nonsmokers. One must decide whose rights were being infringed upon before passing judgment on the ban. Many smokers felt they were being segregated because they chose to smoke. However, before the ban, nonsmokers' rights were taken away when forced to breathe in secondhand smoke. •
Following a national trend as well as a trend in Monroe County, the "butts" stop here as the campus goes smoke-free

Her presence in late January was in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the Surgeon General's Report on Smoking and Health. Since her confirmation in September 1993, Elders has directed her energy toward protecting children, especially those exposed to secondhand smoke in the home, at day care centers and other public places. A shocking 9 million children are exposed to secondhand smoke in their homes, Elders said. "It's [smoking] an insidious killer that starts early and slowly destroys the lives and very fabric of society," Elders sternly said from the stage. She said the answer called for health education in the schools and at homes as the gateway to reducing the nation's leading "preventable" killer.
Like a Mississippi preacher, she declared in a mighty voice that the task was not going to be an easy one. Elders said education involved the community, the children and ourselves. "We've got to prevent problems rather than just trying to treat them," she said. "We have to educate our children so they can be empowered to make good choices." With 3 million people under the age of 18 consuming 947 packs of cigarettes (each) annually, Elders was not hesitant or afraid to advocate a total boycott of the tobacco industry. "We must restrict the tobacco advertising targeted at our children," she said. "We have to take Joe Camel off the backs of our children." Elders said more children recognize Joe Camel, the symbol for Camel cigarettes, than they do Mickey Mouse. She compared dealing with the tobacco industry to dancing with a bear. "When you're dancing with a bear, you can't get tired," she said. "You have to wait until the
bear gets tired, and then you sit down. I'm trying to recruit a new partner to help me dance with that giant, th( tobacco industry, and then we can rid our society of tobacco smoking." After a slight pause, she said tax increases won't stifle the nation's No. 1 killer. Even the 1994 proposal of a 75 cent tax on cigarettes was not enough. Elders estimatec that an increase of $2.13 per pack was necessary just to pa for the increasing costs of smoke-related diseases, whicl

Other students attending the speech weren't as offended. "I like her honesty. I think the reason that I enjoyed her speech the most was the fact that she is convinced that what she is doing about the smoking problem in America is the best approach," freshman
Angie Ailor said. Elders also responded to her controversial stance on drug legalization. When Elders advocated the study of drug legalization, the Clinton administration distanced itself from her views. "He is opposed to drug legalization and he is the one who determines the policies of this country," she said. At the conclusion of her speech, she had helped light a fire of awareness among the students and adminstration on our campus. •

Red Death," by Edgar Allen Poe, was a story about a disease that threatened to destroy the lives of guests at a masquerade ball. Hidden behind a mask was the Red Death. Before the guests could see his face, it was too late and they lost their lives. AIDS is like the Red Death and behaves similar to it. But the guests in the story did not have the information or the education to fight their disease. They did not have an AIDS Awareness Week. The results of a 1990 study by the American College Health Association indicated that one out of 500 college students was infected with HIV. Approximately 1 to 1.5 million people in the United States are infected. "What If ..." you or someone close to you tested HIV positive? This was the question posed to students at an interactive skit during AIDS Awareness Week. Sponsored by the Indiana State Department of Health and Monroe County Community Corrections, the interactive drama group "What If ..." traveled to Brown County schools, jails and detention centers to educate people about the real effects of AIDS. In three different pieces, the actors brought up such issues as condom use, HIV
testing and sexual promiscuity. Emotions rose when the moderator stepped in to hear the audience's reactions to the issues being raised. But for many students, they did not learn anything new of the disease. "It did not teach me anything I did not know, but the way it was presented made the skit more real, and the audience interaction was effective. It made HIV more real," sophomore Stacy Ullman said. Following AIDS Awareness Week Feb. 26, Chanticleer, an all-male vocal ensemble, performed at the Auditorium. Singing a cappella, the 12-member
group performed songs fron the secular and spiritual Renaissance and ended with humorous folk songs and popular music. Proceeds from their performance and the John Waldron Arts Center reception, went to benefit Project Friends INDEED (Project FIND). As part of the Mental Health Center, Project FIND offered volunteer support for those infected with AIDS or AIDS-related complex and supported anonymous HIV testing. Started in 1988, Project FIND sponsored education talks with schools by HIV patients and support groups such as the Buddy program.

Backing Shun Ravago presides over both University and
his iational Young Americans for Freedom organization
Beliefs enior Shun Ravago became involved in IU politics not because he aspired to become a politiS cian, but because he believed in Lis movement. Ravago, the national chairperson of he Young Americans for Freedom orgaization, said politics were fun for him. "The conservative movement is someling that I sincerely believe. But I do not ike politics personally. If someone takes olitics too personally, then they can take to an extreme." He cited the Ku Klux Klan and Black anthers movements as two examples of xtremist causes on both sides of the potical spectrum. Begun in 1960, the YAF's founding lea was to fight the Students for a Demoratic Society and to combat liberalism on allege campuses, Ravago said. Another roader role outside of the University was ) fight communism's spread to other Duntries outside of the United States. "Communism during the Cold War 'as the greatest threat to America. Now, nce the end of the Cold War, the focus of AF and the conservative movement is to J mbat communism and socialism inside f the United States — these being the iulticulturalism and political correctness iovement. We call it the McCarthyism f the left." He said socialism showed itself in the ossible changes the Clinton administraon wanted in the health care system.
YAF's basic beliefs, Ravago said, were strict interpretation of the Constitution, a free market with no government interference and patriotism. Ravago said the height of the YAF movement was in the 1980s during the Reagan years, although the University's YAF chapter has now reached an all-time high of about 100 members. In his sophomore year, he became the president of YAF at the University. Later that year, he became the national chairperson of YAF, in charge of more than 80,000 members. Although he was the national chairperson of YAF, he presided over the IU chapter. "I want to focus IU YAF on the battle against tenured professors who are teaching freshman that socialism is correct," Ravago said. Another topic that was a hot issue with Ravago was the question of diversity. "Freshmen in dormitories are being taught some screwed up versions of diversity. People think that YAF is not for diversity. We are. But not the type of diversity that the University advocates," he said. He said the University tried to force the majority of the students to accept the beliefs and heritage of the minority. He said he believed diversity advocates were nothing more than "thought police" controlling what a person said through University policy. "I believe that America is a melting pot. But a minority group cannot force
their beliefs down our throats. For example, take homosexuality; I have nothing against homosexuals personally, but I do not agree with homosexuals in general. I was taught to be tolerant of them. I respect them although I do not agree with what they stand for. I do not 'gay bash."' This view, he said, did not sit well with people, especially in a University. "If it is not politically correct or fashionable to believe in something, then you are dubbed a racist or a homophobe," Ravago said. "This is why YAF disagrees with diversity. Political correctness destroys free thought and academic integrity." Ravago also did not see much of a difference between himselfand others who might hold a more liberal belief if that person held that belief strongly. "I do not care if you are a Republican, Democrat or Libertarian ifyou can defend your beliefs," Ravago said. "If you believe it wholeheartedly and are willing to stake your principles on it then that is great. This is what America is all about."

CAMPUS OBSTACLES By Wendy Potasnik
T
WO YEARS BEFORE THE
American Disability Act became law in 1992, Director of Disabled Services Steve Morris began noticing the University making buildings and services accessible to disabled students. From providing readers for blind students to constructing ramps in Dunn Meadow, Morris has since helped to provide equal opportunities for disabled faculty and students on campus. Morris said 90 percent of University buildings are accessible. But, because in some cases "accessible" may mean no more than one
available entry to a doorway, he said there was room for improvement. "In the last three to four years, we have been busy with the Crescent Project, the renovation of nine buildings on the older part of campus," Morris said. These included Kirkwood Hall, Lindley Hall, Maxwell Hall, Myers Hall, Owen Hall, Rawles Hall, the Student Building, Swain East and Wiley Hall. The buildings were being renovated because they were in need of repair, although many of those repairs coincided with ADA regulations.
"The ADA requires that you do a self-assessment for handicapped accessibility," Morris said. "Indiana University identified a $9-10 million barrier removal accessibility figure, but there's a hold on funds now." This evaluation was the first effort of its kind since the late 1970s. The $9-10 million figure was what it would ideally cost the University to make the necessary changes to the identified buildings. Morris said change is a slow process because little construction is being done. continued

OBSTACLES Beyond the Crescent Project, money allocated by the University will be used for minor repairs, adjustments and maintenance of facilities like the automatic doors in the Education Building and the elevators in the Chemistry Building and Jordan Hall. Although some electronic conveniences often helped students avoid heavy doors and stairs, some obstacles on campus were
inescapable for many disabled students. Suzanne Ament, a blind doctoral history student, said she was attracted to the University for its history program and said it was helping her to achieve her goals. But aside from academics, she said she found many of the challenging aspects of her education on the University's physical campus. "You have to have initiative to make it here,"
Ament said. "It's not an easy place ... the trickiest part of campus for me is the area between Ballantine and Woodburn Halls, where the bridges cover Jordan River." "Also, it's hard to go to the HPER by myself. It would be nice to allow for disabled students to use the recreational sports facilities. The outside track there is narrow, and people walk, run and tie their shoelaces on it," Ament said. "I used to go to IU Fit, but my friend had to

show me what [exercises] to do. I've kind of given up." But Senior Julie Hofius hasn't given-up. Hofius, who has been using a wheelchair since her car accident in 1986, said the biggest obstacles she faced on campus were the snow- and ice-covered streets during the winter months. Following one of last year's storms, she stayed home from classes for a full week. Beyond her personal challenges, she continued to educate others
about the barriers disabled people face. Keeping with a stated goal of the ADA, to "provide a clear and comprehensive national mandate for the elimination of discrimination against individuals with disabilities through clear, strong, consistent and enforceable standards," Hofius helped local businesses recognize the needs of disabled people in Bloomington. This year, one incident drove her to help a Bloom-
ington restaurant owner accommodate her facility to ADA standards. "The restaurant [I went to] in town was not accessible," Hofius said. "There were steps going up and steps coming down [from the dining area]. The owner said what she usually does is bring a table up to the first floor [for disabled customers]. The area was right by the cigarette machine and right in front of the restroom door. And I said, No, that is not really
acceptable for me.' " Hofius said she learned to correct others' attitudes following her past summer's internship in Washington, D.C. Her experiences of shadowing former White House aide James Brady while the Brady Bill was being drafted gave her courage to speak up on rights of the disabled. "[Brady] used to say that the ADA is great, but you can't legislate people's attitudes with the law. The
whole purpose of the ADA is to get people to change things voluntarily, because they want to, because they want people's business." Hofius said she viewed local viewpoints positively, despite occasional stereotypes and setbacks. "The attitudes around campus helps [to compensate for] its parts that are not physically accessible a lot of times ... I think the fact that I'm going and doing dispels a lot of myths."

FTER MONTHS OF
deliberation, University officials agreed to a plan that would guarantee Coke exclusive distribution in all campus buildings. This monopolistic plan was due to take effect for the spring semester, but the plans had been on the compromising table for months. "The idea is not a new one," Guy DeStefano, head of campus distribution, said. Other parts of the country also made the change to Coke as other universities implemented a similar plan. Although no papers were actually signed excluding Pepsi products from University-owned buildings, Coke was permitted to sell their products with no other competition. DeStefano had hoped the program would go into effect over the winter break. With fewer people on campus during vacation, it would have been easier for personnel to move machines in and
out of buildings. Most buildings already contained only Coke products. In fact, Pepsi was only found in vending machines at the Union commons area, in a few residence halls and in a select number of schools. Although the change to Coke appeared not to have had any noticeable effects on campus activities, Pepsi and other soft drink companies bore the brunt of this decision. In the past, Pepsi sponsored Dance Marathon and Little 500. This new program was not exclusive to the Bloomington campus. Seven of the eight campuses, excluding IU-Purdue University at Fort Wayne, already had or were planning to comply with the new plan. Other universities had accepted offers quite similar to I U's. Penn State and the University of Michigan accepted exclusive Pepsi contracts. Many students ques-
tioned the change and lack of choice offered from this new agreement. Sophomore Meegan Webster felt strongly about the change. "I want my Dr. Pepper; Mr. Pibb just doesn't cut it," she said. Yet the money from the proposal, $15 million, went toward academic funding for the University. After hearing this, many students found they could support the program, or could at least live with the switch to Coke. "If the money goes to the right programs, then it's worth it," sophomore Rhonda Barker said. "Personally, I won't really notice the difference because I don't usually buy soda on campus." But Barker said given the choice, she preferred Pepsi products. As of the spring semester, the choice was Coke. This generation of thirsty students would no longer compete in the Pepsi challenge, at least on this campus. •

tradition, Bob Knight spoke on Nov. 14 in the Auditorium. His speech covered much ground as he spoke about the importance of an education and the impact of his fishing trips on world politics. "Catching is a big fundamental part of a basketball game. It's taken for granted," Knight said. "We all take things for granted, something like school. You don't think how important it is to go to college. You don't think how important it is to catch the basketball. Everyone has to pay a price to get into school. Make it the greatest purchase of your life." Knight also talked about the basketball team for the upcoming season. "This is going to be an interesting team to coach. This is going to be a team that is really going to try." He then drew many connections between his basketball stories and
advice on living. "It's not the thought of failure that should ever enter your mind. It's the thought of accepting failure. Failure is not having the desire to try," Knight said to a packed Alumni Hall. Knight then praised those students who contributed their successes to a worthwhile cause. He commended the crowd for its recent attendance to the annual Midnight Madness basketball practice on Oct. 30. The crowd donated food to Assembly Hall to benefit the United Way. "You people brought five tons of food to the Midnight Madness. I really applaud the students." This was the side of Bob Knight as coach and motivational speaker. In his speech he talked about setting goals and achieving them. But he also showed another side of himself that also gets much attention, his temper. At one point in his
speech, Knight threatened to leave the Auditorium. "By the way, take your hats off. We've got a lot of girls in here. I took the time to come here and speak, so take your damn hats off or I'm leaving. Show some respect for the girls in here and take off your hats." The men in the audience complied, and the speech went on. Knight spoke for approximately 45 minutes, and after his speech there was a question-and-answer period.

Students' questions ranged from asking him for an autograph to inquiring about next year's recruiting class. Another student asked him what he enjoyed most about being a coach. "I get the most enjoyment out of seeing players come back after they graduate," Knight said. "There is something special about Indiana basketball." Near the end of the speech, he gave out a little advice on leadership: "Lead-
ership is an interesting thing. Don't ever try to bullshit the people who are trying to do what you want done. Be honest with them." Students have flocked to hear the General's annual speech, which is sponsored by Union Board. Many students went to see the man they usually only see in Assembly Hall.

IKKI HUDSON,
manager of Showplace Cinemas, felt a little "blue" the day after Valentine's Day. About 45 minutes before "Blue Chips" premiered, Hudson paced the already spotless linoleum floor, looking for trash. Her heels clicked against the tiles as she pushed toward the concession counter to watch employee Aaron Little stack paper cups and popcorn tubs. N
Hudson walked into her office, sat in a swivel chair and listened to the phone ring. After one month of preparation, she wanted this night to be perfect. Along with the 1,500 people who attended that night's screenings, Hudson waited to see the premiere of Paramount's "Blue Chips," a movie where basketball turned into big business and free throws equaled dollar
signs. The Hoosiers and Coach Bob Knight were a big part of this movie directed by William Friedkin, whose works included "The Exorcist," "The French Connection" and "Rampage." "It would have been impossible without Indiana University," Friedkin said. "I always felt that if I did a sports film, I'd use real athletes and real footage." Friedkin asked Knight
what he could do to repay him and the University for their generosity. Knight's reply brought $80,000 to the library fund and a $150,000 basketball scholarship from the proceeds at the Showplace Cinemas premiere. Actor Nick Nolte also spent considerable time with Knight to hone the role of Pete Bell early in 1993. "Nick likes to validate a character," said Nolte's
longtime assistant Bill Cross, who also appeared in the movie as Coach Bell's assistant. "There's a Bob Knight influence in the character with mannerisms, but it is not Bob Knight as a whole," Cross said. Former IU player Matt Nover was also an integral part of the film. "Matt was a natural actor," Cross said. Friedkin said Nover knew what it was all about as he

"I didn't want it to be exhibition, I wanted it to be real," Friedkin said. "We forgot we were filming a

movie." He said the players felt as if they were just playing on new teams. "I've found it enriches the film. You want it to be seamless and those details make it work," Friedkin said. One of those details included the use of Knight as the coach of the Indiana team in "Blue Chips." "To a great extent, Coach Knight is acting. He comes to work with his own emo-

tions, strengths and weaknesses and he has to put all that aside to motivate," Friedkin said, "and that's what an actor does." Because of NCAA regulations, the athlete-actors in the film could not be paid for their work in the movie. This contradicted the characters they played in the movie who were paid excessive amounts to play basketball. "Basketball belongs as it was originally conceived as a recreational sport. In the 80
years in between it has turned into big business," Friedkin said. "The whole corporate mentality is going to usurp the game." Friedkin examined the ethic involved in college athletics, where the wealthiest school got the cream-of-the-crop athlete. Tickets to the premiere and reception cost $100, $60 for the showing — only students could see the film later that evening for $10. Approximately 1,500 people attended the first night's
screening. With all the excitement, Showplace employees were busy at work. But almost all of the students working that night said they planned to see the movie. "They've told us if Bob Knight comes in we can't flock around him," senior Jill Lawson said. She worked behind the concession counter during the premiere. But for some employees, this warning would not get in the way of meeting the General. "If Bob Knight does
come up to me, I'll whip out my ticket for an autograph," junior Tonya Raver said. Raver said expectations from the managers were high. "They told us to do our best — perfection," Raver said. Sophomore Aaron Little said even though he was not a native Hoosier, it was an honor to work the night of the premiere. "It's just amazing how big basketball is around here," Little said. "Everyone knows everything about
Indiana basketball, and because some of last year's IU senior players and Coach Knight are in the movie, the support is unbelievable. We don't have a lot of down time, because we have to make sure that everything is perfect," Little said. "We've got to prepare ourselves for the worst." "I've played basketball since I was in the third grade ... that's why it's so important to me," Hudson said as she welcomed the final
moments of the project that encompassed a month's worth of preparations. And with the 20 ushers, 10 concession workers, 50 pounds of popcorn and all six theaters opened, "Blue Chips" was ready for its Bloomington premiere. When the student showing ended around midnight, streams of enthusiastic, chatty students filtered out of the theaters and into the parking lot. Seniors Sasha Moeller and Alix Dowling
said they enjoyed watching the movie in an auditorium. As she stood in a maze of headlights and taillights, Dowling said she agreed with the movie's message about the corruption of college athletics. "You have to have a good work ethic and dedication [to play basketball]," she said. "But I don't think collegiate players should get paid. They're in school to get an education, and I think that's good enough." •

ALTERNATIVE VIEWPOINT By Chris Albert and Jenny Eaton NCE PRONOUNCED
Political theorist Noam Chomsky criticizes the media lap dog' and the U.S. government
46 CALENDAR
"the most important intellectual alive" by The New York Times, Noam Chomsky has in several books denounced the corporate media and the U.S. government. Chomsky, professor of linguistics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, gave several lectures Feb. 28 to March 4. He talked with students about subjects ranging from linguistics to the role of the U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East. Criticizing the media for being a lap dog rather than serving as a watchdog of the government, Chomsky was a strong believer in alternative sources of information. Like a lap dog, the mainstream media are subservient to the government, refraining from asking questions about its actions. The media ingest into their stories the government's noncorrupt interpretation of events. "They [the media] are highly conformist ... If you really want to
understand what's going on in the world, you sort of triangulate — you look at things from different perspectives ... ," Chomsky said. Despite his leftist viewpoints, many students found Chomsky's ideas enlightening. "I think because of the rising concern of government and business manipulation of the media, his criticisms are very timely and potentially important, " senior Brian Schnepff said. One of his books, "Manufacturing Consent," cowritten by Edward Herman, was made into a three-hour film analyzing the role of the U.S. media. In this book and his speeches, he talked about "intellectual self-defense," the idea of taking into account other people's perspectives and not blindly trusting information claimed as objective. "It's a skill that kids ought to pick up in kindergarten, actually ... ," Chomsky said. "In a good educational system ... the first
and most important lesson it would teach is to be skeptical and to ask the question, `Where is this information coming from?'" "I think he stimulated an enormous amount of thinking about the news media," Holly Stocking, a journalism professor, said. Chomsky said it was important to share viewpoints with other people. "Everybody is dead, intellectually dead," he said. "If people talk to each other they get ideas, they can think them through ... the basic technique of control in the United States is to make everybody totally isolated. If you can get each person alone in front of the tube, you've won." Although at times Chomsky's ideas could be confusing, he brought an alternative point of view to the campus. " ... Someone who generates light and not just heat is good for our culture," Stocking said. "We need more people like him.",

XCITEMENT L.- permeated the air as the lights dimmed and the curtains parted for the 65th annual production of IU Sing in the Auditorium. The competition, sponsored by IU Student Foundation, consisted of a two-part singing and dancing extravaganza. The event was organized, produced and performed entirely by students. More than 3,000 undergraduates contributed to the 1994 theme of "Got the Music in Me," making it the largest student participation event of the year. Because it was such a prominent affair, months of preparation preceded the actual show. Although each production lasted five to seven minutes, students from residence halls and the Greek
system began organizing their acts long before winter break. "Our whole act began practicing together at the beginning of January for about three to four hours a night, but song leaders began organizing back in October," sophomore Cathy Sadler, Chi Omega song leader, said. Chi Omega won a total of four awards for their theme, "A League of Their Own." Their act, inspired by the hit movie of the same name, depicted the everyday antics of an all-women's baseball league. "It was a little difficult without a pair, but it brought us closer together as a house," senior song leader Christi Clutter said. All difficulties aside, X12 stole third place in Division B, the 1994 Production Staff Award, the Choreography
Award and the prestigous George E. Shlafer Award. Delta Sigma Theta grabbed the newly established Folklore Award and the first place trophy in Division A with "Stereotypes." The group focused on breaking down common stereotypes of African-American women by outlining their true character through popular song lyrics. Their act featured a cappella renditions of Mariah Carey's "Hero" and Whitney Houston's "I'm Every Woman." "We always like to pick something that sends a message.

riders rom the 42nd Little 500 Men's race econd-year law student, Bryce Zoeller, refused to give up in his efforts to allow graduate students to ride in the Little 500, despite being denied continuously by the IU Student Foundation's steering committee. Zoeller, along with a few other graduate students, first submitted a proposal to IUSF and the Little 500 Riders Council in May 1993. Their goal was to amend the Little 500 eligibility rules so graduate students could have their own team. The Riders Council voted and passed it unanimously, but IUSF chose not to pass the proposal. In hopes of having a better chance of riding by himself, Zoeller submitted a second proposal to the committee in July. This proposal asked only for graduate students to be able to join an undergraduate team, rather than having their own. Once again the IUSF denied Zoeller's request. The Riders Council, made up of three student members, voted again unanimously to allow graduates to ride on undergraduate teams. When asked why he thought IUSF turned down both of his proposals, Zoeller said, "I am still trying to figure that out, and I really don't know. They came up with reason after reason why they thought
we shouldn't ride in Little 5 and even after I gave them substantial proof that their reasons were incorrect, they just came up with another excuse." The first reason the IUSF Steering Committee gave Zoeller for turning down his proposal was that they did not think the riders wanted graduates to compete in the race. Zoeller found this hard to believe, so he asked last year's teams for their opinions. The overwhelming majority of the male and female riders wanted graduate students to join the race, and even recommended friends they knew who would be interested in racing. Zoeller shared his results with the IUSF Steering Committee, but their minds remained unchanged. One of Zoeller's strongest arguments that he used in his proposal was the recent drop in rider and spectator participation. Only 33 male and female teams could separately qualify for Little 500, and this year only 36 male teams tried to enter. The women's race has never attracted a full 33 teams, and there were 10 female graduate students who wanted to compete in 1994. With participation rates decreasing each year, Zoeller hoped that IUSF would listen as he submitted even more letters for next year's Little 500.
Zoeller attended the University as an undergraduate, and trained his junior and senior years to ride for Sigma Alpha Epsilon in the race, but was unable to compete because of an injury to his ankle. He then coached Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Zeta Tau Alpha's bike teams, and competed every weekend for IU's cycling team. His ability to compete in NCAA sanctioned sports at the University was yet another reason why Zoeller thought that graduate students should be allowed to compete in Little 500. "I race every weekend for the IU cycling team, and I have tried to ride for Sigma Alpha Epsilon. I can compete in NCAA varsity and intramural sports, but not for a fund-raiser put on by IUSF," Zoeller said. •

54 CALENDAR
April weather entered the Men's Little 500 race day equation, a cycling carnival came to Bloomington. Students wearing sunglasses balanced red tumblers of cola and wide slices of cheese pizza. A five-piece jazz band performed while IU students and alumni climbed the metal bleachers, searching for a seat. And before this crowd, 33 men's cycling teams whirred around the track, sparkling in bright blue, purple, yellow or magenta jerseys. Once sloganed "The World's Greatest College Weekend," the official theme of this 44-year-old race was now renamed "Cycling, Scholarships and Tradition." The race, sponsored by the IU Student Foundation, raised approximately $25,000
to be awarded next fall in scholarships. Any undergraduate student who worked a part-time job, maintained a full-course schedule and a high GPA was eligible to apply for a stipend. But aside from scholarships, April 16 — race day — the riders and spectators seemed more interested in the cycling and the tradition of the 200-lap, 50-mile event. On the track, 2:11.06 after a green-flag start, Sigma Chi senior Randy Spruill plunged victoriously across the finish line, trailed by the Cutters and Delta Chi. Spruill's teammate, sophomore Tyler Sparks, said because Sigma Chi's four cyclists spent the past two years training and riding together, they shared a focus to win this year's race. But continued

MEN'S RACE the heavy race-day wind posed a difficult obstacle to overcome. "The wind makes riders more accident-prone," Sparks said. "When you have wind gusts coming at you, it makes you work harder to keep your position. It's a real mental strain." During most of the race, riders sustained speeds of 23 mph. But collisions, due partially to pack riding, high speeds and strong winds, sent several cyclists tumbling to the cinders. After the 19th lap, a Cyclone team member skidded onto the track. With

blood running down his arms and legs, he remounted his bike and came into the pits for an exchange. On lap 30, as the injured Cyclone rider watched his teammate from the sideline, he said it takes that "blood" to make a successful rider. Twenty five laps later, Pi Kappa Phi team member, senior Todd Gemmer, prepared to re-enter the race. Already, Gemmer had scrapes on his left elbow. With his fraternity's cheering section chanting "PKP" and "Let's go, Todd," the Pi Kappa Phi team finished the race in 12th place. Gemmer was happy with his team's
outcome, and had previously said to be successful, the team had to be coherent. "Riding takes determination and time. You basically have to train six days a week, three hours a day," Gemmer said. "When I was on the track, I thought about doing what I'd trained to do, staying with the pack and not getting distracted by the fans or where other riders were at the time." Spectator Jeremy Sosin, a senior, went to the race to support senior Pi Kappa Phi cyclist Adam Hartstein. In addition to cheering Hartstein and four other friends who rode, Sosin took
pictures for his L384, Studies in American Culture, class assignment: Document and contrast aspects of the race's "Cycling, Scholarships and Tradition" and "The World's Greatest College Weekend" themes. Although celebrating prior to Little 500 weekend was a strong tradition on campus, Sosin said students have slowly adjusted to IUSF's emphasis on the "Cycling, Scholarships and Tradition." "I haven't seen the craziness that I'm accustomed to seeing," Sosin said. "I think the partying aspect is

Regardless of how many spectators watched the race, 16,000 supportive fans filled the bleachers, many wearing Hoosier crimson and cream or fraternity letters. For the
second consecutive year, 11year-old Paula Frame came from Richmond, Ind., to watch her brother, junior Vince Parshall, ride for Lambda Chi Alpha. Frame wore a Lambda Chi Alpha baseball hat and shirt, and sat with her mother and brother in the fraternity's section. A track turn away from Frame, on the fourth curve,

Senior P.J. Lampi, an IUSF Steering Committee member, said enthusiasm was important for the riders. Lampi said the good weather, combined with support from fans, made the race a success. "Planning the race involves a lot of work and a lot of time," Lampi said. "Although we've been organizing the race since the end
of fall semester, [we] needed to plan ahead and stay on top of things. IUSF's motivational theme this year was `Friendraising,' because if you didn't have fun, why would [anyone] want to volunteer to work on Little 500?" Senior Matt Pavledakes, the IUSF senior chair of Alumni Affairs, referred to the volunteers on IUSF as a
close-knit family. Until 2 p.m. race day, Pavledakes sat at a rider reunion information tent distributing infield passes to veteran riders. "The race is about excitement and dedication, )) but it's also about tradition, Pavledakes said. "[Alumni] come to Little 500 to relive the past. There's a lot of nostalgia here.".

PLAGUE THETAS By Heidi Kachmann N THE SEVEN-YEAR
history of the Women's Little 500, no pole-sitter had ever won the race. That is, until the Kappa Alpha Theta team proved victorious with a winning time of 1:13.09. Placing high in the poles four times in six years, it was a long-awaited victory for the sorority. Although the Thetas finally achieved their longawaited title as Women's Little 500 champs, it did not come without controversy. Junior Julie Biros, the sprinter for the second-place AGD team, who had a time of 1:13.33, claimed Desmond caused her to fall
coming into the third turn of the 100th lap as they raced neck-and-neck. "She is a shaky rider on the track, and coming around the last turn she was trying to ride me into the gutter. She hit some part of my bike that made my handlebars snap sideways, which caused me to fly over my bike," she said. Biro's claim was supported by Zeta Tau Alpha Coach Bryce Zoeller, whose pit was located near the accident. "I saw her stick her elbow out. Although it may have been totally legal, I think she was more aggressive than she had to be. She seemed to be the freshest at
that point in the race anyway, and she was going to win. I just don't think she had to win it that way." The Little 500 officials reviewed the incident after the race by looking through the viewfinder, and determined that there was no proof that the Theta team had committed any illegal act. Theta Coach Tom Schwoegler defended Desmond by saying that it was not in his team's nature to cheat. In rebuttal to Biro's accusations, Desmond said, "There is official proof and video proof that there was no foul play. continued

The large number of Theta alumnae present at the race was yet another strong indication of just how much the title meant to the women."The alumnae were great to help us at the race," junior team captain Greta Hoetzer said. "They all sat right behind the pit and it felt good to see them there supporting us." It was no wonder that the Theta pride was so resilient. They were the women responsible for
starting the race just seven years ago. Although they did not make the men's qualification bracket in 1987, the Thetas have displayed fierce competitiveness ever since. When asked about their strategy this year, junior team member Joycelyn Desmond said, "We have two distance bikers, one sprinter and Greta, who is very talented all around with cycling."

Delta Gamma wins first Mini 500 race in its 40- year history
ricycles were suspended in air, colorful balloons playfully swayed in the ventilation of Assembly Hall April 15. Students with painted faces and team shirts waited eagerly to cheer on their favorite riders. This was no basketball game. It was the 40th running of the annual Mini 500 Trike Race. The event was organized by the IU Student Foundation. Some of the sponsors were Baxter Health Care, Fazoli's, Nick's English Hut and Lennie's. These local businesses donated money for scholarships by supporting individual teams in the race. Dressed in a business suit, junior Steve Johnson, the president of IUSF, lapped around the track on a unicycle, showing his enthusiasm for the Mini 500. During the opening ceremony, strobe lights came on and the participants of the race were introduced as they
took the floor. There were six riders who had each participated in the Mini 500 four times. They were given a special moment in the spotlight and introduced as "The All Star Riders." An air of confidence surrounded the veterans as they strolled across the floor to the beat of Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger." Swift pacing allowed Lennie's to outrun secondplace adversary Sigma Chi in the final round. But it was a special night for members of another sorority, Delta Gamma. Team members juniors Missy Kuhman and Kari Clark and sophomores Mora Lowry and Tracey Thomas won first place for the women's division. It was the first victory for Delta Gamma in the 40 years of the event. The 18th seed for the women's competition welcomed the unexpected win. Sorority members of
Delta Gamma were just as excited about the victory as the riders. "There was a lot of support from our house there. Almost 50 members of our house showed up to cheer us on," Kuhman said. Competition was stiff all around with 32 women's teams and 19 men's teams racing this year. The races were held in three rounds of single elimination heats with two or three teams racing in each. The team with the best times won each heat. The fast elimination process kept several officials busy. Larry Gaffney, director of the Residence Halls assisted. "I enjoy the race every year. It's just a great event," he said. The team, Lennies, hasn't announced a desire to race again. "We're not looking ahead to next year yet. We just kind of want to sit back and enjoy this victory," said Snyder. •

NTIMIDATING
SECURITY By Colleen Fearrin I T WAS A FRIDAY
afternoon. Traffic did not flood the campus. Nor was there excessive noise or activity. There were no people urinating out of windows. Guzzling beer bongs in the back of pick-up trucks was not as prevalent as in recent years. But excise police still were busy arresting people for underage drinking and fake IDs, just not as busy as previous years. "The World's Greatest College Weekend," a tradition that inspired the Hollywood movie "Breaking Away" and attracted many students from other campuses, amounted to little more than a normal weekend, April 15-17. The weekend has always revolved around the bike race, and the celebrations surrounding it. Yet for the past several years attendance levels at racing festivities have dropped dramatically due to cold, rainy days. Thirty years ago, when the campus population was one third of what it is now, attendance at the men's Little 500 was estimated to be approximately 18,000. In the last two years, attendance has plummeted to 16,000. Students worried about the chance of more inclement
weather, but sunny skies prevailed, making the men's race a sellout. "The turn-out looked really good ... compared to last year, it was great. It can definitely be attributed to the weather," Karina Thoresen said. The weather was especially a concern for the riders in Little 500. "We had 30 mph winds. But aside from the ridiculous windstorm, it was a great day for racing," said sophomore Matt Sacks, who rode for Sammy & Co. Sacks said the race was exciting. "Even though we came in 30th place, we had a rip-roaring time. My friends drove 19 hours from Boston to see it," he said. Other students less concerned with the race and more concerned with partying still had a dark cloud hovering over their heads. "It was kind of lame because I had friends down and they were expecting a crazy time and it was so controlled. Little 500 used to be like Mardi Gras and when it wasn't, they were disappointed. It just sucked," senior Chad Buell said. Bloomington has heavily monitored Little 500 partying since 1991, the year that approximately 1,000 people rioted at Varsity Villas
apartments. There was extensive fighting and property damage when the police arrived on the scene. Their efforts were reflected this year in the tabulation of arrests. Police arrested 170 people on alcohol-related charges in comparison to 400 during the Varsity Villas incident. Being inconspicuous was not a priority when the police were looking for potential alcohol-related offenders during the weekend. "There was a helicopter hovering over the Sammy [Sigma Alpha Mu] house with a spotlight. I think the police were a little overly cautious," Sacks said. "It was still a wild weekend, but the overabundance of security has slightly curtailed the rowdiness of the whole thing." "We were having a party and my roommate got back from getting a keg, ... and we were all outside and we saw the helicopter above our apartment complex. We all waved because ... we were all 21 or older," senior Vanessa Sute said. In an attempt to curb drinking, students could purchase tickets for the Saturday night concert.

