Swinging with the rock-a-billy sounds of the Swing Rays, students dance on top of the Jordan Ave. Parking Garage during a welcome back block party. Located in the heart of southern Indiana amid rolling hills and legendary stone quarries, Indiana University easily doubled the size of Bloomington. With an international student body, the University helped support the small town with its desire for culture, cuisine and entertainment. Our differences didn't stop with our nationalities, but blossomed through our eclectic tastes in music and vastly different lifestyles. Photo by Matt Stone.

I )iversity — buzzword of the '90s. Although an overused phrase, ourdiversity became the highlight and driving point in most of our lives during two very intense semesters. In a year of turmoil, Indiana University students took the meaning of the word and ran the town and university for a few laps. Students came to this small town in southern Indiana from both coasts and border countries, and more than 120 countries around the world. We spoke English, Spanish, German, Mandarin, French and all kinds of American, Bloomington and college slang. Leaving behind big cities, small towns and villages, we came to this campus for similar reasons. And through chasing our dreams and careers, we found a little bit of ourselves in the wealth of difference around us. Through our variety, we discovered common concerns and issues. Volunteering for a variety of causes, marching for change and striving to make a difference, we proved an extremely diverse student population could come together despite our differences. While we didn't agree on everything, we began to acknowledge and accept the parts of us that made us individuals. About 60 students marched with Latinos from across the country and South America for recognition as a group worth watching. On that same warm weekend in October, another 20 students volunteered during the largest display of the AIDS Memorial Quilt. The Student Coalition and about 400 marchers fought seven key changes including the hire of more female and minority faculty members, and for an Asian student center and a Latino studies department. More than just our skin tones, our differences helped define who, collectively, we were. We studied endless combinations of disciplines and helped the University attain high rankings in national polls. We supported an amazing local music scene which entertained us nightly in the local clubs and during outdoor shows in Dunn Meadow. Whether funk, ska or even rockabilly, the bands lightened the load of the average 15 credit hour-taking student. Through all our differences and similarities, we challenged ourselves and the University to improve our educational journey. We met administration in the middle for some of our demands, but we also knew when we must keep pushing.

Campus gets

l< over

Renovations affect all areas of Universi -y or months, loud whirs, screeches and rumbles of construction equipment echoed across campus as IU changed some of its framework. Traffic jams and bulldozers plodding through campus were common nuisances in the summer, but when students returned to classes in September, most of the streets were clear and parts of campus had a fresh face. Most of the construction noise came from 10th Street, starting just west of the Main Library and ending at Ashton Quad. The project focused on replacing deteriorated steam pipes from the 1950s found in the underground tunnel system. Tenth Street, one of the busiest streets on campus, turned into a one-lane, one-way street causing slower traffic and delays for students and Bloomington residents. Junior Jason Bryan delivered furniture during the summer and said construction slowed everything down. "I was late for every delivery and I had a hard time getting places. It was just a big pain," he said. However, the construction did not cause inconveniences for all students. Senior Laurence Nibur said the construction only affected him because he had to walk around the work sites to get to the library. Nibur worked as a summer IU tour guide. He said the construction did not alter tours, though some parents questioned why so much was under way at the same time. "I told them that most of the construction on campus is done during the summer, since that's when there are the least amount of students here," he said. Crews completed the $2.5 million 10th Street job two weeks after students started to arrive for the fall semester. The reduction to one lane of this main thoroughfare caused chaos for the thousands who moved back into town. The blocked roads caused problems for students moving into Wright, Teter, Ashton and Eigenmann. Senior Phil Larson, a Resident Assistant for Ashton-Mason said moving day made the stressful situation worse. "They got most of it done by the time the students got back, but the 10th Street lot wasn't open yet," Larson said. "The Ashton lots were all full and there was nowhere to park."

Campus construction began before the mercury even started to rise. As summer heated up, so did the renovation of the IU Outdoor Pool, located at the corner of Fee Lane and 17th Street. Built in 1967, the pool had never been remodeled. The $1.3 million project replaced electrical systems, underwater lighting and the concrete pool deck. The original pool bottom consisted of nothing more than painted concrete. Its public opening in July revealed new lining systems in all three pools to make them look nicer. New guard chairs around the pools, along with slip-resistant flooring put the finishing touches on the project. A heating system was also added for cool days. "We took good care of it. People just loved it and made comments on how clean it was," said Monica Chapin who worked at the pool this summer. Construction continued through campus with additions and

renovations on several academic buildings. Completion of the new four-story School of Music library, recital hall. recording studios, extra classroom space and new fountain brought additional changes. "The project brings the School of Music buildings into a cluster within feet of each other. It's one more step to bringing the campus together," said Ray Casati, a consultant for the University Architects. Offices, seminar rooms, a computer cluster and the Latin American Music Center were features in the new Music Library. And both the Auer and Ford Recital Halls showed off state-of-the-art recording facilities. "It's probably the most complete music facility in the country that is attached to a school of music," said music professor and Jazz Department Chairperson David Baker. "My excitement knows no bounds."

Other expansions occurring on campus included a redesign of the Alumni Building and a three-story addition to the telecommunications building. This addition, with projected completion in the summer of 1997, included classrooms, faculty offices and more auditorium space. Meanwhile, on the opposite side of campus, the renovation of parking lots put the finishing touches on the campus' make-over. Landscaping the Von Lee parking lot on Indiana and Kirkwood Avenues cost drivers 90 parking spaces. Different construction phases redistributed the lost spots to other lots. The renovating and redesigning caused some inconvenience, but resulted in a positive outcome. "It was the busiest summer in the history ofIU," Terry Clapacs, Vice President of Administration said. "It was a very ambitious and demanding program, but it was completed on time, while keeping with the very high aesthetic standards of TU."

Dalai Lama visits Spiritual eacer promotes good will uddhist chant, in a distinctive Tibetan language, wafted through the morning air, as about 200 spectators B gathered outside Bloomington's Tibetan Culture Center. Leaving their cars lining the narrow rural road, they came to hear wisdom from an aging Tenzin Gyatso, the acknowledged 14th incarnation of the Dalai Lama. As the spectators and his entourage listened, the Dalai Lama taught the traditional "SemKye," or Aspirational Bodhicitta, which emphasized the uselessness of hate and anger. The audience knelt and prayed using an English translation sheet. Then came a traditional sign of Buddhist good will — a scarf exchange with the Dalai Lama's older brother, Tibetan Cultural Center president and founder Thubten Norbu. Finally, His Holiness blessed the cornerstone for the new Tsong Kha Sanctuary, an international Buddhist temple and monks' residence to be built on the grounds of the TCC. Bloomington played host to His Holiness from July 26-28, and in addition to the cornerstone blessing, His Holiness gave a free public lecture at the IU Auditorium to a capacity crowd. IU President Myles Brand introduced His Holiness, who waved to friends, eliciting laughs from the audience. His talk was titled "Overcoming Differences," and he called the "us-versus-them" approach to national identity outdated. "We must treat the world as a whole body," he said. "We are behind on this concept, and this is why we suffer. The whole concept of war is old-fashioned." The Dalai Lama said the next century must be more peaceful than the last. He said unilateral demilitarization is crucial to the process of peaceful conflict resolution. "When men look back, they will say the 20th century was a century of bloodshed," he said. "The next century should be a century of dialogue." The Dalai Lama's search for peace has been a long one. In 1949, China invaded Tibet. During their 50-year occupation, the Chinese systematically killed 1.2 million Tibetans and destroyed the Tibetan culture. After 10 years of negotiation with thenleader Mao Tse Tung, the Dalai Lama was forced to flee for his life over the Himalayas on horseback. Exiled to India, the Dalai Lama has been a voice for peace in Tibet and around the world. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989. While addressing many of the political issues surrounding the struggle to free his country, the Dalai Lama said he did not favor a U.S economic boycott of China. "China must be brought into the mainstream of world democracy," the Dalai Lama said. "To condemn China is morally wrong; they have every right to prosperity. I don't want

mpus

by Andrew Moulton a confrontational relationship between the U.S. and China." Although the Dalai Lama said he stood firm on the idea of Tibet being an independent nation, he said the main threat to Tibet was cultural rather than political. "The urgent thing is to preserve Tibetan Buddhist Culture," he said. "It can provide peace of mind to millions of young Chinese, but it is facing the threat of dying out."

When men look back, they will say the 20th century was a century of bloodshed. The next century should be a century of dialogue. Dalai La ma Denver, Colorado native Dawn Engle cofounded PeaceJam, a non-profit foundation that brought high school students and Nobel Peace Prize winners together. She planned and ran a conference for Indiana students scheduled around the Dalai Lama's visit. Engle said the leader has maintained his sincerity even with the adoration of Hollywood. Film stars Richard Gere and Steven Seagal, who converted to Buddhism, accompanied the Dalai Lama to Bloomington on separate occasions — Gere in 1987 and Seagal on this trip in 1996. "When I first met him (the Dalai Lama) I really expected him to be fake, that his good humor and understanding would be a put on," Engle said. "He really is a very warm, caring leader, and I think the students can learn a lot about conflict resolution from him." Brand concurred. "War has not disappeared from our planet," Brand said. "Faced with such a world, we need a leader who can guide us to a resolution of our problems with non-violence." Ll

Cards give students access \ew IDs cato 3U t stuc ents into 21st century rustration mounted as the line slowly snaked around the doorway into Willkie cafeteria. Waiting, students read F books, complained to their friends and spread out on the floor until their turn came. For almost two hours, they waited to get their hands on the University's newest technological advancement — the all-improved student ID. Replacing the laminated cards of the past, this ID resembled a credit card with digitized photos. Workers shot students with electronic cameras and immediately saved their images into the Ill database. Minutes later, the card was done. This piece of plastic, dubbed the "Campus Access Card," signaled a new era for students as the card could be used as a meal ticket, copy card, National Bank of Detroit debit bank card and AT&T calling card. And even though the II) ushered students into the 21st century, the transition wasn't an easy one. Seniors who managed to hold onto their original IDs from freshman year turned sentimental and didn't want to give the old, crumpled pieces of plastic up — upset over losing a part of their ILI experience. ..It was a pain in the ass. I didn't see the point in getting new IDs — the old ones worked fine," said senior Heather Hughes. "I liked the fact that the picture on the old one was taken before my freshman year. I wanted to keep my old Ill because it was a relic, a memento of my college experience." In order to keep her old ID, Hughes would have had to pay $15. Instead, the ID joined hundreds of other peeling plastic faces heaped in a cardboard box. The campus-wide re-carding began in the middle of August and by the end of October, Card Services issued 31,500 IDs out of a potential 36,000 students. Mark Kuchefski, director of card services, called the new program a success. "The new Campus Access Card provides a foundation for the development of many service access methods that will increase convenience and security," he said. In addition to the services from NBD and AT&T, the card gave improved access to the new meal plans. Instead of the former "one swipe per-card per-meal," students used their card as many times as they wanted and often fed their friends. The card also served as a debit card in the dorm food courts. This new system benefited students with hectic schedules who could not make regular dinner hours. "You can use the points at the food courts which are open till midnight," said Ramone Demming, Ashton-Mason Resident Assistant. "In case you don't have cash with you, you can just use your ID." Kuchefski said the magnetic-stripped cards would be replaced over the next few years. In order to change with advancing technology, card services planned to replace the cards with computer-based models in the future.

