t was a quote from the New York Times’ obituary of Alfred Kinsey that made Dr. William Yarber stop and think. “Whatever may have been the reaction to his findings, the fact remains that he was first, last and always a scientist,” he said, pausing after he read this line of the late researcher's obituary on the wall of Morrison Hall. Yarber is a professor of applied health science and senior research fellow at the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction, Though the Kinsey In-

stitute turned 70 in April of this year, the celebration was this past Saturday. A new historical exhibition, detailing the life of institute founder and namesake Kinsey through a series of panels as part of the celebration, opened to the public. Yarber said Kinsey's attitude toward his research was one of his merits. “Now that was a scientist. A scientist doesn’t judge. We have plenty of people in our society who do that," he said. In addition to the exhibit, the institute organized a book signing of the recently published IU Press title, “The Kinsey Institute: The First Seventy Years,” as re-

MEN’S SOCCER

IU men’s soccer earns first Big Ten victory of the season 2-0 From IDS reports

Coming off the heels of two ties against ranked Big Ten Conference opponents, Maryland and Michigan, the No. 1 Hoosiers traveled to Evanston, Illinois, to play their first Big Ten road game. IU got on the score sheet early in the game after junior attacker Cory Thomas sent a ball in to junior midfielder Trevor Swartz, whose shot was saved. The rebound fell to freshman attacker Mason Toye, who buried it from five yards out. It was Toye’s third goal of

the season, tying junior defender Andrew Gutman for the team lead. Against Michigan, the Hoosiers scored first, but they failed to put the Wolverines away for the rest of the game. Things were different on Sunday afternoon, and IU built on its lead in the second half. Gutman crossed a ball into the 16-yard box, and after the Wildcat defense failed to clear it, Thomas finished in front of goal to extend the Hoosiers’ lead. Thomas’ goal was his first of the season, and he became the eighth Hoosier to score this season. IU dominated possession throughout the match and completed many more pass-

es than it did during its last game against Michigan. The Hoosiers outshot Northwestern 17-8 and had four more shots on goal, as well. The Hoosiers now stand at 5-0-2 overall and 1-0-2 in Big Ten play. They will be back in action on Friday against Rutgers at Bill Armstrong Stadium. Michael Ramirez BOBBY GODDIN | IDS

Redshirt junior midfielder Cory Thomas was hit in the face as he drove to the goal against San Francisco at Bill Armstrong Stadium Sept. 1. Thomas scored his first goal of the season on Sunday as IU defeated Northwestern for its first Big Ten win of the season.