Rhythm guitarist Kelly Deal began to warm up as drummer Jim MacPherson, British bassist Josephine Wiggs and lead guitarist Kim Deal followed suit. Suddenly the crowd came alive and began chanting for them to play the crowd's favorite songs. The band responded with "New Year" from their Last Splash album, and then
went to "Hellbound." The show was never short of entertaining as Kim Deal switched guitars for each song during the first five songs of the set and offered several chain-smoking guitar sections. Proving women could play the drums, too, Wiggs took over for MacPherson while he switched to the bass during "Roi." "Jim tends to get a little carried away on guitar," Kelly Deal said to the crowd. "He usually ends up breaking five strings a night." The two sisters did a little switching as well when Kim
took over the vocals during one of the night's best songs, "Head to Toe." One of the biggest highlights of the evening came when the band played their chart-topping single, "Cannonball." Anyone concerned with the lack of dancing before was not bothered during the hit song as crowds jumped to their feet. Although the soundman had a little trouble hooking up the distortion microphone, the song sounded even better live. Sherwani said, "'Cannonball' is a really hard song to play live, but I

think they carried it off really well." The band ended its hourlong concert at 1:30 a.m. with "Divine Hammer," which Kim described as "a folk song, a spiritual song, a song about fellowship and Christianity." Still wanting to hear and see more of the Breeders, the crowd brought the band back on stage for an encore. The group responded with what might have been the strongest part of the concert. Kim and Kelly traded off vocal duties once again during their cover of the Beatles' "Happiness is a
Warm Gun." The Breeders ended the night with two songs from their first album, Pod, featuring Belly frontwoman Tanya Donnelly. "I was really impressed with the band," IUPUI senior Rod Fleming said after the concert. "I will definitely try and see them again." Other students went to the bars for entertainment.

over Bloomington. Red and white heliumfilled balloons were tied to wooden bridges around campus to bring a festive look to graduation, but weekend thunderstorms left the balloons appearing windblown and pathetic. Still, the rain that split IU's commencement into two ceremonies failed to dampen the graduates' enthusiasm. The University planned to hold commencement exercises at Memorial Stadium, but the dismal weather brought the graduates, accompanied by friends and family members, into the roofed Assembly Hall. Space constraints at the basketball stadium forced the Class of 1994 to split into two ceremonies, one at 10 a.m., and a second at 3 p.m. At first glance, May 7
didn't appear to have the makings for a perfect Bloomington graduation. But for the 7,796 students who received their degrees, the weather was insignificant. The weather wasn't the only insignificant part of commencement exercises, former University of Chicago President Hanna Holborn Gray told the Class of 1994. Ironically, Holborn Gray, the commencement speaker, told graduates that the importance of commencement was often inflated. She told her audience that a commencement speaker's "function is to prolong the ceremony, and in doing so, to make it appear that something had really happened here today." While some refer to a graduation as a step into the "real world," Holborn Gray asked the class to consider their tenure at IU to be part
of the "real world" as well. "I hope you will always think of it not as an escape from the world, but as a real world, too," Holborn Gray said. "Without the larger world and its possibilities [it] would be impoverished; the quality of life and its civilizing values and social purposes impaired." The University's decision to invite Holborn Gray to speak at commencement brought criticism from some IU graduates who said Holborn Gray was known only within academic circles. But Holborn Gray, who admitted to her audience that her lone goal was to lengthen the time it took the Class of 1994 to graduate, brought an unexpectedly pleased response from graduates.

After living with AIDS for almost two years, 28year-old Jay Sprinkle is ready to talk. "In the last few years, my whole life has changed, and that's why I can talk about it now."

Roses for Jay t was a very good day for Jay. The sunny, honey-colored warmth reflected light and much life in his tired but happy eyes. At the top of his 6-foot frame was blond hair draping over one eye, and at the bottom, rhinestone cowboy boots Patsy Cline would have killed for. It was the kind of day that most of us enjoy and take for granted that we will see over and over again. For Jay, this day was the kind he lived for, the kind that could almost make him forget the not so honey-colored days. Jay Sprinkle was not dying of AIDS, he was living with it. "I do whatever I can to keep going," Jay said, shrugging. "I miss the old Jay, that's why I always try to be involved in something." The old Jay, as he referred "him," was a high-energy lover of life. Married for a short time at 17, he was on his way up to a management position in the bar industry by 20. He worked an average of 60 hours a week then, and also was a dance instructor. In 1984 Jay, a native of Martinsville, Ind., came home from Florida to go into the service in order to pay for college, so he could excel as a bar manager. What he went into was something completely different.
"I was 20-years old, I found out when I was trying to get into the service. They told me I was an HIV carrier, that's what they called it at the time, and that I didn't have the disease. My family doctor said not to worry about it." He had never heard of HIV or AIDS before that time. What followed his discovery was a trip back to Florida where he continued to work, denying there was anything wrong. The lonely denial he described was coupled with alcohol abuse and a cocaine addiction. "It just scared me. I went back to Florida and threw myself into work. For the next six years, I just didn't face it ... it was to the point where I was numb." Jay never told anyone his status and avoided relationships. "I felt dirty, that I had this disease that could kill anyone. I felt dirty for a long time." Now, with a reassuring stance, he said he didn't. "In the last few years, my whole life has changed, and that's why I can talk about it now." What changed his feelings occurred two years ago in a phone booth on North Walnut Street. "I went to this phone booth on Walnut, across from Hardee's. I called the Bloomington Hospital ... the therapist talked me into coming in to get help," he said. "For two
weeks, I didn't sleep, I had so much on my mind that I was thinking `should I seek help or commit suicide?' The good part of me made me seek help." When he did, he found out that his t-cell count, an index of the immune system's strength, was 46. A normal t-cell count is 1,200. In the two months of interviews and photo shoots with Jay, his t-cell count went from 10 to zero, meaning there was no immune system left to fight against the foreign attackers, even a common cold. It is this component of AIDS that leads way to opportunistic diseases, diseases that result from a lack of immune system protection. "When I was a bartender I could do the job of two to three bartenders and people were proud. But now I can't, and it's frustrating to me because I know the way I used to be and now how I am." And how he is now, in his 10th year sharing his body with HIV and his first year with AIDS, is a fighter. "I've got plans from here to eternity," Jay said. He is a co-director for HAVOC (HIV AIDS Volunteer Outreach Coalition), he is involved in the Buddy support program for AIDS patients, a secretary for the gay and continued

"Thank you so much, I really admire what you're doing," sophomore Jenn Mellen said after seeing Jay's presentation in her sociology class. For the most part, Jay told it like it was, in human terms. He drew pictures depicting the vision loss he experienced, he wrote the names of all 16 drugs he takes daily and he made AIDS a reality for the class. In return, he got looks of compassion, pain, disbelief and stone-solid stillness. "You all have the power to learn and not to be where I am now. When I was infected, the information wasn't out there," Jay said to the class. After being asked how he got the disease, he said people don't ask cancer patients how they got cancer, and in straight-to-thepoint Jay manner, he told them he got it from having unsafe sex. "It doesn't matter what you are, it's a disease and it can happen to you." Jay then ended his continued

speech the same way he had ended previous presentations. "People don't think AIDS is a reality. They don't know anyone who has it," he said as if pleading with the audience to educate themselves, "now, everyone in this room knows someone living with AIDS."

because I have something now that the doctors don't know what it is, and they don't know what to do for me," he said, as the pain showed in his face. "It feels like someone constantly stabbing me in my forehead ... there were two times when I felt I could have given up," he said. Then his smile returned. "So leave it to me to do something different." He said constant pain, nausea and fatigue were a normal day for him. A disease of the eyes that impairs vision was detected in October, 1993, a few months after Jay quit working. It
was caught in time to save most of his vision in his right eye, but not the left. He could no longer drive. "You have to see this," he said one day, laughing, "it's a notice from the BMV [Bureau of Motor Vehicles] that says my license is being revoked." Jay had been pulled over for driving while intoxicated (DWI) almost two years prior. "What they don't realize is that Mother Nature beat them to it."

hospital too much. Visits to the emergency room had become more frequent that year and by the new year, Jay had been going to hospital every day for treatments. "It's like wearing an old hat," he said as we followed him down the hall and past all of the friendly faces that greeted him. He boasted that he knew everyone of the nurses on the floor and that they let him answer the phones. "You guys should hire me," he said. Jay saw these people every morning as he went to get a transfusion of medication that kept him from going completely blind and that prolonged his life. Jay had what his friend and Coordi-

nator of Outpatient Oncology Janice Goodroad, called a port. It was located beneath a few layers of skin on Jay's chest and receives medication for quicker absorption into the blood stream via the main artery to which it is attached. As Jay prepared for the infusion, Janice taught him with a model replica how to insert the needle. But Jay denied that he would be doing this at home. "Home is not a hospital yet," he said. "Besides, I like to see Janice." "You better say that you like to see me Jay! Remember, I'm the one who sticks needles in your arm," Janice said. Then, after he had helped her clean the area, the one-hour infusion began and there was more important subject matter to be discussed between the two.
"I hate it when I see white performers doing black music. It just doesn't look right," he said. To escape from the everyday struggle of living with AIDS, Jay does drag as Taylor Thomas. "When I'm Taylor, I'm not Jay with AIDS but a healthy young woman ... who's sweet but a little bad, too." Jay said he was the reigning Miss Vamptime Vanities, a local female impersonator pageant title. Sure enough, Taylor was one girl who refused to leave the stage, much like Jay's ambition to never give up. "People really get to know each other in here," Janice said smiling, "we talk about food. That's what we do in here. We talk about all aspects of life." Some of the many were movies they had seen, his recreational therapy project and her Kawasaki that needed work. "I

can look at it for you, Janice," Jay said as Janice injected another medication into his arm that controlled his white blood cells. "This one burns if it's cold," Jay said. With the seemingly endless prescriptions and medications he was on to keep him alive, Jay looked ahead to his future. "I want it to be quick," he said of dying. "I don't want to be a vegetable. I know I'm going to die ... it's harder when you know and you're waiting for it. I sometimes wonder if this was my last Easter." Jay said he thought about his father, who is 68, and how he will die before him. "That's the scariest," he said. But he said he had no regrets. "Just knowing that it could be sooner than I want it to be. Gerry and I have shared a good time together and
that's what counts. I never thought I'd have that again. That's why it makes it sad sometimes because I know it's getting close. Why couldn't I have met him sooner ... made my friends here sooner?" he said, as if expecting an answer, "But then again, we've all been a part of each other's lives too." "I want my friends to do mine," he said. As Jay walked through the AIDS quilt displayed in early April, he had a look of peace. Then, as he bent down to write a message on the blank panel, he complained, "There are too many J's in here!" His message read: "... my friends, I will see you all someday." Within a few minutes, he was making plans for his performance as Taylor just a few days away. "What? I'm not going to hide out!
I'm going to have fun to the very last dance," he said as he put on his makeup. The transformation from Jay to Taylor was amazing. He held his body differently as if the pain vanished. His facial expressions were more emphatic and energized. As he had said it would be, Jay had escaped AIDS through Taylor, if even for a night at Bullwinkle's. "Ever since I was 17, I was always running from something," Jay said, lipstick in hand. "You guys know that horse song?" he giggled as he referred to "Run for the Roses" by Dan Folgelberg. "The one where the horse runs this race and it's really awful, but he finally wins and gets the roses hung around his neck? That's my song. I have found my roses, I don't have to run anymore."

JAKE'S
bursts with big BANDS hile September brought an abundant load ofschool Wwork to students, Jake's Night Club brought bands big on the college music scene to those who yearned for more than just the typical garage-band event. Three national bands jammed at Jake's, and school had only been in session for a month. They Might Be Giants, Mathew Sweet and Big Head Todd and the Monsters kept people on their feet and their musical palettes satisfied. While the event was not necessarily a battle of the bands, it was a battle for students to protect their dancing space as monstrous volumes of people crammed into Jake's. Perhaps Mathew Sweet described the claustrophobic feeling best in his introduction to the original song "Knowing People." Sweet said, " "Sometimes you don't like knowing about people, and you don't like people knowing you." Brooklyn-based They M ight Be Giants commenced the musical extravaganza. Their blend of zany lyrics, distinctive vocal sounds and a rocking accordion pulsed through Brian Hope, the audience. The rest of their show continsenior ued with an entertaining mixture of old favorites such as "Particle Man" and new songs such as "I'll be Sleeping in the Flowers." Junior J ill Stricter said, "Theywere great! The show was so energetic, it was even better than I'd thought it would be."
Phis was Big Head Todd, so I figured that I had to come see them."
By the time the excitement of They Might Be Giants had worn off, Matthew Sweet came to town. He managed to stage a near sell-out show on Sept. 20. Backed by a guitar, bass and drums, a brilliant noise emanated from Sweet and his band. Sweet played the song "Wanted To Tell You," a cut that received lots of radio play, and fans waited anxiously to hear it. Dressed in black with a matching demeanor, he was intense and serious throughout the evening, especially while playing songs such as "Someone To Pull The Trigger" and "Evangeline." Senior Mark Sayers explained of his attitude, "I didn't feel like he wanted to be here." Jake's barely had enough time to mop the spilled beer off the floor before Big Head Todd and the Monsters arrived the following night. At first glance onewouldn't think that this nogimmicks band could stir the audience as it did. The rather shylooking lead singer, Todd Park Mohr, sported a rawhide vest, while the rest of the band donned T-shirts and sweatshirts. But their music was anything but tame, especially when they played their own version of the theme song to the western "Rawhide." The three-man band out of Boulder, Cob., shot out a fresh mix ofblues, country and rock and roll to the packed barroom. Although heads bobbed to cuts from their first three albums, they wowed the crowd with their first big hit, "Bittersweet." For fans ofcollege rock, Jake's was the place to be for backto-school concerts. The absurdity of They Might Be Giants, the electricity of Matthew Sweet and the rockabilly sound of Big Head Todd and the Monsters brought hordes of students to Jake's with a diverse show of talent. •

Between ost students have seen The Chosen Few playing somewhere on campus, whether m at a fraternity, a bar or some kind of philanthropic event. In spite of their popularity, these four men managed to remain mysterious to the majority of college students who travelled in droves to listen to them play. The Chosen Few started small, playing at an occasional fraternity party, homecoming dance or telethon. The band's real break came in 1989, when they were selected to record a cut on the "Live from Bloomington" album. It was an honor for such a young group to be a part of the 10 elite bands chosen to perform on the record. The album helped The Few kick off their Bloomington career. Soon they began playing at Jake's (now the Mars bar) and the Bluebird, up to four nights a week. From there, the reputation of The Few rose to epic proportions in Bloomington, and they played Wednesday through Saturday night on a weekly basis. The band was booked for events like Little 500 months in advance. Eventually, The Few began touring the Midwest, from the nightclubs in Chicago to the college bars of Lexington, Ky. They were no longer simply faces in the crowd. Taking center stage for The Few was senior bassist Mark Maher.

With their heads bowed and the hoods of their sweatshirts pulled down over their eyes, the Kappamen of Kappa Alpha Psi moved into the crowd below. The dark, densely packed room separated as people parted for the four slowly making their way out to the patio. Outside, other members of Kappa Alpha Psi tried to control the eager crowd and make room for the stepshow that was about to begin.

The four hooded men stood perfectly still with their canes held in front of their faces.

screaming and yelling house chants. Several times when the music stopped to let the four catch their breath, their brothers attacked them like a quarterback on a football field. Within seconds, there was a 15-man pileup in the middle of the dance floor. After several mixes of pulsing music, the Kappamen slowed it down in a show for the ladies. With slow moving bodies grinding in incredibly risque' moves, the men put the finishing touches on the end of the show and coquettish smiles on the women's faces. Despite a few technical difficulties and a couple of dropped canes, the step show was a success. The Kappamen, comprised of senior Jeremy Swift and juniors James Wide, Jimmy Meadows and Brad Townsend, pounded out the rhythm and chanted in time. The Kappamen, together for the first time, performed the 20minute show with little difficulty and with encouragement from the crowd and fellow fraternity brothers. "This was the first time that the four of us were together," Jeremy Swift, Kappa Alpha Psi President, said. "There are usually eight of us when we do a show, but since we knew that we were going to have a small space so we decided to do it with just four." That night, the fraternity opened its doors and welcomed the public to a reggae party and step show. Identity, a band from Columbus, Ohio, one of the few reggae bands in the Bloomington music scene, pounded out the sounds of the islands; the brass section wailing with the tempo. The band has also played at local bars and at the annual Rock 'n' Regg Aid. "The band was incredible," freshman, Nicole Bolden continued

The scene was far from that of an overcrowded bar or the stereotypical fraternity party. There weren't people falling down drunk, and the crowd wasn't a solid color. In a scene unusual to the campus, several different ethnic cultures gathered together for a social event.

"It was the biggest and most diverse event that has brought together blacks, whites, Asians and Hispanics," said senior Jawan Strader, vice president of Minority Greek Affairs for the Interfraterniry Council. "It was great to have so many different cultures come together and have such a good time. It has to be the biggest and best one that this campus has ever seen." "It was good to see so many different cultures and types of people there," second year law student, Benito Hobson said. "I think a lot of barriers could be broken down by
having all of these people come together. Maybe now Greeks can start to get to know and understand each other, and see what each other is all about." In 1911, the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity was founded at IU. The actual house was built in 1961, and has since only had minor renovations. Now, more than 30 years after being built, it is in need of structural repair. "The building hasn't had any structural improvements since it was built in '61," Swift said. "We want to show people that we are interested in raising the money
ourselves, first, and then trying to get others to help us." The Kappas have asked other chapters all over the country to donate money, and trying to get successful alumni such as William Mays of Mays Chemical Company, Inc., of Indianapolis to match what they have raised. Because of the success of the first party, which lasted into the early morning hours, the Kappas are planning to make the step show an annual event. With the $1,500 they raised, the Kappas are on their way to finish the needed improvements on the house.

It was not surprising that Dorkestra told interesting tales, as the members had colorful backgrounds. Karl Meyer taught himself to play the violin, holding his first performances in his hometown church. Drummer Dan Vonnegut is third cousin to the novelist Kurt Vonnegut. "Unfortunately there aren't that many students who listen to folk music in this community," senior Trena Depel said. "But I've watched Dorkestra for the past three years and some skeptical friends of mine who I've taken to the shows, you know, those who thought everyone would be sitting in a big circle singing rounds of 'Kum bay yah,' have walked out buying their CDs." Originally from New York City, Dorkestra has played as far east as Boston, and as far west as Kansas City. The band was best known for its original scores and unique blend of folk rock, deep blues and classical music. The band was also widely known for its humanitarian efforts. "They are very peaceful and willing to help out. They do benefits all the time," Depel said. Dorkestra orchestrated peace by giving a complimentary concert sponsored by Project Peace, an organization whose goal was to promote harmony and to teach methods of nonviolent diplomacy to students. The show was part of a series of events on campus sponsored by Project Peace.
While it was not the band's first shot at inspiring humanitarian action, or encouraging global understanding, for the first time they shared their views within the confines of Alumni Hall. Aside from venturing out on their own, Dorkestra often teamed up with other local performers in song. On Nov. 17 Dorkestra joined other local artists, including Carrie Newcomer, in a benefit concert for Planned Parenthood in celebration of prochoice week. The acoustic extravaganza was titled "Singers and Songwriters in the Round." It was an informal exchange of ideas and songs. Many students Trena Depel, could identify with the band's senior point of view on important issues in the media. "It's great to see the musicians be able to express themselves freely and to express their ideas, especially about pro-choice in their music," second-year graduate student Melissa Bishop said. Dorkestra gave free concerts throughout the year at Collins Living Learning Center. "I saw them there once while visiting a friend. I remember being really stressed out about a paper or something," senior Julie Kennedy said. "Kicking back and listening to them for a while really took the edge off." •

CELEBIRATION he day after the Kirkwood Block Party, a passer-by would have noticed a huge wooden ramp, sand scattered in the street and an "out of service" automatic teller machine. This marked the aftermath of the first annual Kirkwood Block Party. The party was designed to promote local businesses, collect contributions for charitable causes and build rapport between local merchants, residents and students. Kirkwood Street closed to motorized traffic from Indiana Avenue to Grant Street on Oct. 2. A variety of entertainment including food, sidewalk sales, live music, free skate rentals and kiddie games occurred. Wrapped in Action, an aerobic facility located in the middle of Kirkwood, sponsored a rollerblading team from Chicago that performed daring feats that had the crowd gasping. "I thought that the last guy to jump was going to kick her in the head," juniodeffKennedy said. Rollerbladers who hurdled over nervous volunteers from the crowd and then over a shiny red Honda Prelude were the highlights of the demonstration. The warm fall afternoon was perfect for street volleyball. People played in tournaments sponsored by Kilroy's bar on a sand court set in the middle of the closed-off street. Remnants of sand lingered on Kirkwood until the street cleaner washed them away.
Aside from sporting events, most of the action surrounded two stages. Free live music was performed on both an acoustic stage and an electric stage by nine local bands. Throughout the day, Carrie Newcomer, The Dynamics, Bill Wilson, The Why Store, Davis Devity, The Vulgar Boatmen, The Dorkestra, Speed Luxury and Johnny Socko rocked the block. "My friends and I stopped by the Block Party on our way somewhere else and we ended up staying and listening to the Vulgar Boatmen. There were a lot of people who were hanging out and sitting in the street listening to the bands," senior Stacy Banik said. Students mingled with residents and vendors while thumbing through posters, jewelry and Dr. Suess T-shirts from local establishments. "The atmosphere was really laid back and artsy," senior Celesta rtor nio ju Howe said, eating Ben and Jerry's ice cream and browsing through a table of African wares. The party closed with a finale when Johnny Socko's sax player, Josh Silbert, dove into a crazed mass of students moving to the band's funky beat. •

LIFETIME usical bass resonated through the vaulted ceiling of the Fieldhouse where color-coded groups of 500 restless bodies converged to show their support for Riley Children's Hospital. Kicking off with anxious participants on Oct. 2, the third annual Dance Marathon added some newcomers to the festivities and welcomed back old friends. But experience level became irrelevant as veterans and newcomers alike learned what was required of them in order to participate and succeed in Dance Marathon. The dancers collectively sacrificed their time and energy to create "The Chance of a Lifetime to Give a Lifetime of Chance" for the children at Riley Hospital. Preparation for Dance Marathon began in January, months before the event took place. The organizing committee, composed of 15 members, aided in the preliminary activities. A prodigious undertaking on behalf of the committee, Dance Marathon synchronized the activities of 500 dancers, all of whom gyrated to raise money in a music-filled 36-hour period. The proceeds from the Marathon were contributed to the construction of the Ryan White Infectious Disease Center at Riley Hospital, in Indianapolis. Dance Marathon was established by the students in February 1991, to commemorate White's struggles and to raise social consciousness about AIDS and its victims. Select speakers were invited to address the dancers
during the Marathon. The surging crowd grew silent and its disjunctive movements ceased as one particular speaker took the stage. Jeannie White, mother of Ryan White, made an appearance to deliver motivational words to the dancers. "I want you to think about why you are here. No matter what happens in your future lifetime, your problems are only as big as you make them," she said. Her words drew cheers from the crowd. Dance Marathon included an abundance of musical entertainment which added to the spirit of enthusiasm, leaving no dull moments. Popular Bloomington bands such as The Chosen Few, Two-Penny Hangover, House Marys and Situation Grey donated their time to the Marathon's cause as well. Laura Mendenhall, WIUS filled in with recorded sophomore music to keep the dancers awake when the bands weren't playing. Group sing-alongs managed to resurrect such classics as "YMCA," by the Village People, "Elvira," by the Oak Ridge Boys and "I Will Survive," by Gloria Gaynor. The Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity put on an invigorating step show for the dancers, who swayed to the rhythm of the continued

The posters, with their mottoes of ambition, fanned the crowd of dancers, encouraging them to "Take A Stand for Those Who Can't."

No matter what the activity, enthusiasm and a sense of unreserved energy pervaded the Fieldhouse. The group activities demonstrated such inclusion of every individual that the Marathon seemed a carnival of events. "Sometimes I feel tired, but then I see the Riley kids and they are really inspiring," Mendenhall said. Several children and parents of children who were patients at Riley Hospital attended the Dance Marathon, adding their moral support as well.

His mother said he had looked forward to this event all year. "This is my third Marathon and every year it has grown. I am just amazed that the people have this much compassion. You can tell that they care," said Bonnie Flick, mother of 16-year-old Davey, who was born with cystic fibrosis. If the money raised was an indication of how much they cared, then Riley Hospital truly had a friend in the

The unusually high proceeds from the Marathon proved that multiple energies all coming together for the same purpose could truly create "The Chance of a Lifetime to Give a Lifetime of Chance." A feeling of euphoria quickly filled the Fieldhouse when the final countdown began, signaling the end of the third annual Dance Marathon. The dancers' jubilation mounted as vibrant shouts of success swelled from within the Fieldhouse. Many participants suffered from aching bones and sore muscles following Dance Marathon. However, the efforts that left students exhausted helped to raise an unprecedented total of $66,112 to benefit the patients at Riley Children's Hospital. •

STUDENTS omewhere Glenn Miller was smiling. Through the S sheer power of music, Al Cobine and his band transformed the high, arched windows and heavy wood paneling of Alumni Hall into a grand, big-band dance hall. The big-band sound was composed of many brass horn solos weaving in and out of the music, while highlighting the rest of the band. The brassy, foot-tapping sound resonated inside Alumni Hall. Trumpets soared and trombones slid while cymbals crashed out swing rhythms of songs such as "All of Me," "The Candyman" and Irving Berlin's "What Will I Do?" The movie theme song "Lara," from "Doctor Zhivago," was made into a romantic interlude. While big-band records were absent from most students' music collections, the sound still l ives on in contemporary American culture. "I absolutely love big-band music," sophomore Jenny Lewsader said. The songs from the '40s became romantic standards that lingered in movies such as "When Harry Met Sally" and "Sleepless in Seattle." For one evening, students went back in time to the USO, as couples danced cheek-to-cheek while Cobine and his band played a variety of big-band tunes. There was something for everyone that night, and many did not stay

seated for long periods of time, only resting for a few seconds before hitting the dance floor again. Meanwhile older couples fox-trotted and tangoed on the floor, dancing to the music and perhaps remembering the tune from their first date. Some started out stiffly, but as the music played on, they gradually fell into their own romantic rhythms. "The older couples were so cute on the dance floor. It gave me a good feeling to see them dancing out there. They were really elegant," sophomore Kim Weddle said. Students danced to the nostalgic music, but their steps were never quite as smooth or as natural as those of their counterparts. They did not know the dances that made the Big Band era famous; they could only awkwardly mimic what the older dancers did as many students caught the beat just a second out of time. They watched their elder counterparts with admiration, often stepping aside to let them glide past. The highlight of the evening was the song "That Man Quincey," written for musician, composer and producer Quincey Jones. Although it was written in the '70s, it had all the stylings of a big-band song. By the end of the night young and old alike had sore feet. "Al Cobine led his band superbly," Weddle said. Cobine is a resident of Bloomington and was known for his arrangements for the Singing Hoosiers. He has played and toured with musicians such as Johnny Mathis and Henry Mancini. •

Jean Pierre Bonnefoux, chairperson of the ballet department and artistic director of the Ballet Theater, choreographed "Bearbeitungen uber das Glogauer Liederbuch" for the second piece. This particular piece had a traditional German folk sound to it. The folk elements of the music complemented the dancers' peasant-like costumes. The movements were humorous and simple throughout this short piece. Sophomores Brandon Sarago and Lance Hardin played jesters as they somersaulted their way to the end of the movement, "Dy Ezels Crone." Hardin also bashfully followed his partner, freshman Anna Smith, like a shy lover. Sarago and his partner, sophomore Amy Banford, mirrored each other. The games and the scene ended with Hardin planting a kiss on Smith, while the rest of the dancers surrounded them. "Gypsy Suite," choreographed by Mark Diamond, a faculty member of the University of Cincinnati's College Conservatory of Music, was the most theatrical of the three. For the first time, the curtains were closed as the opening music played. This tactic was used in order to heighten the audience's anticipation. The curtains opened to a plush forest scenery. Cap-
tured by the dramatic elements, the audience watched as dancers sauntered across the stage in an assortment of characters, ranging from fortune tellers to thieves. One highlight of the piece was Sarago as he dynamically performed multiple pirouettes with incredible control. Another was when Wright held Cook high above his head as he slowly turned in the touching scene, appropriately named, "Turning Couple." Through the ballet department's exceptional array of talent in both choreography and dancing, the Fall Ballet provided a creative performance.

BALLET celebrates CENTENARY nowflakes cascaded onto the stage, ballerinas dressed S as flower petals and a sugar plum fairy pranced around the stage as the Ballet Theater presented its 35th annual presentation of Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky's "The Nutcracker." One hundred years after Tchaikovsky's death, "The Nutcracker" continued to charm audiences. Yearly, more people attended "The Nutcracker" than any other IU event, except football and basketball games. More than 8,000 people viewed the three performances of the ballet. The ballet's first performance took place at the Maryinsky Theatre of St. Petersburg on Dec. 18, 1892. The story is set in Germany and is about the Silberhaus family experiencing Christmas. In celebration ofthe centenary ofTchaikovsky's death, costumes were designed for the second act of the ballet. "In this ballet, we wanted a very grand setting," said Robert O'Hearn, chairman of the design department. "We had an 18th century perspective. The costumes are exquisite with Arabian dancers in Aladdin apparel, Spanish catalina dancers full of fluff and ruffles and Chinese characters promenading in kimonos." BY
Senior Shannon Gregory said, "I liked the green- and white-striped, life-sized candy cane people. They looked good enough to eat. They used these white, ribbonlike flags and flipped them around and around the stage. It reminded me of that event in the Olympics. It was so majestic." In one scene, the character Mother Ginger wore a skirt 10feet wide by 6-feet deep, in order to hide her 20 little boys underneath. Junior Chris Wert said, "It puts a whole new meaning to the phrase, 'hiding under your mother's dress.'" Ironically, Mother Ginger was played by a male actor, senior Robert Sullivan, Eric Fermaglich, in the ballet. "There were fair maidens in junior gallant dresses, women floating through the air and surreal, passionate music. How can you beat that?" junior Eric Fermaglich said.