Rape Awareness 27

profile By Elizabeth DeLion r. Teri Hall leaned back in her chair after a long week of meeting with student leaders from the D greek system, but the weekend did not offer her time off. Hall spent her weekend patrolling fraternities with members of Student Activities staff, graduate students and Dean McKaig or Dean Gibson, looking for signs of a party. These patrols occured during major party weeks such as Little 500, but also when rumors of parties filtered into her office. Her goal was to monitor the safety of the functions. Hall spent her first year as Student Activities Assistant Director challenging the leaders of the campus to improve their social functions. She also brainstormed and collaborated with students from the four greek governing councils and other representatives on how to make the risk management policies more effective. One of Hall's main goals was making fraternity social functions safer. She worked with the chapter presidents of the 57 chapters in the greek system hoping to make a social pact ensuring safety. With a history of underage drinking and accidents, it was necessary to construct an agreement among chapters pledging their commitment to regulate parties. Traditionally, a chapter president took the blame if something went wrong at a party. Hall challenged students to take responsibility for their own actions. "Our goal is to make functions safe. This includes guest lists and having executive members work the door at social functions," said Hall. "We want to get to a place where chapter presidents are not out on a limb by themselves." Hall said irresponsible use of alcohol resulted in chapter probation and other problems for greeks. She pointed out, however, that alcohol is actually permitted on campus if the Dean of Students approved it. She maintained the ideal would be to have a third party vendor come into fraternity and sorority parties and serve at social functions. Pi Kappa Phi president Joe Malangoni believed the

foundations of the social pact were already in place, but the written guidelines would help regulate the rules. He said working with Hall and the other chapter presidents enabled the greek system to come up with ways to improve social functions, but he disagreed with the idea of a potential third party vendor. "It would be difficult to implement and I don't think it would make parties any better," said Malangoni. Hall began her work with the greek system during her undergraduate years at Southern Illinois University where she belonged to Delta Zeta sorority. During her sophomore year, she served as the Panhellenic president and discovered her future would be on a college campus. She realized she never wanted to be far away from students. Hall completed her doctorate at IU and worked as a judicial board advisor in 1993-1995. Hall's position was created this year to better facilitate the needs of students. Working with student leaders was Hall's favorite part of being involved with student activities. She enjoyed helping leadership grow, continued to question the status quo and focused on how to better serve the governing greek councils. "It takes a lot of leadership in the greek system to say no," she said. "I work with a group of leaders who have the responsibility to be unpopular. They know what they are supposed to be doing and do it." Junior Karen Childress, Panhellnic president, worked closely with Hall and enjoyed her input. Childress said many of the policies would take time to implement, but with these initial baby steps and continued open arms, she believed the ideas would be accepted. "Dr. Hall is an exciting and overzealous person to work with. She is enthusiastic and willing to work with others," she said. "She is a great resource for the greek system, but is well rounded and works with other organizations as well."

"We put in a lot of time making our routine just right," said sophomore Bob Marshall, Lambda Chi Alpha member. "We had a lot of fun as a pair and we deserved the victory." The Homecoming parade, held the day before the game, drew a large crowd of students and alumni. People lined the streets to cheer, wave and yell at the participants.

While student groups sponsored several spirit boosters and events like the parade and pep rally, not all of the fans returned to cheer on the Hoosiers. Some alumni came back to visit for other reasons. One tradition alumni particularly enjoyed was visiting Nick's English Hut. Randy Kaltenmark, who graduated in 1996 described the bar as a "dive with class." University memorabilia hung from every nook and cranny of the dark bar in the heart of the action on Kirkwood Ave. It was a haven for alumni, and current students alike, who stopped in to sit in the deep, hard-wood benched booths and sip pints of beer from old mason jars. Homecoming often attracted people who were not necessarily returning home to watch the Cream and Crimson, but who wanted to visit the old college hangouts and meet up with pals. "The football team doesn't hold my interest, we like to come back to have beer and reminisce," Kaltenmark said. With the waning success of the football program and losing seasons, these same alumni visiting Nick's made their way to Bloomington for more than the football game. "I just come to tailgate and to party with all of my old college buddies that I haven't seen in a long time," said alumni Susan Skirvin. "I'm not really all that interested in football which I guess is a good thing. It's just the atmosphere and the feeling that I'm a college student again that makes me excited."

Hasler wasn't the only person to shed tears. Sniffles and sobs rang throughout the candlelit crowd as freshman David Johnson put his arms around her and pulled her close. Within a few moments, all the students at the AIDS Quilt candlelight vigil consoled one another. For three days, a group of IU students acted as volunteers at the AIDS Memorial Quilt in Washington, D.C.

"It's terrifying that the disease progressed so far, that there are so many, that we need this," he said. "It's kind of overwhelming — I guess that's the best word." As volunteers, the students participated in Friday morning's opening ceremonies where they helped unfold the Quilt. In the chilly, empty mall, students stood huddled together and waited for the ceremonies to begin. They took their shoes off and laid the panels out for display. Despite the wet feet and numbed hands, the students recalled the opening as a positive experience. "After the opening ceremonies, we all held hands all the way from the Capitol to the (Washington) Monument, and the Quilt was completely cleared. There was nobody on the Quilt, nobody at all," said freshman Marie Luken. "It was the only time you could see the whole thing. Then we had a moment of silence," she said. "That's when the bells started to toll. It was just so perfect. It gave me the biggest set of shivers I've ever experienced." Vice President Al Gore and his wife began reading the list of AIDS victims during opening ceremonies. Each day, volunteers, family member and friends read from the list of more than 70,000 names. The readings added to the somber atmosphere as people from around the country and world viewed the personal epitaphs of the panels. Some panels simply consisted of words, more intricate panels contained personal effects such as clothing, stuffed animals, photographs and jewelry. Each Quilt panel represented at least one person.

The number of visitors reached nearly one million during the three-day display; hushed whispers, muffled sobs and the echoing names made the few audible sounds. Most people spoke very little and treated the display more like a funeral. Volunteers placed a box of tissue at the corner of each section for those who cried. "One of the things that strikes me as I walk around is how helpful everyone wants to be, and how sensitive folks seem to be to each other — realizing what a powerful experience it is for many people," said Doug Bauder, coordinator of IU's gay, lesbian and bisexual student support services. "There's just a sense of reverence about this place, and about the people who are interacting with each other here, that's really very nice," he said while viewing the display. The Quilt stemmed from West Lafayette native Cleve Jones who co-founded the Names Foundation Project in 1987. He led a march in San Francisco in memory of city residents who died from the disease. Jones asked marchers to write their loved ones' names on a piece of cardboard and they hung them on the San Francisco Federal Building. Resembling a patchwork quilt, the idea of the present-day Quilt was born. While acting as volunteers, one of the IU students gathering signatures for a petition for AIDS funding, graduate student Bruno Isidro accidentally found an important person to sign the letter. Marsha Scott Smith, counsel to the President on AIDS and GLB issues, signed the petition. nce he realized who she was, he asked her if she could ask the President to sign. Smith answered with an enigmatic, "Maybe you can ask him yourself." "We never expected something like that to happen and it happened to us," Isidro said. For 10 years, the Names Foundation Project invited the President to visit the Quilt. For 10 years, Presidents Ronald Reagan and George Bush ignored the invitation. President Bill Clinton not only visited the display, but he and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton acted as the National Honorary Host Committee co-chairs.

"I stand here tonight as an American, a gay man and a person living with HIV," Jones said at the candlelight ceremony. "And I am very happy to finally have a reason to say the four words I have longed to say for so many years. 'Thank you, Mr. President' " The IU students witnessed the President's visit to the Quilt. A large square was sectioned off and the President and First Lady walked around it and stared at the panels. While being part of the more than 12,000 volunteers from across the country, the students were able to closely examine some of the panels. What they found disturbed them. Panels expressed the pain and despair of friends and families who lost

loved ones. The panels were not only designed to have a personal meaning for loved ones, but also served as a reminder that victims of AIDS are people. Johnson viewed one panel that simply said, "Mom,I miss you. It hurts so much to know you suffered in silence." Johnson, from the Washington area,decided to visit home after reading the panel. "I went home that night to see my family," he said. "You leave the Quilt feeling like you've accomplished something, but almost have a feeling of coldness. You're kind of numb because this is so terrible. But the best thing to do is to go on and remember and to make people aware." continued

Seeing panels dedicated to children, priests, mothers and fathers showed viewers, as well as the students, that AIDS was not just a gay disease. "The people here are little kids and old people," freshman Amie Head said. "There was a five-month-old baby and there was a 96-year-old lady. "There was one patch in particular that just had big red lips and said, 'Listen Mr. President, women get AIDS, too,' " she said. "I think that's incredible because it shows what types of stereotypes we have about it. It's not only a white, homosexual disease. Anybody can get it." Saturday night, members of the IU group gathered at the edge of the Quilt waiting for the start of the AIDS Candlelight March. The vigil began on the steps of the Capitol, but the group wanted to line-up toward the front of the procession. After two days of working in an emotional atmosphere, they relaxed and tried to relieve some tension before marching to the Lincoln Memorial. Marchers began to walk toward the street corner and the IU group followed. Quilt officials formed a human fence around a small group of people and forced the crowd back on the sidewalk. The protected group included actors and speakers. As a limo pulled up, the students saw Elizabeth Taylor had arrived. Star crazed and wanting pictures, they climbed on each others' shoulders trying to get a glimpse of someone famous. "I saw the back of her head, I saw the back of her head," junior Sharlene Toney said. The street soon turned into a river of small flames as the candlelight vigil moved toward the Reflecting Pool. Marchers sang, cheered and waved to the people standing on the sidewalks. A wave began as people raised their candles into the air, looking back toward the Capitol, the ripple of candles continued for miles. As the procession passed anti-gay rights protesters on the side of the street, a soft chant of "Shame, shame, shame" rose from the crowd of marchers. The IU students interlocked their arms and spoke softly to each other as they walked the route. Marchers sang "Amazing Grace" and "This Little Light of Mine." After reaching the Lincoln Memorial, the crowd awed at the sea of light before them. The Pool glittered with thousands of candles of people who had already arrived. Standing about two city blocks away from the temporary stage, students listened to the different speakers and became teary-eyed when country music singer Kathy Mattea sang "Seeds in God's Hands." They held each other when people told their stories of being "A Face of AIDS." When the vigil ended, the IU students were the last people to leave the Reflecting Pool. Forming a group huddle, with their heads bowed in the complete darkness, they began to talk about everything they had gone through. With reluctance, the group finally broke free of each other, raising their arms into an "I" then pulled apart to finish off the IU cheer. "I thought this was going to be hard because usually I'm not very outgoing," freshman Kara Reagan said. "But it's been fun and these are really great people."