PAST magine a village, not to be found on any map, that has I been put under a spell that seems to make time stand still. The production of "Brigadoon" April 19 brought that town to life in the IU Theater. In the town of Brigadoon, every night represented the passing of 100 years in the "real" world. The story began in 1946 when hunters Tommy Albright and Jeff Douglas stumbled onto a hidden village in the Scottish Highlands. Unable to find the town on their charts, Albright and Douglas became puzzled. But they were completely shocked by the appearance of the townspeople, who all dressed as if they lived in the 17th century rather than the 19th century. The story developed into a love story between Tommy Gabe Paige, Albright, played by junior sophomore Cameron Andrews, and a beautiful resident named Fiona, played by graduate student Charlotte Dick. The talent of the cast members entertained the audience for the entire evening. "Meg Brockie was hysterical," senior Brandy Worland
"I'm not crazy about the actual musical, just because it's so far from reality, but the set design and costumes were incredible."
said ofjunior Janelle L. Morey, who played the sex-crazed milkmaid who lusted after the character of Jeff Douglas, played by graduate student Robert Johansen. "She played the part so well!" Worland said. The character of Meg represented one of the several "side stories" that accompanied the main love story between Tommy and Fiona. In addition to the top-notch performances ofthe cast, the unique set impressed the audience and added to the production. "The set was absolutely incredible," sophomore Gabe Paige said. "I'm not crazy about the actual musical just because it's so far from reality, but the set design and costumes were incredible." Because of the wide acclaim "Brigadoon" received on stage, it eventually was made into a movie. Like many students, freshman Nicole Bolden remembered the movie and decided to see the live production in the IU Theater. "It was great," Bolden said. "I love the songs, especially `The Heather on the Hill.' And Fiona had the most incredible voice." The IU Ballet Department's creative and complex moves enhanced the vocal talents of the cast. Grande jettes, pirouettes and lifts packed every scene. "I didn't expect ballet," freshman Heather Worely said. Worely attended the production twice as a requirement for a theater class. "It really surprised me that there was so much [ballet] in [the show]," Worely said. •

STORY • • • hey're back and more "Brady" than ever. Mike, Carol, Greg, Peter, Bobby, Marcia, Jan, Cindy and Alice set up camp at the Auditorium for one night of Brady Bunch madness Feb. 10. The Bradys followed "The Real Live Game Show," a parody of daytime game shows, which became popular in the 1970s. The Annoyance Theatre in Chicago began hosting both the game show and "Brady Bunch Live" to form "Real Live TV Night," an evening of entertainment that ran successfully in New York City and Los Angeles. The long-awaited national tour began in March 1993 and almost a year later made its way to the Auditorium. The evening's entertainment had roots close to home. Both Faith Soloway, the co-creator of "The Real Live Brady Bunch," and Eric W. Waddell, the man behind "The Real Live Game Show," were alumni. For their audience, the creators targeted the 20-something generation. This group grew up watching one of America's favorite families, and they often saw many game
shows, which were popular during the Brady era. "The Real Live TV Night" proved to be a night of comic relief for most. A huge, plaid couch sat in the orchestra pit for the couch potatoes with front row seats. Bright white lights illuminated the set, while student contestants performed stunts to win prizes. The Annoyance Theatre's game show was improvisational. "Nothing quite like it is likely to be seen on 'real' TV. Maybe something similar could be seen on `Saturday Night Live' episodes," senior Gabi Klausner said. Four students were chosen from the audience to sweat it out through three intense rounds of game show activities. In the first round, the emcee Dale O'Donnell from the continued

In the remaining rounds some students had to sing with headphones. They did their best to sing to Madonna's "Like a Virgin" and The Police's "Roxanne." The audience voted for its favorite contestant at the end of each round by a show of hands. The participating students turned their backs to the crowd and were told the winner would receive a car. Commercials were sponsored by local establishments such as the retail clothing store Cha Cha, Argentum Jewelry and Holiday Inn entertained the audience during the vote. In the final round, the students acted in a soap opera
screen test. The male contestants acted out a scene in which an ex-lover returned from her grave coupled with immortality and a sex change. The winner left with a new set of keys — to a rental car, compliments of Classic Touch Limo. "We said you could win a car; we didn't say you could keep it," O'Donnell said.

promised Mrs. Robbins that she hired someone famous to play at the high school prom. When it looked like she had failed, she whined, pouted and stomped around in her miniskirt in true Marcia Brady style. With the help of her brothers and sisters, and some parental advice, Marcia was not only able to get Davy Jones to play at her prom, but he also agreed to personally escort her to the event. The costumes worn in the performance also provided moments of hilarity, and in some cases, reminiscing. Jan had on tight, striped bell-bottoms and a fuzzy vest crocheted in psychedelic colors. Although it was evident that her long, yellow hair was a wig, she tossed it around when she trampled up the stairs just like the "real" Jan. "I like the way she ran around the room and how she said 'WOW!'" sophomore Melissa Logan said. The creativity of the set, cast and costumes made this
bunch of Bradys an authentic 1970s sitcom family. "My wife is a Brady Bunch fanatic. I didn't know this, but according to her, every line of the play, all of the jokes and even the applause were exactly the same as that episode," Professor Morgan Swink said. Alice, who had a brief part in the Davy Jones episode, appeared in the end and sang a parody of "White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane. Greg, Peter and Bobby had minimal roles in the performance as well. The actors portraying Mike and Carol Brady used excessive body language throughout most of the performance. They were characterized by shaking heads and inward groans. But, all of the pseudo-Bradys shined when they sang "Sunshine Day" just before the curtains closed. "It was definitely a baby boomer night of nostalgia for those of us that are over 30," Swink said. •

WIZARD wh
hen Frank L. Baum wrote "The Wizard of Oz," he dedicated it to the young at heart. And for many years, the young at heart have enjoyed the story, either in book form, or in the 1939 movie. Now they can see it on stage. The story of "The Wizard of Oz" became popular for its subtle criticism of political and economical conditions of the 1930s. The international musical came to IU with all the glory and magic of the movie on which it was based, but also with something more. Maybe the extra something was a result of additional touches like "The Jitterbug," a song that was not included in the movie. Or maybe the show was special because of the different sets and costumes — the originals could not be reproduced because of copyright laws. The scenes in Kansas were all in shades of dusty brown and gray, echoing the black and white scenes in the movie. Dorothy, played by Kim Smith, sang "Over the Rainbow" with the appropriate mixture of sadness and hope. Ellen Martin snarled and grimaced with finesse as the evil Miss Gultch, who later turned into the despised Wicked Witch of the West in Dorothy's tornado-induced fantasy world. To re-create the twister that whisked Dorothy to Oz, a miniature version of the farmhouse floated across the Auditorium and a light swirl twirled on the stage to make the audience feel as if they were trapped in a tornado. The colorful sets of Oz contrasted with the faded sets of Kansas. Everything from the costumes to the set emitted lively colors and wild patterns. In Baum's book, the sun's glare off the emeralds in the Emerald City of Oz was so bright the characters needed to wear sunglasses in order to
prevent blindness. In the play, the sets for Oz looked like gigantic green crystals, and all the inhabitants wore peasant-like costumes and green sunglasses. Matthew MacDougal played the Scarecrow, losing his stuffing while clumsily walking and dancing across the stage. He was even torn in two when attacked by flying monkeys in the second act, with his head and chest above the stage and his "legs and feet" dangling a few inches away. The Cowardly Lion's forest did not have a set. Instead, the stage was dark and empty. A strong voice pierced the darkness as Lennie Watts, the Cowardly Lion, sang "If I Were King of the Forest," pausing dramatically between words for comic effect. Although the costumes were not exact duplicates from the movie version of "The Wizard of Oz," they added to the authenticity of the performance on stage. The flying monkeys resembled ferocious gargoyles with long claws, beaked noses and huge wings. To portray the little Munchkins, some of the cast members moved around the stage on stools that had wheels. Others, such as the Lollipop Guild and the Lullaby League, were acted out by a cast member and a few life-size puppets attached to other actors' hands and feet. "The idea to have the Munchkins on stools was ingenious. It added an unexpected twist to the characters," sophomore Kristy Tuzikowski said. •

CAST shines in
PRODUCTION lowing with barely a hitch, the Feb. 26 Union Board F production of "Evita" captivated its audience. The opera is a string of scenes intended to run into each other, an effect achieved with minimal set pieces and clever choreography. But these effects would not have worked if it were not for the strength of the cast. And no one rose to the occasion more than senior Renee Foster, as Evita. Foster shone with all the energy and ambition of Eva Peron. She displayed vocal and dramatic talent, first sensual and driven, later frail and defeated as her bout with cancer took its toll. Foster stirred emotions ofexcitement and disdain with her addresses to her people, particularly poignant moments that built on the audience's love/hate relationship with Eva. From the strength Foster displayed on stage, one could see the hard, cruel life Eva endured and fought to escape. Senior Cameron Andrews in the role of Che, the narrator and tour guide of the story, counteracted Eva with his own strength. As the "voice of reason," his vocal intensity increased as he became angrier and more frustrated as Eva gained power from her adoring public. Andrews had a commanding figure on stage, entertaining and exciting to watch as he stormed in and out of the action. His clever asides added insight to the action. Juan Peron, played by senior Tim Tenhumberg, didn't require the same energy as the other two leads. Peron, a soldier, contained his enthusiasm and emotion as he crept up the political ladder. Tenhumberg played this character with the necessary dignity and militant rigidity. For a show such as "Evita," it was necessary not only
"It was great to see Union Board put on such a classy show ... "

to have strong leads, but also a strong supporting cast and chorus. Because so much of the story was told through singing, the chorus was essential to putting on a tight show. The rich sound they produced filled the Creative Arts Auditorium, with highlights as "A New Argentina" and "Santa Evita." But the chorus' acting was equally good. Whether aristocrats or peasants, they were always in character. No one person stood out above the rest; all worked to create a whole picture of poverty and desperation in the lives of the Argentine people. Senior Brett Harwood, stage director, was responsible for creating interesting images that captured the feelings of the people and the atmosphere of the times. In one scene, generals and military figures musical chairs depicting the instability of the Argentine political system. When Eva and Peron met for the first time, tango dancers off to the side of the stage danced sensuously, depicting the attraction the two characters felt for each other. The choreography by first-year graduate student Suzanne Hunt captured the mood of each song, never becoming too flashy or too difficult for the dancers to tackle. One highlight of the show was the energetic dance number to "Buenos Aries." Foster and the chorus danced with confidence to the Latino beat, demonstrating yet another of their talents. The only downside to the performance was the orchestra, especially the trumpets, which had some trouble with the high notes in the beginning of the show. But by the second act, they corrected their problems, and were able to redeem themselves. "Musically this is Lloyd Webber's most difficult show to produce. It was great to see Union Board put on such a classy show independent of the Theatre Department and the School of Music," said freshman Andrew Moulton.

LASS he stairwell leading to the T300 studio on the third floor of the theatre building was covered with advertisements from new and old magazines. In the advertisements models flashed shark-like grins while tanning on sunny beaches, and girls and boys giggled happily as they skipped to a social gathering depicting perfect people leading the perfect life. The IU theatre production of Edward Albee's two-part story "The American Dream" and "The Sandbox" packed the T300 studio to its capacity Feb. 26. The plays were short one-act comedies satirizing the "American Dream." The humor of the shows dichotomized the American ideal of a happy, prosperous home life and the reality of dysfunctional families with various problems. The plot focused on the activities of an off-the-wall family consisting of Mommy, Daddy, Grandma, Mrs. Barker and Young Man. The set design helped demonstrate the materialism of society and the downfall of the "American Dream." The play took place in Mommy and Daddy's "living room," where monstrous, puzzle-like pieces of the American flag hung from the ceiling. An enormous hatbox stood in the center of the stage between a slightly smaller powder puff and a man-sized tube of red lipstick. A diamond ring the size of a coffee table jutted out of the floor to complete the

room's bizarre-looking-but-fashionable decor. The plays mocked the infamous TV families of the 1960s who never worried about "real" problems. Mommy, played by senior Alexandra Aufderheide, domineered the household with stubbornness and irrationality. She alternated inconsistently between yelling at her husband and sweet talking him with her syrupy voice. Daddy, played by graduate student Keith Hale, was a weak man driven into a corner by the never-ending rantings of his insatiable wife. His role consisted of meekly shouldering the torrent of criticism from his unruly spouse. The character of Grandma, played by graduate student Sarah Louise Turner, completed this wacky family tree. Grandma had an unhealthy fixation with packaging things in pretty boxes, and brought many onstage throughout the play to symbolize the outward appearance of a perfect family package. "The Sandbox" was the next installment of "The American Dream." The set changed slightly to signal the beginning of a new play. The hatbox lid became a makeshift sandbox, and the living room was transformed into a beach. Like "The American Dream," the dark humor of "The Sandbox" stemmed from a mockery of dysfunctional family life. The complicated story lines made each role a challenge to the T300 students performing in the plays.

DOGHOUSE I very pet owner who lived in an apartment complex or rented a house had to deal with the same problem. Some paid an extra amount for the privilege of housing a pet, and others simply overlooked that little part of their lease — accidentally, of course. The popular "No Pets Allowed" clause resulted in major headaches for those who wanted to bring their fluffy friends to school. Students who raised objections to the "No Pets" policies made by many apartment managers justified their beliefs in several ways. Most pet owners believed the amount of money they spent on rent more than covered the damages that a pet could inflict on the premises. "We aren't allowed to have pets in the apartments, but I bought Maverick anyway," senior Troy Mickley said. "They take money out of our deposit to clean the carpets at the end of the lease no matter what, so why does it matter if I have a dog or not?" Breaking the rules by illegally housing animals inevitably meant sneaking around on the part of the pet owners. When the landlord showed the apartment, or the mainte-

nance crew fixed something, pet owners carefully hid all evidence of animal habitation. "There have been a lot of times when they would come unannounced," Mickley said. "I would be headed out the basement door with May and his bowls to the neighbors ... a lot of close calls, but we've never been caught." Being caught with an animal by the landlords was devastating financially and emotionally. In addition to the trauma of finding new homes for their pets, some students paid steep fees for each month that they had housed the animals illegally. "I had a Doberman-Rottweiler puppy and somehow my real estate management found out," sophomore Andy Ellet said. "I had to pay a lot of money for having her there and find her a new home. I was down to the final day and couldn't bring myself to take her to the pound, so I took her for a walk on campus. Two girls told me how cute she was and I just handed them the leash. They took her." Reading the fine print of his lease paid off for senior Doug Fahrnow. When the management at his apartment complex discovered that he owned a pet, they tried to force him to remove his animal, saying that the lease gave them the right to do so. However, the lease only said residents owning pets had to inform management or risk continued

"They tried to read something into the lease that wasn't there and were going to make me get rid of Dunbar, but we took it to a lawyer and he said no way. He sent a letter to [management] a month ago and we haven't heard another word from them," Fahrnow said. Although traditional pets like dogs and cats roamed campus frequently, several students enjoyed the companionship provided by unconventional animals such as snakes, lizards and bunnies. Sophomore Tiffany Stonebreaker said she missed having pets around in the dorm, and wanted to bring one of her cats from home to liven up dorm life. This venture proved to be impossible while in the dorms. After moving into an apartment, Stonebreaker

opted to have a bunny to keep her company. "The people at the pet store told me that I could train her to use a litter box, but they didn't show me how. I keep her in a cage in my room, but she gets out to play several times a day. My roommate has a cat and the two play like they are best buddies. It's adorable," Stonebreaker said. Even with all of the problems that resulted from having pets, students continued to keep animals in their apartments and houses. Unfortunately, many students chose to release their pets rather than take them home over the summer. The humane shelter intervened to keep the stray population down. "We just caution students about the responsibility that goes along with having a pet," said Michelle Creek, education coordinator for the shelter. "Someone has to be responsible for them and when the students go home in May, we really like to see the pets that are left behind become part of someone's family."

John Mellencamp's video "When Jesus Left Birmingham" could be the break senior Terra Hoskins needs to launch her acting career.
Caught From Midwestern flannel to risque dance moves,

senior Terra Hoskins debuts in Mellencamp's music video
Film
t first glance, she does not come off as the diligent, focused, senior theatre major. Yet beyond A her jocular face, messy mound of black curls and excited brown eyes, there lies the mind of a determined young woman who knows what she wants and how to get it. When Hoskins learned of the audition for extras in the John Mellencamp video "When Jesus Left Birmingham," she was skeptical. As a double-major in theatre and telecommunications, Hoskins was aware of the odds against her. "If I can't get a part in a play, how can I expect to be on MTV?" Her roommate senior Maurine Callahan said, "We knew it would be a chance for her to meet Mellencamp and Elaine Irwin, who she loves." Hoskins also assumed that the words every out-of-work actor hates to hear, "Don't call us, we'll call you," meant that she didn't have a chance. She did not expect the phone to ring after the brief audition. "I remember thinking that he's not going to want someone that looks like me. I thought he would want a Midwesterner that wears flannels." But Hoskins' "It'll be a cold day in hell" attitude changed. A call from the producer landed her on the set — under the watchful eye of John Mellencamp. "The video was filmed at Lake Monroe with the band playing in the middle of a huge bonfire. There were liquor bottles and fried chicken scattered everywhere. The whole thing felt like Halloween or something. It was supposed to represent a
parry in hell," she said. Cast as an extra, Hoskins knew she would have to knock the socks off Mellencamp and his crew in order to acquire footage in the video. Among her competitors were businessmen, whores, old people and other walks of life as characterized in Mellencamp's vision of contemporary hell. Hoskins began her story with a toss of her curls and a smile. "The music was a slow groove but danceable," said Hoskins, who is partial to techno-dance music. "The props really helped me get into the spirit of the whole thing. I was able to have input on the costume design and planning of my outfit. It consisted of fishnet hose, leggings, a tight skirt, white anklets, black pumps and a tank-top." Hoskins' look was completed with a motorcycle jacket and one handcuff dangling from her tiny wrist ... and lots oflipstick. "I looked really tough," Hoskins said. "The producer stuck me with this guy ... and it just wasn't working, so I snuck in the back. That's when Mellencamp pushed everyone to go over the top and get crazy. I knew that I would have to keep my imagination going and keep my mind occupied. What else could I do to get this whole thing to be interesting? So I ended up dancing with two other guys. It was like a great improvisation thing," she said. Hoskins and some of her cohorts quickly got Mellencamp's attention. "We became the ones John watched. We did a mock S & M [sadomasochism] thing. I wouldn't have done it unless I felt corn-

fortable with the other theatre majors. I mean I think it's more acceptable in society for a guy to do this sort of thing." Hoskins was somewhat apprehensive about performing risque dance moves. "Because my mother will see this," she said and laughed. Hoskins viewed her role in the video as a giant step forward. "Other extras grew really irritated by the end of the day because of the long hours, or the fact that they couldn't get Mellencamp's autograph or something," she said. "But those people have to realize that our job was to work hard and finish the video." After all was said and done, Hoskins was only shown for a few seconds in the video. "Even I have to really search to find myself on the screen, but I consider myself lucky to be featured at all. The experience simply inspired me to go after what I want in life. It doesn't matter when you start or how, you can just do it." Of her plans after graduation, Hoskins said with a smile, "I'm going to go home for a year and think about it. I want to act and write ... maybe in New York City. But then I don't know if I could handle the competition." •

BLOOMINGTON CCA. in' t Life Grand," the title of Widespread Panic's new album, described the band's feelings about their new-found fame among college students. After performing 200 shows in 1993 and traveling with the Horizons of Rock Developing Everywhere (HORDE) Festival tour for the past two summers, the Atlanta-based band has gained "widespread" recognition throughout the nation. Most people described the music of Widespread Panic as a New Orleans jazz, Mississippi Blues and Southern rock groove, but they have been called everything from neo-hippy to psychedelic. Whatever their classification, they appealed to a wide variety of music lovers. Widespread was especially famous for its long jams in which guitarist Michael Houser sometimes led for 10 minutes or more. Many bands attempted to reach the intense instrumental sound for which Widespread has become known, but no other group has been as successful. Their talents for interacting with each other guaranteed that no two shows were ever the same. "We are growing in the same direction naturally, with what is popular," John Bell, the group's lead vocalist, said. "There is a suitable ground for our music. People are buying it and going to our shows, because they want to hear a new sound." Although Widespread has been compared to such bands as the Allman Brothers and the Grateful Dead, they continually achieved their own unique sound. During 1993's HORDE Festival, Widespread played to more than 175,000 people in 26 cities, never failing to pack in a venue. The tour brought together an eclectic mix of groups that included such acts as Blues Traveler, Big
Head Todd and the Monsters, Phish and Colonel Bruce Hampton. Widespread Panic first started playing together during college at the University of Georgia in Athens. John Bell and Michael Houser performed together at bars and fraternity parties, and soon formed a trio with David Schools. After going through several bad experiences with percussionists, the group finally found Todd Nance to fill the vacancy on the drums. Eventually, keyboardist John Herman and percussionist Domingo Ortiz joined the group. As part of an eight-week tour John Bell, this spring, Widespread traveled lead vocalist to Bloomington to give Hoosiers a taste of their southern rock flair. The band rocked Mars nightclub March 28, with original smashes from their latest album, "Everyday." Songs such as "Pleas," "Hatfield" and "Pickin' up the Pieces" kept the audience entertained the entire night. Widespread played several other songs from its first two records, "Space Wrangler" and "Widespread Panic." After packing Mars on their visit to Bloomington, and selling out the Vogue in Indianapolis, the following night, Widespread Panic created a rousing success in the Hoosier state. But the band did not let success of their performances go to their heads. "As long as we are happy, our success is not important," Bell said. "We really just want to give it our best, honest shot." •

Cheers radiated and beers spilled throughout the campus and all the way to Kirkwood as the announcer shouted, "And with only three seconds left, Bailey hits a three to win the game ...

On their arrival back into basketball land, many students once again abandoned their books to meet with friends and watch the Hoosiers' final game against Boston College.

The only thing that saved the tournament was seeing Purdue get beat," senior Chad Matchett said. However, IU games weren't the only time people gathered to watch a game. Super Bowl Sunday also provided students with an excuse to procrastinate studying. Senior Heather Hunter said, "My boyfriend, some friends and I watched the game, ate pizza and drank beer." Hunter said she also watched the Independence Bowl while she was visiting a former student in Kansas. "I was in Kansas celebrating New Year's Eve with a former graduate and watched the game in a bar. We had to have the bartender switch the channel so we could watch the game." Hunter also said the people she was with teased her when IU fell to Virginia Tech, 45-20. The Winter Olympic games, and the Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding incident, also entertained students. "I definitely watched the skating and Kerrigan and Harding ... and the opening ceremonies, they were really good, but I think the L.A. Opening ceremonies were better," freshman Heather Smith said. Whether the event was basketball, football or iceskating, many students willingly dropped their books and gladly glued themselves to the television set, when they were unable to attend athletic events. And with so many events to watch, it's a wonder anyone graduated. •

MAKING a
STATEMENT TI
arge ones, small ones, Native American, Celtic ... There were as many varieties of tattoos as there were students who got them. At one time or another during their college careers, many students considered purchasing tattoos to express themselves. Over the past few years, body art in various sizes, shapes and forms, has become a trendy way to be different. Jill Hancock, a tattoo artist at Intricate Ink, said more than half of her business came from students. Hancock usually averaged three to four tattoos per day during a normal business week. The tattooing process itself is simple and may take as little time as 30 minutes, or as much time as several hours, depending on the intricacy of the chosen design. Prior to the actual tattooing, the tattoo artist draws a grease-pencil outline of the design on the body. A tattoo gun traces the outline and punctures the surface of the skin, pushing the ink underneath the outer layer of the skin. Once the dye is injected, the skin remains permanently colored. Although receiving a tattoo could be quick, it was not
a painless procedure. The needle in the tattoo gun often drew blood and caused the customer pain. "It's definitely uncomfortable at first, but after a few minutes, the area of the skin goes numb and your body starts releasing endorphins. It's kind of a rush," sophomore Jeff Kennedy said. While tattoos became more common and popular among college students, they represented marks of individuality and personality. Many students believed their tattoos signified a special side of themselves that they took pride in displaying. Amy "I decided on a hummingbird and flower, because Sheath era actually means singing bird or little flower," sophomore Sheathera Melchior said.

"A tattoo might be cool now, but I don't know if I would want one later in my life. What would my kids think?" senior Amy Ransome said. Several students were also concerned that a tattoo might give a prospective employer the wrong impression. "If I did get one [tattoo] I would have to get it some place where people couldn't see it. That kind of takes away the purpose of the whole thing," junior Ted Brink said. Most students who had tattoos enjoyed the results. "I'd never regret getting mine, but if I'm ever asked to be in a friend's wedding or something similar, my tattoo is going to show," said senior Julie Kennedy, who designed her own tattoo, of ivy in the shape of a heart with red roses around it, on her back. "The jobs that I would like to have and the people I
want to work with hopefully wouldn't care if I had a tattoo," senior Shannon Estes, who sported a tattoo of Tigger on her ankle, said. Tattoos provided a route for expression for many students, but those who wanted to shock their peers with their individuality pierced "exotic" body parts such as noses, eyebrows and even breasts. Although piercing is neither as painful nor permanent as tattoos, those who pierced exotic body parts were generally thought to be radical by their peers. "People always ask me if it hurt, but it's the same as getting your ears pierced," said sophomore Susannah Detlef, who has her eyebrow pierced. Like tattooing, piercing became a way to stand apart from the rest of the world. But those who only wanted to make a temporary statement could easily allow their pierced part to close, while tattoo removal was both costly and painful. "When I did it, it was a spur-of-the-moment kind of thing. I don't think I'll keep it forever," Detlef said. •

"Everyone was out — I was constantly running into people I hadn't seen in a long time. But the best part was hearing Ffudd play. It was just great." Ffudd opened the dreary afternoon and pulled it off with few problems. "It's not a fun time to play," junior Matt Snyder said about his favorite band. Snyder worked with sophomore Ty Price to put the event together. Two stages on opposing sides of Dunn Meadow hosted 15 of Bloomington's not-so-wellknown acts. From the droning sound of Pencil to three eloquent women calling themselves the Smears, about 7,000 students gathered to watch and hear it all. But some students complained about hearing the sounds from both stages as they fiercely overlapped."I wish they wouldn't have had two bands playing at the same time," junior Sienna Farris said.
"Culture Shock is one of my favorite weekends all year ... Everyone was out - I was constantly running into people." Katie King, junior
When the crowd tired of listening to the Smears' screams, they browsed through the unique items at the tables lining the edges of Dunn Meadow. Students crunched on fat-free potato chips and delved into the elephant ears. Vendors displayed their tie-dyed T shirts, handmade silver jewelry and percussion instruments. The instruments made up the third stage with inexperienced passers-by banging senselessly away. A first student-run fashion show enhanced the festival's theme of diversity. "I think it [the fashion show] was pretty successful," said senior Gina Mason, who put the event together. "I didn't expect the reaction from the socalled feminists," she said referring to women who held up signs calling the models anorexic. Live art rounded out the day's exhibits. One artist held a set of handlebars while he covered himself with soup and food, and allowed himself to be carried through a crowd. Another artist pretended to be Harry Houdini, the famous magician. "[Houdini] was wrapped in a sheet and hung from a tree by chains over the Jordan," sophomore Lisa Hensley said. "It was like he was trying to break out of the chains and sheet ... we couldn't believe it," Hensley said. As the day progressed, rain fell but could not keep some students from cheering on their favorite bands. Price was happy the rain allowed him the chance to see his favorite band, the Smears. "I was hoping they would get naked," he said. •

Before the curtains rise thereal performers immortalized in glamorous costumes, unfolding sounds seemingly impossible to achieve with the human voice. Visions of control and grace, unparalleled in beauty and passion, dancing to the unseen strings of a masterful orchestration. The opera has lived throughout Western society as a mainstay of fine culture, a magnet for sheer talent, a sensation to be witnessed in awe. Jules Masenet wrote "Manon" in the tradition of "Les Aventures du Chevalier des Grieux et Manon Lescaut." Set in France during the Regency following the death of Louis XIV, the piece depicted the moral disintegration of Chevalier des Grieux, a young nobleman who became infatuated with Manon Lescaut, a fascinating and immoral young woman. Manon was forced to choose between the love of Chevalier des Grieux and her own material desire for expensive trinkets — a theme that lingers even today. "Manon" was first produced in Paris at the Opera-Comique on Jan. 19, 1884. As the School of Music's 299th production in the Musical Arts Center, the opera was performed Auditorium for the first time since 1980 and 110 years after the original performance. The production of "Manon" was conducted by Imre Pallo, the principal guest conductor of the Budapest opera and former stage director for the Metropolitan opera in New York, and directed by James Lucas. continued

Long before opening night, cast and crew members strove to make "Manon" a success under the weight of more than a century of tradition.

The orchestra, chorus and leads practiced their numbers while the behind-the-scenes work took place.

The costumes were designed and made by the production staff in the Musical Arts Center.

BY RYAN WHIRTY If there was one scene burned into the minds of the 1993 IU football players, it was the one from last year's Old Oaken Bucket clash at Purdue. After Purdue cornerback Jimmy Young picked off now-departed IU senior quarterback Trent Green in the end zone as the final minutes ticked off the clock, thousands of Boilermaker fans streamed onto the field, ripped down the goal posts of Ross-Ade Stadium and celebrated the Boilers' hard-fought 13-10 victory. For the Hoosiers, seeing the Purdue fans in such hysteria was heartbreaking, but not just because the Bucket had slipped through their fingers. The loss represented a frustrating, disappointing season, a season that ended with a 5-6 record and a locker room full of unmatched expectations and crushed dreams. With the dev-
astating loss to Purdue, everything IU had dreamed of and strived to achieve was gone. No bowl game, no winning record, no Bucket, no respect. No respect. The words clanged off the ears of the Hoosiers for nine agonizing months. The team realized as it entered the season that the media, the coaches, even their own fans were not expecting much out of the team. After all, Green, who ended up as one of the best signalcallers in history, was gone, and with him he took the other two 1992 captains, linebacker John Milleranddefensivetackle Larry McDaniel. Also departed was second team All-Big Ten cornerback Mike Middleton, and place kicker Scott Bonnell had also moved on after setting IU career records for field goals and extra points. That was the slate the Hoosiers had to

start with. On the surface, there did not seem to be much potential. Maybe junior wide receiver Thomas Lewis, who was a second-team All-Big Ten pick in 1992, or senior defensive tackle Hurvin McCormack, another second-team AllBig Ten selection, would be able to pull out a few wins for the Hoosiers, people thought. But that's all the Hoosiers had. But the critics were wrong. The Hoosiers had the memory of 1992 in their minds, and they had the desire to purge the bad taste of the previous season from their mouths. The fire drove senior linebacker Charles Beauchamp and senior center Rod Carey to come back from season-ending knee injuries they suffered in 1992. The fire drove junior quarterback John Paci to shake off the skepticism around him and rally his offense to the
end zone. The fire drove the defense, which stifled opponents all year and ended with an 11 th ranking in the NCAA. "As I look at this team over the season, it's a team that made a lot of improvement, and they fought hard in some tough losses," Coach Bill Mallory said. "That was the key ingredient. They never gave up, they never laid down. It was the key to our success." The 1992 campaign was always on the minds of the Hoosiers. The memory drove them through the year, through the preseason disrespect, through the tough losses to Wisconsin, Penn State and Ohio State. Armed with the motto "One Game at a Time," the team was determined to get back what it lost in 1992 — the Old Oaken Bucket, the Bourbon Barrel and the Brass Spittoon. As well as pride, recog-
nition and respect they felt they deserved. "The beginning was really in January after we got back from break," senior guard Todd Smith said. "It was hell. We had all the workouts and all the lifting, and we did it through spring practice and then summer sessions. I just told myself over and over, 'This will all pay off, this will all pay off, this will all pay off ... Two early wins over non-conference opponents did not impress too many people. Toledo fell to the Hoosiers in short order on opening day at Memorial Stadium, 27-0. Then Northern Illinois, boasting the nation's leading rusher in All-American LeShon Johnson, ventured into Bloomington. The Hoosiers held Johnson to a scant 129 yards — about 50 below his season average — and crushed continued

Hoosiers Bring Hawkeyes Demise BY ROSIE PIGA The Iowa Hawkeyes entered Memorial Stadium ready to turn the Hoosiers' Palooza into their first Big Ten victory. But the Hoosiers had other plans. Battling it out on the rain-soaked field, the Hawkeyes and Hoosiers struggled to score in the first quarter. Freshman Bill Manolopoulos attempted to put the Hoosiers on the board, but his 27-yard field goal attempt veered left. IU came back on their next possession and moved the offense inside the five. A fourth down forced the Hoosiers to once again send in Manolopoulos. His 21yard field goal tied the game 3-3. After IU's defense halted Iowa's next drive, the Hoosiers took over and set up Manolopoulos for another field goal attempt, this time — a 41-yarder. The ball sailed between the uprights, and IU went into halftime with a three-point lead. In the second half, IU wasted no time. Paci and junior Brett Law led the attack down the field. Law sealed the Hoosiers' drive with a 1-yard run into the endzone, In only touchdown. Law finished the game with 144 yards. The pigskin was soon hack in Hoosier hands when senior Chris Dyer recovered a fumble on Iowa's kick-off return. A fourth down ended with Manolopoulos kicking a 27-yard field goal, making the score 16-3. The Hoosiers had a chance to put two more touchdowns on the board in the fourth quarter. Paci's pass was intercepted in the endzone on RI's first possession, and on their next offensive attack Paci's touchdown run was nullified by a penalty. After blocking a Manolopoulos field goal attempt, Iowa came back to score on their next drive. But the Hawkeyes' offense started up a little late as the Hoosiers hung on for the Homecoming victory, 16-10.

One Game at a Time the Huskies, 28-10. Then came the much-awaited rematch against the hated Kentucky Wildcats. IU wanted the Barrel back, and nothing was going to get in their way, not even an explosive Kentucky offense. The result was an IU victory of 24-8, with IU outgaining the Wildcats 355 to 233 and vaulting to a flawless 3-0 record. But the accolades did not come. No rankings, no exposure, no respect. It looked as if it would take more to convince people that this was 1993, not 1992.
The following week the Hoosiers blew the perfect chance at gaining respect by losing 27-15 to the Wisconsin Badgers, the team that ended tip winning the Big Ten and earning a trip to the Rose Bowl. On a cold, drizzly day, Badger tailback Brent Moss ate up the IU defense, which had allowed only 692 yards in the previous three games. Moss ran for nearly 200 yards, and Wisconsin rolled up 477 total yards of offense. Meanwhile, the offense, and Paci in particular, continued to struggle. Through the first four games, the offense had averaged only 327 yards per game, and Paci
was dealing with a sore foot and inexperience. The IU running attack, led by juniors Jermaine Chaney and Brett Law and sophomore Michael Batts, was taking up some of the slack behind an improved offensive line led by Carey and Smith. Batts gained 100 yards against Kentucky, but suffered an injury that knocked him out of the rotation before the Wisconsin game, and Chaney had amassed 277 total yards through four games. But it wasn't enough to get the Hoosiers where they wanted to be. A trip to the Minneapolis Metrodome provided a slight boost, as IU held off a late Golden Gopher
flurry to win 21-18. But the victory was unimpressive and lackluster, and the respect the Hoosiers so much wanted to have was not in their pockets yet. The next game provided another chance for the Hoosiers to prove to people that they were a team to be reckoned with. The Iowa Hawkeyes rolled into town for Homecoming, and with them came a sparkling opportunity to show what this year's football team was all about. The result was an inspired 16-10 victory for the Hoosiers, and the win was led by Law, who came off the bench to fight and claw for 140 yards on the ground. But
the additional mark in the win column was not what really mattered. The fact that the Hoosiers had defeated the Hawkeyes for the first time since 1988, and only the second time since Mallory began his tenure in Bloomington in 1984, made it a crucial win. For the first time all season, the Hoosiers had defeated a team with a strong reputation, and with the victory came a 5-1 record and the promise of respect. But that promise soon evaporated. Iowa has traditionally been good, people said, but this year, they're pretty weak. At continued

LUCK RUNS OUT AS HOOSIERS LOSE TO VIRGINIA TECH 45-20 IN INDEPENDENCE BOWL
160 SPORTS
Rarely have 30 seconds been so crushing, so painful, so utterly disheartening as the 30 seconds at the end of the first half of the Independence Bowl, and all the Hoosiers could do was watch it happen, helplessly. After using character and determination during the regular season to earn a bowl game berth, the players could only watch as their dreams evaporated beyond their control. With less than a minute to go in the second quarter and the Hoosiers down 14-13 to Virginia Tech, two freakish plays and an outstanding Tech defense dug the Hoosiers into a hole, and they could not climb out. Two returns for touchdowns one off a junior John Paci fumble, the other off a blocked freshman Bill Manolopoulos field goal attempt with one tick left on the clock— put the Hokies up 28-13 before the half, and the Hoosiers never recovered. The sterling season, an example of what a little heart can do for a team, ended with a crushing 45-20 defeat at the Inde-
pendence Bowl in Shreveport, La. After an 8-3 regular season that had seen the ball bounce their way more than once, luck had run out against the Hoosiers when it really counted. Even coach Bill Mallory could not explain it. "I don't know," Mallory said after the game. "We had good preparation. Our kids were ready. The game just got away from us, especially at the end of the half." "They [Hoosiers] were bound and determined they were going to come back. We just couldn't get on track," Mallory said. But despite the insurmountable deficit, the team continued to play like it had all year — not giving up, never giving up. The Hoosiers might not have won the game, but they did not give up their pride. "We just didn't quit," freshman quarterback Chris Dittoe said, Dittoe replaced the injured Paci in the second half of the game. "When it was 45-13 we wanted to go down and make the score more respectcontinued

Full of Pride able. That's one thing about this team. We didn't give up." For senior defensive tackle Hurvin McCormack, the game was the last of his collegiate career, and the outcome was not the way he wanted his career to end. "It sure wasn't," he said. "But the defense went out and played hard, and we stuck it out together. We've said that all year. When we win, we win together, and when we lose, we lose together. I've had a great career here. I have no regrets." The game was a huge loss for the Hoosiers in another way. Junior receiver Thomas Lewis announced a few weeks later that the Independence Bowl had been his last game as a Hoosier. Lewis, who had broken multiple school and Big Ten records, declared himself eligible for the 1994 National Football League draft. But Lewis made sure he left in style. He caught six passes for an Independence Bowl-record 177 yards, and his two touchdowns in the contest tied a game record as well. On the third possession of the game,
Lewis displayed his talent for the pro scouts, slanting across the middle on third and eight from the IU 25. He snared Paci's pass around midfield, shook a tackler, headed for the right sideline and outran the entire Tech defense for the contest's first score. It was a final highlight in a brilliant college career, a swan song that might never be matched by an IU football player. But for all the personal success, Lewis had a hard time dealing with the loss. "Our team in the locker room [at the half] was really determined and talking about what we had to do to come back," he said. "We were a team. We win as a team; we lose as a team. We've had our backs against the wall before against Penn State and Ohio State. Those teams are just as good as Virginia Tech. We built a lot of character this season." Character. The game — indeed the entire season — came back to that one word. The Hoosiers had earned a trip to the bleak and gray town of Shreveport with character and heart and determination, and even in defeat they refused to be
stripped of this one thing that had driven them through the year. As the Hoosiers filed off the hard, unforgiving grass of Independence Stadium, they held their heads high, silently yet full of pride. "We played good football all year," senior defensive end Lamar Mills said after the game. "This loss is depressing, but you can't weigh a whole season by just one game." Mallory agreed, "I give a lot of credit to our seniors," he said. "They've given us excellent leadership. I'm sorry they had to lose this game. But it's a fact of life. You have to deal with it." The Hoosiers' season had ended on a low note. But the many peaks along the way far outweighed this disappointing moment. Perhaps the day's emotions were summed up best by senior tight end Dan Thompson. "It's a hard way to go out," Thompson said. "But I've had a great career here. People are telling me not to remember my career by what happened today."

Field ootball kicker, redshirt freshman, Bill Manolopoulos finished his first season with a F perfect 27 for 27 record on extra points, and an invitation to join the All-Big Ten team. Yet when Manolopoulos began playing sports in Hobart, Ind., it was a soccer ball he kicked through the goal — not a pigskin. On a Thursday afternoon before the Purdue battle, Manolopoulos casually talked about his football career beginnings and aspirations, his image off the field and the superstitions that prepared him to kick in front of a near-capacity crowd of over 52,000 spectators each week. "When I first started playing football, I never thought I'd ever be a football player," Manolopoulos said. "My dad always wanted me to be a soccer player, and he always used to say 'I'm scared for you to play football, because I don't want you to get hurt.' But one day after soccer practice I started kicking, and I just kept getting better and better. I started kicking on the varsity team my freshman year." Manolopoulos said even though his father still worries, he now supports his son's decision to play football. After years of playing soccer, Manolopoulos needed the help of Hobart High School football assistant coach Don Rogers to adapt his kicking style. "To be a good kicker, you've got to have talent. You've also got to have a desire to go out and practice hours by yourself. You've got to have great mental
strength and confidence," Rogers said. Even though Manolopoulos plays for IU, he still considers Rogers to be a second father and role model, and regularly asks him for advice. "I've been to more IU games this year than I have in the last four years," Rogers said. "I talk to Bill about once a week. He'll call and ask what I thought about [his kicking technique]. I don't say much, because he's getting good instructions down at school, and the coaches know what they're doing." Teammate and friend, sophomore Chris Dittoe, said Manolopoulos' efforts were noticeable on the field. "Bill works hard. He's a good kicker. At the beginning of the season, he knew he had a huge job, being in the shadow of [graduated] Scott Bonnell," Dittoe said. Manolopoulos described himself as very superstitious. Aside from considering Dittoe to be a good friend and teammate, Manolopoulos also included Dittoe in one of his pregame rituals. "Before the games, I always like to sit on the fourth window seat on the left side of the bus with Dittoe," Manolopoulos said. "I also usually go to the bathroom about 10 times before each game. I always polish my shoes and I always pray before a game. I always wear the same underwear and the same socks. If I have my game socks on, I feel much better." All of Manolopoulos' superstitions, couldn't keep him from getting hurt. Teammate junior Erik Matthews cel-
ebrated the win over Iowa with Manolopoulos. "He high-fived me and I didn't think it was going to be so hard ... and it caught me off guard," said Manolopoulos about his shoulder separation. Luckily, Manolopoulos went into the training room and the doctors were able to pop out his shoulder. Both Dittoe and Rogers would like to see Manolopoulos play in the National Football League. "He's a hard enough worker and he has the leg for it," Dittoe said. "If he wants to be there, he'll be there." In hearing friends talk of his future in the NFL, Manolopoulos suddenly becomes uneasy and flashes a modest smile. "I don't like to mention to people I first meet that I play football," Manolopoulos said. "One ofmy pet peeves is when people say, 'He's the kicker of the football team.' I don't like that. I'm not a cocky person at all. Maybe I'm cocky on the football field, but it's because I have to be. When I'm on campus, I just want to be a student."

For most college soccer programs a 17-3-1 record and earning the NCAA tournament's top seed would make for a satisfying season. But the Hoosier men's soccer team was not most programs. In his 21-year tenure, Coach Jerry Yeagley has won over 300 games and captured three national championships — 1982, 1983 and 1988. With Yeagley returning a group of juniors who reached the Final Eight in 1992 and the Final Four
in 1991, another banner was in reach. The title aspirations came to a stunning halt on a windy November day at Bill Armstrong Stadium when the University of Wisconsin upset the Hoosiers 1-0 in the second round of the NCAA tournament — the same Badger team they had manhandled 5-1 just a month earlier. With such high expectations, the loss was a tough one to accept for Yeagley. "This was one of the few teams I've

had that I really thought was special and had a very good chance of making it all the way," Yeagley said. "It was quite a shock." While Yeagley may have been disappointed later in the season, the earlier months did provide some memorable moments. After losing their second match of the season against Rutgers in the Adidas-Metropolitan Life Classic, the Hoosiers dominated one of the nation's toughest sched-
ules. In I a streak that began with a 2-0 victory over North Carolina State, and ended with a 3-0 blanking of College of Charleston Cougars, the Hoosiers went 16-0-1. The lone blemish came when the Hoosiers tied South Carolina 1-1 on a controversial call. During their unbeaten streak, IU outscored their opponents 59-10 and posted eight shutouts.

many highlights. On Sept. 17, the Hoosier defense held the Akron Zips to one shot on goal and shut them out, 4-0. Junior Brian Maisonneuve registered a pair of goals.

The following week, in front of the largest crowd of the season at Bill Armstrong Stadium, IU dismantled UWMilwaukee, 6-0. The highlight of the game came in the closing minutes when redshirt freshman Scott Merrit scored the first two goals of his career. The Hoosiers then traveled to Madison, Wisc., and left with a 5-1 victory. Weiss netted two goals. The Hoosiers closed out their regular season at home against Ohio State with a
seemingly easy 7-0 victory. Seven different players, including seniors Chris Casaburo, Brian Crockford and Joel Shanker, scored goals in the game. Riding a 16-1-1 record into the Big Ten Tournament, the Hoosiers seemed prepared for big things. But without star junior midfielder Todd Yeagley, who was suspended one game for too many yellow cards, the team faltered in the opening round of the tournament against Penn State, losing, 1-0. Similar to Wisconsin, the Hoosiers had easily defeated Penn State, 4-1, earlier in the season. The NCAA tournament had a promising start, as IU defeated Memphis State, 6-0.

"We've had some disappointing seasons in the past, but these guys were just devastated." Although they were unable to capture the NCAA title they intensely sought, Yeagley still praised the Hoosiers.

HEADING IN
THE RIGHT DIRECTION, WOMEN'S TEAM POSTS 12-6 RECORD FOR FIRST VARSITY SEASON
They are not just a club anymore. With a predominantly freshman squad, and the team's first season with varsity status, the women's soccer team began gaining respect by finishing the season with a winning record of 12-6. The University officially recognized women's soccer as the 19th varsity sport in June 1992, and appointed Joe Kelley as head coach. Kelley had spent 15 years as the assistant coach of men's soccer and had coached the women's soccer club. As the coach of a newly formed team, Kelley had one major problem to overcome: recruiting players for the new team. How do you recruit for a team with no reputation? Easy, if you are Coach Kelley — you go home. He searched around the St. Louis area and found six players. Senior Jill Thurman, junior Brooke Breer and four freshmen: Wendy Dillinger, Angie Doss, Amy Friederich and Quincy Wolkowitz. "Things looked great for starting a program here," Thurman said. But despite a winning season, the team believed they were not respected. Skeptics did not believe the team played enough high caliber teams to earn the reputation of a tough team. A fact proven wrong
when the Hoosiers defeated seventhranked Michigan State and University of Wisconsin-Green Bay who received ranking votes in the Oct. 18 poll. They also played other well-known opponents such as Notre Dame, Butler, Xavier and University of Kentucky. "I don't think it's fair to say we play weak teams," Kelley said. "We did not get the respect that maybe we deserved." The 28-member team was driven to win throughout the season. As a team they worked toward a common goal, making the first season a winning one. In the last game of the season against UW-Green Bay, a last second goal ended the Hoosiers' 848-minute, eight-game-long shutout streak, proving that the team definitely deserved a ranking and respect. With excellent goalkeeping by freshman Monica Cox, and a high scoring percentage from Dillinger, they were a tough team to beat. Cox had 60 saves on the season, saving many games against teams like LTW-Greenbay and Detroit. "Monica was unbelievable! She made some saves that no other goalie in the country could have made," Kelley said. Dillinger also performed well many continued

While losing only one player to graduation and gaining an entirely new coaching staff, the Lady Hoosiers volleyball team looked to make a move upward. The experienced players along with a more positive coaching staff proved to be a plus. With a 7-13 conference and an 11-18 overall record, the team finished with a tie for seventh place in the Big Ten. "We're moving in the right direction and learning to win. In the past, wins were hard to come by. Now a foundation has been laid and a winning attitude has been restored," first-year Coach Katie Weismiller said. This was apparent in the spikers' first matches, as they were 4-5 going into the Big Ten season. After only two conference matches against Northwestern and Wisconsin, the team tied the total number of wins from last season with six. Earning recognition for the team's success was senior Marcia Drummond, who was named Big Ten Player of the Week Robb Hill for her 35 kills OUTSIDE hitter senior Marcia during both of the contests. Drummond had 100 digs during the Drummond and the Hoosiers helped season. The Hoosiers lost to Ohio keep the winning attitude alive during the State 10-15, 5-15, 10-15. battle with rival Purdue for the much coveted Monon Spike.

With three-straight, morale-boosting victories in the Big Ten, the Hoosiers set out on a three-match road trip against conference powerhouses Illinois, Ohio State and Penn State. Unfortunately, the Lady Hoosiers came home empty-handed and with a blemished record of 3-3. The Hoosiers followed with two victories at home against the Wolverines from Michigan and the Michigan State Spartans before sliding into a nine-game losing streak. Five of the nine games were on the road, which was rough for the team. "We needed to continue playing aggressively and work on our ball control to win on the road," senior outside hitter Jill Kerkhoff said. Looking to break the losing streak and end the season on a good note, the Hoosier squad won two of its last three matches. The team defeated Iowa at home before heading into the last two matches of the season on the road. First came a loss to the University of Wisconsin in three close games. Then to finish out the season, the Lady Hoosiers pulled off their first road victory of the season in a tough five-game match against Northwestern. With the two wins at the end of the season, the Lady Hoosiers posted a record of 11-18 overall and 7-13 in the Big Ten. Junior Anne Eastman made history when she was the first Hoosier named to the AllBig Ten squad since 1990. For all involved, the season seemed to be a stepping stone for starting a winning volleyball tradition. With a new staff and a new attitude, the season was filled with transitions. With all of the adjustments out of the way, the team can now focus on winning. Kerkhoff said, "This feels like a whole new team. We started off this season with a positive outlook and have been able to capitalize on this winning attitude."

The season was one of trial and tribulation for the cross country teams. The post-Bob Kennedy era was a season of few big names and strengthened team work. To be successful, the men's team needed to remain strong and healthy, and to prove that they were a team. Above all Sam Bell, head coordinator, needed his men's and women's squads injury-free. Statements from the staff in August sought to rectify rumors that the men's team was nothing without Kennedy. Kennedy led the team to two NCAA and four Big Ten titles during his four years. Bell set out to find a complete unit to fill Kennedy's shoes. To succeed, he needed a greater level of consistency from several top runners and needed to have leaders emerge from within the pack. Their first meet, the Hoosier Open, served the purpose of not only locating strengths and weaknesses but brought about a revolution in the team. Sophomore Matt Sparks and junior Rob Price emerged as the sought-after leaders. "Coming into the season, there were no high expectations for us. But as the season progressed we started to surprise a couple of people," said Sparks, who had been redshirted as a freshman after suffering from a stress fracture. Another newcomer to the team, junior Keith Ikard, a transfer from Navy, was also a surprise after ranking in the top five at the Open. Expected leader junior Darrell Hughes became ill prior to the meet. Hughes had been a top runner last season before he fell victim to injuries that plagued
him most of this season. It was essential for the women's team to bounce back from a 1992 season full of injuries and a disappointing eighth place in the Big Ten. The women's coach, Roseann Wilson, was seeking to develop a strong pack out of the young runners. Sophomore Nikki Suever opened her season with a time of 14:31 and a first place in the women's 4K run at the Hoosier Open. Senior Jenny Culbertson came in a close second with 14:42. The Open proved what coaches had long feared about the women's team. Their pack was not tight enough to suppress opponents' wins. In order to complete a successful season, they would have to pull

together as a team by significantly decreasing the time between their second and third runners. A series of catastrophes at the Miami of Ohio meet typified the season for both teams. Sparks lost five to six seconds from his lead after losing his shoe early in the race, Culbertson had an exam and could not attend the meet and sophomore India Ford dropped out of the race. As the season continued, the keyword circling the air above the golf course was stamina. The top four runners for the men, Sparks, Price, Hughes and Ikard, were running a seven-second pack at Miami of Ohio and momentum continued to build well into the season.
Suever finished second for the women at the Invitational. The team as a whole was losing badly, and needed confidence after finishing a disappointing fourth. As the spread of the pack grew larger, morale and intensity dropped. The season saw the men hold a tight pack with new, younger runners assuming the lead. Plus the team managed to stay healthy and avoid any serious injuries. The women, though lacking individual consistency, have bright hopes for the future with leaders such as Suever. "We have a lot of returning people. There's a lot to look forward to for next year. We're young and have to be optimistic," Suever said. •

It was Damon Bailey's last year, but in the end, nothing seemed to go his way. In high school, he and senior Todd Leary attained one of the highest Indiana athletic honors by both winning state basketball championships. But even as one of the state's most unforgettable players, Bailey still couldn't seem to pull together an NCAA title in the four years that he gave to Indiana basketball. Plagued with injuries throughout the season, the men's basketball team struggled to maintain consistency. Many team members donned some type of protective gear to stabilize injuries. Evans wore a shoulder harness for his separated shoulder. Leary and Bailey wore knee wraps during the season and sophomore Todd Lindemann wore his customary elbow pad. Bailey was also hindered by leg cramping and stomach pains. Henderson also missed playing
time because of a sore knee. During the NCAA tournament, senior Pat Graham suffered another ankle injury, and freshman Sherron Wilkerson was carried off the court after breaking his left tibia. While the injuries did not affect their home games, where the team remained undefeated, the road games dampened their hopes of winning the Big Ten title. The Indiana ball club finished the season 21-9 overall and 12-6 in the Big Ten. Although the onslaught of injuries did not come until later in the season, other controversies arose. In the preseason game against Athletes in Action Nov. 21, officials booted Coach Bob Knight within the first 15 minutes of the game after he argued what he believed to be a missed call. But even without Knight, the Hoosiers easily beat the Athletes, 104-86. Inconsistency was a problem right

from the start. In the first game of the season the Hoosiers committed 17 turnovers, losing to Butler Nov. 27, 71-75. They came back the following game against Kentucky in the Bank One Classic Dec. 4, committing 24 turnovers but grabbing 57 rebounds that enabled them to dethrone the No. 1 Wildcats, 96-84. Despite his stomach cramps, which started during the Kentucky game, Bailey's efforts helped to bring the Hoosiers the win, grabbing the season's record by completing 16 free throws and earning the career three-pointer record with 166 in four years. He also led the Hoosiers in scoring, with 29 points, six rebounds and five assists. "I really felt ... this is the best I've ever seen Bailey play," Coach Knight said about Bailey. "That's the kind of approach that can make him an awfully good player." But Bailey's personal accolades did not stop there. Three days after the vic-
tory, he graced the Dec. 13 cover of Sports
Illustrated.
There were other issues that engulfed the team. While the team worked on its streak of inconsistencies, Coach Knight worked on a streak of his own. The next controversial incident happened during their Dec. 10 stomping ofTennessee Tech, 117-73, in the Indiana Classic. Junior Pat Knight threw a bad pass, causing another turnover and another time out to be called. Coach Knight promptly kicked toward his son and the chair he was sitting on. The General was later suspended one game for his actions. Footage seen on newscasts around the country was at an angle where it appeared that Knight kicked his son. But later in the season the NBC news show, "NOW," with Katie Couric and Bob Costas, showed his foot making contact with the chair. Interviews with both

Knights had them responding that Coach Knight intended to kick the chair. After the home Penn State game Jan. 8, when the team committed 16 turnovers, Bailey commented on their persistent turnover trouble. "The turnovers have been a problem for us all year," he said. "We've been shooting the ball pretty well, but turnovers are something we're going to have to correct ... ." Despite the turnover problems, Graham remained hot from the line, making 11 of 12 free throws and 100 of 112 for the season. It was well publicized that the Hoosiers made more free throws than their opponents shot. After the game, Graham said, " ... You just got to read things and try to take the ball to the hole and get fouled. That's what happened and that's just how we get to the line." Coach Knight's streak continued when Ohio State came to Bloomington, Feb. 2. Knight was again ejected for disputing a noncall after Leary was knocked down early in the second half. After the game, with a straight face, Knight said, "I thought the Indiana coaching got a lot better, and I thought the officiating must have been better also. But certainly the coaching in the last 16 minutes was a lot better than it was in the first 24, and since I missed a little bit of that, I'm going to let Danny explain that to you." With that he walked out of the press room, leaving assistant coach Dan Dakich to talk about the game. And a game it was. Going into overtime, the Hoosiers were able to hold the continued

33 points from Bailey gave the team a lastsecond victory. The team fell behind early 13-3, but Henderson picked up the intensity and slammed a few home. A few steals by the Hoosiers had the lead zigzagging back and forth before halftime. A last-second bomb from the defensive end by Knight rattled the rim but fell out, failing to tie the game at 47. The Hawkeyes left for halftime with a 47-44 lead.
Henderson led both teams with 14 points in the first half. He also led both teams in fouls and had to sit out the majority of the second half. After halftime, the Hoosiers came out firing. Leary hit a three-pointer to start the second half, and at the 10:47 mark, Evans and Bailey launched five three-pointers between them, with Bailey adding a steal and a layup. "We like to start each five minutes of each half strong," Bailey said
after the Jan. 8 Penn State game. "We feel if we can come out and control the game the first five minutes of the first half, that's going to set a tone for the game." With an 81-73 lead, the Hoosiers' momentum slipped away. A few turnovers and some missed free throws pulled the Hawkeyes back into the game. Midway through the second half, Evans reseparated his shoulder. To the continued

dismay of those fans sitting near him, they watched as he popped it back in himself. Evans left the game with 17 points, including four three pointers and a somewhat intact shoulder. "It's something I try to block out, but it's there and I might think about it from time to time and just kind of move it around to see if it feels alright ... Evans said after the game. "I've been told by our doctor to try not to go up with my right hand to rebound. I'm kind of conscious of that, trying to keep my right arm down like when I'm trying to rebound. Other than that it doesn't bother me." Henderson reappeared into the lineup and replaced Evans, who walked off the floor as thousands of fans rose to their feet
to applaud his determination. Even Iowa Coach Tom Davis was appreciative of Evans' efforts after the game. "He just keeps coming at you," he said. With a Hawkeye jumper and 1:55 left in the game, Iowa took a one-point lead. It seemed as though the Hawkeyes might just be the team to ruin the Hoosiers' home winning streak. A bruised-and-battered Hoosier team appeared to be backed against the wall. Lindeman had a layup, once again giving the Hoosiers a tenuous one-point lead. But Iowa regained possession of the ball with 32.9 seconds left. The Hawkeyes launched a shot, missing. Just when everyone thought the game was over, freshman Steve Hart kept the ball from going out of bounds and threw it straight to the Iowa offense. A Hawkeye player attempted another shot but

I U's defense allowed Spartan Shawn Respert to score 40 points and the Hoosiers left with another loss, 94-78.

Despite the Hoosiers' losses on the road, they ended the regular home season
on a positive note, continuing their streak to 44 games. "We think about it and we're very proud of it," Bailey said about the Hoosier home-winning record. "Playing at Indiana, you know you're going to get everybody's best shot and that's something we've got to realize as a team." Although good teams and good coaching are what got the home-winning record started in the first place, the athletes aren't too proud to let the fans know the real reason their home record was so good. Bailey said, "Right or wrong ... it's hard not [to play off the crowd] when the crowd is in the game and the crowd is really behind you. It gives you a little extra incentive to go out there and just bust your tail."

"He just shot the lights out." In the next round, it was IU's barrage of three-point shooters who took care of the lights. Competing against Temple and

Coach Bob Knight said he was simply doing his job. "I've coached this game for 45-50 years. I ought to be able to figure something out," he said about the Ohio
game. "Their defense is set up to make it really difficult to get the ball around the bucket. We didn't think we were going to take the ball inside, and consequently, from the first moment, we talked about shooting the three-point shot." The strategy worked, and IU was on its way to Miami to face Boston College in the East Regional Semifinals. The Final

"The thing that sticks out in my mind the most," Bailey said, reflecting on his career, "is just the experience at Indiana. Not any specific game or when we went to the Final Four. I've got a lot of memories. That's something that you try to get out of life. Here at Indiana, you learn more about life, not just basketball."

TEAM EARNS
SECOND NCAA TOURNEY BID IN SCHOOL HISTORY 202 SPORTS
BY HEATHER CASTLE
It was a history-making season. Going in, no one expected much from the IU women's basketball team. But they surprised the critics by receiving a bid to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1983. It was only the second time in school history. By placing fourth in the Big Ten with a 10-8 record, 19-9 overall, the Lady Hoosiers advanced to their second post-season tourney under Coach Jim Izard. From the first day of preseason conditioning to the last game of the season, the Hoosiers focused on achieving a goal: to have the best regular season record since the 1979-80
season — and they did it. After two exhibition games for the Hoosiers, the first game of the season was at Wright State, which IU won, 86-65. Next came the Sixth Annual Full-O-Pep/ Pointe Classic, against Morehead State in the opening game. With a fifth title in mind, the Lady Hoopsters defeated Morehead State, 90-64, and went on to face Western Michigan in the championship game. From the beginning, the title belonged to the Hoosiers, which they easily won, 95-68. Three Indiana players were named to the All-Tourney team: redshirt-freshman Bridget Porter, sophomore Lisa Furlin and senior Shirley Bryant, who was also named Most Valuable Player. A three-game road trip was next for Indiana. The Hoosiers returned home after three victories over Kentucky, Ball

State and Tennessee-Martin. After a victory at home over Eastern Illinois, the Lady Hoopsters had earned a perfect 7-0 record. But during the first practice after winter break, junior center Jen Dittfach was diagnosed with a stress fracture in her right foot and was out for the remainder of the season. For the first time, Indiana hosted its own holiday tournament—the Lady Hoosier Classic. Yale was the first opponent and win for IU. In the championship game, the Hoosiers faced Eastern Kentucky for the first-ever Lady Hoosier Classic title. The Hoosiers won, 81-64. Once again, IU placed three players, Bryant and seniors Kris McGrade and Kim Hooper, on the All-Tourney squad. Hooper was also named the tournament's Most Valuable Player. "Winning 20 games would
get us some postseason play," Izard said. "But the Big Ten is a tough conference, and we need to go 8-1 in the pre-Big Ten." The lady Hoosiers did better than that, going undefeated, 9-0, heading into the Big Ten season. Opening at home, IU faced the University of Michigan. After the Hoosiers gave Michigan its only Big Ten win last season, they went into the game with revenge in mind. With a victory of 10158, they sent a message to the rest of the Big Ten: Don't count on Indiana to finish 10th. After two disappointing losses on the road to No. 3 Penn State, 94-66, and No. 17 Ohio State, 92-65, IU had a chance to keep No. 2 Iowa out of the No. 1 spot in the AP polls. "We knew coming into the game that continued

Believe and Achieve there would have to be a great defensive effort on our part," Coach Izard said after the game. "To win the game we had to pick up our defensive intensity. We felt like we had to get 20 to 30 points from three-point range and we got 24. We also felt that we had to outrebound Iowa, and we did by one." For the first time in six tries, the Crimson and Cream came out on top, defeating Iowa by 24 points. Corning off a big win, the Hoosiers lost to Minnesota. IU returned to the road to play two Illinois schools. A strong second half by the Hoosiers earned them a victory over University of Illinois. Battling No.19 Northwestern, Indiana lost the battle of the boards by 22, but not the game, winning 84-76. This was the first two-win
road trip weekend the Hoosiers put together in several years. Two of the next three home games found the Hoosiers against ranked teams, but no one told the Lady Hoopsters. Before the second highest attendance for a Hoosier women's game at 2,118, IU lost a tough one to No. 12 Purdue. After a pay-back victory over Ohio State, 77-67, IU needed the confidence to unseed No. 1 Penn State. Despite a late comeback by the Lady Hoopsters, Penn State won a heartbreaker, 70-65. With a 5-5 Big Ten record, Indiana headed to Minnesota and from there to Iowa. Minnesota swept the series with the Hoosiers by winning, 93-74. That did not stop IU on the way to sweeping No. 11 Iowa, 63-59; IU was the first team to beat Iowa at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in two years. During a victory over Illinois at

With three straight victories and an 8-6 Big Ten record, 17-6 overall, the Hoosiers headed north for the first Purdue-Indiana Barn Burner. The trophy was awarded to Purdue after the defeat over the Hoosiers, 83-58. Still with thoughts of the NCAA tournament, IU faced Wisconsin in the last home game for seniors Heather Farrell, Hooper and McGrade. Ironically, Porter made a short jumper at the buzzer to seal the win for the Hoosiers, 66-64, keeping their tourney hopes alive. Closing out the season on the road to the state of Michigan, IU looked for a 20-game season with an 18-7 record before the trip. Struggling through a game at Michigan, the Hoosiers continued

For only the second time in school history, the Lady Hoosiers were invited to the NCAA tournament. Placed in a No. 12 seed, IU met No. 5-seeded Mississippi.

season predictions didn't mean anything. McGrade left IU as the all-time Big Ten leader in three-point shots made. Bryant received honorable mention to the All-Big Ten team from the conference and was placed on the second team by SportsChannel. The team lost three seniors, but the experience the underclassmen earned should help the Hoosiers next season. "We have much more experience going into this season," Izard said. "Our team is relatively young, but they have that experience, they have all played and it could turn into a big plus for us. I would like to have eight or nine players in our rotation, and I hope that we can find the combination suitable for that."

Disappointing Time BY KIMBERLY MILLER
MEN'S SWIMMING AND DIVING TEAM FINISHES SIXTH IN THE BIG TEN WITH BIG TEN RECORD OF 2-3
The men's swimming and diving team had many disappointments during the season. Over the summer, the team lost one of its best swimmers, Peter Johnston, who was killed in an automobile accident. In remembrance of him, the team wore black swim caps and renamed the Most Improved Swimmer Award after him. The team also had a disappointing sixth-place finish in the Big Ten Championships and after the Big Ten's, the men's swimming and diving team felt that improvement was necessary in the future. With an overall record of 4-4 and a Big Ten record of 2-3, members of the team were disappointed by the season as a whole, although some good points could be found in the season. "As far as the dual meets went, I am happy. But in the big meets that counted, we didn't pull through," sophomore diver Andy Boersma said. Despite a dissatisfying season, four swimmers, freshman Greg Ruminski, sophomore Sam Gasowski, junior Manning Field and senior T.R. Raese, combined to break the school record in the 200-yard medley relay in a time of 1:29.68. "The first time we broke it we were at
Minnesota," Ruminski said. "We broke it several more times throughout the season and we were really happy. In the end, all we were concerned about was making it to the NCAA, which we failed to do." Divers Boersma, junior James Soare and senior co-captains Jeff Warrick and Jason Baumann led the Hoosiers throughout the season with their strong performances. Both Boersma and Baumann qualified for the NCAA Championship meet. Boersma finished 14th in the 3meter and 20th in the 1-meter. Baumann finished 24th in the 3-meter and 10th in the 1-meter. The team's 29th place finish in the NCAA Championships was also helped by strong performances from junior swimmers Brian Barnes and Field. With a team made up of primarily underclassmen, the team put the past season behind it and looked ahead. "We have a strong group of underclassmen who will be here next year. Hopefully we will get several recruits to add to the already strong team," Ruminski said. "The upcoming recruiting classes are the key to making Indiana a powerhouse in the Big Ten," Barnes said.