Latino March on

Capital

Students join 30,000 protesters in show of racia uni7 e are going to start this historic day by reminding America, a nation of immigrants like all of us, W that we are Americans because we believe in the Constitution and (the) Bill of Rights," Jose Gutierrez said. "And that means equality and justice in the law for everyone, not just some people." With that, Gutierrez, chief coordinator for "La Marcha," introduced the Choir of the Americas and the children sang the national anthem in Spanish, then in English. The crowd erupted in loud cheers. For the first time in history, Hispanics from across the country gathered in Washington, D.C. to voice their concerns as a single community. More than 40 IU students traveled the 10 hours by van and car to witness and participate in the event. "I'm really happy to see everyone unite. I am really proud," senior Dawn Ferrer said. "I hope we can finally get recognized and be treated equally with everyone else. This is a time for Hispanics to make a difference." Gutierrez turned the stage over to Eleanor Holmes Norton, representative of the District of Columbia. She thanked the crowd for participating in the march and "talking hack" to the American government. "We thank you for talking hack to a minimum wage that is

so minimum, you can't support your family no matter how hard you work," she said. "So let us this glorious day that God has sent us, talk back and then turn back all of this injustice." La Marcha, sponsored by a socio-political coalition called Coordinadora '96, began as an underground movement. As word spread, so did the importance of attending and representing the local Latino community. "There are so many things we need to fight for: equality at work, in school and we needed to be here representing IU," said senior Hernan Diaz, vice president of Latinos Unidos. The Oct. 12 march began with a rally in Meridian Hill Park, a Hispanic residential neighborhood. Bands played and people from across the country danced and mingled while awaiting the arrival of the last few big groups of people. The march began an hour behind schedule to wait for these groups to make their way to the park. Speakers announced the busses were en route for the park and organizers wanted to wait for them, the crowd cheered and continued mingling. Police watched from the perimeter of the park as they did for every march, but peacefulness proved the officers unnecessary. In fact, the rally was so calm that several marchers carried trash bags and picked up the discarded flyers, newspapers and cans as the crowd left the park and headed

"It's like you don't see this very often, so there is a certain passion — a certain kind of energy that is just amazing and it just gets in your blood. We're here because we want to celebrate who we are." The estimated 30,000 marchers filed shoulder-to-shoulder onto 16th Street, and marched to the Ellipse in front of the White House. They carried banners crying out against the discrimination against Hispanics and the recent changes made in immigration laws. Flags of several nations were high and signs read "Clinton: Aren't we all immigrants?," "I'm a human being, not an alien" and "The house is brown today."

There are so many things we need to fight for: equality at work, in school and we needed to be here representing IU. Hernan Diaz In addition to the banners and signs, marchers chanted their discontent with the government's treatment of Hispanics. "We're all here now and we know that it's a presidential year and this is a time to be loud and we need to voice our opinions," senior Vanessa Villarreal said. "Basically, tell the government that we're not going to tolerate any more abuse." People lined the streets and cheered as the marchers passed through the residential neighborhoods and business district en route for the rally in front of the White House. Zapatista rebels, students, migrant workers and families from all over the United States and several other countries rallied for respect and acknowledgement long overdue.

Making their presence known, seniors Vanessa Villarreal and Lisa Williams shout their discontent with the government. Almost 30,000 people from around the country and world formed the first-ever Latino March on Washington, D.C. to show unity and to protest recent changes in immigration laws.

Dancin' the night

away

Stuc ents c ance 36 hours for Children's Miracle \etwork ruptions of music resonated across a desolate campus inviting students to visit what appeared to be a campusE wide party. The HPER Wildermuth gym reverberated with the music of local bands, and foozeball tables and a karaoke machine lined the walls. The party scene was complete with free food. This "party" was actually the Sixth Annual IU Dance Marathon, a yearly event raising money for Riley Children's Hospital. A success, the marathon surpassed the 1995 marathon by $12,000 — raising the 1996 total to $152,760. Although most of the emphasis was placed on the 36-hour non-stop dancing, much preparation was put into the marathon beforehand; 10 months to be exact. Selection of the Dance Marathon Council was complete nearly a year before the actual event. Interested candidates interviewed with the members of the old council. For an entire month, the old council trained the Executive Dance Marathon Council, teaching them how to operate the marathon. The final council consisted of a president, three vice presidents and 11 directors. In addition to organizing the Marathon, the DMC began fund-raising for both Riley Hospital and the Marathon. Members worked hard to get pledges by writing letters to friends and family. While some organizations, such as fraternities and sororities, sponsored events like carwashes, almost 80 percent of the donations made to Riley's Hospital stemmed from canning. Armed with coffee cans and neon traffic vests, students who canned stood outside bars, between lanes of traffic during the rush to the football stadium before games and various places the group traveled collecting money. The DMC and dancers traveled around the state collecting money. They stood outside of the RCA Dome in Indianapolis during Colts' football games, drove to Brown County and hit all of the major malls in the state of Indiana. Corporate sponsors paid for all operating expenses, allowing 100 percent of the proceeds to go straight to the kids. Senior Ron Jose, Dance Marathon president, worked for the philanthropic organization for five years. He said members of DMC spent four to five hours a week fund-raising in the fall, but the hard work paid off. The IU Dance Marathon ranked second in the amount of money contributions to the Children's Miracle Network. "The Marathon has grown quickly the past six years and the credit goes to student initiative," Jose said. "Our advisor takes a hack seat and allows us to do what we want — that makes Dance Marathon so successful.The amazing history of the Marathon spoke for itself and for the people involved.

The rapid success and enthusiasm that surrounded the Dance Marathon made it one of the fastest growing traditions at IU. The Marathon gave students with a chance to meet new people and listen to bands, while giving so much to the kids. "This is my second year dancing in the marathon. When I graduate, I will look back on this weekend as one of the most memorable times of my college career," senior Megan Frossard said.

Jose became active in the Marathon after its first year. After a founder recruited him as a dancer, he worked his way up the ranks. "I decided to run for president of the Marathon because the organization has given me so much," Jose said. "I felt I had to give something back." Moving the Marathon to the HPER made the event more accessible to students. The centralized campus location attracted more participation because it was within walking distance for a majority of students. The HPER also allowed organizers to keep marathon events centralized with a smaller area. The Dance Marathon Council began setting up for the event at 4 p.m. Thursday. And when the dancers arrived at 8 p.m. Friday, they found local band Riley's Daughter electrifying the crowd. Dancers were cautious, however, not to waste all of their energy with the first band — many hours of sleeplessness stretched ahead of them. continued

"Since I am just a freshman, I really did not know what kind of time commitment this was," freshman Brian Mosby said. "I mean, I knew that we had to keep moving for 36 hours, but I guess that it did not hit me until after the first 12 hours of staying on my feet." Every few hours, the estimated 600 dancers learned parts of a line dance led by the morale committee. Dancers practiced steps between band performances, and then, during the final hours of the marathon, they performed the entire dance. Guest speakers stopped at the marathon to commend the dancers. Dean of Students Richard McKaig, and theIUChancellor Kenneth R R Gros Louis encouraged the dancers to keep up the good work. Children's Miracle Network co-founder John Schneider, who played Bo Duke on "The Dukes of Hazzard," made a special appearance to applaud the students for the marathon's success. Riley's children and their families were also present during the course of the marathon. These visitors reminded dancers their efforts directly affect the children. "You realize that it is all worthwhile when you see all of those little kids who are so happy to be there even though they have more of a reason than anyone to be miserable," sophomore Beth O'Dell said. "That was what kept me going the entire time." The weekend ended with a slide show of the 36-hour marathon. Pictures capturing the spirit of the weekend the dancers had just spent together appeared on large screen televisions. Some tears fell, but smiles prevailed as the children and parents of the Riley's kids thanked the dancers and organizers for their support. A mother compared the people involved in the marathon to the work done in the poem "Footprints." She said the thought of students volunteering their time helped her through the rough times she faced.L

tates its longevity tory by Emily Killmer

Two trumpet players of the Marching Hundred practice under blue skies at Memorial Stadium. Of the 320 members, 51 played the trumpet. They remained standing for entire games and danced to songs such as "Tootsie Roll" in the bleachers to show their spirit.

crushed and disfigured mellophone hung in a the office of David Woodley, director of the Marching Hundred. A student forgot to move it out of a bus's way one game day, and has since served as a dangling memento. He chose to look at this instrument not as a punishment or a painful reminder of a bad accident, but more of a good memory he could laugh at afterward. Marking its 100th year, the Marching Hundred celebrated a tradition of supporting IU football and its own commitment to excellence. Director of Bands Ray Cramer, led the Marching Hundred from 1972-82. He accredited the band's tradition of great pride in performances to the enthusiasm of the band members. "This band has a pride in what they do and how they deal with others," Cramer said. "I've always contended that the thing that makes our group different is the quality of its students." With 320 members, about half men and half women, the band did not continue to honor its namesake. The 'Marching Hundred' received its name during the 1920s when sportscasters, so bored with the football games, began reporting on the bands. Woodley said IU happened to have 100 people in the band at the time. The band was formed in 1896 by 22 men who wanted to show support for the football team. Women eventually joined the Marching Hundred in 1972 with the addition of the Red Steppers, and the first female players began performing in 1973. Woodley said although it took about 76 years to make these changes, the band and its performances wouldn't be the same if it weren't co-ed.

"The dynamics of the group tend to change, it made it a lot more fun," he said. Steve Waldron, the 1996 drum major, said the high level of performance surprised people. The band's music was one of the finest, he said, because it had a terrific blend of sounds. "When we go to another stadium, people think 'it doesn't matter how your team did, your band kicked butt,' said senior Nichole Graham, a four year band member. One of Graham's fondest memories happened when the Hoosiers beat Purdue in West Lafayette her sophomore year. The band suffered the wrath of angry Purdue fans. "We had to march through Purdue's campus to the buses. There was an animosity from the crowds and they were throwing things at us," she said. Moments like those, she said, gave the band members an opportunity to hold their heads up and be proud, and nothing could take that away. Pride and tradition carried over to the uniforms the band members wore. The heavy, caped uniforms in bright black, red and white remained a constant throughout the years. Along with everything else, they had their share of changes. "Twenty-five years ago, the uniforms used to be all wool," Woodley said. "Imagine wearing 35 pounds of clothes in 95 degree weather." In order to compensate for the warm weather, the newer uniforms were made from a blend of different fibers. The new style was not warm enough for the band when the temperature dropped to 10 below zero, Woodley said.

The band usually remained in Bloomington, but always traveled to the Old Oaken Bucket game when it was held in West Lafayette. In addition, the band performed at the University of Illinois game in Champaign-Urbana, Ill.

Below: Freshman John Webster, buttons his uniform while preparing for a pre-game practice. Sousaphone players wore berets instead of the shakos worn by the other members. Band members usually arrived one and a half hours before football games to practice at Mellencamp Pavilion.

It's not easy getting out there when it's freezing and putting a brass mouthpiece to your lips," Cramer said. Although he complained about marching in the cold, he said the extreme weather was often motivation for the band. This element of endurance boosted their enthusiasm. "Whenever the weather is the worst, they love it the most," Cramer said. Band members displayed their dedication and strong work ethic through a rigorous practice schedule. During football season, the band practiced at least two hours every day. They practiced eight hours a day for a full week before fall semester began, and held practices at 8 a.m. or earlier on game days. "This is enthusiasm," Waldron said. "Giving 110 percent at each rehearsal shows how dedicated the members are." When the Marching Hundred practiced at band camp the week before first semester, Waldron said he made it his goal to keep a smile on his face and to know every member's name by the end of the week. By spending so much time together, the members naturally created a bond with one another. But when alumni returned to play at special events, Waldron said they had no trouble fitting in with the band.