Swimmers' goggles fell off, the team was dominated by underclassmen and repeated its eighth-place finish in the Big Ten. All factors contributed to what was a disappointing season for the women's swimming and diving team. Inexperience did not seem to be a problem for the rookies on the women's swimming and diving team. They had a very successful freshman class with four out of seven freshmen, Ann Barish, Tracy Cook, Charnele Kennedy and Amy Troesch, combining to set a record in the 800-yard freestyle relay. Their winning time of 7:30.93 at the Big Ten Championships in Indianapolis broke the previous record from 1982. Troesch said the relay team hoped to break the record again next year. "I think since we're all freshmen, we will be able to break it again. We all know what we need to do to improve," Troesch said. One thing the relay team has looked to improve is keeping on its goggles. During the race in which the record was set, Barrish's goggles fell off breaking her concentration. "Next year we hope her goggles won't fall off," Troesch said. Only one Hoosier, senior All-American diver Kristen Kane, qualified for the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships in Indianapolis. Kane, who was the champion at the Big Ten meet in the 3-meter competition, gained an automatic
berth to the championships where she finished second on the 3-meter and sixth on the 1-meter. "I was really happy [with my season]. I dove consistently all year long," Kane said, who also received Diver of the Year in the Big Ten and All-Conference honors for the fourth straight year. Although they finished the season with a Big Ten record of 1-5, an overall record of 3-7 and eighth place in the Big Ten, two of the team members were able to turn in strong performances in postseason competition. Kane, along with sophomore diver Jenny Dixon, qualified for indoor nationals held in Minnesota. The indoor nationals are open to any swimmer or diver and are not limited to college athletes. Despite the losing record, Coach Nancy Nitardy was quite pleased with the team. "We have a very young team, and I am very pleased with them. We placed eighth in the Big Ten last year and we stayed there this year," Nitardy said. In the future, Nitardy hoped to build the tradition ofwomen's swimming. With the strong group of underclassmen, new recruits and the new pool being built, the team is hoping for more success in the future. "It [future success] depends on getting recruits. The new [indoor] pool being built will help bring people to IU to swim," Kane said. •

MEN'S TENNIS TEAM PLAGUED BY INJURIES, ILLNESS AND NARROW ONEPOINT LOSSES

It was a disappointing season for the IU men's tennis team, full of one-point losses, injuries and illnesses. Their 5-21 record for the season showed areas in which the team could improve, while individuals focused on personal growth. "It's a two-edged sword," Coach Ken Hydinger said. "We had high expectations, we thought it was going to be a good year. But we were disappointed with the team results, while individual results were good." Injuries and academic probation knocked three out of the seven-player lineup. Freshman Mike Filipek was kept from participating in the hosted Penn State and Ohio State matches by what was thought to be bronchitis, but was actually pneumonia, Hydinger said. Also, junior Mark Ableman suffered a serious groin pull and freshman Johan Landsberg was eliminated by a knee injury. As physical problems removed some experienced players from the lineup, younger teammates were placed into the starting positions. Freshmen Alex Lehr and Sava Constantinou replaced the injured Ableman and Filipek in the doubles lineup. In addition to the adversity the team faced, the men competed against one of the nation's toughest — Notre Dame. The April 4 match proved to be a true test for the Hoosiers as they battled in vain against the No. 16 Irish. Although Notre Dame's
speed and experience proved too much for IU in the 2-4 loss, one Hoosier player found victory. Landsberg, who was later named to the Big Ten All-Conference team, beat the nation's No. 26 college player Andy Zurcher, 6-2, 6-3, 6-2 in the No. 1 singles match. Earlier in the spring season, as Georgia (6-1) and Murray State (5-2) shut out IU, March 12 and 17 respectively, junior Erik Barrett remained strong in both matches. At Georgia, Barrett defeated the No. 3 singles opponent, Nirav Patel, in a marathon match. The first set took two hours, after which Patel was forced to retire because of dehydration. Barrett's performance relied on his endurance and left him victorious. At Murray State, he also came up with wins at the No. 2 singles and No. 1 doubles spots. In the singles match, he defeated Murray State's Pontus Hiort, 6-1, 0-6, 6-1. The men's season was filled with personal dilemmas that distracted them from team goals. The Hoosiers were eliminated early in the Big Ten Championships, May 5-8. In the first round, the eighth-seeded Hoosiers beat Purdue, 4-2. But in the second round, Illinois was too much for them, serving them a loss, 3-4. But putting the team losses aside, individual efforts reigned for the men's tennis team. "They kept fighting and they played hard," Hydinger said. "I was pleased with individual efforts." •

Although the tennis season did not finish exactly the way junior Rachel Epstein would have hoped, she had nothing but positive things to say about the Hoosiers' accomplishments. "It was a good year because, maybe not as successful, maybe we didn't win some of the matches we should have, but we came together as a team," said Epstein, who lost in the second round of the NCAA singles tournament, May 18. "I've been on stronger teams in the past, but they haven't been as close as this one was." "We were really able to pull together to win Big Tens. Individually we were all concentrating on winning, but we all also wanted the team to win. It felt like as much of a team as you can have in tennis." Epstein lost to California's Pam Nelson in her second singles match of the NCAA Tournament in Athens, Ga., while Big Ten player of the year Jody Yin lost her first-round match to sixth-seeded Jane Chi of UCLA. At the end of the day, Yin and Epstein, the only Hoosiers to make the national singles and doubles field, lost their firstround doubles match to a pair of Razorbacks and, with the marathon concluded, the Hoosiers' season was finished. But there was no head-hanging about the way it all ended. The Hoosiers had nothing to be ashamed of. The season was anything but a failure. After struggling with early season injuries and disappointing losses to teams it should have defeated, IU swept to a stunning victory at the Big Ten Championships for its eighth straight conference title, and the team came together like no one predicted it would. "Considering all of the injuries, and that we weren't as good as we usually are, we did about as well as we could have done," Coach Lin Loring said. "We're going to end up 11th in the country, and continued

216 SPORTS
of 20-6 after a first round, 4-2, loss to Pepperdine in the NCAA Tournament two weeks earlier. With strong play from Yin, who finished at 35-13 at No. 1 singles, and fellow senior Danielle Paradine, who finished at 28-14 at No. 2 singles, the Hoosiers were able to rebound from a 135 start to claim a successful season. The Hoosiers' sophomore Natasha Joshi juniors Lee-Ann Rostovsky and
Megan Mawicke, sophomore Kim Webster and freshman Lizl Coetsee also contributed to the squad. Much ofthe early season trouble could be attributed Epstein's nagging shoulder injury, who could not play at 100 percent for much of the season. As a result, the usually formidable doubles team she formed with Yin never quite jelled, causing a hole in the Hoosier lineup.
"It probably cost us one or two matches, but overall it didn't have that much effect on the team," Loring said of the injury. "It probably hurt a lot more in doubles because they couldn't practice together as much." With the season over for both Yin and Epstein, the focus was on the future for both of them. Yin was set to take on the next level of competition.
Meanwhile, with both Yin and Paradine departing, Epstein is left to try to guide next year's squad to the heights it attained this season. "That's what we need out of her is that leadership aspect," Loring said. "She'll probably play the No. 1 singles spot, but being a returning senior, we need her leadership to help with all the freshmen we have coming in." •

BY IIATV MITIVT1V —
In only his second year as the wresding Coach, Duane Goldman was building a powerhouse. The team returned everyone from the year before and was able to improve upon its last-place finish last year in the Big Ten. The Hoosiers had a 12-4 overall record and were 4-3 with a fifth place finish in the Big Ten to wrap up their regular season. IU was victorious over Ohio State, Missouri, Purdue, Illinois and Michigan. IU qualified eight out of 10 weight classes for nationals and held a promising 17th ranking nationally. The wrestlers also finished 33rd in the NCAA championships. Senior Vito Maurici, a heavyweight ranked fourth nationally by AmateurWrestling News magazine, led the squad. Maurici went 31-6 with three pins in the regular season. In January, he was also the Big Ten wrestler of the month. Eight members of the team qualified for nationals. After placing in the top six at the Big Ten meet, six Hoosier grapplers went on to the NCAA championships. Two others received wildcard berths after placing seventh in their weight class at the Big Ten meet. The NCAA championships, held in Chapel Hill, N.C., proved that the Hoosiers were becoming with an impressive team. Senior Chris Russo (126 pounds) and junior Scott Petche (150 pounds) earned All-American honors by placing in the top eight of their weight classes. Russo had hopes of bettering the eighth-place finish at nationals. "At the time I was disappointed because I wanted to place higher, but now I am just happy to be an All-American." Nationals proved less memorable for
the remaining Hoosier wrestlers. The team lost five ofseven matches in the first round and fourth-ranked Maurici finished his wrestling career with a disappointing loss in the opening round. "I couldn't control the national tournament. There were some questionable calls we protested, it just didn't work out. I am upset that it was out of my hands. We expect to have the best referees in the national tournament. I worked as hard as I could, it was just really unfortunate that this had to happen to me at the end," Maurici said. But the wrestling team hadn't reached its full potential. They were young and expected to improve under the guidance of Coach Goldman, who has helped to improve the team morale with his competitive attitude. Goldman was a fourtime All-American and national title holder at 190 pounds."He works us hard and the practices are tough," freshman Joe Farr said. "Coach Goldman is a good role model for the wrestlers and coaches. We all look up to him." Goldman will have his work cut out for him in 1995. The Big Ten has been considered to be the toughest conference in the nation. With powerhouse Iowa winning their 21st Big Ten title, not to mention Minnesota and Penn State consistently having strong teams, IU will be challenged once again next season. Not onlywill the conference be tough, but the team also lost three starting seniors, leaving a young team to make a run for next year's Big Ten title. Next season might hold what Goldman has been looking for in terms of the Hoosier wrestling team being a national power, as it was in the 1930s and 1940s. •

Despite hopes of a third-place finish in the Big Ten championships at Ann Arbor May 13-15, the men's golf team returned home with a disappointing 10th place. "I don't think we're doing very well, to be honest," Coach Sam Carmichael said after his team completed the third round in seventh place. "We're not where we should be. We haven't finished any round well at all." Senior Jody Roudebush, who shot a four-round total of 299, was the highest IU finisher. He felt as let down as his coach did by the team's showing. "I'm kind ofdisappointed in the team's performance," he said before the Hoosiers readied themselves for their final round of the year. "I felt like we would have been in a better position than we are, but we're not. We were hoping for fifth place. That was a realistic goal." The Hoosiers kicked off the tournament by shooting a 36-hole total of 597 with rounds of 298 and 299. That mark put them in seventh place, and after one more round that standing had not improved. IU shot 303 in the third round. The Hoosiers hit the links with hopes of j umping into the top five, but instead, a round of 311 gave them a three-day, four-round total of 1,211, dropping them to a dismal 10th place spot. Only Purdue finished below IU. Carmichael said the Hoosiers were just not finishing off their holes well.
"If we could have played the last four or five holes of each round well, we could be up in the top three or four," he said. "Jody's played well, but our other guys just haven't played very well." After Roudebush, the highest IU finisher was freshman Don Padgett, who shot a total of 303 and tied for 33rd. Seniors Derek Clouse, Chip Martin and Mike Kemper finished 40th, 42nd and 54th, respectively. During regular season play the team performed best at local tournaments throughout the season, bet fell short of its goals in regional and national competition. The Hoosiers placed first in the Indiana Invitational, and second in the nearby Hawkeye Invitational, but fell to

The Hoosiers' bout with adversity extended past the season, but their consistency and effort brought positive outlooks for most team members. Recognizing their need for more experience, the Hoosiers reflected on their progress and the possibilities for next year's team. Roudebush, who also earned All-Big Ten honors, said the tournament will provide some inspiration for the younger team members. "Some of the young guys need to keep getting experience," he said. "They need to know what it's like to keep coming here year after year. A lot of them will be doing it for three more years." •

Watch out for that last round. It can be a doozy. The IU women's golf team, which shot a tournament-high round of 333 on the final day of NCAA competition, June 1, learned that fact the hard way. "I was kind of disappointed in the last round. We played really poorly and we didn't have the finish we could have had," Coach Sam Carmichael said. "I'd say we could have finished anywhere from 12th to 14th. That would have been a good, successful tournament." Instead of a storybook ending to an inspired season, the Hoosiers fell to 17th at the national tournament, and the ending left bitter tastes in many of the players' mouths. "I think we could have done a lot better," said sophomore Brandy Ferdinand, who averaged 85.1 strokes on the season. "We didn't play to our potential. Maybe we just didn't get ready to play. "We didn't play that well," sophomore Erika Wicoff said, who averaged 75.6 strokes on the season. "We had a
couple of good rounds, but we didn't play as well as we could have. I know I didn't." After shooting a solid 307 the third day of competition, the Hoosiers shot 333 the day after and finished with a fourday total of 1,271, 82 strokes behind champion Arizona State, which took the NCAA crown for the third straight year. Wicoff led IU with a four-day total of 308, good enough to finish in a tie for 20th. Sophomore Stacy Quilling and freshman Mary Vajgrt finished in a tie for 44th with scores of316, while junior Tara Bakhle finished 95th with a 333 and Ferdinand finished 97th with a 335. After playing in her first NCAA tournament, Vajgrt said all the pressure could have played a role. "For me at first, it was a little overwhelming," she said. "I had never been to a national meet like that before. The best teams in the country were there playing. But coach told us that half the teams there were just as intimidated as we were and that we just had to go out and play." Despite having a week off to rest and prepare for the national meet, the Hoo-

siers were coming off a grueling schedule of high-pressure tournaments as well. Having played in the Big Ten meet and the regional contest two weeks in a row might have exhausted some of the younger golfers on the team. "There was probably just some pressure of being there, and we've had a lot of pressure the past few weeks with a lot of big tournaments," Wicoff said. "It might have caught up with us." Despite the poor finish, the Hoosiers were still optimistic about the year they had. Entering the season, the team was not expected to do much of anything. But the Hoosiers ended up second in the Big Ten and Wicoff claimed the conference individual crown and Big Ten Player of the Year. IU then finished fourth at the NCAA East Regional Wicoff took home medalist honors there as well.

Pack TRACK TEAM SENDS FOUR TO NCAA INDOOR AND OUTDOOR CHAMPIONSHIPS
224 SPORTS
BY RYAN WHIRTY The Ill track teams had to take successes in small amounts. Neither team finished higher than fourth at the Big Ten indoor and outdoor championships, and only two Hoosiers — junior pole vaulter Mark Buse and senior long jumper Regina Frye — won individual conference titles. In addition, only four Hoosiers represented the team at both the NCAA indoor and outdoor championships, and none of them brought home national titles. But while on the surface the season looked like a failure for track, when one looks closer at the Hoosiers' campaign, a lot of small successes will be found. Take, for example, the placement of the women's team at the Big Ten Outdoor Championships in Madison, Wis. After finishing a dismal 10th at the 1993 Big Ten outdoor meet and seventh at the 1994 indoor championships, the Hoosiers jumped into a tie for fourth place at Madison. It wasn't a win, but it was a diamondin-the-rough team performance. "After the indoor season, everyone was like, 'My gosh, this is horrible,"' said women's coach Roseann Wilson. "We weren't used to being down that low, and they worked hard and improved themselves.>, The women were led by Frye, who won her fifth and sixth straight Big Ten long jump titles with wins at both the indoor and outdoor championships. Frye, who was hampered by a bad back all season long, also broke the Big Ten outdoor long jump mark with a leap of 21 feet, 4 3/4 inches at the Indiana Intercollegiates, April 2. Frye said the win at the Big Ten outdoor meet was a good way to end her conference career. "It probably meant more to me than continued

"This was my technique and what you have to do to senior year, and it was my last Big Ten compete." The men's team produced a similar meet. I would have been really disappointed if I hadn't have won.

Among the Pack Another bright spot for the team was senior thrower Gregg Hart, who finished his IU career in style by placing second at the NCAA Outdoor Championships for his second All-American honors. But Hart's college career was a long, winding road as Hart struggled to fulfill the promise that a sparkling prep career set for him. As a high school thrower at Fort Wayne Homestead, he set the Indiana and junior TAC record with a throw of 216 feet, 9 inches, and he was a silver medalist at the Pan American junior meet. Heisler said that prep record and the resulting unrealistic expectations put too much pressure on Hart when the thrower came here. "I know it did," the coach said. "It was people's ignorance to what his expectations were going to be. He'd throw 201 one time at one meet. He'd hit that throw and everyone thought he'd consistently throw 210 next year. No one in the world can do that with consistency. But he didn't know that." Hart struggled with those expecta-
tions, and, by any normal standards, he produced a sterling IU career that includes two Big Ten discus titles, two top three NCAA finishes and the best discus mark in IU history (198 feet, 3 inches). Hart looked back on his college career with satisfaction. "I feel I should have had a better college career at Indiana," Hart said. "I wish I did that, but I had lots of stuff on my mind, like class work and staying in school, during my four years here. I have no regrets." One final positive spot for the team was the rapid improvement ofjunior triple jumper Dylan Barnes, who used a committed work ethic and a drive to success and used it to place second in the triple jump at the Big Ten outdoor meet. Barnes, a high jumper and long jumper at Boonville (Ind.) High School, had a hard time adjusting to his new event on a collegiate level. But this year, Barnes fought off nagging injuries, buckled down and found success. "He's done better now that he's mature enough and focused enough," Bell said.
Much of Barnes' success could be attributed to the arrival of assistant coach James Lott, a five-time NCAA high jump titlist at Texas who won the 1987 long jump at the World Championships in Rome. "Dylan's been doing well, now that he's doing what he's supposed to do in practice," Lott said. "When I first came here he was doing a lot of complaining about what I had him do. But he's not complaining anymore and he's been doing well. I'm happy for him." While Barnes and the rest of the track program might not have found the ultimate successes they would have wished for, the athletes had plenty to feel good about, and plenty to build on for next season. Barnes might have summed up the team's season best by describing his year. "With my injury indoors, and competing only twice during that season, I came out for outdoors and I just kept getting better and better," he said. "It was my best season by far in college. I ended the season on a high note, and it should bring me into next season with confidence." •

SOFTBALL TEAM WINS FIRST BIG TEN CROWN AND QUALIFIES FOR NCAA TOURNAMENT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN EIGHT YEARS, BARELY MISSES WORLD SERIES
230 SPORTS
Despite a season that saw the IU women's softball team capture the Big Ten Conference title and a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Mideast Regional, the Hoosiers ended their season on a disappointing note. The ball club came within one game ofadvancing to the College Softball World Series, but fell by a score of 7-3 to the University of I llinois-Chicago in the Mideast Regional championship game. The Hoosiers led 3-2 going into the sixth inning, moving ahead thanks to a fifth-inning home run by junior catcher Michelle Venturella, Big Ten Player of the Year. With All-Big Ten sophomore Gina Ugo on the mound, the Hoosiers were confident they would hold on for the win. But the Illinois-Chicago team thought otherwise. The Flames lit up the Hoosiers in the sixth, racking up five runs on five hits, and were also aided by two IU throwing errors. Missy Kies led off the inning for UIC with a single to center field. Cleanup hitter Sue North then belted a home run over the left-center field wall to put the Flames up 4-2. The Flames then plated another run on a Kerris Tanksley single, putting the game out of reach at 7-3. But the Hoosiers had no reason to hang their heads. They almost didn't make it that far. Despite being the No. 1 seed and host team, IU was upset in its opening game of the regional, losing to Notre Dame, 3-0, in eight innings. This relegated the Hoosiers to the loser's portion of the double elimination tournament, where theywould have to win two straight games to make it back to the finals. They did just that. IU stormed back from the consolation bracket to make it to the championship game, putting together back-to-back
wins against DePaul and Notre Dame. But for a while, it looked like the Hoosiers wouldn't even get a chance to do that. IU trailed DePaul by two runs going into the seventh inning, and it looked as if the season was over for the softball team. Almost. Trailing 4-2 to DePaul, things looked bleak for IU. They managed only two runs in 13 innings of tournament play, and those runs had come courtesy of an error by DePaul. But the Hoosiers looked like a different team when they stepped up for their final at-bats against the Blue Demons. IU rallied for a 6-4 win, thanks to timely hitting and a crucial error. Sophomore second baseman Misten Mager led off the inning with a walk, and advanced to second base on a wild pitch by DePaul hurler Amber Podlesny. IU then got help from Podlesny, when she dropped an infield pop-up from IU freshman shortstop Aimee Lonigro. Runners were safe at first and second, with the go-ahead run coming to bat in the form of Venturella. But the Blue Devils had pitched around Venturella all day, and they followed suit again, giving her her third walk of the game, this one an intentional pass to load the bases. DePaul then made a pitching change, hoping to shut down the Hoosiers and hold on to the lead. The strategy failed. Senior left fielder Margaret Haenisch stepped up and promptly stroked a double down the left field line. Two runners scored, and after an overthrow to home plate, Venturella came across with the goahead run. First baseman Angie Rapp followed with an RBI single that scored Haenisch and gave IU its final margin of victory, as Ugo retired the Blue Demons in order in the bottom of the seventh on continued

Stopped Short three straight groundouts. The Hoosiers were ecstatic that the season didn't end on a bad note. "A loss in the first game against DePaul would have left a bad taste in our mouth," Coach Diane Stephenson said. "I would have hated to see us go down making seven errors. That's not the way we play." With the first game in the books, the confidence carried over into a rematch with Notre Dame in the second game. "We came out against Notre Dame and all we wanted to do was beat them," Haenisch said. "We wanted to hit the ball and pounce on them, and that's what we did." IU wasted no time, scoring five runs in the second inning to break the game open en route to an 8-0 dusting of the Fighting Irish.

That advanced the Hoosiers to the championship round. The team knew it had to take two games from Illinois-Chicago to win the regional, a test that would not be simple to complete. But the Hoosiers gave it their best shot. They grabbed the first game of the finals, 5-0, as Ugo threw a shutout at the Flames, before falling in the finale. Despite the loss, the Hoosiers were still happy with their season, even though an earlier than expected end was hard to deal with. "We have to focus on the positive, but it's hard to do that when you lose," Stephenson said. "It's just hard when you come so close and can't make that final step." And the positives were numerous. IU won the Big Ten title for the first time in eight years, putting together a 23-5 record in conference play and winning the title
by the largest margin in Big Ten history. The team also put together a 49-16 mark overall, and qualified for the NCAA tournament for the first time in eight years. "We were really excited to win the Big Ten," Stephenson said. "I think our program took a big turn. I think even our kids were surprised at how successful we could be." Team achievements weren't the only highlights, either. The Hoosiers were led by a number of outstanding individuals, most notably Venturella. The IU catcher not only grabbed the Big Ten Player of the Year award by a unanimous vote, but was also named to the All-Academic team. And to top it all off, she was tabbed as a Second Team All-American by the National Softball Coaches Association. Venturella rewrote the record books in accomplishing these achievements.

Mask he tension of competition can wreak havoc with even the most mild-tempered athlete. But IU T softball standout Michelle Venturella has found some helpful traditions to ensure good luck on the field. "I have to put my left shin guard on first," admitted the junior catcher. "I'm not sure why, I just do. And when I make a mistake, I have to undo the strap on my batting glove. I just rip right through it sometimes." There is much more to the Hoosier softball star than the scorebooks indicate. "I'd [describe Venturella] as determined or talented," said sophomore pitcher Gina Ugo. "She's very fun to be with. It's hard not to get along with Michelle." Venturella had a spectacular season, helping her team earn a berth in the NCAA Mideast Regional where they fell just short of a spot at the College World Series, and clinched a spot on the All-Big Ten team. In Big Ten play, Venturella put up conference records in batting average (.493), and RBIs (35), and her eight Big Ten season home runs rank second for a single season in the Big Ten. Her 70 total bases was also a new league record. The 15 home runs she attained was also a new IU mark, as well as her 61 RBIs. She was also named to the Academic All-Big Ten team.
But such success is nothing new for the South Holland, Ill., native. Her Thornton High School softball team took state championships both her junior and senior years. Aside from the broken records and national honors that came through the sport, off the field there was a young woman who enjoyed both her free time and her family. With a sister, 24, a stepbrother, 29, and a stepsister, 34, Venturella said she has gotten overwhelming support from her family. It was her sister who first convinced her to try out for the local fast-pitch league as she entered high school. "My sister and I were pretty much opposites," she said. "She was the cheerleader, and I always teased her about that, but we had a lot in common too. She's always been very supportive of what I've done, and my parents too." Venturella also credits her stepbrother with piquing her interest in the sport with his helpful coaching when she was young. Apart from the superstitions, winning has become a tradition for Venturella. While this might seem an impressive culmination of years of hard work, there was another activity in her life to which she devoted almost as much time.
Venturella has studied piano since age 8 — the same time she began her illustrious softball career — and the lush melodies did more to calm the Big Ten Player of the Year than practicing her slides or perfecting her catching. But playing music was just one of her outlets for recreation. "I also try to go out to Lake Monroe, Lake Lemon and Lake Griffy to get away," she said. Venturella also speaks fondly of her two Schnauzers, Schatzie and Max. In addition to relaxation, other interests have taught Venturella other important lessons as well. "[Outside activities] definitely help," she said. "With anything [else] you know you have to practice."

SEASON-ENDING WIN BITTERSWEET AS TEAM FINISHES 12-16 IN BIG TEN CONFERENCE

The Hoosier's baseball season ended with a win over Minnesota's Golden Gophers in the final game of the four-game series. But celebratory yells and pats on the back were replaced with sullen faces as the reality hit: This "W" was too little too late. The team finished its season 12-16 in the Big Ten and fifth in the conference, but it was not strong enough to fulfill dreams of a trip to the tourney. As preseason practices began, Coach Bob Morgan saw a fire burning in the ranks. Experienced veterans were returning to fill the infield positions and several of the outfield posts. Senior pitcher Bob Scafa was the Hoosiers' ace-in-the-hole.
As a junior, Scafa led the Hoosiers on the mound with a strike-to-walk ratio of 3-to-1. As one of the Big Ten's top pitchers, he was also named to the All-Big Ten first team. In the off-season, he became a celebrated member of the U.S. National Baseball Team, which led to greater confidence on the mound, Morgan said. Behind Scafa was junior Scott Mudd. Primarily a relief pitcher in 1993, Mudd's curve ball made him a key player in the 1994 pitching lineup. Sophomores Brian Greene and Todd Mann looked to be the two pitchers to fill in the four-man rotation. Their injuries midway through the season left younger, less experienced Hoosiers on the mound. Though the bullpen had the depth needed to fill the vacancies injured players left, it lacked experience. Sophomore Kevin Zaleski was redshirted as a freshman, but

appeared in the lineup, along with senior center fielder Marty Gazarek. The defense took advantage of the experience and leadership both around the diamond and in the outfield. Senior Marty Gazarek displayed his strength both in the outfield and at the plate. Allowing only three errors in the last two seasons, Gazarek opened the season leading the Hoosiers in home runs. Sophomore Steve Smella was a pleasant surprise for the Hoosiers. With relatively little experience, Smella had started in only six of the last 13 games in 1993. He came to the team's aid both in the field and at bat, closely following Gazarek with six homers. The infield looked to junior Jason Cotton and senior Scott Sellers for support.

games and is also a strong bunter. Injuries proved to be one of the toughest opponents the Hoosiers faced. Excellent pitching early in the season began to deteriorate as injuries piled up. "Overall, it was a decent year," Morgan said. "We were simply not able to absorb all the injuries." Despite frigid weather and battles with snow, the Hoosiers opened the season on a high note. Strong pitching propelled them through several come-from-behind games, including the Big Four Classic held in Louisville, Ky. The Classic also showed growing team strength at bat. But the constant imbalance between the mound and the offensive end was an overriding weakness throughout the season.

But the momentum broke with two losses against the Wolverines in a rainy four-game series. They went on to struggle through the remainder of the trip, coming home 4-4 in Big Ten action. Even rally caps couldn't save the Hoosiers from talented conference opponents. The same final-inning rallies that carried the team through the first half of the season proved ineffective against nationally ranked opponents. Strong hitting on the offensive end wasn't enough to compensate for the Hoosiers' injury-ridden weaknesses on the mound. Although the Hoosiers hit well in the latter two-thirds of the season, lending aid to the injured pitching crew, the team did not advance to the tourney. "We just were not consistent in all aspects of the game throughout the year," Morgan said.

UNHAPPY after knocking down only one pin, sophomore Stephanie Haines, a member of Kappa Delta sorority, participates in intramural bowling.
All around her, the fans watched as a look of nervous tension crossed her face. It seemed as though she were playing for a gold medal and Olympic glory as she served the winning game point in the first round of the women's off-campus intramural volleyball tournament at the HPER. Junior Christy Pixley could recall the story like it happened yesterday. "We only had four players and they had six. We just played our hearts out," Pixley said. "I just remember diving on the floor and then realizing that no one on our team was left standing," she said, referring to another crucial point in the match. With 34 events and several special programs throughout the year, intramurals catered to diverse interests and offered those involved the opportunity to meet other people and participate in their favorite sports. Special events planned included rollerblading, a swimming meet, track meet, golf driving contest, golf outing and a basketball free throw contest. Students involved in intramurals participated in these special oneday events or in team sports. More than 10,000 students participated in the events, Curt Robb Hill Handel, intramural coordinator, said. Many students who were active in high school sports found intramurals a way to continue in athletics. The most popular of the team sports con-
tinued to be basketball, with 400 teams competing this year. "A guy on our team had three or four guys on him and he hit a last second shot from around the free throw line to give us a one-point win over a bunch of football players," said senior Ted Cappas, who had been involved with intramural basketball since his freshman year. Not all students had the time or talent to participate in a sport on the college level; intramurals offered these students an outlet for continuing in their favorite sport and matching their abilities against opponents. "It's fun to get out and compare [your skills] to other people," said junior Lee Benson, who was an active member of coed football and volleyball and men's softball and basketball. Many students became involved with intramurals through the representatives from the dormitories and Greek organizations who helped publicize the games, but off-campus students also became involved. As Handel pointed out, the excitement of competition was not the only reason students joined intramural activities. "[Intramurals are] a great way to socialize and meet people," he said. "[They are] a great way to get out and become a people person," Benson said. Sophomore Kathy Behling, who became involved after being pressured by her big brother in Alpha Phi Omega, said intramurals allowed her to "get away from studying and be with all my friends." Many students' only physical activity was walking to and from class every day. While some students disliked any physical activity, others lacked the discipline to follow a regular exercise routine.

were intramurals a great source of exercise, but also a healthy break from studies. " [Intramurals are] a great stress reliever," said freshman Kerri Godby, who was a member of Teter's coed volleyball, softball and football teams. But intramurals were not just for athletically talented individuals. No ability was needed to participate in some activities. Behling said she never caught the ball when she played on her football team, but still had a great time. Although the single-sex teams continued to be popular, the coed intramural league also grew in attendance, Handel said. The coed league traditionally had been less competitive, and more social and easygoing than the single-sex teams. "There's nothing written in the rules," Handle said. "Typically co-intramural leagues tend to be more for fun." To cater to students' diverse interests intramurals ranged from darts and euchre to basketball and bowling. These events offered an opportunity for students to be involved throughout the year.

Registration evolves from bubble sheets to
BYTE THE individual terminals, offering students a quicker, more BUBBLE convenient way to schedule for classes fter a decade of coloring in circles, students gladly waved A goodbye to bubble sheets and welcomed individual registration terminals to Franklin Hall. From punch cards to bubble sheets to personal computers, the registration system has seen its share of changes in the past 10 years. The first big change in registration came i n 1983 when it moved from the Fieldhouse with punch cards to Franklin Hall with bubble sheets. During this time, bubble sheets and the technology behind them were considered a major breakthrough. Ten years later, the University experienced another big change when registration entered the age of the personal computer. This year, students registered through individual monitors, which gave them a variety of benefits. This new process came complete with individualized scheduling, an on-line schedule of classes and wait-list options all in one computer terminal. Gone were the days of running back and forth between the class listings and the printout area when a class closed. As Dr. Gerald Pugh, registrar, said, this new system was one that upheld the University's tradition of putting the power of registration in the hands of the students. Pugh said the primary benefit of the system allowed for "easier access to more windows to a single point of

reference for looking at course availability. Therefore, all the information is on one machine in one location." Michael Kleinman, senior assistant registrar and manager of registration and scheduling, said the computer alerted students of scheduling restrictions immediately. It made all times and courses shown on an individual's monitor available to that student because the computer already accounted for the restrictions. Therefore, jogging back and forth between the class listings and confirmation site and receiving several problem reports became problems of the past.
usmg s ing the computer was U frantic at first but very easy to get used to. 99 Senior Dion Snider Most students welcomed the changes the computerized scheduling system brought with it. Senior Dion Snider, who transferred from a private college in Missouri, favored the new system. At his previous school, a student's major determined his schedule, leaving little course or time variety available. "Using the computer was frantic at first but very easy to get used to," Snider said. "A student knows his options a lot

quicker. Advantages of the system are the wait-lists and the ease with which students can change their schedule." The use of bubble sheets was not a system exclusive to the University. Junior Daniel Basta, who transferred from New York University at Albany, said his previous school also used bubble sheets for registration. Having used both systems, he preferred the computer registration. "The computer is easier to register on because it is less time-consuming. There is no waiting in long lines. The system is not difficult to figure out, and there are always people around to help," Basta said. After filling in bubble sheets to register for seven semesters of classes, senior Kristin Seeds felt the change was past due. "If a class is closed, you do not have to wait for a confirmation. You can do all your registering at once. It was easy to use the computer, and the instructions given were helpful," Seeds said. Most students agreed the individual computerized system of scheduling was a positive change. More convenient scheduling helped cut down on stress, which every student found beneficial. But for those few students who favored the bubble sheets or feared the computers, a simple request allowed them to use the bubble sheets to register. The majority, however, were happy to see the bubble sheets replaced. 1_J

The honesty of sexuality class may shock some, but

ABOUT SEX out in her discussion of the birds and the bees
uring an episode of the everpopular Beavis and Butthead D cartoon, the school principal punishes the two pubescents by not allowing them to laugh in class. Beavis and Butthead find this feat quite difficult, especially when they find themselves in sex education class. When the sex education teacher suddenly announces, 'Today we're going to talk about the PENIS!" Beavis and Butthead have to stifle their laughter. Their response is typical of most students — chuckles, under-the-breath comments and slight embarrassment. All three reactions stem from the students' curiosity and society's reaction to sex. Human Sexuality, HPER F255, draws on curiosity and society's views. Human Sexuality was featured by a local television station as one of the University's more popular classes. Approximately 400 students take the class each semester with many more wanting to get in, as exemplified by the long waiting list for the class. Health Education Professor William Yarber, who has taught the class for 10 years, said one reason for the class' popularity

is the students' natural curiosity. "At this stage of life, sexuality is important to students. Since many didn't receive an adequate sex education at home or school, this is an opportunity to learn." Sophomore Kristi Young said, "Human Sexuality provided a situation

Professor William Yarber to be exposed to a variety of sexuality viewpoints." For this reason, Young remembered the lecture featuring the Gay/Lesbian Speaker's Bureau as exceptionally memorable. Yarber said his "honest, direct and
open" approach made the class popular among students. "I assume the students are mature. I tell what science knows, and science isn't embarrassed ... No one gets embarrassed listening to a lecture about the digestive process. Sexuality should be no different — both are natural bodily functions." Freshman Alicia Selzer found the honesty vital to the class. "It's a plus. The frankness takes away any fears of talking about the subjects." One of Yarber's objectives was to remove any fears or myths students had about sexuality. He believed sexuality should not be a "troublesome" topic. American society has made sex a taboo subject, and many people cannot relate to their sexuality for this reason. Yarber designed the class to help students see their sexuality as a contribution to part of their overall well-being. The discussion groups, which met after every lecture, encouraged students to overcome their shyness. These groups provided a more intimate setting for students to talk about class topics on a "more personal level," freshman Anissa Nava said. According to the class
A
I
Ft_ E
syllabus, the discussion groups were helpful "in exploring and accepting divergent views." To many, the discussion groups were the most important part of the class. Responsibility was another important aspect of the class. Contrary to how the class may appear, it did not promote students to lead promiscuous sexual lives. Yarber stressed that students need "to develop an intelligent and responsible sexual lifestyle." The course topics showed that responsibility played an important part in every subject covered, including contraception, sexual attitudes, behaviors and ethics. Yarber also required students to take
a field trip. But this was no ordinary field trip. The students experienced something one would not normally do — see a strip show, visit a nudist colony or go to an adult bookstore. Yarber laughed as he said, "The field trip gives the students an excuse to do something that they may have always wanted to do." But according to the syllabus, the true purpose of the assignment is "to provide you [the students] with new insights into ways sexuality is expressed in our society." A quote Yarber often used in class illustrated the motto, as well as the necessity, of the class — "Sex is perfectly natural, but rarely naturally perfect." •

misconduct, according to the IU Code of Student Ethics. The Office of Student Ethics reported 69 violations of academic dishonesty in the 1992-93 school year. Professors reported 42 of the violations as "cheating" and 27 of them as plagiarism. Of these 69 cases, the University dismissed one student. Professors gave 19 F's as a final grade, and 29 F's on the project or test on which the student cheated. Other reprimands included giving incompletes, lowering the final grades and students rewriting papers. But these statistics may only be a small A I Pt_

percentage of what was really going on in the classroom. "I know for a fact that more goes on, but many don't report it," Pamela Freeman, assistant dean of students, said. She said not all professors report the violation and some professors do not know what to do when they find a student cheating. Instructors also might handle the situation themselves. Instructors feel reporting the violation to the Office of Student Ethics is tedious, especially if a student decides to appeal the violation, Freeman said. Because of the strict rules to prevent

cheating, two students went beyond the conventional cheating methods and found a way to use radio headphones. One student stood outside a class in Woodburn Hall while a friend sat inside pretending to take the test with earpiece in place. The accomplice stood outside and waited for the professor to post the answers to the test outside. The student then radioed in the answers to the friend sitting inside the room. The teacher caught onto the scheme and gave the students F's on their tests. Aside from harming a student's academic record, cheating can also affect the student/teacher relationship. Heather Ashburn, second year medical student, caught a student while proctoring an exam. The student insisted on keeping a notebook on the desk. The Assistant Instructor in charge agreed, and the test began. Ashburn noticed the student looking under the test at the notebook and consulted with the AI. "I sort of left the room for a while to see if she was really cheating when I came back. I didn't want to believe it. If I had not known her, it would have been a yes or no answer," Ashburn said.