"This shows their support and how much they enjoyed being in the Marching Hundred," Waldron said. "And even though we don't know these people, we have a bond with them because we've all been through the same things." Cramer said this bond was an incredible experience for many students because they would immediately get 300 friends as a freshman. Cramer's involvement at IU allowed him to witness the friendships between members. Perfect strangers came together as a big family and these were the people they spent most of their four years with — on and off the field. "In 27 years, there have been many social and economic changes, and yet the family dedication that you feel remains constant," he said. And while styles of music may have changed in the past 100 years, some favorites stuck around. "Crowds like songs they know," Woodley said. "We shoot for songs from the biggest age group at the football game." And even though songs like Jimmy Buffet's Cheeseburger in Paradise were not played 100 years ago, the crowd had fun with them, he said. Remaining one of IU's strongest traditions, the 100 year old marching band celebrated its anniversary and played on. LI

OCBY

s the sun emerged in the early dawn hours the weeks following spring break, candidates on A the OCBY ticket began the day's campaigning by distributing flyers. The party's work extended into the early morning hours when faithful members covered the campus sidewalks with chalk messages about the party's platform. The driving force behind these tasks were four students who did not know each other at the start of the school year, but they all believed student government needed to be a "doing" organization. Campaigning on the slogan "Realizing the Possibilities," the new IUSA executives believed student activity was the key to successful results. Junior Dave Orensten, sophomore Steve Chiagouris, graduate student Jennifer Borse and junior Jennifer Yocum met through mutual friends and IUSA members. With 2,295 votes in the election, April 1-2, these executives of the OCBY ticket were elected as the new IU Student Association officers. They acquired the offices of president, vice president for congress, vice president for administration and treasurer respectively. Newly elected Borse said OCBY was a fun-loving group of people who enjoyed having a good time. She believed each executive took their job seriously, but not themselves. The respect they had for each other made the group a productive team. "At times we agree to disagree on certain issues . We don't take disagreements personally because we all want what is best for IUSA," said Borse. Orensten became interested in the IUSA presidency when he learned the other parties running did not focus on the issues he thought were important. Politics were not something Orensten liked, or saw in his future. But he served as the president of Teter Quadrangle and realized he could participate in worthwhile projects for students. Orensten stressed the importance of student involvement. He pointed out articles printed in the Indiana Daily Student that reflected a negative view of IUSA. But Orensten insisted student politics were important. "IUSA can make a difference. Those who say it can't are saying students in general can't make a difference," said Orensten.

profile By Elizabeth DeLion Olivia Clarke Campaigning involved speaking with student groups on campus to discuss ways to improve IUSA. During a press conference, Borse said one of the main jobs of OCBY was listening to the concerns of students and acting as a liaison between the administration and student body. "We are all here at IU to learn and the OCBY ticket wants to work with and for the student body to ensure that our learning environment is conducive to our academic success," she said. "We seek to engage the faculty of the university in a meaningful dialogue that will help bring positive change." Yocum said as treasurer she wanted to change the inordinate amount of time IUSA took in reimbursing student groups. She said many times IUSA sponsored a group, but the group used its own money and then IUSA paid them back. "[Campaigning] has been worth it, but we could not have done any of this without all of the supporters who helped us get elected," Yocum said. "Now we want to get in there and make a difference. We want to do all the things we pledged to do. We have got the best candidates and the beliefs to work for." After the election, OCBY campaign manager Sean O'Meara held the traditional celebration party. Unfortunately the party was less than successful because the Bloomington Police Department arrived at the party scene and arrested 33 people. Orensten arrived shortly after the police and was disheartened to see the celebration cut short. "I was disappointed the people who worked hard on the campaign were not allowed to enjoy the moment of the party," said Orensten. Orensten worried about the effects of the arrests, but believed it was not a reflection on the party's abilities. OCBY's four executives had distinct personalities and shared a mutual respect for each other that allowed them to work through a variety of obstacles. "We're all pretty different which is a good thing because we all have to work with different groups of people on different projects," said Orensten. -Even after running a campaign, we all get along and we are looking forward to a productive year."

Road to the White House Elections '96 bring out the student vote

by Chalkings peppered the campus urging students to register to vote. Naomi Campus political organizations created a non-partisan agreement between themselves and each group set out on a mission — to register as many Blum voters as possible before the government deadline. They stormed the dorms, equipped with voter registration slips. "The registration was very successful. We registered approximately 1,000 voters," senior Ronald Spitz a student coordinator for the Weinzapfel campaign said. "They were either first-time voters or they wanted to switch their registration." The elections offered opportunities to students seeking involvement in the political system. Campus organizations, such as College Democrats, College Republics. INPirg and the Youth Vote Coalition, offered students real experience in running a political campaign. Spitz spent 15 to 20 hours a week recruiting volunteers to help with mailings, voter registration and door-to-door literature drops within Bloomington and the larger district. As the election neared, the chalkings increased and supporters for the candidates desperately tried to rally the student body. They held forums and debates to discuss issues they felt were most important to students in the coming year. The 8th District Congressional race between Republican incumbent John N. Hostettler and Democrat John Weinzapfel attracted the most local attention. One of the reasons was the focus on student issues like financial aid. He also had an energized group of students working his campaign, including three student coordinators. Finally, students wanted to be involved in a campaign where they could make a difference. Although Hostettler won the seat, there was still a debate as to how to interpret the student vote. Bloomington was divided into 17 precincts. Thirteen were "mixed" precincts containing both III students and Bloomington residents. The other four encompassed the dorms and were 100 percent student. The voter turnout, however, did not represent the full population of Monroe County. There were 80,110 people registered and 40,719 votes calculated, a 50.83 percent turnout. "I'm 24 and I still haven't registered and I'm not planning to. My vote wouldn't count anyway," said sophomore Brian Simmons. "I don't like the way our government runs, and I don't care to be any part of it.continued

Bloomington resident Rick Hakala protested the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. "If there weren't a chained-off pit of loyal opposition, then we wouldn't be a democracy would we?" he said. Although cynicism ran high on campus, some students believed in the importance of voting and proudly voted in person or by absentee ballot. If you don't even care to vote, you have no reason to complain about the anything," senior Michael Overcash said. In addition to the traditional media outlets covering the 1996 Campaign, MTV ran its own election coverage. Equipped in a sleek, "Choose or Lose" van, MTV urged young people to register and vote. The effects on the election were mixed. Some students felt MTV presented a slanted point of view, while others felt they addressed important issues that affected Generation-X. "I think that MTV had more of an effect in the '92 election," sophomore Ryan Burke said. "But people in general are highly ignorant, and listen to the media and not their minds."

All the President's Men George Stephanopoulos visits campus by Red, white and blue placards carrying the message, -Students vote Sara Clinton-Gore and the Democratic ticket," rested in the laps of students Brazeal and community members who packed the Whittenberger Auditorium at

the Indiana Memorial Union the morning of Sept. 7. As local Democrats made their pitches to student voters, they worked the standing-room only crowd into a partisan fury. Then, the boyish-looking George Stephanopoulos walked down the center aisle of the auditorium. Stephanopoulos, whose title of senior policy adviser to President Bill Clinton, was nearly as weighty as his last name, received a standing ovation. In town campaigning for eighth district congressional candidate Jonathan Weinzapfel, Stephanopoulos emphasized the positive direction Clinton had taken the country in since being elected in 1992.

Stephanopoulos said Clinton made more progress on economic growth and the deficit than the previous 12 years of Republican presidency. Still, Stephanopoulos said, this paled in comparison to the importance of education as a national priority. "We cannot improve as we move into the next century unless we invest in education," he said. In stumping for Weinzapfel, Stephanopoulos said the Republican congress had devastated education loans. They voted against college education from top to bottom. Stephanopoulos said he owed much to the federal government for his own college education. One month after Election Day 96, he said he would finally finish paying off his student loans. "I wouldn't have had all the opportunities I have been blessed with over the last 14 years without college student loans," he said. Some students in the audience said they gained political insight from Stephanopoulos' speech. "I learned the Democratic party is really focused on education and what college students want," said freshman Laura Woody. Candidate Weinzapfel, a 1988 IU alumnus, said Stephanopoulos targeted his speech well to the student audience. "Young people can make a difference," he said. "It's really up to this generation."

U.S. Supreme Court Justice speaks to stucents anc facul ith a slow and steady pace, U.S. Supreme Court Justice William Rehnquist made his way across the Wcourt room in the IU Law School. His black judge's robe billowed behind him as the stern-faced justice took his seat and waited for the trial to begin. During his visit, Rehnquist led a panel of judges in what was titled, "The Trial of Richard the III," a recreation of an actual trial that occurred 500 years ago. Participants in the mock trial debated whether King Richard III of England ordered an accomplice to kill his two young nephews who might have had a claim to the throne. "The trial was pretty interesting. There is real distinction between innocence and guilt in a modern standpoint verses historical standpoint," said David Greenberg, a Tri-North student. Third-year law student Paige Porter and James Fitzpatrick, an IU Alumnus and partner for the Washington, D.C. law firm of Arnold & Porter led the prosecution. Using historical and physical evidence to support motive and opportunity, they tried to prove that someone murdered the two princes, that Richard III was complicit in the murder and that he was an accomplice. "Assemble these many pieces of evidence into a mosaic of guilt," Fitzpatrick said. The defense team tried to discredit the prosecution based on a lack of concrete evidence and the circulation of unreliable rumors about the original case. In the end, defense attorney John Walda, president of the Ili Board of Trustees and a Fort Wayne attorney, told the court, "We are not here to prove who killed the princes in the tower. We are here to set the record straight on Richard III." After conferring and discussing the presented evidence, the panel made its decision. "The court is divided," Rehnquist said. The panel concluded Richard III was probably involved in the murders, but there wasn't enough evidence and the court was split, 2-1, in favor of the defense. "The outcome wasn't predetermined, but it wasn't difficult to predict," said law professor Craig Bradley, who clerked for Rehnquist in the Oct. 1985 season. In contrast to his trip to IU in 1992 where riots and protests ensued because of his conservative stance, the campus remained quiet. The mock trial was the highlight of the justice's visit, but he also included appearances to several law classes and a speech titled "The Treason Trials of Indianapolis."

by Naomi Blume IU Law School students had the opportunity to discuss Supreme Court grants and certs with Rehnquist. Meeting one of most influential minds in the United States face to face was one of the goals of the Jurist in Residence program of the IU Law School. The Rehnquist visit served as a key educational tool for students outside the classroom. "It's a value for students primarily to see and interact with someone who is considered a mystical figure," said law professor Joseph Hoffmann, who clerked for Rehnquist during the 1985 session. "Imagine him walking out of a bowling alley. He's a normal guy — a smart normal guy."