The student had called me at home and begged me to get leniency from the professor," Ashburn said. Students said cheating in college was difficult compared to high school. "I
used to cheat in high school, but now I want to understand," one student said. Professors checked identification, and proctors scanned large classrooms. Some instructors gave students different versions of the test to prevent wandering eyes. But even this did not stop students from looking at another student's test. One student's major required an economics course. After studying with other members of the class and getting additional help from the teacher, the student still received poor grades. Members of the student's study group, who were receiving A's, began to feel sorry for the student. One member offered to let the student cheat. "It was easy. The teacher never even paid attention. A student from my group would work out the problems, bubble them in and then show me his paper," the student said. Whether cheating entails using radio headphones or looking at a neighbor's test, some students might stoop to such levels to survive the mind-boggling, time-consuming classes that they chose to take. And others will follow the frustrating, but honest route and study or write their own papers. •

She tried to go back to sleep, but she worried about the day ahead. She had a huge paper due tomorrow, but her boyfriend complained she wasn't spending enough time with him. Her roommates were on her nerves, and she thought she might not have enough money to get through the semester. Sum all of this up and you have the average stressed-out college student. Peckham felt stress from the time she woke up in the morning until the time she went to bed. She was an accounting major who also balanced being an undergraduate teaching assistant and an active member of her accounting club, Beta Alpha Psi. When looking back on her college career, Peckham said she was stressed 50 percent of the time. "There is not enough time in the day to do all the work," Peckham said. "I feel I need to do better than the average person, and this is the cause of my stress." Peckham made many lists to keep track of everything she needed to get done and to plan every minute of her day. She believed this stress was healthy, and it was what motivated her. Besides being a busy college student, Peckham, like all seniors, also felt the pressure of finding a job. The interviews and job search were an added stress to Peckham's life. "Besides trying to keep my g.p.a. stable and deal with the average work load, I also had to prepare 13
for interviews," she said. Many other seniors also felt the same pressure and felt more stressed in their senior year than in any other. "I've never felt more stressed in my life than feeling that pressure of trying to find a job for next year. It's just always hanging over my head," senior Dave Bush said. Not all students felt as much pressure as Peckham or Bush, but still stressed before major tests or papers. "I don't really realize I'm stressed

"Usually it's because I freak out and wonder if I'll have enough time to get everything done." Because students experienced stress at different levels, students handled it in their own way. Students agreed that finding some sort of escape was helpful. Some students felt that going to the bars or to off-campus parties took off some pressure while others felt leaving Bloomington relieved the strain. A I 12.

"When I was really stressed, I felt like I had to get away from the whole campus, so I took off and headed to Indy where my girlfriend lives," senior Jay Hoy said. Stress caused many different physical and emotional problems that led to other difficulties. Peckham found it hard to concentrate and to put her workload in perspective when studying. "When I'm stressed, I can't breathe, my stomach is on fire, and I find it difficult to study and put everything in perspective," she said. Other students thought that the word stress was overrated and that every college student was busy. Junior Jenny Parker said she was tired of hearing students say they were stressed. "I just think I'm really busy and sometimes I feel a lot of pressure, but that doesn't exactly make me a stressed person," Parker said. She felt students used stress as an excuse, and all students were overloaded with homework and classes. "You just have to learn how to adjust to it. It's part of the college learning experience — stress management," Parker said. Adjusting to the stress of college presented a problem to students. , Planning ahead, managing time or even hitting the party scene helped to decrease some of the stress, but no matter what students did, stress always seemed present in their lives.

Trades ost legends at IU consist of former athletes and performers. Their pictures appear in Assembly Hall and the Union as distinguished alumni. But an auburn-haired senior armed with his knowledge of physics, mathematics, linguistics, German and Japanese has joined the list as a different kind of legend — an academic legend. When Zachary Ziliak graduated in May, he left with 223 credit hours, 100 more than most four-year degrees require. He completed five majors, which no IU student had ever done. He plans to attend graduate school at Oxford as a Rhodes scholar, and he was only 20 years old. The Jasper, Ind., native said he had never intended to have five majors. "I came to IU thinking I would major in international relations or physics," the jeans-clad Ziliak said. He was already ahead by testing out of 41 credit hours, which gave him sophomore class standing. But his life became more complicated the more classes he took. He chose physics as his first major. Since physics required many mathematics courses and he had already tested out of 13 credit hours of math, Ziliak decided to major in that as well. Testing out of German and visiting the country advanced him closer to a German major. Ziliak's need for science and behavioral credits in his College of Arts and Science degree and his interest in languages prompted him to pursue a linguis-

Grabbing her seventh Mountain Dew of the night, she headed out the door, thinking she would never do this to herself again. Later that month, another student would fall prey to an all-nighter. Freshman Jim McCarty was attempting to calculate the surface area of a rose. His clock read 10 p.m. "Why do I need calculus?" he said. "I'm only going to be a physics major." He scratched out a few more lines of the equation and decided to take a break. Logging on to the VAX system, I.

McCarty began playing a computer game. "Die, you damned barbarian!" he said as he glanced at the clock. Shocked, he realized he had wasted two hours. Looking over his calculus problem once again, he wondered if he could calculate the surface area of the barbarian in his game. It was an interesting idea, but he pushed the thought aside. There were still several more problems to finish before his 9 a.m. class. Two hours later, McCarty finished his math problems. Now it was time for the real fun to begin as he let himself into his dorm's editing room. He had a film due in his English class in just three
days, and he still had tons of editing left to do. Settling down in front of the editing machine, he began clicking through frame after frame. McCarty looked up from the monitor. Four hours had passed, and he was working slower than he had anticipated. He still had three more hours before class though, plenty of time to finish a few more scenes. Hours later, McCarty finished up his editing for the night. Gulping down a cup of coffee, he promised himself that he would never procrastinate again. Like Hodge, he had learned his lesson.

Opinions of the class time were seldom positive. "You shouldn't have to get up before the sun does. It defies the laws of nature," freshman Grace Waitman said. "Eight o'clock labs are the worst," junior Amanda Lawrence said. "I can't deal with hydrochloric acid that early in the morning. It's not safe!"

"There's no way I'm going to put myself through that now." Other students accepted 8 a.m. classes as simply part of the college experience and as preparation for the work force after graduation. These students preferred to focus on the few positive aspects of getting to class by 8 a.m. "Once you're up, the worst part is over. Eight o'clocks are an incentive to get you up, so you can enjoy the rest of the day," freshman Tony Etienne said. During the months of January and February, however, few students felt any positive feelings about attending classes. In January, a snow storm hit the state, bringing such unbearable temperatures

"Nothing was shoveled, and a walk that would normally take 20 minutes took 30 minutes instead." Many students weren't even left with the option of skipping their classes during this time. "The teachers know you're not going to show up, so they take attendance or give pop quizzes," sophomore Kim Hall said. "That forces you to go to class." Whether it was getting out of bed for them or staying awake through them, 8 a.m. classes were an ordeal for most students. But they could be comforted in knowing that Purdue students had to get out of bed earlier than they did, because their classes started as early as 7:30 a.m. •

Z320 The Beatles Taught by Professor Glenn Gass, the class covered the personalities of each group member, their music and its influences, and the impact the group had on future rock and rollers. Junior Krys Marksberry took the class for two reasons. "Obviously, one must like the Beatles," he said. "And everyone knew the professor was great. His love of the subject makes the class." Gass also taught Z201, History of Rock and Roll Music, a prerequisite for the Beatles class. S329 Women and Deviance Tonya Harding and Lorena Bobbitt were current examples of this class' topics in action. "The class is designed to extend the study of the sociology of defiance so that it adequately includes women," Professor Martin Weinberg said. According to the Bulletin for the College of Arts and Sciences, "This course examines gender norms and roles in crime, detective fiction, mental illness, alcoholism, drug addiction, lesbianism, rape and abortion."

F317 Effects of Divorce on Children Taught by Professor Robert Billingham, the class not only examined a divorce's impact on children but the impact of the parents' behavior during the ordeal. "Several ex-spouses who have a child in the class try to find what they could do now to help their child," he said. Senior Amy Stiftel said, "The class helps dispel the myth that divorce is totally detrimental to children, but it stresses that divorce does have some negative effects on children."

Offered as a seminar for criminal justice majors, Parnell said the students seemed to enjoy learning from each other. "There was lots of discussion in class because violence is something that is ever present," he said. "Students felt violence is something they had to deal with very frequently. They asked good questions about violence to understand where it comes from."
L212 Biology of Food More than a nutrition course, students studied how organisms that humans use as food evolve, grow, reproduce and interact in the world. Professor Marti Crouch said her "observation that very few modern industrial humans know about and savor their connections to other organisms" inspired her to teach the class. Students also learned the effects of what they ate on their own bodies through a dietary analysis. A115 Birth and Death of the Universe Dr. Stuart Mason created a hands-on approach to stargazing for students. "I really would like students to gain some working knowledge of what goes on in the sky, as well as an appreciation of why we view our place in the cosmos the way we do," he said. The class included labs using the Macintosh Voyager II program, as well as historical readings and hours of looking at the stars and the moon. A362 Coaching of Basketball Ever wanted to know how to be a good basketball coach? Coach Bob Knight told students himself in this class. Assistant coach Norm Ellenberger taught most of the lectures, but when Knight taught, he spoke very little about basketball. Knight concentrated more on what it takes to be a good teacher rather than how to play the game. But students also practiced basketball drills as well.

H213 The Black Death In just one class, students learned all they needed to know about rats, rosaries and the Renaissance ... and its relationship to the bubonic plague.

Senior Michele Smallwood said, "I thought the class would be just about the disease, but it affects other aspects of history." R320 History of Television Why stay home and just watch television when you can learn the history of it? This course traced the development of television as a form of mass media. "We look at how is it that television helps us define who we are as a people and

"People think, 'This [witchcraft] is interesting, but it's all ancient history,"' Professor Moira Smith said. "Yet, when I saw this stuff coming back in the form of the current fear of satanic ritual abuse, it revived my interest. It's as current now as it ever was."

Playing Monopoly for A201 is not quite the same as
MORE THAN playing it with your folks Sunday afiernoon; A GAME
accounting students are not as merciful as mom ags of various chips, a two-liter bottle of Pepsi here, a case of B Coke there, a calculator on every table and more than 100 Monopoly boards, varying from the oldest edition to the newest, decorated the Wright Quad cafeteria the evening of March 22. Only moments after complaining about the long night that lie ahead, A201 students cheered in celebration at the purchase of Park Place or the landing of an opponent on a property with two houses. Every semester since fall of 1991, students taking A201, Intro to Financial Accounting, have been required to gather in similar conditions to play 27 rounds — roughly three hours — of Monopoly. Sophomore Candi Kempken said, "I think the idea of playing Monopoly in order to learn the accounting cycle is a neat one." The accounting department adopted the activity to give students practice in keeping and recording financial statements. Pamela Stuerke, a doctoral student and associate instructor of two A201 classes, said the game "gives students a mock-up of what it's like to go through a full accounting project in the real world. It's the big-picture concept of accounting." Rules for the activity were slightly altered to help students get the most out of the activity. Students played in
Y

groups of three to five, each student represented a company, and each round represented 15 days. Records were kept on all aspects of the game that pertained to what students have learned in class. Every A201 student played the 27 rounds in one night. In the following weeks, students used a computer program to create general financial statements for each company. The group turned in their statements and provided a write-up of which of their companies did the best and why. Students also submitted peer evaluations of the group members.
" You actually learn something from playing the game. 99 Sophomore Stefanie Loesche Professor Jim Frederickson, director of the accounting department, adopted the idea and modeled it after a variation of the activity developed by Robert Knechell at the University of Florida, who used the game in an MBA class. Frederickson said playing Monopoly was chosen because it was more fun and less time consuming than practice sets. The game also provided for group work, explained how accounting fit into the business world and allowed each student -I- A L. I F-
to act as the head of a company, bookkeeper and financial analyst. Although much thought went into adapting the game for use in A201 classes, the real concern was what the students got out of it. As Frederickson said, "Good comments and evaluations help put things into perspective." Most students found the game fun and useful in teaching the lessons of the class. Sophomore Stefanie Loesche said, "You actually learn something from playing the game." Sophomore Jeremy Chandler said the game provided handson experience and from playing the game, he learned, "how to put transactions on paper, set up financial statements and other business processes." Most students agreed the biggest downfall of the game was the time commitment. Sophomore Bryan Manno said, "The points received for it [the assignment] are not worth the time put into it." Kempken, one of Manno's partners, said, "The lessons could be easily missed if you grow impatient with all the paperwork necessary." Fall 1994 semester's A201 students may find some relief. Some changes to the activity for fall include providing students with existing corporations with existing financial statements instead of starting from scratch. Frederickson said this would cut down on the number of rounds students needed to play, which would reduce the time involvement. • 13 LI

The Student Literacy Corps members applied
WORDS TO LIVE BY techniques they learned in the classroom and used them in tutoring members of the community
tudents took for granted that they could read "Woodburn Hall" on S the large crimson sign outside the building or that they could read their email messages with ease. However, one in five Americans cannot read. But a group called the Student Literacy Corps tried to make a small dent in those statistics. During the spring semester, 13 graduates and undergraduates participated in the literacy program. Students used the techniques learned in L525, Practicum in Reading and Language, and X425, Practicum in Reading, to teach basic reading skills to all ages. The Corps members worked one-onone and with small groups of illiterate people from both the campus and Bloomington community. Junior Laura Jamieson, an early childhood education major, said, "It is exciting to see second graders open up and to become friends with them." Each student volunteered three to six hours weekly to meet with their learners at the Monroe County Public Library. Dr. Anabel Newman, professor of language education and director of the Reading Practicum Center, said, "The program does not advertise for learners because there are more learners than teachers." Learners were identified through local schools, parental concern and library personnel. The program grew from Newman's research and the need for such a service

in the community. Her 40 years of research in the field of reading learning theories and techniques served as the basis of the information the students studied and implemented with their learners. "Because of Dr. Newman's 40 years of research, the students only use the strategies that are proven successful," Al King, student coordinator of the Reading Practicum Center, said.
"Instead of adapting students to textbooks, I have learned that starting with the students' experiences and going from there is more successful" Senior Amy Vincent To be a member of the Corps, students took Newman's class, but the education class was not limited to education majors. Assistant Director Elizabeth Metz said the program represented a wide variety of fields, from education to history to business. "This class gets people into education without having to take large numbers of School of Education classes," Newman said. Every student took the class for a different reason. "A prominent reason is to provide an integral service to the community," Newman said. Junior Amy Harrison said she could
have fulfilled the requirements for her reading minor in other ways, but "I wanted to work one-on-one with kids," she said. Senior Amy Vincent's reason for becoming involved in the Corps was simple. "Dr. Newman's reputation precedes her," she said. The class and tutoring sessions benefited the students as well as their learners. "I have learned to incorporate reading into any subject I might teach," Harrison said. Harrison tutored a group of eighth graders and also worked one-on-one with one of the members of her group. With her group, she chose "The Outsiders," by S.E. Hinton, for them to read. She encouraged the eighth graders to read by relating "The Outsiders" to their lives. "If you can relate to them, they are pretty cooperative. You can't seem like an authority figure to them. They get enough of that in school with their teachers," she said. By becoming a member of the Corps, the students not only learned skills to help their learners, but they learned skills to last a lifetime. Vincent's experiences led her to her teaching philosophy. "I will take with me a completely different approach to education," she said. "Instead of adapting students to textbooks, I have learned that starting with the students' experiences and going from there is more successful." Ft._

n her Personal Health class, Ruth C. Engs, Ph.D., discussed the need for balance in one's life — a balance I mentally, physically and emotionally. For Engs, this meant sometimes walking 45 minutes from her Bloomington home to her office in the HPER. It also resulted in reminding herself to work out later that day by writing, "Exercise 8 - 9 a.m." on the schedule posted on her office door. And this was all accomplished before teaching classes and conducting research on her continuing study. Leading an internationally renowned study on the drinking patterns of college students, Engs, an Applied Health Science professor, contributed much time and effort to the most comprehensive study ever of student drinking. Engs' study of college students' drinking behavior began about 20 years ago. "I fell into it [the study]," she said. "The former Dean of Students wanted someone to start an alcohol education program on campus. The research grew from there." She devoted most of her research to college drinking. "However, about 20 percent of my research is devoted to the history of drinking throughout civilization," Engs said. Engs' recent study focused on the effects ofdrinking games on student drinkers. According to a study published in the journal "Psychological Reports," little research had been conducted in this area, even though drinking games were a common occurrence at college parties.

Although students benefited by using notes
CASH FOR NOTES from the Note Network, the service stirred
up controversy among some professors
reshman Anne Riley panicked a week before finals when her F backpack, including all of her notes, was stolen. Although she had heard of the Note Network, she did not consider using the service until her professor for R152, Religions of the West, suggested that she try their notes. "My professor did not particularly approve of the Note Network, but he agreed it was pretty much my only choice," Riley said. Riley found the Network's notes helpful in studying for the final. "I attended all my classes during the semester, so I knew what to look for. The notes were really good and well organized, but I have heard from other people who did not attend class and have not been so lucky." The idea of selling notes to students stemmed from co-owners Peter Franco and Mark Jones, who started the Note Network in Bloomington. The partners worked for a similar service at Penn State University and decided to pursue this type of business for themselves after graduation. The service hired students, who remained confidential, with a grade point average of 3.2 or above. Besides taking notes for a certain class in which they were to be enrolled, the students also typed the notes. Notes for a variety of classes were then made available to all students for $2 a class. Usually, it would be expected that a student enrolled in a class took their
own notes. Because the Network gave students the opportunity to receive notes while not attending class, some skepticism arose as to whether the Network was a service or a disservice. When Franco and Jones began their business, they discussed the service with University administrators. They agreed the Network would benefit students. "The administration thought it was a necessity at such a large university," Franco said. But their service received mixed feelings from professors. "Few professors have problems with [having their notes

carried]," Franco said. "If they do, we try to work with them as best we can." "There are an equal number of professors who think our service is a good idea. Some are indifferent to it. Once they come to our office, and see how it works, they usually feel better about the service," he said. Whether or not a professor approved, the Network provided notes for their class. "It is 100 percent legal so we feel we can do it," Franco said. Dr. Cynthia O'Dell, who taught P316, Psychology of Childhood and Adolescence, was not aware the NetE:0

work took notes for her class. It was not a policy of the Network to inform professors that they took notes for their class. "We assume they see it in our advertisements," Franco said. One of O'Dell's concerns was the Network copyrighted all of the notes they offered. "I would say it is a violation of my rights because I wrote the notes, they did not. It is their property now. If I would have signed a release, then it would be fine," O'Dell said. She also did not recommend that students rely solely on the Network to get by in a course without attending class. Students who have used the Note Network and attended class have benefited from the service. Senior Erick Frey heard about the service through a student from another university. "Personally, the reason I used it was because I like to listen to the professor and figure out what he is doing. I still attended class, but I did not take notes," Frey said, who purchased the notes for C342, Organic Chemistry. "I thought it helped because I could look at the notes [provided by the Network] and understand what was going on in the class. Before, I was too busy writing down notes to pay attention to the professor." In more than one case, the Network proved helpful to students, but professors stressed the risks involved when students used the service as a replacement for attending class. N/I N4 E., Fr_ m

AScholars CLASS OF reflect upon their four years and recall THEIR OWN memorable people and events from their journey raduation day ceremonies marked the end of a long and G difficult trek for a special group of 18 seniors, the "guinea pigs" of the Wells Scholars program. These students began their college career at the University in 1990 as the first class of Wells Scholars. The Wells Scholars program, which was named for Chancellor Herman B Wells, provided many special opportunities for the students. Throughout their four-year stay, they were treated to special lectures and discussion dinners with visiting professors and leaders, field trips to educational areas and tea parties with faculty members. For Andrew Schaaf, these opportunities were some of the greatest highlights of participating in the Wells program. "You can learn so much from those people because they've been through so much, and they've seen so much," he said. "The Cooks, for instance, started their business from almost nothing, and they've built an international empire. It's an honor for me to have been able to have sat down and to have spoken with them on a very casual, very personal one-on-one basis. It's really exciting." Throughout the years, the program
offered its participants several opportunities for academic as well as personal growth. A study-abroad option allowed Schaaf to spend a summer studying in Salamanca, Spain. Another opportunity afforded to the students was an optional $1,500 research grant. Wells Scholar Jay Krutulis used the grant to finance a hands-on program studying Alaskan ecology. "That really was a tremendous

I certainly feel like I got a hell of a lot out of it," he said. "We were in the Alaskan Brush with no running water, no phones, no people, no nothing, studying the geology and history of the area.

Even though the academic program of advanced honors courses and required seminars was rigorous, students in the program found time for a variety of interests. Krutulis enjoyed participated in a production of "Jesus Christ Superstar," as well as relaxing outdoors, reading and playing the piano. Schaaf played trombone in the Marching Hundred and sang in a community music group. He spent his free time composing at the piano, watching David Letterman on television, listening to Barry Manilow music and writing "lots of e-mail." He felt one of the greatest aspects of the program was that its participants had such varied interests and goals. "The beauty of the program is how diversified it is. They're careful to bring in people with all different types of interests from the business school to the music school to whatever," Schaaf said. "We all may be Wells Scholars in the end, but we have a whole diverse set of interests which lead us to do very distinct, very different things." During the final week of April, a dinner was held to honor the graduating seniors of the program. Saying goodbye continued

"I thought [the director and heads of the Wells Scholars program] were all going to cry saying goodbye to us," Krutulis said. "They're not really our counselors. They're more like our best friends. It's a really close-knit program for the most part." Graduation brought thoughts of the future for the students. Krutulis planned to attend graduate school in the fall at Emery University in Atlanta, Ga., to study neuroscience. He had dreams of

Although he prepared to say a final goodbye to his undergraduate days, Schaaf looked forward to new beginnings. "I have enjoyed my time very much here," he said. "In different academic settings, you get a different perspective and you learn different things. It's good to diversify, so I guess that's what it's time to do." •

others have been changed altogether. Take the issue of retention. It was addressed in the Agenda but has since been given a higher priority." Other IU officials agreed, saying any plans of an academic nature have to be taken in stride.

Shortly after Ehrlich arrived at Bloomington in 1987, the phrase "One University with Eight Front Doors" became as ingrained in IU's vernacular as George Bush's "A Kinder, Gentler
Nation" had for the United States. Prior to Ehrlich's arrival, some campus chancellors said, IU resembled a set of loosely grouped campuses more than an eight-campus system. "Out here on the frontiers, we regard that as a very important change," IU-South Bend Chancellor Daniel Cohen said. "It's a notion that Ehrlich has affirmed.

MOVING FORWARD which give them roles that cut across the University rather than just their campus. It changes the way you think about the University." Various academic endeavors involving two or more campuses became more common during Ehrlich's tenure, such as collaborative research projects between two or more campuses and courses taught at one location and across the state. But affirmations aside, the notion of giving equal attention to eight campuses with enrollments ranging from 5,700 to 35,500 can only be stretched so far, Ehrlich said. "There will always be things in Bloomington that can't be replicated; it would be silly to try," Ehrlich said. "To have a music school like the one we have in Bloomington, it just wouldn't be possible. But there will always be room for improvement." Chancellors at other IU campuses also recognized that despite their potential to grow, their roles in comparison to the Bloomington and Indianapolis campuses would still be perceived as secondary. "Frankly, some of our campuses have felt like minorities," Cohen said. "When we think about the IU slogan `One University with Eight Front Doors,' on occasion, we make jokes

But there will always be room for improvement, President Thomas Ehrlich known, changes during Ehrlich's tenure involved ILl's budget system. Enacted in Bloomington in 1990, Responsiblity-Center Management (RCM) was a budget system that allowed schools to keep all the money
they generated through tuition, research and other sources. Under the old budget system, campus chancellors were responsible for giving out money, and they did not always fund each school in proportion to the income that the school generated. The various schools, which for budget purposes were called responsibility centers, varied in size. For example, the College of Arts and Sciences, the largest center, kept all the money it took in through tuition, research and public service. This budget change helped COAS because it previously had received less money from the University than it generated in terms of research and student enrollment. In theory, a profit motive of sorts inspired schools to attract more students by finding better professors and researchers. "To answer the question in business terms, the evaluation is done by the customer," University Vice President Kenneth Gros Louis said. "Evaluation for research is evaluated by the international research community and evaluation for teaching is evaluated by the number of courses taken." Administrators cited RCM as one of the most significant changes IU underwent during Ehrlich's presidency. "It's not been very public, but I think it's been very important," Gros Louis said. continued

MOVING FORWARD IU was one of the first public universities to switch to RCM. But other Big Ten universities, such as Michigan and Minnesota, have showed interest in RCM. "What I have heard from deans on this campus and in Indianapolis is that it's been an extremely important tool," Ehrlich said. "It allows academic priorities to drive budget priorities and not vice versa. If Thomas Ehrlich was anything, he was shy about taking credit for IU's
accomplishments. It's true that almost everything that happens at the University requires resources and help from many people. But Ehrlich was still hesitant to associate himself with initiatives such as RCM, the Academic Agenda and the "One University with Eight Front Doors" mentality, all of which he strongly influenced. "A lot of things have happened at Indiana University since I have been here," Ehrlich said. "None of them have been solely because of Thomas Ehrlich."

ew President Myles Brand discusses his N plans for IU at the April news conference. His top priorities include improving state government relations and the graduation rate.
AND THE WINNER IS . . . Incoming IU President Myles Brand, dressed in a blue suit and an IU-logoed tie, looked like an image on a postcard in April as he stood in front of a blue backdrop with an "Indiana University" sign hanging over his head. No place could have been more appropriate for Brand to describe his feelings of his new position as president of Indiana University. "My whole life has been a preparation for coming to Indiana University," Brand said at his first news conference after being named IU's new president in April, 1994. "It's a dream come true." Brand, who officially took the reigns on Aug. 1, 1994, had already given IU a glimpse of what to expect under his leadership. He described state government relations as one of his top priorities. Brand will be coming to a university that has seen its state funding cut by $10 million during the past two years. But IU's "crisis" seems trifle when compared to the $64.8 million in state revenue Oregon has lost since 1991. "I will look very hard at creating a partnership between legisla-
tors and higher education in Indiana," he said. It's not a wonder why Brand describes this and other problems at IU as both "challenges" and "opportunities." Another of Brand's challenges is improving IU's graduation rate. "I would work very hard — and this is on my priority list — to drive up the graduation rate at IU, especially the Bloomington campus," Brand said. "It's 57 percent, about the same as Oregon. The national average is under 50 percent, so it's not that bad. But it's not good enough." Brand is concerned about admissions, but is more specifically focused on retention. "We need to make it possible for all students to graduate, and work hard to retain, particularly in the freshman and sophomore years when you have most of the dropouts, retain students toward graduation." Despite assurances that he is not "going to fix things that aren't broken," Brand, 51, described some of his leadership qualities that would distinguish him from his predecessor, Thomas Ehrlich. "I think Tom is the type of person who tends to look at things from a provost's [comparable to a campus chancellor] perspective," Brand said at
last April's news conference. "Whereas I might have somewhat more of a statewide focus." An otherwise flattering 1992 review of Ehrlich mentioned criticisms of the o president's tendency toward micromanagement, a style of management in which a leader takes on responsibilities meant for subordinates. Despite any differences in leadership style, Ehrlich praised Brand's qualifications for being IU's 16th president. "I've watched as he's gone through some tough times at Oregon," Ehrlich said. "He's handled those with grace and style and insight." Brand, who will take office Aug. 1, indicated that he will not be firing any criticisms at Bob Knight anytime soon. Ehrlich's iron fist subsided after Knight considered taking a coaching job at the University of New Mexico. "Bobby Knight is among the greatest basketball coaches," he said. "Bobby Knight is good for Indiana and good for Indiana University." B

He oversaw a department of approximately 37 people. These various positions ranged in function from the investment of the University's cash and operating fund (where the money went after students paid their tuition) to the management of repayment of student loans. Miller personally signed all of the University's contracts and legal obligations. "About half of my job is outside
the IU community. It's really a mixed bag," he said. Miller's job kept him busy, but it was not his only concern. "My kids [ages 9, 11 and 14] take up 90 percent of my time," he said. When he was not involved with his children's activities, Miller enjoyed fishing and camping. "My favorite fishing places are the backwaters by Lake Monroe." Miller related his favorite thing about IU to his love of the outdoors. "I worked in an East Coast city before coming here. Walking across campus is so much nicer than a city street." ice President and IUB Chancellor Kenneth Gros Louis V spent many days in meetings, listening to concerns from faculty, students and his staff who brought questions to his office. He also served as a liaison for University guests. "At times, visitors will come from off campus; part of my job is to make them feel comfortable at IU and to enjoy their experiences," Gros Louis said.

Keeping family together A BA BA MA MA MA." Esteban Olmo babbled as he crawled over to the couch where his mama was jotting some thoughts down in her journal for R202, a telecommunications class. The tiny 1-year old with a headful of wavy brown hair pushed himself up to standing position, using the stained, gray couch for support. His wide, big-brown eyes looked up at his mama, who was finishing a Spanish dinner of pastelles between writing sentences. "BA-BA," he gurgled, pounding his fists on the couch. "What is it, Baby?" Lori Olmo, a telecommunications major, said smiling down at her son. He had been suffering from the stomach flu for the past couple of days. The sophomore picked him up and placed him next to her folders and papers. He immediately scampered over to the table toward a pink plastic cup filled with water. Grabbing the cup, he began to gulp down the water. Lori took the cup away, despite Esteban's protesting howls. "Baby, you know if I give you this, it will just come right back up. I wish I could give it to you, but I can't," she said sympathetically, patting him on the back. "I'm so sorry you are sick." She placed him on the rug where he
crawled toward the television a few feet away. "Winnie the Pooh" lit up the screen. Olmo's daughter, Lisette, sat next to her mother, head resting on her shoulder, eyes glued to the cartoon. "Mommy, can I watch another movie now?" the 4-year old asked, when "Winnie the Pooh" finished. But Lori insisted she take a bath instead. As she got up to prepare the bath water for Lisette, she looked at the clock on the way to the bathroom: 9:30 p.m. Yawning, she thought about the journal entries she had to finish for tomorrow, but more importantly, she hoped Esteban felt better in the morning. Otherwise, she knew she would sit in class the next day and wonder if he was doing all right while he was at day care. With the responsibility of raising two young children on her own and attending a full load of classes, Olmo didn't necessarily fit the traditional mold of a college student, although just like other college women, she worried about upcoming exams and staying in shape — the videotape shelf below her television contained "Buns of Steel," "Winnie the Pooh" and "Barney." But unlike other college women, she worried about the kind of day care her children received and which children's dentist in the Bloomington area would treat her children kindly. continued

"It has its ups and downs, but it's the best thing for me. I'd rather do this than just sit at home," Olmo said, about dealing with being a single morn and a full-time student.

Olmo ranted to continue her schooling,
especially after taking a broadcasting class in high school, which she enjoyed a great deal. Before leaving for Bloomington, she tried to break off her relationship with her boyfriend, Frank, who is Lisette's father. During this time, she became pregnant again. Despite her pregnancy, Olmo decided to attend IU as planned, but Lisette stayed with Olmo's mother in their hometown, Gary. "It was hard being without my daughter, but I knew it would have been harder to try to start college as a freshman and have a child with me," she said. During her freshman year at IU, Olmo remembered receiving special
treatment because she was pregnant. "People treated me like I was handicapped," she said. "One particular bus driver was really nice. I had an art class and you could work on your own in this class so all you had to do was sign in and leave. The bus driver knew I went in and out of that class so he sat there and waited for me to come back." Besides having to sit sideways in desks during the later stages of her pregnancy, Olmo had little difficulty adjusting to college life. She even rode her bike around campus up through the sixth month of her pregnancy. "I always told my friends that I would ride my continued

worries. Among other things, she now had to find someone to watch her infant while she attended class. But she soon realized that even baby sitters couldn't do everything. "One time, I left him with a friend while I took a test. Before I took the test, I called over there to make sure everything was OK, and it turned out the person who was watching him didn't have any milk. I forgot to give her the bottle," Olmo said. "So I had to go get Esteban, and I breast fed him during my test."
Olmo shares a private moment alone with her boyfriend, Raul Sanchez, at La Casa.
When she returned to Bloomington in the fall of her sophomore year, Olmo brought both children with her. She believed that it was important to keep the siblings together. During the first week of classes, she had to take them to class with her because she had yet to find day care for them. "It was crazy," she said. But through a friend, she found day care for both of them. Her daily routine consisted of waking up early, getting the kids ready for day care and herself for classes, taking the bus to day care, then to class
and picking up the kids after class. Besides preparing dinner and entertaining the children during the evening, she managed to find time to study. "Usually, if I have to study, I put the kids in bed early," she said. When tests and papers piled up, she would send the kids home to her mother in an attempt to get caught up in her classes. Her current boyfriend, sophomore Raul Sanchez, also helped watch the children. Olmo said Raul was the father figure the children sometimes needed. With a current emphasis placed on
family values, some may look at Olmo and find nothing right with what she was doing for herself and her children. But it was hard to find the wrong in a woman who wanted the best for her kids and the best for herself. "I'm sure that people see me on campus when I am pushing Esteban in his buggy and Lisette is walking beside me and they might he thinking, Nep, typical Latino girl, young with two children.'