He was really down-toearth. It was exciting being in the presence of the chief justice. His lecture was exciting and interesting. JeredWilson Rehnquist also presented his speech entitled "The Treason Trials of Indianapolis.The speech, a spin-off of book research, analyzed the trials conducted in the aftermath of the Civil War and how the war changed the nature of habeas corpus laws. The visit allowed law students and faculty to learn about how historical cases related to modern court. Rehnquist's visit also offered a much broader purpose — it de-mystified a person thought only to exist in law and history books. "He was really down-to-earth," said Jered Wilson, a third-year law student. "It was exciting being in the presence of the chief justice. His lecture was exciting and interesting. -

King encourages women

to lead

Coretta Scott King promotes Women's Heritace Month eats filled quickly in the Bloomington/Monroe County Convention Center as nearly 700 people filed in to hear S Coretta Scott King's speech entitled, "The Role of Women in the New Millennium." People squirmed in their seats as they turned to see King enter as time approached for the speech March 28. After a standing ovation, Reverand E.D. Butler, who marched with Martin Luther King, Jr. on Washington, D.C. and in Montgomery, Ala., presented the opening invocation. Mayor John Fernandez welcomed and thanked Mrs. King for taking time to visit Bloomington, and Mary Smith-Forest introduced the woman with countless honors and awards. The audience was on its feet once again as King made her way to the stage. She smiled and thanked Bloomington for the welcome and jumped into her speech. She joked with the men in the audience when she introduced her speech and said she hoped none of them were offended because she was somewhat partial in her views. "I am here to call for a great expanded leadership role for women in shaping the future of America and the world," she said. King continued to talk about the different types of leadership roles women were starting to fill. Pointing out women held key positions in the arts, business, politics, science and education, she encouraged women to continue to fight for their share of the limelight — much like the number of women stars in the 1996 Summer Olympics. Quoting mega-stars songwriter Annie Lennox and singer Aretha Franklin, she said "the sisters are indeed doing it for themselves." The crowd broke into applause and smiles as King continued talking about women as leaders in a variety of areas. She pointed out that not only were women involved in every aspect of struggle throughout history, but many carried movements of their own — from the abolitionist movement through the civil rights movement. "There has been a long line of `sheros' that include Abigail Adams, Sojourner Truth, Ida Wells Barnett, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Eleanor Roosevelt, Mary McCloud Bethune and Rosa Parks, who's courage and moral leadership have challenged the conscience of America," she said. She introduced the idea of the unsung `sheros' who made a difference in the modern day. These women who suffered through generations of oppression so their children would have

by Meredith Bledsoe a better life. Mother Hale in Harlem dedicated her life to help poor and abandoned children, and a Mississippi woman who saved money from her modest wages washing clothes and formed a $150,000 scholarship fund for black students at University of Mississippi. "Usually these women remain unknown. They work and sacrifice and struggle to make a better way for the next generation," she said. "Let us never forget that they are leaders, too." Encouraging women to continue to stniggle for more opportunities and equality, she reminded the audience these unsung `sheros' belonged to everyone's family. And from these unsung 'sheros,' women needed to remember them and thank them for their contributions to the equality struggle.

Usually these women remain unknown. They work and sacrifice and struggle to make a better way for the next generation. Let us never forget that they are leaders, too.

CorettaScott King While women made significant strides, they were still locked out of power in business and government. She said while women made up 53 percent of the population, they held only 60 of 535 seats in Congress, and a little more than 21 percent of all state government jobs. She pressed women to get involved with politics and to support women politicians. When the crowd finally sat after a long standing ovation, several Monroe County school children presented huge bouquets of flowers to King. She hugged them and left for a reception.

A time to demand

Stucent Codition organizes protest on <ing Day long line of protesters wound its way through campus, and one woman voiced her frustration with A the need for change. Then, 10 to 15 people chimed in, echoing the woman's determination and spirit. Soon more than 400 voices rang as one. "What do we want? Change! When do we want it? Now!" Members of the Student Coalition marched on Martin Luther King Day and voiced their concerns for a diversity friendly campus. Among other things, members protested for improved minority retention and recruitment. What started as a rumor — and turned into a campus-wide debate — changed the face of student activism. Organized from the roots up by students, the march and protest blew the idea of the apathetic college student out of the water. The protest quickly gained the attention of not only the administration, but also the Bloomington and state media. In the 1960s style of peaceful protest, the organizers encouraged change by standing firm. At the steps of Showalter Fountain, students, faculty and members of more than 33 student groups united to fight for common goals. With speeches, chants and songs, organizers of the protest talked about the importance of the event. The crowd grew when curious passers-by stopped to listen. "We're about to make our own legacy at IU-Bloomington. We're making history here today — history that people are going to talk about history people are going to build on," said senior Philmore Hutchins. "This is only the beginning." The Student Coalition distributed flyers with instructions for

The curious peeked out from the windows of Ballantine Hall and the Chemistry Building as the marchers moved toward the Old Crescent. "I want to thank everyone for having the courage and forethought to come together and rally," said Coalition leader and graduate student Pete Adams. "We need you to help us turn the rhetoric into action." Junior Ryan Vertner, a protest organizer, said the Coalition formed because IU failed to meet the needs of minorities. "There are issues the University needs to address and it's not being done rapidly enough," he said. The Coalition promised a revolution. And they succeeded. After reaching their final destination, the crowd assembled in front of the Sample Gates. Speeches from Coalition leaders kept the protesters spirited and hot chocolate kept them warm in the chilly weather. While the crowd of protesters remained in the cold outside Bryan Hall, six protest organizers met with IU Vice President and Bloomington Chancellor Kenneth R. R. Gros Louis for five hours to discuss the Coalition's seven demands: Approval and implantation of Latino Studies Department Appointment of an Asian-American Advocacy Dean Creation of an Asian Culture Center Continued maintenance and expansion of Office of Diversity programs University funding and permanence of the Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Student Support Services Office An increase in non-white and female faculty University-wide recognition of Mart in Luther King Jr. Day

The day of protest meant more than just the demands, it was also about education. In a tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr.'s emphasis on learning, the Coalition organized "teach-ins" before the march at the Black Cultural Center, La Casa and the International Center. Some of the topics, supported and led by faculty members included: "Asian American Students Issues at IU," "Journalism and Activism" and "Student Activism and Social Change." After a long meeting with the six negotiators, Gros Louis, an administrator for more than 20 years, said the idea of a student coalition was unique and he had not seen anything like it while at IU. "The key thing is that they were organized. For the first time since I've been in office, students representing various organizations came together," Gros Louis said. "In the past black students, Latino students and students from the GLB

community made separate requests. It was the first time they made a collective request. It was helpful to me that they were prepared to recognize others' requests and that financial resources are limited and one group might get less and others might get more." The following day, Gros Louis announced his support for all seven of the Coalitions goals at the Bloomington Faculty Meeting. He promised IU would implement a Latino studies degree, but whether it would be a department or programs depended on the writing of the curriculum. The University would establish an Asian Culture Center. Gros Louis promised $50,000 of funding to establish the center. If additional funds were needed Gros Louis said he would actively seek funding from the BFC. The Coalition demanded an Asian-American Advocacy Dean, but a deanship could only be created by the BFC .

In addition, the Office of Diversity Programs maintained its full-time secretary and the Coalition will continually negotiate with the office's supervisor, Eduardo Rhodes for additional funding. Gros Louis also guaranteed financial support for the GLB office. The Coalition's final demand of University-wide recognition of King Day was perhaps its greatest victory. Though the BFC said the possibility would be discussed in the council's calendar committee, the IU Board of Trustees, when meeting Jan. 24 in Bloomington, voted to recognize the holiday, giving students and faculty a day free of classes. Vertner said the decision shocked him because he thought the Trustees would never make such a decision for the BFC. At the Trustee meeting, though it was held four days after the protest, Board of Trustees President John Waldo said the decision had nothing to do with the protest. Nevertheless, sociology professor Elton Jackson, a BFC member, expressed concern about the ramifications of meeting students' demands so quickly. "Are we at all concerned about the precedent that's set from a group of people who wish changes at the University who come, present a list of demands and present arguments for them? Might this not happen next year, or the year after," Jackson asked. Jackson's fears were not unwarranted, and the Student Coalition members said they couldn't be happier. Vertner, cofounder of griot, an activism-focused newspaper, said plans were in the works for further strides to increase IU's commitment to diversity though he would not elaborate on the Coalition's plans. "It's phenomenal to see what collective student support will do," he said. With the momentum we've created, it's not going to fizzle out, there's no way. The reason for this is that there are many issues that require exactly what we did (at the protest)."

Saturday afternoon, April 19, hundreds of people came to Dunn Meadow to get a taste of Culture Shock, sponsored by WIUS. The main stage bands — set up next to the Jordan River — included United States 3, the Dynamics, Homunculus, Flattus, Panalopy Academy Glee Club, Cadmium Orange and Uvula. Each band played 45-minute sets. "I've had a hell of a time dancing," freshman Steve Keppler said, sweaty and out of breath from dancing. "I really like Flattus and I'm a big Homunculus fan." The smaller stage, located on the far side of Dunn Meadow by Indiana Ave., featured the groups Operation: Cliff Clavin, Chive, Dave Fischoff, Mary Janes, Japonize Elephants and Red Devil, Blue Devil. Many people took advantage of Dunn Meadow's size and danced to the music, while others wandered around the information booths, picking up free magnets, pencils, pamphlets and CDs. Private vendors and stores displayed their wares, hoping to sell their hemp purses and belts, jewelry, fimo bead picture frames, and other kinds of knick-knacks. Many booths promoted organizations that distributed information on various social issues. The National Organization for Women represented respect for women and diversity. Their table held pins and buttons with gay/lesbian symbols. "Straight or gay, white, black, yellow or green, there shouldn't be discrimination," said State Board Member Lorraine Hitz-Bradley. continued

Monroe County Solid Waste Management District, located a few booths down, gave out posters of Indiana wilderness and mini-containers shaped like green recycling bins. Like the previous two years, representatives encouraged reuse and reduction. "We want to get the word out about what's recyclable, what we're doing, and the services available in our district," explained Education Director Catherine Schirmer. The Bloomington Community Circus per-formed across the meadow, next to a small music stage. The children performers jumped and flipped through a hoop on a large trampoline and did tricks on a trapeze above. A crowd gathered and watched as the performers flew fearlessly in the air. The large grassy area of Dunn Meadow allowed ample space for people to throw frisbees. Circles of friends played hackey sack, while dozens of people came with their dogs. "If I had my own booth here, I'd have something for dogs. I'd probably sell hemp doggie treats," joked senior Dave Braunstein, observing the abundance of dogs at Culture Shock. Near the main music stage, people sat at a table and offered free condoms (some mint-flavored) and pamphlets about avoiding sexually transmitted diseases. The group was sponsored by Lascivious Exhibitions, a group involved in organizing the Eroticon Charity Balls. Though she found it hard to hear over the loud music played on the stage, senior Kelly McBride said her table was there "to get the word out about safe sex and get protection into people's hands." Culture Shock lasted into the late evening hours, but dedicated fans lingered until the end. The variety of music — from funk to reggae — and other attractions provided something for everyone. "Culture Shock is the one chance during the year to show off — our local music, our service to the community, that we're here for the students, and to just have a good time," said junior Darren Shannon, Magazine Director for WILTS.