Dean, an account coordinator, was involved in the business side of the agency. Account coordinators like Dean went out into the community to gain the interest of local businesses. Getting the businesses
interested was the beginning of the process. Ad Infinitum designed entire advertising campaigns. After the account coordinator contacted a business, he met with them to gain insight into their business. The account coordinators then met with the creative department to work on advertising ideas. "We all work together to come up with our ideas,"

"It gives them a chance to see if they like it because this is the type of work that is done in a real agency." Two of the clients Ad Infinitum worked with included the University telecommunications department and Middle Way House. The group planned a

Beyond the
KS elping the community was one of the h major goals of the Mortar Board, an honorary society that recognized students for leadership, scholarship and commitment to aid others in need. "The thing that makes us unique is that we are not just another honors society. One thing we look for is involvement. We do try to go out and give back to the community on a personal basis,"
senior William Knobeloch, the group's communications chairman, said. Each year, the organization admitted 40 seniors through a specific selection process. Members were selected based on a 3.0 grade point average, a series of essays, their involvement in the community and other leadership positions. The essays focused on philanthropy, involvement on campus and goals in their
particular areas of study. Mortar Board members worked with the Boys & Girls Club. They held a pizza and roller skating party with the children at Western Skateland. Working with these children was a highlight for many of the members. "I enjoyed the party with Boys & Girls Club the most because it's one of the most direct things we've done. It was rewarding in that it gave continued

tat for Humanity, community soup kitchens and the Vital Quiz Bowl, a competition between faculty and students in the spring. On campus, the group participated in the national Mortar Board project, which
focused on addressing substantive women's issues. The group helped locally with the Rape Crisis Fund in November. The members also handed out fliers in hopes to increase rape awareness around campus.
The Poverty Puzzle was mother national project in which the organization held group discussions and then came up with a series of goals to bring students and the community closer together. They hoped to implement
these goals in finding different ways of preventing poverty in Bloomington. "By being a part of this organization, I've gained more awareness of the general living conditions around the community, and I've learned
how even a seemingly small amount of involvement can make a big difference," senior James Trilling, the group's treasurer, said. Being a part of Mortar Board meant more than good grades; it meant helping the community.

Pershing Rifles provided the color guard at the basketball and football games. "It was nerve-wracking the first time," freshman Kristin Ruehle said about her first experience in front of thousands of screaming fans.
"You have to listen really carefully for the commands," Ruehle said. "You have to drown out all the noise." The crowd became invisible to her when she concentrated on the commands. Even after a semester's worth of experience and a training period of an hour a week for six weeks, Ruehle still made mistakes. During a basketball game she took a step too many, but it probably wasn't too notice-
able, she said. The campus chapter of the Rifles received a regimental position through which it took charge of 14 other schools. "We act as a gobetween for national headquarters and local groups," junior Michael Olejnik said. The school that had the position last year did not do a very good job, Olejnik said.

increased workload from the new regimental position. In addition to more paperwork, the group was in charge of sponsoring a regional Rifles convention in February. All local schools involved with Pershing Rifles were invited to discuss problems, pay dues and vote on issues. Schools that do not have Pershing Rifles were also invited to the convention to learn more about the organization.
The campus chapter was also busy with fundraising efforts. Pershing Rifles worked with ROTC to host a pledge sale where pledges were "sold" for two hours to willing buyers. The group also raised money with a popcorn sale. One of the most important tasks for the organization was finding new recruits. They posted signs around campus and in dormitories.

While the organization was open to any student on campus, the group attained most of its members from the campus ROTC. "We do our best to get outside people," Olejnik said. Ruehle learned of the Rifles from a recruiter that came to her ROTC class. She said it sounded interesting, so she and a friend decided to join. Ruehle enjoyed Pershing Rifles because "you
get to do the games and meet a lot of people." Experience with ROTC was not necessary for students to join. Freshman Marcia Down had no experience with ROTC when she heard about the organization from a friend on her dorm floor. "I always wanted to be in the military. I thought it [Pershing Rifles] might give me a taste of what it [the military] would be like."

TEAMS ver wonder who was behind the Homee coming activities such as the pep rally and Homecoming court? Or who organized for halftime activities during basketball games? Who sponsored Student Night at women's basketball games? The Student Athletic Board worked with the 19 varsity sports to help make athletic events more enjoyable for players and spectators. Much work went on behind the scenes as members decorated lockers for athletes and gave them "team send-offs" or care packages
for away games. During swim meets, members timed the events. At football games, they worked in the press box or sold merchandise. If there was a need for their help in varsity athletics, SAB members were there. SAB was one of the few student organizations in the country that allowed students to get directly involved with athletics. "Herman B Wells started it to provide a link between the athletic department and student body," senior Ted Cappas, director of SAB, said. The board covered all aspects of relations between
coaches and the students. "Whatever the coaches need, we try to provide for them," Cappas said. The group contributed to Homecoming weekend by hosting a pep rally and sponsoring the homecoming king and queen's court. SAB worked closely with the Student Alumni Council on advertising for the Homecoming activities. During Parent's Weekend, Oct. 29-31, SAB sponsored an essay contest in which students could nominate their mother or father for the best mom and pop. continued

she arrived on campus, she heard about the organization through balloons and fliers. At the mass meeting, she was so impressed by the group's commitment to the athletic department that she decided to join.

position as a director. The executive board consists of 15 juniors and seniors "who have worked their way up," Cappas said. Under each director there were 100 chairs available to sophomores, juniors and seniors. Depending on the magnitude of the director's position, each director has between six and
10 chairs. More than 900 members were involved in the organization. SAB also had caught the attention of other schools. Cappas said others had shown an interest in starting a similar organization at their schools. Utah State requested information wanting to know how to start their own group.
While word of SAB's involvement had spread, members still kept busy with their activities in the hope that students and the athletic department could continue to work together more easily. "It's a really neat organization in how much we can help the athletic department," Sherman said. •

Iv bile the name Baptist Student Union may have discouraged some nonBaptists from joining, the organization was devoted to promoting Christian values. "The Baptist Student Union exists solely to meet the needs of students and help them to grow and mature in a relationship with Jesus Christ," director Joni Hannigan said. Junior Trisha Yednock said initially she was apprehensive, but "little by little I became more involved. I
believe in the people, and I have grown so much spiritually by having Christian friends for support." "The Baptist Student Union is a Bible-based group that seeks to encourage the spiritual growth of the students involved and to help them reach out to others on the IU campus," Yednock, Publicity and Outreach chairwoman, said. Hannigan said that through a mixture of meetings and retreats, the Baptist Student Union "seeks to
meet student's spiritual, social and emotional needs through a balanced program of events." Some of the various programs sponsored by the Baptist Student Union were weekly creative worship meetings, Bible-study groups, conferences, retreats, seminars, guest speakers and mission programs. While on missions, the group traveled to Montana, Myrtle Beach and even Africa. Once a week the Baptist Student Union sponsored continued

BAPTIST "Tuesday Nights Together," a meeting in which students gathered to sing songs, hear a testimony and listen to guest speakers. Aside from the religious aspect of the group, the students enjoyed a variety of social events, which included canoeing, skiing, ice skating, pizza parties and retreats. In January the chapter sponsored the "01' Canvas Shoe," an annual tournament between Indiana college Baptist Student Unions to
raise money for missions. On Friday night of the competition, the teams listened to a speaker and played cards and board games. On Saturday, the teams played basketball and volleyball games. The top three teams won a spraypainted canvas shoe. The tournament's purpose was to "encourage fellowship, cooperation and comradery among Baptist Student Unions," Hannigan said. Although the organization was directed by Hannigan, University students also were actively
involved in the group's leadership team. Three major areas comprised the leadership team: publicity and outreach, discipleship and the freshman team. All three teams worked together to plan and conduct the Tuesday night meetings. Sophomore Matt Cox said he has developed decision-making and organizing skills since being a publicity and outreach chairman. Cox also said of the group, "It's a plus having people your age around who share the same interests."

For the Love of
M love for music and a desire to perform were the only a requirements needed to join the All-Campus Chorus. "The All-Campus Chorus is a wonderful opportunity for talented non-music majors to perform extensively," chorus director Bob Tamborrino said. Any interested student, faculty member or alumni, regardless of experience, could join the chorus. It was offered as a one-credit course in the music department as a
US IC
non-major music course, X001. The men's, women's and mixed choruses each met separately once a week in Ballantine Hall. Former Dean of Students Michael Gordon, a professor in the School of Music, founded the chorus in 1985. He originally started the organization as a residence hall chorus in 1982. To get men interested in the chorus, he personally started the first men's chorus with representatives from each fraternity and residence hall. Later, a
women's and mixed chorus were created to include more people interested in music, and the chorus became a student organization in 1988. "What I was trying to accomplish was bringing the academic life closer to the student life, and vice versa. I felt that the average 'Joe' and `Jill' with an interest in music were being ignored. IU has an outstanding reputation for its music school, and I wanted a campus-wide organization that would continued

bring many facets of the University together with the opportunity for non-music majors to perform," Gordon said about his creation of AllCampus Chorus. By performing on and off campus, the organization tried to build a bridge between the University and the community. They performed at churches such as St. Paul's, Meadowood Retirement Community and other retirement centers, and many Bloomington schools. The highlight for the chorus members was the end-ofsemester performance held in the Auditorium, where they displayed all their efforts and work to the public. "Concerts for the com-
munity are a valuable experience for the members of the chorus. We like to sing and bring music to those who don't always have the chance to see musical performances, Tamborrino said. Since the type of audience may vary, the group performed tunes that had "something for everyone." This included a variety of music, everything from 14th and 15th century classical, to jazz, blues, Broadway and rock and roll. The organization represented many foreign cultures by performing songs written in Greek, Latin, Spanish, French, Hebrew and even Zulu. Students had the chance not only to sing, but to become actively involved in other aspects of the chorus.
Members who could play musical instruments accompanied the singers, as well as composed original pieces for the chorus. Tamborrino said student involvement was important to increase creativity and leadership in the organization. Junior Kevin Kreissl, student president of the mixed chorus, said, "I've been involved with the chorus for five semesters, and I plan to be a part of it for the rest of my college years. It has given me leadership qualities and I've gained a lot of friends through this organization." In the past five years, the All-Campus Chorus has grown to approximately 230 members. Kreissl said Tamborrino made a great
contribution to the AllCampus Choruses. "Bob Tamborrino is very dedicated and turned the chorus around. He's made it into an activity that many people wanted to be involved in," Kreissl said. For founder Michael Gordon it was a joy to see the growth of the All-Campus Choruses. "I hope that one day the chorus will be able to visit and perform at other universities, and we can form a network of college choruses," Gordon said. At the end of each concert, the song "Spirit of Indiana," which Gordon wrote and dedicated to the class of 1987, traditionally was sung as a thank you for his dedication to the campus choruses.

Meanwhile, the audience waited in the lobby of the Creative Arts Auditorium awaiting to be seated for the FANI production, April 14. Unlike most other productions, the April show began with introductions of the 28 performers. Loud music played in the background as the African-
American student performers were introduced. FANI officially began in February, as one student's dream of creating a show that would spotlight AfricanAmerican talent. Senior David Radford had been writing skits for a talent show when he decided to expand his talents. His motivation for starting the group came from what he saw as "a need for black drama on campus." He also wanted an outlet for his own creativity in writing and acting. He decided to pitch his idea for a perform-
ing group that would present an African-American perspective through acting. Radford said he tried to get a performing group started in 1990, but found difficulty in finding sponsors. "The problem I had was the fact that a lot of people didn't want to sign their name to something run totally by students," Radford said. But Dr. James E.

FANI a skit Radford had written about young, AfricanAmerican teenagers going to jail. "He really liked how the audience responded to us," Radford said. The name FANI came about from the meeting with Mumford. Junior Jason Foreman and Radford were looking for a name that was short and would attract people's attention. When Mumford, FANI's adviser, asked them what the group should stand for, Foreman said, "Funny," and Radford added, "and never intimidating." Mumford suggested they shorten the name, and the group was born. Radford and Foreman
personally handpicked performers with whom they were acquainted and who they felt would be interested. But since there were so many students interested, they had to hold auditions. The word got out about the group and since so many students were interested, they had to hold auditions. In one year, the number jumped from a meager 19 students to 56 performers, writers and supporters. "When we started, the people we picked were basically performers," Radford said. "[Now] we have a wide variety of talent. We have a nice balance." Dancers, writers, rappers, mimes and photographers all joined the group. Radford
said while other organizations had to pay for lighting and sound technicians, FANI had its own. The group, which is entirely student-run, divided itself into three committees: format, writing and executive. Format provided advertisements, costumes and props. The writers created new ideas for shows while the executives dealt with the business side of the operation. Radford wrote the first few performances, but he said anyone was welcome to offer ideas to the group. Normally the group strived to produce three performances a year, in November, February and April; but the group only performed in November and

April. The performers practiced twice a week and ran for several months prior to the show. The November show offered skits while the April show was a who-doneit comedy/soap opera. Radford described it as a "Days of Our Lives" meets "Soap." The April show, titled "As the FANI Turns," based itself on the millionaire Blackbrand family from Fort Wayne, Ind. The National Panhellenic Council, Union Board, Black Student Union and the residence hall student governments funded the shows. Much of the money came straight out of the performers' pockets. The profit from the first show helped fund the second. •

n 1867, Indiana was the first state university to admit women on an equal basis with men. In 1991, Thomas Gaines rated Bloomington the fifth prettiest campus in the United States in his book, "The Campus as a Work of Art." Whether presenting the beauty of the school, its academic tradition or rich history, the University strove to attract potential students by pointing out its strong features with the help of campus tour guides. Choosing the right school to attend was one of the many decisions high school students' faced. For some, the college experience began months before their first classes with a visit to
OFF
prospective schools. Each school tried to persuade students that it was the right choice. The University encouraged incoming students to enroll by offering tours around campus. The Office of Admissions offered hourlong tours, three times a day Monday through Friday and twice on Saturday. The tours began at the Arboretum, then followed to the Art Museum, the Union and the Old Crescent area on the west side of campus. The tour guides then led the groups by the main classroom area and the Music building, finally ending the tours at the Office of Admissions on Jordan Avenue. While speaking about the
campus in general, the various buildings and the residence halls, tour guides provided inside information about the University through their own college experiences. "A lot of it is personal experience on the tour," junior Jamie Hickey said. By providing their own experiences, the tour guides helped the prospective students feel more comfortable with the current student body and college life. The Office of Admissions presented the guides with information about the University that could be used during their tours. The tour guides decided whether or not they wanted to use the information.

lot of freedom," junior Shannon Starck said. "Everyone pretty much has their own style," junior Pam Modarelli said. "I go more into the experience than the buildings." Student volunteers worked as tour guides, leading walking tours of the central part of the campus. More than 200 applicants applied for the unpaid positions. Other Big Ten schools compensated the guides for their time and effort. "It's neat that so many people want to do it for no pay at all," Modarelli said. She said it just proved how willing people are to get involved in the University. Usually two guides were assigned to each tour. While giving the tour, they worked using the "buddy-system," helping each other answer questions posed by prospective students. Working with a partner allowed the tour guides to offer different views on their opinions about the campus. Tour guides had to he enthusiastic, well-informed students, who were helpful and had a good sense of humor. "The campus tour guides are representatives of Indiana University," said Jane Gantz,
Associate Director of Admissions and faculty adviser to the campus tour guide team. She said prospective students liked to know all they could about a school before making that crucial decision. What the students received from their first impression of the school would help them make a decision in the end. A tour of a new college campus was one of the best ways to understand what a university was all about, Gantz said. For Modarelli, that was the case. When she first visited the University, she took a tour and her guide impressed her with her ability to answer questions. When making her decision, the tour helped her choose to attend the University. In addition to conducting the informative tours, guides visited high schools around the state and in other states to answer any questions. The Office of Admissions called these meetings "Preview Nights." Speaking with current University students made choosing a college much easier for high school students. After being tour guides, students felt they could "sell" the campus to others. "It's a great way to give something back to the University," Modarelli said. •

CLASS bile some students were w naturally inclined to excel in their classes, others had to work for their grades. For those students who excelled in their course work, Phi Beta Kappa saluted their efforts. Phi Beta Kappa member Jules Lin devoted four to five hours to studying daily. When he found out about his nomination, he said he was "very proud, very happy." Another student, Carrie Atkinson said "I wasn't working towards it. I was just trying to get good grades." When she was notified of her election into Phi Beta Kappa she said, "I was excited. I was proud of myself."
Phi Beta Kappa, the oldest academic honorary society in existence, originated at the College of William and Mary in Virginia in 1776. Indiana's chapter, Gamma of Indiana, started in 1911. Assistant Dean Catharine Hoffs said 242 chapters of Phi Beta Kappa existed nationwide. Colleges could start new chapters every three years, but the selection of new college chapters was strict. Even though the organization was primarily an honor group, it sponsored a visiting scholar program in conjunction with the Department of Psychology. Professor Lauren B. Resnick from the University of Pittsburgh
spoke Jan. 28 on "Developing Mathematical Intuition." Phi Beta Kappa held its initiation banquet April 20 in Alumni Hall. At the ceremony, Professor Emeritus Gene Lawlis lectured on "Reflections on POW Life — and Death." Election to the group was the highest academic honor an undergraduate could achieve. Students had to be in the top 10 percent of their graduating class and part of College of Arts and Sciences to be considered for election to the honor society. From those in the top percentile, the faculty electors chose only those who had taken rigorous courses in the liberal arts and sciences. •

Students also could take classes such as "Vegetarianism" and "Pressure to be Perfect," a body image class. "The whole thing is geared to nutrition, health and exercise," freshman Ruth Newman said. Students interested in joining the Wellness Center had to pay a small fee and enroll in an eight-week, one-
credit course titled "Community Living in a Wellness Center." Wellness members were the only ones allowed to use the facility. Freshman Heather Ryan used the Wellness Center three or four times a week. "I like it because it's not crowded like the rest of the weight rooms," she said. "I think it's great because it's so convenient," Newman said. Students could avoid congestion at the HPER without having to leave the dorm. •

magine walking down the dimly lit hallway of your dorm late at night. As you bend down toward the water fountain, you see a strange figure out of the corner of your eye. But when you look up you see nothing but darkness. Could it be a figment of your imagination, or a lost soul from a different dimension? The supernatural did not seem to mind dorm life, unlike many students. Senior Lily Cigan moved into Collins-Cravens, room C-43, during Christmas break of her sophomore year, knowing nothing about the dorm when she moved in. During the week before the second semester she heard footsteps on the ceiling of her room. Thinking that there must be another floor above hers, she ignored them. Weeks later she realized that no other floor existed above her own. One night Cigan was alone
NIG HT in her room with the fan off and the windows closed. "I was lying in bed when I felt a cool breeze brush across my arm. Immediately afterwards, I heard something bump into our stereo," Cigan said. Later in the year, junior Matt Parrilli, Cigan's boyfriend, also encountered the ghost. "It screamed my name, and then it brushed up against me," Parrilli said. Another resident of the floor walked into the room thinking she saw senior Amy Rogers, Cigan's roommate, standing in front of the mirror. She started to talk to her, but realized that Rogers was lying in bed still asleep. The roommates concluded that the spooky happenings could only be those of a ghost. "I just wasn't comfortable in that room," Cigan said. Another dorm had connections with the supernatural as well. According to
University folklore, McNutt was the home of "The Hatchet Man." In the early 1970s, two girls stayed during Christmas vacation. An RA instructed the girls not to leave the dorm alone. One girl decided to leave anyway. That night the obedient girl heard a scratching at her door. Too afraid to open the door, she stayed in bed. In the morning, she found her roommate dead outside their door with a hatchet in her head. The scratching noise came from the nails of the girl clawing at the door for help. Soon after this incident with "The Hatchet Man," residents heard scratching noises throughout McNutt. Most reports of ghosts have come from word of mouth. For those who do believe in the supernatural, Bloomington has more than its share of creatures that go bump in the night. •

esidents of Forest Hall were distracted from their daily routines because of an unusual substance which pervaded throughout the cafeteria and snack bar the evening of Aug. 31. As residents sat in the cafeteria and snack bar around 5:30 p.m., conversing and eating as usual, some noticed a strange tickling sensation in the back of their throats. Others felt as if they had inhaled a vapor that caused them to start coughing. "I was in the main cafeteria when it happened. People started coughing. Some were passing out from
the fumes. It was crazy," freshman Alison Lang said. The IU Police Department, Bloomington Police and fire departments evacuated residents and employees. Sixty-two people were taken by ambulances to Bloomington Hospital for treatment of their nausea and hyperventilation. Two students, freshman Amy Dawson and sophomore Brandy Stephenson, were admitted to the hospital for overnight observation. Those students who did not have to go to the hospital went to Read and Willkie cafeterias to eat and relax. Around 9:30 p.m.,
officials allowed the students to return to their dorm rooms. "We all just sat around until they let us go back to the dorm. Even though they told us all to leave, some stayed in their rooms anyway," freshman Lisa Williams said. The fumes were contained in the center building, which housed the cafeteria. Although Forest officials said the hall was cleared of any harmful fumes, they still required students to eat in other cafeterias. The official cause of the gas was undetermined according to IU Police Department reports, Lt. Jerry Minger said.

bile some students saw their resident assistants as parents or wardens, RAs dealt with more than busting dorm parties. Often RAs helped others with problems. For senior Jamie Hickey, some problems associated with her job were alcohol abuse, eating disorders, personality conflicts and a pregnancy scare. On Feb. 3, Hickey's day began at 9 a.m. when her alarm went off. She began by posting signs. Then she talked to the custodian about problems with a leaky sink. After class, Hickey went to the RA office, checked her mail, picked up her $85 check and filled out paper-
work. Later, she talked with students about problems and with the treasurer about spending the floor money. At 6:30 p.m., she locked the dorm buildings and went to the RA office to go on duty. From 7 p.m. to midnight, she answered the phone, responding to lockouts, fire alarms and other emergencies. At midnight, she locked the center building and went back to her room, studied and got ready for bed. Although Hickey had put in a long day, she was still not off duty. Emergency calls were forwarded from the RA office to her room. In addition to late night interruptions, there were
other drawbacks to her job. "It's hard to live where you work and have to constantly set an example. It's also stressful dealing with apathetic residents who don't take you seriously." The unpredictability of the job was another drawback. Hickey said, "As RAs, we feel restricted sometimes. You never know what's going to happen, and you can't choose your hours ... But Hickey said the personal benefits and rewards of being an RA outweighed the negative aspects, and she planned to return to her job again next year. " ... When I think of all the rewards, the friends and the experience, I think it's worth it." •

he pictures of Greg, Peter and Bobby t hinted that something was different in the Teter cafeteria. So did the piped-in tunes such as "It's a Sunshine Day." This could only mean one thing: The Brady Bunch had arrived. In honor of "The Real Live Brady Bunch" tour, the dorms held a special promotional dinner Feb. 9. In the Teter cafeteria, the staff went all out — decorating, setting out food and dressing like the Brady characters. Freshman Susan Erdmann, dressed like Cindy Brady with golden hair in pigtails, served tricolored Superstar Popsicles at Cindy's Popsicle Stand. "It's
great. I like dressing up," Erdmann said. The buffet-style dinner offered subclub sandwiches, deviled eggs, hash browns, a fruit table and Peter's favorite — pork chops and applesauce. In addition to the special food, music and decorations, residents played games and sang for tickets to "The Real Live Brady Bunch," Brady Bunch books and T-shirts. Students participated in a look-alike contest and a Brady trivia contest. Participants of the contest clinked glasses with spoons as buzzers and shouted out answers to various questions such as, "Why did Marcia fire Peter
from the ice cream shop?" (he was lazy) and "What was the name of the Bradys' dog?" (Tiger). Even though most students were infants or toddlers when the Brady Bunch aired from the late 1960s to 1974, they had a favorite episode. "My favorite episode was the one when Marcia broke her nose. The same thing happened to me, except with a softball," freshman Hope Jusko said. Even though the dorm cafeteria workers — instead of Alice — cooked dinner, and polyester pants were worn by few, some students believed the Brady Bunch dinner was still a "groovy" time. •

Off the Beaten Students choose alternatives from the typical living situation by Joan Li
enior Jeff Warrick and his wife, Cathi, relax in their campus apartment. The couple chose Evermann Apartments because of their affordability.

TR CK or those in need of a change from the typical dorm experience, the Halls of Residence offered living options to cater to students' interests. The language houses at Ashton offered a unique opportunity for students who had a previous knowledge in French, Spanish or German. Once a week, students were joined by faculty at a dinner in which they spoke a foreign language. Supervisor Ed Melchior said the language houses were an important living option to the University. "Here they can have a clear and direct cultural experience, and learning where they live is an added bonus," he said. The Foster International
Center helped expose students to cultural experiences. Events included international dinners, meetings, a picnic, a spring banquet and informal lectures given by professors. Another alternative dorm, Mason Hall, did not have the educational component, but offered residents a sense of independence. Four to six students shared a living room, bathroom and kitchen. Junior Kelly Mok enjoyed living at Mason. "I really like the convenience of being close to campus and not having to purchase a meal plan. It saves me money, and gives me more freedom." Families and married students could live in campus apartment housing. The
1,300 apartments offered a wide variety of rates and options. But unlike the other dorms, preschool and day care programs helped students with child care. "I think it's important that students who are married or have families have available to them quality, low-cost housing that is close to campus. No student should have to be turned away from the University just because he or she cannot find suitable housing," Buck Walters, assistant director of housing and assignments, said. Whether they were looking for affordability, convenience or freedom, the Halls of Residence provided students an alternative to offcampus living. •

A Chapter in Greek life on campus is more than parties and events
by Lori Harris
348 PEOPLE
here was more to the Greek system than parties, participation in Homecoming, IU Sing and Little 500. Fraternity and sorority members often lived in a condensed, sometimes claustrophobic environment and many became close friends. "I have 100 of the closest friends I'll ever make," said junior Jennifer Smiley. Smiley lived with only one other woman and they ate and slept in their room. She said it was similar to living in the dorm. Being involved in the Greek system also helped people become involved in campus activities. "Had it
not been for Delta Zeta, I would have sat on my sofa and said 'Yeah, I'll sign up for IUSF or SAB,' and never done it. Now I am almost too involved. It's a real plus," Smiley said. But the atmosphere in chapter houses isn't always conducive to studying. "It [studying] can get difficult. I pretty much have to leave the house, but that's part of it. [You have to] be responsible and keep your priorities straight," said junior Josh Heifetz of Delta Upsilon. "It can get a little noisy. There's always something to do, someone to hang out with." Another disadvantage was stereotypes. "Many people
feel that because I'm Greek, I don't want to have anything [to do] with independents ... I party with friends at Brownstone Apartments as much or more than anyone [else]," Smiley said. But Greek life was not for everyone. "I was tired of living with two other people in the same room and sleeping with 80 other guys [in a cold dorm] ... I just needed some space — some freedom and to get a taste of what it's like to live on my own ... I don't regret it," senior Chad Matchett said. Some of those involved disagreed. "It was one of the best decisions I've made," Heifetz said. •

n the cool and wet Sunday afternoon of Aug. 29, people grooved to the sounds of The Chosen Few, Uncle Tom's Band and Identity in Dunn Meadow while supporting a group devoted to helping HIV-positive patients. The Rockin' Regg-Aid 1993 Concert Festival helped raise more than $5,000 for Project FIND, a local nonprofit organization that provided confidential support to people who were HIV positive or who had loved ones who were infected. University students, faculty and staff comprised 80 percent of Project FIND's patients. The organizer of the
event, senior Kevin Braverman, got the idea for a show from a similar show that he saw in his hometown of Cleveland two summers ago. With the help of his fraternity, Zeta Beta Tau, Braverman began to organize the project in May. Braverman chose Project FIND because he wanted to find a local charity to help. He wanted the community involvement, so he sought out support from local businesses. "A lot of the small community businesses are willing to support this project, but the larger businesses really do not care," Braverman said. With a budget of over $20,000, major sponsorship was also
required. These sponsors provided the advertising for the festival. Twenty-five vendors donated money to Project FIND to be able to set up shop. Money raised through the sale of food, drinks, Tshirts and raffle items also benefited the charity. Due to the poor weather conditions, only approximately 3,500 people attended the event. Braverman hoped to bring in 10,000 people, but even with the smaller attendance, the money raised contributed to the single largest donation Project FIND had ever received. Braverman said he was proud of this event. "We made money for a good cause." •

Fire Blazes at Fraternity brothers act fast to extinguish flames caused by faulty wiring by Joan Li
ZBT he tragedy of 1984's fire at Zeta Beta Tau was almost repeated Sept. 20, but fast action by the fraternity members prevented what could have been another disaster. A decade ago, the fraternity was completely destroyed by a fire. One of its members, 19-year-old Israel David Edelman of Richmond, Ind., died. Jerry Zook of Indianapolis, who started the fire, was sentenced for 30 years for arson and another 33 years for murder. ZBT went four years without a house. When it was rebuilt in 1988, the fraternity was sure that another tragedy would not occur. The IU Police Depart-

ment and the Bloomington Fire Department were called around 1 a.m. When they arrived, members had already extinguished the flames. "We all had the fire of 1984 in the back of our minds and we didn't want it to happen again," sophomore Rick Horwitz, vice president of ZBT, said. This time was nothing like the first fire. Sophomore Justin Nelson and junior Andrew Siegel's room caught on fire because of faulty wiring in a fan. No one was seriously injured. Damage was limited to one badly damaged room. A few other rooms had water and smoke damage. The evacuation took about five minutes. ZBT

members stopped the fire from spreading by throwing buckets of water in through the window to the blaze. "Our main concern was to get everybody out of the house. The brothers went around to check rooms to make sure everyone was safe and outside," Horwitz said. Nelson thought something positive came from the fire, "It was a good example of how people are willing to help out others in need. We had neighboring sororities and fraternities offering their help and asking us if we needed a place to stay. It was great to see how the comradery and teamwork of the brothers helped prevent a tragedy from happening." •

Ties to Past and Ritual, pride and tradition are an integral part of black greek life by Colleen Williams
356 PEOPLE
FUTURE hey did not live on Jordan Avenue. Nor did they participate in pairing for Homecoming events. Although these Greeks have definite differences from their white counterparts, they did share some similarities to the other chapters. Both pride themselves on their strong relationships with their brothers or sisters and reaching out into the community, but for the historically black sororities and fraternities, their history, rituals and tradition took on another meaning. At the University of Virginia, where graduate student Eric Wilson studied as an undergraduate, the school had a primarily allwhite campus. Wilson joined Alpha Phi Alpha while attending school there. "I got
involved on the one hand to be able to bond with black males that had common interests and common goals, both academically and socially," Wilson said. "I wanted to feel brotherhood and really tight companionship with a group of people." Black fraternities and sororities originated in the early 1900s because black students felt the need to connect and build a support system on predominantly white campuses. "There is a lot of secrecy, ritual, history and tradition surrounded with our organizations which makes us very unique," Wilson said. Part of that ritual and tradition had disappeared in the past couple of years from the national organizations' decision to ban pledging.
When Wilson pledged in 1989, he had to go through a strict on-line pledging. "When I pledged, the on-line pledging process was very intense. It was a public display of the ritualized activities that you had to go through," Wilson said. During the on-line pledging process, Wilson said he and his pledge brothers marched and chanted around the campus with their heads shaved. The meaning of online was to bring "one mind, one body, one person [together], so you can bond together as one, and in doing so you cross over into the brotherhood." But because of lawsuits against many of the chapters, the tradition of on-line pledging and all other pledging activities ceased in 1990.
waying to a slow song, students danced in the Foster cafeteria. The dance was sponsored by Delta Sigma Theta sorority. Since historically black chapters often do not have "official" houses like white chapters, they held parties in their apartments or dances in the residence halls.
The process of being a member changed considerably. "Now you fill out an application, write a check and become a brother," Wilson said. The ban on pledging made Wilson feel part of the bonding experience and tradition died with the ban. The men often cannot feel the same closeness with the others in their pledge class since the process became more impersonal. But not all traditions were gone. Stepping, or blocking as it is sometimes called, was still used by black sororities and fraternities as a way to show their pride in their chapter. "It's a form of ritualized dance or movement. It is a combination of rhythmic steps and beats that you make with your hands and feet." Before a step show,
the sororities and fraternities have to practice two or three hours daily for approximately eight weeks straight. This ensured that each member could perform the steps in unison with the rest of the group. With all the practice, the men and women felt more of a closeness and bond with other members in their group. Wilson said that the step shows were "an outward expression of pride in their organization." The community service also attracted Wilson to join the fraternity. Unlike white fraternities and sororities, which may donate money to certain charities as part of their philanthropy campaign, black chapters were more directly involved in the community. Wilson said his chapter did two service

projects a month such as visiting retirement communities or picking up trash along the highway. Historically black fraternities and sororities differed from white chapters in housing as well. While white Greeks tended to circle their activities around their house, black chapters often did not have campus housing. A group of brothers or sisters would often rent an apartment together, but as Wilson said, "You won't find any official houses." Kappa Alpha Psi had its own house because the founding chapter was here, Wilson said. Often students stereotyped the historically black fraternities and sororities by thinking that they did not welcome whites or other minorities in their organiza-
tions. This was not the case. Several fraternities and sororities on campus had white members, but the numbers were small. Predominately white chapters had black members as well. "A lot of times people might think the black fraternities and sororities are elitist," Wilson said. "We don't let just anybody in. Some people think whites aren't welcome. That's a lot of baloney. For our chapter, we just look for good, qualified candidates. If you were white, Puerto Rican, yellow, it doesn't matter, but these organizations were founded as a way of bringing together a minority group on a majority campus. When you start to filter in that majority, it kind of breaks down the essence of what it's all about."