Race marks return of

Stucents survive Little 500 weekenc with few arrests anc great races arrest numbers fall ittle 500 weekend known for its tradition — both cycling and drinking — experienced a crack down in recent L years because of underage drinking and riots. Breaking the rules had consequences for those students who endangered themselves or others during Little 500 week. Dean McKaig said students arrested April 23 through 27, would be punished with special disciplinary actions by the University. In addition to legal ramifications, students with alcohol-related charges also faced Code of Ethics violations. Students could choose to work with a judicial hearing officer or go before a judicial board. Both determined how serious the student's action was and whether he or she was reprimanded, suspended or expelled. McKaig said the reason for a stricter policy during Little 500 week was the history of violence associated with the event. He concluded the increased number of visitors on campus created possible dangers. Sophomore Lauren Arant, an alcohol and drug peer educator, said Little 500 seemed to give students a reason to party. "In my estimation, (drinking) is a very big part because it is one of those times when people have a reason to party all week," Arant said. "That is why excise officers have been here since Saturday or Monday. Many people don't think to have designated drivers or just stay where they are. It is frightening because drunk driving is one of the No. 1 causes of death of people our age." Arant encouraged students to take one of the eight Bacchus busses instead of driving during the weekend. With no scheduled routes, the service offered to pick-up people, drunk or sober, and take them home or the next party. Both the IU and Bloomington Police Departments did their part to protect the safety of the University. The departments arrested 60 people during the week. The figure followed a downward trend in the number of arrests since 1991, when 400 people were charged. On April 21, 1991, a riot at the Varsity Villas Apartment Complex ended with a 1986 Cadillac Cimmaron flipped over, 41 BPD officers on the scene and 16 people arrested. Sgt. Roger Kelly of the BPD said the reason the number decreased was people realized that Bloomington did not tolerate violence and trouble. "It basically amounts to most people that come here to party got the message that this is not the place to come to party,"

80 Calendar

Kelly said. "A lot of students that don't like what goes along with Little 500 leave town." Kelly said the BPD prepared for the week by patrolling places of town known for violence. He said they doubled up on officers in squad cars and they have streamlined the arrest procedure so it moved faster. He said they also talked with such people as the Indiana State police and the Excise police in order to plan for the week.

If they woulc use a lot of common sense, they could avoid troub e and this cou d be a really fun weekend Roger Kelly Kelly said those students arrested had the decision to take part in pretrial diversion if they committed a first time offense. The pretrial diversion involved students attending a class related to their offense, paying a fine and doing community service Sunday which involved picking up trash from Little 500 weekend. "After so many years, we are tired of seeing young people getting into trouble," Kelly said. "We dread to see Little 500 weekend come because some people get hurt and get involved with the law. If they would use a lot of common sense, they could avoid trouble and this could be a really fun weekend. If you are underage, don't drink, and if you are of age, drink sensibly. If you are female and you go to parties, take along others."

"Last year we finished in second place and wanted to do better this year," Porter said. "The only way to do better was to come in first." The Low Riders were not the only team returning to Mini 500 looking for redemption.

"We knew from experience last year that it was more important to concentrate on our turns rather than our speed," Weiler said. "We knew if our turns were tight and if we stayed in bounds, then the speed would just come naturally." Despite junior Andrew Connell's broken wrist, Delta Tau Delta's team (seniors Michael Isch and Steve Raderstorf and juniors Connell and Steven Gallagher) managed to win the men's competition. "We had to put the pedal to the metal when crossing the finish line," Connell said. "We were racing against some awesome teams and it was really up in the air. Any team could have won tonight." Delta Tau Delta entered the race with the second fastest qualifying time. After pole position team Pi Kappa Psi failed to make it to the final round, Isch said he knew his team's chance of winning was even greater. "We had the ability to do it and we had the drive to do it," Isch said. "As soon as we crossed the finish line I couldn't stop smiling. It was an absolutely awesome feeling." Sarah Rupel

With 30 teams, the field comprised the second largest in the race's history. Qualifying in the fourth position, the Roadrunners started the race strong. They stayed in the first three positions for a majority of the laps, and never left the top five positions. The Road-runners managed nearly a half lap lead on the competition, bringing victory back to the independent team after three years of greek domination. Jeanie Leinweber, a senior rider for the Roadrunners, finished the last lap of the race with her team in her lead. When she crossed the finish line, the checkered flag waved in the background and she threw her arms up triumphantly. "Everyone wanted this so much," Leinweber said. "We've been training for all this and we never quit. It paid off."

The Roadrunners secured the victory but were forced to fight off the competition. Kappa Alpha Theta's veteran rider, Julie Beck, held the lead in the race's first five laps, attempting its third Little 500 title. Thetas never left the front of the pack and finished second. Phi Mu started the race from the seventeenth pole position, but surprised the crowd at their fast start and headed the pack by lap 44. Phi Mu junior Alison Roy admitted the team had a bad day at qualifications, and knew their hard training would pay off. Though they gave Roadrunners a run for the title, Phi Mu fell short and finished third. "Phi Mu did an excellent job today," Leinweber said. "They definitely were holding back in track practice and were up with us today." To combat the competition, Roadrunners implemented a fivelap, sprint-set strategy; each rider rode five laps before exchanging. "After lap 80 we started building a bigger and bigger lead," senior Megan Gavin said. "Once we put Jeanie on the hike for

On lap 20, Wright Cycledelics freshman Christy Holtkamp, collided with Chi Omega sophomore Lindsey Hawkins when she came around turn two. Hawkins was carried off the track on a stretcher and her team, third-place qualifying Cycledelics, rushed to stay with the pack. Kappa Kappa Gamma, the defending champs and pole sitter for the 1997 race saw its chance to repeat disappear with an accident on lap 48. Kappa's freshman Elizabeth Andrew came around turn four when she fell over three downed women in front of her. Although Kappas fought to catch up, they could not repeat and finished fifth.

Even though the team faltered in qualifications and started the race from the 19th position, they left the track on April 26 as champions of the Men's Little 500 Race. "Quals were just bad luck," Cutters freshman Capser Van Oosten said. "We knew we were fast. We just did what we wanted to do." The Cutters top finish from the seventh row came as a surprise to very few teams on the track. "Cutters win didn't really surprise me," Sigma Nu senior Brian Baker said. "We always knew they were a strong team with great athletes. We knew they would be competitive." "I can't believe this," senior Sam Gasowski said after the race. "It's so great.

Cutters and Fji were the only teams fighting for the title at the end of the day, but that was not the case for most of the race. Accidents took their toll, knocking out some of the teams contending for the title. Pole sitter Sigma Alpha Epsilon and No. 2 team Phi Kappa Psi were both involved in an accident and neither team was able to recover. Consequently, SAE finished ninth and Phi Kappa Psi finished 19th. Sigma Chi was also involved in an accident,but the team was able to recover. Sigma Chi started eighth and finishedfifth. "We're trying to make up laps all the time," sophomore Bill Abel said. "We're pretty damn happy to finish fifth after wrecking.Dodds also struggled with an accident after leading for part of the race. A rider went down in lap 91, but the team used a sprint strategy to make up laps. Dodds finished fourth. Perhaps no accident had more effect on the race than the last accident on the backstretch. At the time, only the Cutters, Delta Chi and Fiji were out in front. It appeared as if one of those three teams would win the race, but then on lap 172 Delta Chi sophomore Tony Fay caught the wheel ahead of him and crashed. "It set us back half a lap," senior Brian Oliger said. "We could have beat them, but things like that happen." Cutters and Fiji made their way out of the accident without harm stayed the leaders. And for the fifthtime in the 47 year history of the race, the team inspired by Breaking Away, went home with the Borg-Warner trophy. "It's great for the Cutters to win," Wojtowich said.

he bumper to bumper traffic was the only mishap on graduation day. The cloudless sky set the tone as champagne bottles popped, silly string flew and beach balls bounced among a sea of black caps and gowns. Some graduates set themselves apart by decorating their caps with happy faces, books, apples, proof of a job or lack thereof. Others chose to enhance their look with a tassel attached to the top of a baseball hat or umbrella. Students lined up for inspection and eagerly waited for the ceremony to start. At 9:15 a.m. May 10, the Class of 1997 left the Field House and paraded into Memorial Stadium where friends, family and faculty sat in the stands. The graduation ceremony was also the favorite part of the academic year for President Myles Brand. "Commencement enables the university to celebrate its students' successes, and it helps graduates bring closure to an important part of their lives," Brand said. "It also helps set graduates on their way for the next stage in life." Key note speaker Sen. Dan Coats, Rind., received the IU President's Medal for Excellence for his support of the values, goals and missions of IU and his statesmanship and support of education. Coats spoke about influence and sacrifice. "Don't waste your energy on casual creeds and vague resolves," Coats said. "Give the gift of your whole self to a cause, a belief, a person without reservation even at the price of your peace. Weave a noble story into the stuff of other lives, because our lasting influence is not discovered in resumes and rewards, but in a willingness of the heart."

Coats cited Dr. David Allen, an award-winning physician and lecturer, as one of his role models. He devoted evenings to counseling crack-addicted, homeless men. Allen was once asked by one of the men why he helped them, and Coats quoted him as saying, "Because you are my heroes. If one of you can make it against the odds you face, there is hope."For me, Dr. Allen represents a quiet goodness that does not flash, but glows — a persistent challenge to the darkness," Coats said. IU Vice President and Bloomington Chancellor Kenneth Gros Louis acknowledged the diversity of the class of 1997 during the class presentation. The class contained a mother and son pair who graduated with Health Physical Education and Recreation majors and the first Associate of Arts degree awarded posthumously to a man who died during Winter Break. The class also included mother of two daughters who worked at University Computing Services was named "most typical mother" by People magazine. Gros Louis said the class might have included a young man who received a liver transplant, but this student would graduate late. Gros Louis used the theme of John Keats' poem "Ode to a Grecian Urn" as a metaphor for the class of 1997. Gros Louis talked about how impossible it would have been in 1820 to imagine the texture of ideas which made up the discourse at the modern university. He spoke of the glorious and quiet achievements of IU students. continued

Gros Louis said the class of 1997 would be, in Keats' words, "the figures that remain teasing others out of thought as does eternity." "We hope you will appreciate the beauty of every sunrise.' Gros Louis said. Brand said on his way into the stadium he saw an AfricanAmerican family waving a sign which said, "You Made It Dad.Brand said those were the kind of families who were his heroes. Brand urged members of the class of 1997 to furnish their minds, follow their passions and be true to themselves. "Your education at IU has prepared your mind for a lifetime of continuous learning. In fact, that may be the single most valuable lesson you have mastered here: how to learn," Brand said. "But it is up to you to restock the shelves, remodel the rooms and occasionally get clown and dirty in spring cleaning to clear the cobwebs out of the attic." Graduate Rachel Lamden said she enjoyed the way all the graduates at the ceremony were recognized. "I thought it was really long," said Lamden who earned her elementary education degree Saturday.

umors that researchers in the upper levels of Jordan Hall discovered a way to create Rfish with legs not only grabbed the attention of biology students, but also the rest of the campus. Legends such as this circulated campus for years, but students who took advantage of research opportunities quickly learned these rumors were far from the truth. Professor Craig Nelson and his students, for example, studied sex differentiation in turtles. This included research to determine when stealing a mate was better than advertising for one, and why turtle eggs kept at lower temperatures tended to produce female offspring. Research in the Strome Lab, under the supervision of professor Susan Strome, focused on how one-celled embryos generate the specialized tissues needed to produce a fullgrown adult. "I've had undergrads do everything from observation in field ponds to work on behavior experiments in the lab," Nelson said. Professor Yves Brun's research, on the other hand, did not appear as outwardly exciting to the non-scientific community. He led a team of students interested in researching a simple organism named Caulobacter. The Brun lab, and others like it, allowed students to gain experience in the scientific community through hands on research. "Very few undergrads have done it. Most people did not know they (the labs) existed. They think you have to have your own idea to do independent lab research," said junior Teresa Lo, one of three undergraduates working in the lab. By sharing his knowledge of theCaulobacter with his students, Brun hoped not only to challenge his students, but also to make sure it was a rewarding experience they enjoyed. "My role was to show them the way; to suggest an interesting problem to study, to teach them to analyze the results, to be critical about them, to lead them to their next experiments, to provide expertise and a broader outlook on their research and to provide the thousands of dollars that it costs to do all of the experiments," Brun said. Students learned much more than the basic school-taught lab experience with Brun. They studied and researched complicated parts of the bacteria often skipped over in the classroom.