ATC2 Returns to
AMPUS vvr ith their heads held high and goals in perspective, Alpha Tau Omega returned to campus after a two-year suspension. The chapter had to leave the campus after a situation involving hazing occurred in the spring of 1992. A pledge of the fraternity became intoxicated and was admitted to Bloomington Hospital. ATC2 members said they wanted to forget the incident and concentrate on upcoming events instead of dwelling on the past incident. "Let's let go of that. It's time to let go of the past and look into the future of IU," ATQ president Joe Duch, sophomore, said. ATC2 had its charter reinstated under four stipulations, Assistant Dean of Students and Director of Student Activities Jim Gibson said. The first stipulation concerned old members of ATC2. No members from the 1992 chapter would be allowed in the chapter, which meant that all members had to be new. Also, they had to eliminate pledging from the
chapter, have a non-student house director residing in the house, and the ATC2 house had to remain drug-free. "If any of these stipulations are broken, then that is [a] definite violation and ATO will be asked to leave the campus," Gibson said. Duch said the chapter property was going to be substance-free. "We choose to enforce this policy internally within the chapter. We will not need University administrators to enforce this rule," Duch said. This internal enforcement of the drug-free policy separated ATC2 from other fraternities, he said. The members were pleased with the reopening of the chapter on campus and held great expectations for the men. "We're very happy about all this even though it's difficult to recolonize. We have many ideas for the direction in which we want ATC2 to go. There are many people who wish to be part of it. ATC2 attracts a certain type of person," sophomore Ryan Cooper said. Thirty-four new members moved into their old
house, which housed Tau Kappa Epsilon on Third Street. Duch said he was happy that the situation with the two fraternities was working out fine. Even members of TKE said the housing situation had turned out to be working well. "Things are working out better than I thought. I thought things might get crazy with two fraternities living together, but we all get along. We're no different than they are, so we all get along. I'm sure I'll make some good friends through this experience," freshman Bill Blum, a TKE member, said. TKE president Jeff Cochat agreed. "Everything is working out quite well. ATS2 is a group of really nice guys. We're both benefitting from this experience. We're all able to live in a house, and ATC2 is able to re-establish themselves on campus." ATQ did not pair for activities because of the small number of members, but they still took part in the activities by arranging a triple pairing. They hoped to fulfill their goal of having 62 members by the fall. •

pen Spring Rush provided the opportunity for women who were interested in the Greek System to get involved without having to go through the usual red tape associated with Formal Rush. Rushees could meet new friends in a relaxed atmosphere while learning about sorority life. From Jan. 22 to March 25, women could visit any of the three chapters that had opened their doors to new pledges. Sigma Sigma Sigma, Alpha Omicron Pi, Sigma Kappa and Alpha Delta Pi participated in Open Rush because they did not meet quotas during Formal Rush. Rushees found Open Rush to be more relaxing since they did not have to go
RUSH to all of the houses, but only the ones that interested them. During Formal Rush, rushees went to all the houses which cut down the time they had to mingle. During Open Rush, the sororities invited the rushees over for activities like ice skating, brunch and watching television. The Open Rush process offered some advantages like a casual atmosphere and increased time to meet the women in the house. "When everything is so formal, it's too intense," Sigma Sigma Sigma rush chairman Ashley Eiler, sophomore, said. The process provided an easier way for the rushees to decide if they wanted to go pledge a chapter. Many women who went through Open Rush
may not have been interested in the Greek system initially, but by meeting women through classes and on campus, decided to look into the process. "We get some of our best members through this," Alpha Omicron Pi Rush Chairman Cheri Kinslow, junior, said. Unfortunately, not all of the houses were open to the rushees during Open Rush. If rushees did not go through Formal Rush, they did not have a chance to see all of the chapters. Since Open Rush was not as publicized as Formal Rush, many might not have known it existed. But, "Even if they decide that sorority isn't for them, you've met a lot of nice people," Eiler said.

Sororities Shut Decrease in pledge numbers causes three sororities to close their doors
by Angie ljuboja
364 PEOPLE
DOWN Av hile some of the campus houses expanded or reestablished themselves, three sororities closed its doors from lack of new pledges. Alpha Sigma Alpha, Sigma Sigma Sigma and Sigma Kappa all discontinued their chapters. Alpha Sigma Alpha, consisting of 20 members, decided it would be in the best interest of the sorority to discontinue the charter. National representatives introduced the option at the beginning of Open Rush. Many members of ASA also supported this decision. "The members requested to close the charter due to external circumstances beyond our control. We could no longer compete on this campus," senior Jennifer Richard,
president of ALA, said. Richard said she believed the lack of members was because of the decline in women wanting to be associated with Greek society. The current members decided not to rush another sorority because "Once an ALA member, always a member," Richard said. They continued to pair with fraternities for Homecoming and participate in philanthropic and other school activities throughout the remainder of the school year. "The remaining members and other ALA alumni who live in Bloomington will all form a chapter. It won't be exactly the same, but it's a way to keep in touch with people and keep the sisterhood going," junior Jennifer McCarthy said.
The chapter, which opened in 1991, had a concentrated rush effort that brought in approximately 70 new members. ALA members resided in Ashton Hall for two years and then moved to Dunnhill Apartments. Recognized as the most spirited sorority, they won the Most Outstanding Chapter award in 1992. "I think we ended everything on a positive note. We all stuck together through the hard times. It was the best decision we could have made for our chapter," junior Cathy Albrecht said. Sigma Sigma Sigma also disbanded. The chapter could no longer compete on campus because of two unsuccessful rush years. Junior Wendy Goetzelman, LE/ president, explained
Jeremy Treister
that it was difficult to gain the interest of women considering the 33 members lived in Ashton. The National ILI would have supported the building of a house for the women, but the University refused to sell any land. She also said that within recent years, Open Rush has gained a negative connotation. Goetzelman said the number of interested woman could have been increased if Open Rush were held in the Union, providing a fair opportunity for all involved. "I also think that if Open Rush were to be reorganized and if more information could be given to women concerning sororites, then maybe more women would be interested in participating," Goetzelman said. Although
she did not blame Panhellenic for the closing of the chapter, she said they did not know how to help smaller sororities. A general decline in the number of students wanting to be in the Greek system had come about over the past few years. Goetzelman said experts claimed that students were looking for individuality, and fraternities and sororities diminished that idea. Finances could also be a cause of the minimizing numbers of Greek members. III remained active despite the difficulty they faced. They placed second in IU Sing, and won the Most Dedicated Chapter award. The new members had the choice of either being released or initiated into EIE. All of the new pledges

open his mouth while he ashed his cigarette into it. When Nash returned to his room in Teter, his girlfriend drove him to Bloomington Hospital to get treatment for the bruises. Four members, chapter adviser and law student Ozie Davis III, former student Anthony Tidwell, senior Gary Kelly and chapter president Curtis Whittaker, junior, were arrested and charged with criminal recklessness for their alleged involvement in the beating. Nash said as soon as he started pledging Feb. 13, the beatings began. The pressure to remain a pledge made him continue to take the beatings. Omega Psi Phi and other
black fraternities prohibited pledging activities in 1985. New members went through the regional organizations rather than local chapters for admission into chapters. Nash contended he was a member, although the fraternity's national headquarters said they had no record of Nash as a pledge and said there had been no recruitment since 1992. Nash said he would file a suit against the local and national headquarters of Omega Psi Phi. In the meantime, the national Omega Psi Phi chapter and campus officials suspended the local chapter until investigations into the matter could be completed. •

or many students, spring break meant partying on the beach with a beer in one hand and F suntan lotion in the other. But for seven students involved in BASIICS (Business Students Involved In Community Service), spring break was a chance to help teenagers in need of tutoring, while learning a little themselves along the way. Seven strangers began their mission Sunday of spring break with a long road trip down to Nashville, Tenn. In the morning, they arrived at the Oasis Center, a United Way-sponsored place for disadvantaged teenagers. Residents could stay for a maximum of two weeks and needed permission from a parent or guardian. After two weeks, they had to return to their homes or be admitted to a group home. "It just seemed to be good for them to be around people who did not do drugs and who did not have problems," junior Katie Culbertson said. But the residents were not the only ones learning new things. "They educated us on stuff we never had to deal with," senior Rick Pollock said. Between the two boys he tutored that week, one had been in a gang and the other had been shot twice. "It was hard for me to relate to that. I was trying to tell them that higher education is the way to succeed, but they said to me 'You have those opportunities that we really don't.' I think having us there made them realize that maybe it's more possible than what they thought." Upon arrival to the center, the group
divided. Seniors Lisa Krajewski, Pollock lock said. One student of Culbertson's and Angie Risen worked in a shelter with was in Narcotics Anonymous, she said. an educational services program talking to "He learned drugs from his parents. His residents about gangs, violence and AIDS parents smoked pot, so that's what he did. awareness. The others went to another site He would just go smoke his parent's pot, and he didn't know any differently," to tutor teens for their GEDs. Junior Kim Kortokrax worked at the Culbertson said.

Making the First MOVE
Students experience the thrill of moving off campus for the first time by Lisa Nevard
378 PEOPLE
ractically every student dreamed of being on his or her p own after graduating from high school and moving away to college. Part of that dream included living off campus in a house or apartment. Some students felt there was no better way of showing their independence than cooking for themselves and cleaning their own home. After at least one year of dorm life, many students were ready to try living off campus. Students could choose between living in an apartment or a house. For freshman Tracy Sullivan, the move off campus brought a welcome relief from dorm living as she prepared to move into a house in the middle of the Cedar Creek Apartment complex with five other girls she met in the dorms. She looked forward to the spacious rooms and the private showers. Although some of the girls would share rooms again next year, Sullivan said since she would be in a house the whole living situation would still be more private than the
dorms. The location of the house was another plus because it was right across the street from the bus stop at Assembly Hall. Students without cars had to keep in mind location when choosing a home. Even though the move off campus brought added responsibilities, Sullivan said, "[I am] looking forward to being totally on my own, cooking my own meals and not having to walk outside to go eat." Originally Sullivan and the other girls wanted to live in an apartment. Sometimes apartments offered cheaper prices and were in better condition than off-campus houses. Apartments also offered some closer locations to campus, and students could get to know their neighbors better. While Sullivan and her friends looked ahead to the fall, sophomore Amy Kaplan was getting ready to move out of the Varsity Villas Apartment complex after spending the past year there. Although she loved being on her own in an apartment, she chose to move into her sorority house for the fall.
Kaplan lived in "the Villas" with four girls with whom she was previously friends. They moved out of the dorms because they wanted their own space. Kaplan moved out of the dorms because she wanted to be more independent and have more of what she called a "life experience." Although the benefits to living off campus for students included doing whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted, there was a downside, Kaplan said. The Varsity Villas and other offcampus abodes were farther from campus than the residence halls. She also said students interacted less with other students while living off campus. Even though it took them time to adjust to the new demands of living off campus, such as cooking and cleaning, Kaplan and her roommates all agreed that it was a great experience. "As long as you have an understanding with your roommates, you'll be okay. It was a hassle at first, but when you work things out, it's great," Kaplan said. •

Gotta Pay to Throw Off-campus students face the city's new $1-per-bag trash pickup program by Jenny Eaton
382 PEOPLE
AWAY t the beginning of the school year, a Bloomington adopted a pay-for-use trash plan that made people pay for the trash they produced. Residents who utilized the city's sanitation service had to place a $1 sticker on each 32-gallon bag or can they placed at the curbside. In addition, the curbside recycling pickup increased from once to twice a month City Council member Kirk White said the city worked on the plan for almost two years. Increases in
tipping fees at the landfill site, cost in recycling programs and pressure from the public were some of the reasons the city council approved the plan, he said. But some people were not sure the council chose the right plan. A few were worried this plan would have negative effects, one being illegal dumping. Others felt old habits die hard and making these people change their disposal habits would be difficult. Recycling was another reason for the trash plan. The
sticker program gave people an incentive to recycle. "People will recycle more if they are going to have to pay," Melinda Seader, manager of the Regional Recycling Center in Bloomington, said. The center expected to see a twofold increase with the program's implementation — those who initially wanted an additional curbside pickup and those who would begin to recycle. "There has been an elevation in the rate of recycling with the [pay-per-bag] plan across the country," Seader said.
Robb Hill
The money made by the stickers helped offset the increased cost of recycling. Some said the plan would only lead to illegal dumping. People would not want to pay for the tags and would find it much easier to dump their trash in front of someone's yard, or in dumpsters. This caused one business owner to doubt the credibility of the plan. "There seems to be a big disregard for small businesses on the surface," Joe Greene, owner of Noble Romans, 1711 N. College Ave., said.
"It's a burden for people who own dumpsters. Our dumpster is located on a back alley and there is no room to fence it," he said. But some students did not feel the same way. Many saw the plan as inconvenient and impractical. "I'm not sure how much it's actually going to help," senior Mark Vogelgesang said. "Curbside recycling doesn't really help. It just reserves more space for industry," junior Adam Kruggel said. Kruggel said the City of Bloomington
should regulate waste from industry, not waste produced by private citizens because industries produce more waste than individuals. In a time when garbage and political correctness went hand in hand, awareness and effort could combine to make an impact. In Bloomington, where many students and residents had environmental concerns, the trash plan should make a difference. But will it really? "I'll just go to Taco John's and throw it in the dumpster," one senior said. •
f or students avoiding the
$1 sticker tag on all nonrecyclables, an unlocked dumpster was an open invitation for illegal dumping.

Work Hard for the
MONEY Nether it was to make a little extra spending money or enough to pay for rent, students had their reasons to take jobs in addition to their classes. Some students were on a work-study program, while others enjoyed volunteering their free time to make others' lives a little more cheerful. No matter what the reason for working, many interesting jobs were in the market for college students. The HPER was a popular place to find a job that was seldom boring. Students who were supervisors could spend their time watching healthy bodies work out on the weight machines or on the basketball court. For students not into sports, the HPER library also offered job opportunities. Like other libraries on campus, the HPER library needed to be organized, and students using the library needed to be guided in the right direction. Freshman Amy Suits, who worked in the HPER library, confessed
that her job "isn't very time consuming, and it allows me to study at the same time." Fast food restaurants offered alternative places to work, as well as delivering pizza. Pizza delivery persons could even make a little extra from tips. The College Mall also employed students during the year. At the mall, even the pickiest person could find an appealing store to work, whether it was taking care of the puppies in the pet store or assisting little shoppers at Kay-Bee Toy & Hobby store. Although making money was essential for some students, others were able to donate their free time to help those in need. Those who volunteered their time realized they could gain valuable experience at the same time. Students volunteered at Boys & Girls Club, which gave them the satisfaction of helping kids who needed a place to go after school. Senior Abby Owens said she started volunteering at Boys & Girls Club as a freshman. "It was a philan-
thropy for my pledge class, and I just kept volunteering from then on." By sharing just a few hours of free time during the week, students could feel good about themselves while helping the community. The elderly also needed a helping hand. Older people loved the company of students who could help fill their day with joy. Freshman Annie Riley began her volunteer service through a class. "We had to do 20 hours of community service, but it is such a big stress relief she said. The people who live there always say, 'Life is what you make of it,' and they are so right." Volunteering time at nursing centers like the Fontanbleu Nursing Center made some elderly men and women happy, as well as creating lasting friendships. Whether it was to earn some extra spending money or to support themselves through college, students found that working could be fun. But it was up to the individual as to how much fun a job could be. •

In Search of a Students creatively deal with the age-old problem of campus parking Neuord
390 PEOPLE
,.. ._ ,_
100 hether they were running late for classes, living too far from campus or just feeling lazy, students had their reasons for driving to classes. Once on campus, the hunt for close parking spaces began. Some students risked getting parking tickets by parking in yellow zones, while others played it safe by buying parking stickers from Parking Operations or parking in the pay lots. Still, there were some sneaky drivers who left their cars in the Union parking lot until midnight when the lot closed so they could leave without paying a parking fee. This resulted in a steady stream of headlights and taillights immediately following midnight. For those who chose to buy parking stickers, four different parking permits were allotted to drivers on campus. Faculty and staff could purchase "A" and "C" permits. "A" permits were more expensive, but with this decal in their car window, they could park in any parking zone on campus. Dorm students could purchase "D" permits, which
allowed them to park in "D" and "E" zones. Off-campus students could buy "E" permits, which allowed them to park in the Assembly Hall stadium parking lot on the north side of campus. After 5 p.m., students with "E" permits could park in "A" or "C" zones that were not 24-hour restricted zones until 7 a.m. If students did not have a permit, they were only allowed to park on campus by meter or in a pay lot. Students could renew parking permits yearly. Residence hall students were given a notice at the end of the school year asking them if they were returning next year with a car. Students who already had permits had priority in getting a new permit in the fall. "There is not enough parking on campus," freshman Valerie Ziegler said. "There is a lot of parallel parking, but there is not enough room for everyone." But prospects for more parking space were becoming a possibility. "There is a very strong possibility that in the next six to 12 months, a new parking garage will have begun to be built," Doug Porter, director of Parking
Operations, said. Porter said this new garage might be built on East Jordan Avenue, across from the Delta Gamma sorority house. It will be two stories high and have room for about 550 vehicles. Another parking plan was on the city's drawing table. The plan would include a new residential parking plan for the neighborhoods behind the Optometry School, Willkie Residence Hall and the Arbutus building on East Seventh Street. If put into effect, this plan would only allow residents of these neighborhoods to park in front of their homes. Even though they would have to obtain parking permits, they would have a guaranteed place to park. This plan would keep students and University workers who don't live in the neighborhoods from parking on the streets and walking to campus. But not all students were excited about the new zoning plan. "Parking is the pits on campus. You can't afford to buy parking stickers, and if they even start zoning by Collins, there will be even fewer places to park," sophomore Tiffany Collins said.

Cruising the IUPD officers trade their cars for mountain bikes h Chris Scozzie

ome IU Police Department officers traded in s their uniform hats for bicycle helmets as a part of a new campus-patrol program. The bike patrol was organized during the summer and began operating during the weekend of the first home football game, Sept. 4. The program improved community relations, IUPD officer Keith Cash said. "It's working at all angles." One of the goals of the bike patrol was to initiate more contact between police officers and the community. "The bike patrol gives you something to talk about," said Cash, a bike patrol member. "It's a positive way to meet the public." "We want to build rapport with the student populace and break the barrier of the car," Lt. Steven Fiscus said. He said the patrol would improve policestudent relations by making the police more noticeable. The bike patrol was responsible for illegal consumption arrests and warnings and citations issued to both bikers and drivers for various traffic violations.
"We can do anything a motor patrol can do with two exceptions," said officer Bill McClain, who headed the bike patrol. The patrol could not offer transportation or bring in prisoners. But the bike squad could patrol more quietly and respond more quickly in some cases, McClain said. Sometimes they even beat the ambulances to medical assists. IUPD Police Chief Paul Norris said he was pleased with the program's initial success. "We got a lot of positive comments from people throughout the whole community," he said. Although IUPD expressed enthusiasm for its new program, students offered mixed reactions toward the patrol. Junior LaNicerra Stetson said the patrol could improve campus safety. "It's a little less intimidating for me," Stetson said. "It enhances my safety as a woman." But freshman Dee Humbles questioned the bike patrol's effectiveness. "I think it's good in theory," Humbles said. "The more police there are and the more places they
can get to, the safer the students are in general. but it doesn't have a great impact on the crime rate." Graduate student Alvin Bhatnagar felt the bike patrol was not needed because crime was not high on campus. "I don't think it's useful. IU doesn't have that kind of [high crime] atmosphere," he said. Despite the mixed student reactions, IUPD enjoyed continued support and success because of new volunteers. Those officers who wished to take part in the bike patrol had to undergo training and attend seminars. Both McClain and Cash acquired new techniques from training sessions they had attended in Toledo, Ohio and Fort Wayne, Ind. Officers were tested for endurance and had to practice new maneuvers, which included dismounting and drawing a weapon and using the bike for takedowns. "It's greatly enhanced the motor patrol and the foot patrol," Officer McClain said. "I did more in that one day than I probably did in a month in a car."

The family that works his is about the people we rarely think about. It is about those whose work literally keeps the University running. Sometimes they're behind the scenes, but more often than not, they're right in front of our noses. They are the people we depend on to keep the buildings from falling in around us, when we lay on the clipped grass watching the bees buzz among the flowers. They're the people we don't think about when we walk through the campus at night on our way to a computer cluster to write the paper we procrastinated until the last minute, or as we make the perfect three-point shot from the middle of the classroom off the back wall and into the empty trash basket. These IU employees rarely make it into the headlines when they leave after eight years of notable service, or when they take over as a replacement for someone who does. We would like to introduce you to just a few of the people who work among the many divisions of the IU physical plant, who, through their efforts, make our life here brighter, cleaner and safer.

0g-in c, For nearly 16 years, Patty Rogers has been a staple of the Poplars building. She began working there when it was a hotel and the top floor was home to the Phi Mu sorority. She has received four awards for her work, including three outstanding performance awards. Rogers, who volunteers her age as "late 30s," currently works the 5 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. shift. She goes home, sleeps a few hours and gets up to see her 13-year-old daughter off to school. Rogers likes working at Poplars. "It's like family," she said. "If somebody's absent, we all pitch in to clean up for them." The one aspect of her job she admits she could live without is the night shift. "A day job would be great, especially because of my daughter. We're best friends. She entered me in the Mom of the Year contest in the Herald-Times. I don't think I'm a superman but I told her, 'If you think I'm great, that's what counts.'"

1 )71 Diane has been married for 16 years and has two daughters, Rachael and Regina. She has been an IU employee for the past three-and-a-half years and has worked the 5 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. night shift as a custodian at the Optometry school since October, after she was laid off at RCA during a "down sizing." She has always worked the night shift, preferring it to the 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. shift because she gets to meet people and talk to them more. She enjoys swimming after work when the weather allows and often doesn't get to bed until around 2:30 a.m. Although she swears she's not a morning person, her days often begin around 7 or 7:30 a.m., and are often filled with studying, gardening and babysitting Rachael's 10-month-old child. "I love my granddaughter. She's my world."

She anxiously awaits the birth of her next grandchild by Regina. She likes line dancing at the Country Palace by Needmore School and getting to know IU students, but feels sad when they finally graduate and move on. "It's like losing a friend." Even while working, she is still a student. Pate has been studying in the IU CTC (Custodial to Craft) program to be an electrician. With two years down, she had several to go before becoming a journeyman electrician for the Building Maintenance division of the IU Physical Plant. After a bout with breast cancer five years ago, Pate finds she see things a lot differently. "Women really need to know about breast cancer. They need to know their options. The bottom line is education, that's what it all comes down to." Her philosophy: Take what you can get and do the best you can.
The job of gatekeeper is not what it used to be. No longer does the gatekeeper control who does and does not enter. In today's terms, being gatekeeper means tending flower beds, picking up trash and mowing grass or removing snow. This is all in a day's work for Doug Dixon, 28, who for the last three-and-a-half years has been the keeper of the Sample Gates, which includes the grounds in front of Franklin Hall and the parking lots west of Indiana Avenue. He began working for IU in May, 1988, as an hourly wage-earner at the IU nursery. In October, 1991, Dixon was promoted to full-time caretaker and finally rose to be in charge of the grounds around the Sample Gates. "My job is to see that the work that needs to be done gets done. I don't necessarily have to do it all myself. We help each other take care of each area," he said. For Dixon, a man who enjoys being outdoors, the vision that has kept the campus full of trees is wonderful. "I like the way they've kept it woody, as wild as they can," said Dixon. "I'm always looking to see what needs to be done, I don't really get to enjoy it." Sometimes Dixon wishes the student and faculty would stop to enjoy the fruits of his labor. He often notes the lack of respect the students and the faculty show their surroundings and his work. "The way they look at you. The way they sometimes trash the place tells you they don't care or don't think. It's not just the students, it's the faculty, too," Dixon said. Dixon and his wife of four years, Wendy, have a 15-month-old son, Colton. Wendy and Colton bring the real beauty to Dixon's life. "Sometimes I think I should have gone to college, but I don't think I could go to school and raise a family and still be productive."

After working as an assistant manager at Service Merchandise and then on the assembly line at a General Electric plant, Lisa Hammer decided these were "jobs I'd want to do all my life." She enrolled at IVY Tech to become an electrician. Her family of six sisters and three brothers supported her in her desire to become an electrician. When talking about her large family, Hammer laughs and says, "Mom liked babies I guess." Hammer applied to apprentice at the Physical Plant as an electrician, but her first job was at the IU Printing Services. "I beat out 250 guys. I qualified with aptitude and some experience [that she gained from IVY tech]. That was 12 years ago. After four years of on the job training, four years of home study, Hammer qualified to be journeyman

electrician for IU and is the only female electrician working for the University. "I had a lot of people look at what I do because I'm a girl. It shouldn't matter. It doesn't bother me now. I was one of the first women to work with the guys. When I started, guys wouldn't work with me. Their wives wouldn't let them work with me," Hammer said. After 12 years, Hammer has become one of the guys. She says she put up with a lot from the other employees but gives it right back. "I'm friendly with the guys. Sometimes I'll give some of them a hug, but they know how far they can go. They slap each other on the back, fool around, goose each other, but they know they don't goose me," she said. She is unmarried and currently lives in her parents' trailer. Birds are her other love. "I go through 50 pounds of bird feed a month, not counting sunflower seeds and thistles."
In September, 1946, when there were nearly 5,000 students on campus, Gene Winiger started working for IU. He earned his pay of $135 a month as a carpenter in what is now Ernie Pyle Hall, home of the School of Journalism. Of that experience he recalls, "I didn't like it here ... started at the lowest job. Almost quit and joined the fire department." Like the lines in his face, this French Lick, Ind., native's feelings for Bloomington and IU have deepened over the years, especially for the athletic teams — particularly the basketball team. Forty-eight years ago, he worked in all the buildings, but because of the growth of the campus, he focuses his time in the academic buildings. These days his work
primarily consists of masonry jobs: plastering, setting tile, pouring concrete and doing specialized maintenance. Winiger has seen many changes take place at IU, but there have been two constants in his life. Since 1967 he has been the treasurer of AFSCME (the Union of American Federal, State, County and Municipal Employees) and has been to every negotiation meeting since the Union struck in 1967. The other constant in his life is the ever present toothpick. He keeps a box in his pocket at all times. When Myles Brand takes over as president in August, Winiger will have outlasted five IU presidents. He's just now starting to think about retirement. "I've had good health, been lucky," says Winiger, "If you take care of your job, you've got a job for life."

If you ever attended a football game at "The House," you probably saw Prentice Parker at some point. Technically, he works for the campus division of the Physical Plant, but he is "on loan" to the Athletic department. His domain, as he calls it, stretches from 13th to Dunn streets to 46 and the Bypass, including the Cyclotron, Sembower field and the fields behind Sigma Nu fraternity. "I take a lot of pride in this stadium and this area. I want you to leave with nothing but a good taste," he said. As with most leaders, Parker is not a solo act. "I have a super crew. We all work together," he said. The biggest part of his job is trying to anticipate the coach's needs and the weather. "When it snowed at the Wisconsin football game, we had to get the snow out of there. Had to improvise a little, we bolted plywood sheets to sweepers. Out of the blue, a couple guys asked if they could help. I said, 'sure.' After they helped clean up, they asked me if they could watch the game from the sidelines. I made sure it was OK and they ended up getting the best seats in the house." This "plain old country boy" has been married for 21 years and has one son and one daughter. When not taking care of the athletic fields on campus, Parker can be found riding the backroads of Monroe County on his Harley Davidson. "Riding the bike," he says, "it's an outlet. You're in another world." As a member of the Harley Davidson Club, he sometimes gets the opportunity to do charity work for kids. He has a philosophy about kids, college age or not. "I've yet to find a bad kid. Met a few that are ornery, but in the end, they are all great kids."

SNAPSHOTS Photography is an interpretation of subject, light, mood, feeling and place — an interpretation that manifests itself in a myriad of statements about both the subject matter and the photographer. To photograph is to interpret life. It is not an exercise of simple observation, wherein it only records events and people for solely informational purposes. A photograph can and should breathe the same air that gives life to the subject. The photographs of the Snapshots section are a small collection of works that deal with Bloomington life. In one year, President Thomas Ehrlich rode by one final time in the Homecoming parade, class registration converted to a computer format and smoking was banned from most campus buildings. However, this section does not center on news events alone. Instead, it provides a more personal view of student and faculty life. •

INDEX Individuals and groups who entered the campus through the Sample Gates created an impact on the University. Since students bring with them certain beliefs, the University has shown an increased effort in promoting diversity. In an effort to bridge some cultural gaps and raise money for renovation of their chapter house, Kappa Alpha Psi welcomed all to a step show. While Greek organizations allowed some to find their niche, others found them through joining campus groups. One group, CALL, strove to promote their views by displaying graphic signs protesting abortion that offended some. Events that occurred both in and out of the gates affected the lives of many. Few people who visited the AIDS Quilt April 7-9 will be able to forget their feelings while viewing the quilt. Few will be able to forget the impact certain events had on their lives as students. Senior Terra Hoskins staked her claim to fame when she appeared in John Mellencamp's "When Jesus Left Birmingham" video for a few seconds. In addition to serving as a catalog of those pictured, the index contains a newsline that serves as a reminder of the events that touched our lives and shaped our ideas, recapping some of the news on local, state and national levels.

Chris Albert, Managing Editor o one ever said it would be easy. I was known as the "phantom" roomN mate because I was never home. In fact, there were times I didn't see my roommates for one or two weeks. But the year went without too many sleepless nights, although the string of 60 hours straight without sleep is something I will never forget. The year went smoothly (minus the bat incident), until the end, of course, when the hard drive crashed a week and a half before our final deadline. But we all made it through. We all made sacrifices. Thanks to those who helped me make it through. I could have never done this without you: Robb, Sam, Chago, Tiffany, Lyle and Jeremy: Thanks for putting up with me during the photo edits, and allowing me to shoot a couple of games. Kim Cook: My "official" consultant. Thanks for listening. Dan Diercks: Thanks for first interesting me in journalism. Dr. Dave: Well, it all started in Denver, and since then we have been across the country together. Thanks for all your help and confidence that I could make it. I have one final word: Dallas. Cathy Wolfe: Thanks for helping to ease all my worries and troubles throughout the year. You helped me keep on track and gave me confidence that I could make it through. Mom and Dad: I know I wasn't the model kid during the last year. (I tended to forget to mail cards and became the phantom child who never ventured home.) Also, thanks for the financial support and not getting mad when I told you it would take me more than four years to get out of here. Love you. Wanda: I'll never forget the porch talks
Rosie Piga, Academics at 3 a.m. Thanks for always listening and doing a great job with the section from hell. You made it through. Rosie: Thanks for coming through on time on every deadline and doing a great job. Good luck next year with Chris. You both will do a great job. Chris: You are probably the most talented managing editor this place has ever seen. Good luck next year as editor with Rosie. Thanks for the backrubs, although they were few and far between. All my roommates and friends: Yes, I was the forever phantom that occasionally stopped in to see you. I'm sorry. Thanks for understanding that the hook always had to come first, especially during deadline. Also, thanks for listening to me complain whenever things didn't go perfectly. Michelle: You certainly surprised me on how well you adapted and made the transformation from roommate to section editor
midway through the year. Thanks for all your help. Heather: Thanks for never making me worry about the financial side. That helped me tremendously and allowed me to concentrate solely on the editorial side. Robyn Holtzman: You really came through for me in the end — especially at crunch time. I really could not have met the last deadline without all your help. After all, who else could write a profile in one night? Also, special thanks to all the writers who remained on staff throughout the year: Meredith Bledsoe, Natalie Buck, Heather Castle, Karen Dayton, Colleen Fearrin, Rose Gallager, Marti Garrett, Matt Hahn, Heidi Kachmann, Joan Li, Angie Ljuboja, Lisa Nevard, Wendy Potasnik, Christine Poyser, Christopher Rickett, Denise Rothbardt, Christa Voliva. Thanks to all those who helped — lh.

THROUGH THE GATES s the graduating seniors looked back on their college careers, a bittersweet feeling overwhelmed some of them. Not only did many toast their accomplishment with a smuggled but celebratory champagne bottle, but they also bid farewell to President Thomas Ehrlich as he passed through the gates one final time to take a temporary teaching position at Duke University. Replacing the bow-tie-clad Ehrlich was Myles Brand. The incoming president came to Indiana from the University of Oregon where he was university president. Brand prided himself on his open line of communication with the student body. From answering every email students sent him to holding a "President for a Day" raffle, Brand worked to close the gap between the students and the administration. Many students felt this communication gap when the administrators only canceled classes for half a day when temperatures plunged below minus-30 degrees in January. The winter was one of Bloomington's coldest. But, the bad times did not stop with the arctic conditions. Students had other hardships they overcame during the year. Three sororities closed their doors because of low membership numbers. Sigma Sigma Sigma, Sigma Kappa and Alpha Sigma Alpha could no longer sustain chapters because it was difficult

+THROUGH THE GATES for the sororities to compete with the larger chapters. The fraternities also had their share of scrapes and bruises. Fires singed Zeta Beta Tau's house causing smoke damage to the building. A hazing incident involving Omega Psi Phi caused the chapter to be banished from the University by its national chapter when active members allegedly beat a pledge. But Kappa Alpha Psi sidestepped all unpleasantries by hosting a step show to raise money to renovate their house. In an effort to erase racial lines, the fraternity opened its door to campus. But not all students will cherish or remember these events. The years will erase despairing moments as students are overcome with nostalgia when they remember the first sunny day in Dunn Meadow and the first sunny men's Little 500 race in five years, or the first snowball fight of the winter. Some students also ventured into the cold to see the premiere of the movie "Blue Chips," featuring a few IU players and Coach Bob Knight. These events combined with the voices of friends will become whispers in the back of minds, as will the fond memories of late-night drinking binges and pulling all-nighters together. As students leave the University's safe haven, these will be the aspects of college life that they will cherish as they travel beyond the University's gates to pursue their dreams.