Students applied the knowledge they learned in classes to their work in the lab and critical thinking was an imperative part of the job. Lo's research focused on the division process of Caulobacter. She studied FtsZ, a gene involved in cell division. The gene encoded a protein required for early steps of cell division. "It's most likely not the only one involved. There are certainly many other proteins that cause cell division. I had to figure out the whole picture. I wanted as much information as possible," she said. Junior Madeleine Gonin — another undergraduate researcher in the Brun lab — studied another aspect of the bacteria. She analyzed the stalks of the cells and researched the genes involved in the transportation of phosphates. Very few undergrads have done it. Most people did not know they (the labs) existed. Teresa LO While the research done in the lab might not have made a shattering effect on the scientific community, the information gained through the research could be applied to researched conducted in other related areas. The greatest benefit, however, was the lab experience Brun's students gained. Both Gonin and Lo agreed their lab work was worthwhile. "It's definitely very interesting and it was a really good experience," Gonin said. "I met a lot of people. It will also look good when I apply for jobs." Lo said working in the lab was a good opportunity for students to test out their interest in a career in biology. She also said her experience in the Brun lab helped her determine whether or not she wanted to continue her studies in biology. "I think students liked doing experiments at the frontier of knowledge. They discovered many new things, things that nobody else knew, and they contributed to the advancement of knowledge. It was a game, an intellectual game, an intellectual challenge. It was like trying to figure out who did it in a good mystery novel," Brun said. LI

IU receives top rankings in many programs

lie pursuit of knowledge drove IU to become one T of the top public institutions in the country — continuing the tradition of excellence which started with its founding more than 175 years ago. More than 50 undergraduate schools and departments on the Bloomington campus were ranked as "leading institutions " by the 1996 "Gourman Report," an annual report ranking undergraduate and graduate programs. Of those, 15 were rated in the top six and one was ranked as the best. The Religious Studies Department ranked first in the country, placing above much older programs such as Yale Divinity School. Chairperson Stephen Stein credited the faculty, citing them as a group who encouraged quality teaching and sought out others who promoted excellence. He also said the Religious Studies faculty won a number of awards as researchers and communicators. "Since the rankings were very (subjective), this is a small but nice way to measure our success," Stein said. A number of categories including faculty experience, success of graduates, number of students, curriculum and physical plant determined the rankings. Individuals within each program who, as the report stated, wanted to further the standards of higher education furnished these ratings. Overall, IU placed second in the state, just behind the University of Notre Dame, and 27th in the nation. Although honored by the high ranking, many faculty members thought it was important to keep the rankings in perspective. "There were many different rankings given out, all based on different criteria," said IU Assistant Vice President James Green. He said while the faculty appreciated seeing how it was regarded by its peers, the rankings needed to be looked at objectively. He credited some of the high rankings to a strong liberal arts program and the well-rounded education all

students received. Individual departments contributed to the University's high overall ranking. Three concentrations within the School of Business, for example, ranked high. Business administration, finance and marketing ranked second; while management stood third in the nation. The business school differed from most of the other departments and schools because it depended on the high rankings to bring in top recruiters and students. Dan Dalton, associate dean for academics, thought of the rankings as an honor to the School of Business and its faculty. "These rankings celebrate a partnership of an extremely good student body and a distinguished faculty," he said. The School of Business offered an award-winning schedule of classes unlike any other in the country. This curriculum — the Integrative Core — combined aspects of business and relied on group work, lectures and two rounds of exams to give students a comprehensive view of the study of business. The rankings also served as indicators where changes could be made for every department. "The rankings were important but not perfect," Dalton said. "They provided an effective signal of how we were doing and where improvements were needed." Nearly every foreign language department finished near the top of the rankings. The Slavic Language and Literature Department ranked third in Slavic languages and seventh in Russian. The small department within the College of Arts and Sciences was responsible for the study of Polish, Romanian, Russian and Croatian language and culture. "This individual ranking was very important. Since this is a small field, it is not included in most rankings," said Professor Ronald Feldstein, acting chairperson of the department. "We had excellence in our faculty and that helped bring high rankings."

TOP RANKING PROGRAMS 119

IN DEPTH Many programs credited their faculty as a contributing factor for the high rankings listed with "Gourman." Carrie Root, director of publicity for the School of Music — which received a high ranking from both US News and World Report in 1995 and 1996 "Gourman Report" — felt the faculty was its most profound selling point. "We believed in bringing the best known artists and scholars in their fields here to teach," Root said. "In turn, top faculty brought top students." While some departments adapted the curriculum specifically in order to obtain high rankings, some departments — such as the fourth-ranked Speech Communications Department — did not. Chairperson Robert Ivie said the ratings were not planned and something which just happened. Speech Communications credited its high rankings to the faculty and new curriculum. Ivie said in recent years there had been new additions of cultural studies classes — such as non-verbal communication classes — that improved its curriculum. Ivie also said, "Research and teaching became integral and energy came from an enhanced quality of mind." He added this was an advantage to students because it offered them the opportunity to learn from experienced and involved instructors. Of the more than 40 graduate programs recognized as leading programs, the Optometry and Library and Information Science Programs ranked third and the Business Management Program ranked fifth. The School of Library and Information Science made many changes to help make it even more successful. The addition of a Masters of Information Sciences degree — which focused on the new information age — was just one way the school continued to improve. "We improved qualitatively and quantitatively. We had a quality faculty which translated into yet higher standards for the school," said Blaise Cronin, dean of the School of Library and Information Science. "We were definitely on the right trajectory." Preparing for a concert directed by Professor David Baker, a student band member practices on the trumpet.

Realizing how difficult it was to maintain these positions, the faculty worked continuously to improve and update the school's current programs. Professors and administrators introduced new programs with the ultimate goal of recruiting and keeping top students. "More recently, we have changed the curriculum in every department in the school, have a world class placement unit that emphasizes career planning, are moving into skills development and assessment seriously, have internationalized the business concentrations and have a huge community service program," said Joseph Waldman, chairman of the undergraduate program. In addition, the school introduced a program focusing on direct admission. Traditionally, the School of Business admitted only students with a sophomore or junior standing. Because of this late admittance policy, administrators felt they lost top students to universities which admitted students at the freshman level. In an effort to keep up with its rivals, the school responded by implementing a program that allowed freshmen into the school. The direct admission program allowed Honors Division students into the business school as freshmen. "The direct admission program has brought the school exceptional students, many of whom we would have lost to other business schools," Waldman said. "The quality of these students cannot but have a salutary effect on the courses they enroll in at the business school." In addition to allowing Honors Division students early admittance, the program paired students with ambassadors — older students in the school — who acted as mentors to the new direct admits. Ambassadors, in conjunction with the advising staff, conducted daily information sessions for prospective students. Advisors spoke with the students and their parents about the school, admission requirements and other aspects of the School of Business and the University as a

whole. They also gave group tours, answered questions from a student's perspective and shared personal experiences. The ambassador program also offered functions — pizza parties and alumni lectures — designed to show other sides of the University. Each ambassador was assigned four or five of the estimated 130 direct admits. and were available for one-on-one discussions as often as necessary. Sophomore Sarah Perrone, a direct admit from the program's first year, served as an ambassador to other direct admits. She said the program helped new students adjust and focus their first year at a large university. "It's nice to recognize some familiar faces and have someone to ask questions to about such things as scheduling," she said. Early admittance and the ambassador program provided incentives to attend the business school. In the first year, 93 percent of the students offered direct admission chose to come to IU. Administrators estimated only one-third of those students would have attended IU under the old system. "We want to attract the students who have the qualities desired to be successful in the business world," he said. The school recruited top students from around the world. Traditionally, about one-half of the undergraduate students in the business school came from out-of-state. Because the program helped draw students from other states and countries, Waldman said the direct admission program effectively followed the University's hope to attract students from outside Indiana. "This entire program was a nice reward for doing well in high school it was one of the biggest things that attracted me to 1U," Perrone said. junior Matt Winkel, also a direct admit from out-ofstate, agreed. He felt the program permitted him to jump right into the curriculum, allowing him to remain competitive with students from other universities. "They were perpetually making changes to the program to enhance its effectiveness," Winkel said. "This program was available for the motivated students who know what they wanted to major in directly from high school. It was for the focused student.- LI

he typical laments heard from college students about narrow-minded professors, T 30-minute walks to class and a lack of money to go out drinking paled in comparison to the challenges of disabled students on campus. Imagine, for example, relying on someone else to take lecture notes or having to maneuver a wheelchair through the snowy sidewalks on campus. The University responded to the needs of disabled students in various ways to make it possible for them to have an equal opportunity to learn. "For deaf students, physical access was not much of an issue. Physical ability to get around was the problem," said Steve Morris, director of Disabled Student Services and Veterans' Affairs. He said most of the hearing impaired students registered in his office did not have complete hearing loss, but still needed assistance from the University. Some hearing impaired students wore headsets which amplified sound without disturbing others in classes. Blind students, on the other hand, faced another unique set of obstacles. Morris said while getting into a building was not a problem, difficulties occurred when students who used canes walked through the halls. Chairs and tables placed in hallways and aisles caused problems. Once inside the classroom, Morris said students with vision impairments were forced to deal with a unique set of difficulties. "A student may be able to see a professor and those around him, but may not be able to see what was written on a chalkboard or overhead," he said. Getting provisions for notes was important to Morris and his staff. Physically disabled students not only faced challenges in the classroom but also with simple daily activities most students never thought twice about. Don Weller, a doctoral student, said he experienced many problems trying to get around on campus in a wheelchair. "I was going to meet a statistics tutor in East Swain," he said. "There was a stair elevator but I didn't have a key, so I couldn't get up the stairs. I found out that I had to go to the Disabled Student Services Office and pay five dollars for a key. It doesn't make sense that a Ph.D. student can't just go anywhere on campus." Third-year law student Julie Hofius, who also used a wheelchair, agreed with Weller's assess-

ment. She said compared to places like Washington, D.C., IU's handicap accessibility lacked severely. "But compared to other Big Ten schools, it's about average and it's quickly becoming better as the old buildings are renovated — from little things like curb cuts, to big things like lifts and elevators." Hofius, like many disabled students at IU, said the weather and the limited transportation services created big problems with accessibility. She said snow was definitely a problem because IU was slow with clearing ice and snow off sidewalks.

The

was slapped with violations and now they seem to be making the changes happily. Julie HofilL, "Another problem is the van service provided by Disabled Students Services. As IU becomes more accessible, more and more disabled students come to IU, but the van service has not kept up with demand. We need more vans and drivers." Hofius said. Although there were problems, students appreciated the existence of the van service. The service was free and it came right to a student',. door. There were often delays, but students who used the service said it was better than other alternatives such as the city or campus bus. Some of the buildings needed massive renovations before they could be considered accessible. When the older buildings on campus were constructed, the needs of handicapped students was not considered. "The old crescent — Maxwell and Owen Halls — are terrible," Hofius said. "I know there has to a way in Owen Hall because Chancellor (Herman B) Wells has his office there, but I don't know how he gets in.IU received many penalties in past years for not being accessible to all students. In fact, a class action suit was pending against the University in 1997. Legal action and complaints from disabled students prompted the University to renovate nine of the older buildings on campus: the Student Building and Lindley, Maxwell, Rawles, East Swain. Myers, Kirkwood, Owen and Wylie Halls. continued

"Most of the buildings on campus are accessible," Morris said. "But the buildings that have been renovated are significantly improved. Morris said the renovations began in 1991-92 and planned to be completed by 1997. Nevertheless, unforeseeable delays stalled the progress of the renovations and disrupted the university's schedule for completion of the renovations. Reasons for the delay included a fire in the Student Building and funds stalled at the state level for more than a year. Most of the renovations came in the form of restroom improvements, lowered drinking fountains and added ramps and chair lifts to buildings where they did not already exist. Unfortunately, many disabled students found out too late they needed keys for the new chair lifts and pre-existing elevators. "Keys are not needed in most buildings," Morris said. "But you do need a key for some of the new chair lifts and for the elevators in Ballantine Hall and the library." Despite the added inconvenience of getting keys, Hofius said the renovations made a great difference to her. The campus has changed more in the last two years than probably in the past 20 (years). The University was slapped with violations and now they seem to be making the changes happily. Wylie Hall, for example, is great now."

The Education Building, unlike many others on campus, was equipped with electrical doors that make them more accessible. Housing also posed problems for disabled students both on and off campus. Many dorms and off-campus apartments did not have elevators, ramps or chair lifts. For Weller, the University provided assistance in finding appropriate housing. "The University was fairly helpful," Weller said. "They found me a real nice apartment in Tulip Tree. At that time, it was the only apartment for an electric wheelchair. It had a roll-in shower. Unfortunately, it would almost have been cheaper to build a house than live there." Even with improvements in the campus and housing, Weller said the University would only be truly accessible when all students had equal access to all buildings. "That a person with limited hand movement has to go in the main library on a Big Ten campus and use a phone for assistance is ignorance on the part of the University," Weller said. "It's in direct contradiction with the Disabilities Act and the Rehabilitation Act of 1976. " "I think the University has to look at the way they treat people with disabilities," he said. "Whether they are physical or learning disabilities, (administrators) need to offer more support"

Raymer

s the country watched President Richard Nixon resign from office Aug. 9, 1974, Steve Raymer was 'n Cambodia, wounded by the Khmer Rouge while on assignment for National Geographic magazine. Following a shipment of food from northern California to Cambodia, Raymer was photographing monks praying over the food when the Khmer Rouge — Communists who tried to take over Cambodia at the time — shot at the monks. Raymer found himself caught in the crossfire. With a shrapnel wound in his lower back, the French Red Cross attended to his wounds and air-lifted him out of the area. Raymer, an assistant professor of the School of Journalism, visited 80 countries in his 23 years with National Geographic. For just one assignment in 1985, "Opium and the Opium Poppy: the plant for good and evil," he visited 22 countries. Raymer became involved in journalism at an early age. He grew up in Beloit, Wis., a town about the size of Bloomington, where his father worked as editor of the town's newspaper. "I can remember at the age of five, my dad was going to a fire on the Beloit College campus, and I persuaded him to take me," Raymer said. "It was a big deal for me." He said his dad had high expectations, but was willing to offer assistance anytime it was needed. This must have rubbed off on Raymer, whose 19-year-old daughter Katelynn described her father in the same manner. "He sets really high standards," said the University of Wisconsin-Madison junior. "We're not supposed to get Bs, we're supposed to get As. But he's not harsh. He's very caring. He'll sit down with you and help you with your homework if you're having trouble." Katelynn added that her father's demanding nature might also stem from paying his own way through college and graduate school by working at newspapers and a stint in the army. He earned his Master's degree from the University of Wisconsin and worked for The Wisconsin State Journal. A former boss from the newspaper became a photo editor for National Geographic, and Raymer speculated this man showed his work to someone there. In 1972, after only a year of working at the paper, Raymer interviewedwith

National Geogluphic.

During his interview, Raymer confessed he only shot about 30 rolls of color film in his life. But Bob Gilka, director of photography for the magazine, quickly snapped, "No problem. We can make pictures any damn color we want." Raymer recalled Gilka saying. "We're hiring you for the

way you see and the way you think." With that, Raymer was shot into a career world he described as "a fierce baptism under fire that gave new meaning to the term 'on the job training.' " Raymer's experience led him to an assignment he remembered as one of his best. May 1, 1990, at Red Square in Russia, more than 200,000 pro-democracy demonstrators gathered to demand democracy from former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev. During the demonstrations, Raymer took one of his most famous photographs of a Russian general glaring at a protester. The photo won several prestigious awards in the World Press Photo Contest and the National Press Photo Contest. Raymer drew on his experiences atNational Geographic and in the Vietnam War to join Jack Smith of ABC News and Paul Martin of National Geographic in 1997 to write

Land of the Ascending Dragon: Rediscovering Vietnam.

Raymer said the book examined what happened to postwar Vietnam. "This is one place you thought you'd never want to go back to. We're just three guys who were vets at 20 and have now fallen in love with this country," Raymer said. "(The Vietnamese) have really put the war behind them better than (Americans) have." Ready to pass on his knowledgeto others, Raymer joined the School of Journalism in 1995. Trevor Brown, dean of the School of Journalism, said Raymer was always upbeat and enthusiastic about his job as a professor. "I've always found him to be a most stimulating, interesting, well-rounded guy," Brown said. "tie's not just interested in photography, he's traveled so much he has a built-in interest in what goes on in the world. "He sets very high standards for photojournalism, and sometimes t hat's a bit painful for students." Raymer said he was tough on people who wanted to be photojournalists because success often came quite early in the field. "There's no substitute for being there in picture journalism. I was (National Press Photographers Association) Magazine Photographer of the Year before I was 30," he said. Despite his die-hard attitude toward photojournalism, Raymer had a softer side. Family played an important role in his life. When Raymer was away on assignment for an extended period of time, he often took Katelynn and his 15-year-old daughter Susanna with him. "He works really hard and is one of the best in his profession," Katelynn said. a

s they arrived in their bare feet and white uniforms, students lined up A according to the color of their belts. Lighter colors stood at one end and bowed to those with darker belts. This ancient ritual was a sign of respect for those who achieved a level of mastery these students one day hoped for. The bow was followed by a minute of relaxation aimed at calming the mind in order to focus on learning the art of self-defense. Unknown to most students, IU offered one of the largest martial arts program in the country, and instructors expected the program to grow in the future. "When I first started here in 1967, we only offered two or three sections of Judo. Now we have somewhere between seven and eight hundred students a semester," said Don Burns, Martial Arts Coordinator for the School of Health, Physical Education and Recreation. Because the martial arts program was so large, it could offer opportunities not available through the smaller programs. Students, for example, had the opportunity to advance from a beginner's white belt to a black belt in Karate, T'aekwondo or Hap Ki Do in the same time it took to earn a degree from the University. In the mid-1980s, the University struggled to find qualified martial arts teachers. Because of a limited number of advanced followers of the martial arts, many instructors possessed only a green belt, a level just above beginner. As the popularity of the discipline and size of the program grew, so did the quality of instruction. Ten years later, no one below a black belt taught even at the beginning levels. "When a student signs up for one of our classes, they know they've got an instructor who has got a lot of experience, who's very professional," Burns said. Although safety issues concerned many, students became involved in the martial arts for other reasons. Burns said many people who initially took a martial arts class for safety reasons quickly found there was more to the martial arts than just self-defense.

Senior Nick Shaw began taking martial arts courses when he was a junior. By the end of his senior year, he earned a red belt in T'aekwondo and a blue belt in Hap Ki Do. "I joined for the fun, but it's also extremely aerobic," he said. In class, instructors taught the fundamentals of kicking, punching, striking and blocking. Each move was repeated until it became second nature to the students. Freshman Rachel O'Brien, a green belt in T'aekwondo, said instructors taught the traditional form of moves until everyone mastered it. Only after everyone mastered a move would instructors move onto something else. According to Burns, Hap Ki Do was the best class in which to enroll if students were interested in safety issues and self-defense. Hap Ki Do, perhaps one of the most violent of all the martial arts, had no rules for fighting. "In self-defense, there is no coming in second place," he said."If you're in second place, that means you're the one in the hospital, you're the one that's dead, you're the one who's raped." Although the potential for a great deal of violence existed, Hap Ki Do had one of the strongest codes of nonviolence. Because most students had very little or no exposure to martial arts prior to taking a class, instructors began with the basic moves and advanced to more complicated combinations of turns, kicks and punches. By the end of the

132 Academics

semester, students were properly prepared to defend themselves if ever attacked. "I would definitely be more prepared than I was before I took the class, though I could still get creamed," O'Brien said. Kicking and punching, however, were not the only things taught in each class. In addition to the moves, instructors emphasized the philosophy, mental preparedness and meditative states essential to the study of Karate, T'aekwondo and Hap Ki Do. "When you study martial arts for any amount of time, you realize that the self-defense aspect — the kick, the punch, the block and the strike — are not as important as you thought when you first began," Burns said. Shaw and O'Brien both appreciated the wellrounded program. But they noticed that there was not as much of the philosophical aspects of the martial arts taught in the beginning level classes as there was in the intermediate and advanced-level classes. As part of this education, students who wanted to receive black belts, for example, had to write a paper about kunja, a Korean term for gentleman, wise man or person of virtue. The paperrequired students to address what it meant to be a virtuous person and how it applied to the martial arts and to everyday life. continued

After learning the moves and the philosophy of a particular form of martial art, students were encouraged to find a balance between the often violent nature of martial arts and codes of nonviolence. As students learned to defend themselves, and possibly even hurt someone else, instructors also taught them how to avoid a fight. They stressed having the mental discipline to realize when the action of self-defense ended and became attack. Burns said as students learned to balance the physical and philosophical aspects of martial arts, they learned self-confidence. "There's a lot of carryover from what you learn in the martial arts into everyday life," he said. "The ultimate goal of martial arts is the development of character."

David Baker heads Jazz Department

As a trumpet player waits offstage, Baker conducts his student jazz band at the Musical Arts Center during the spring semester. The band performed six concerts over the course of the academic year, and gave students an opportunity to show-off their talents to the campus and the community.

s a young man living in Los Angeles in the a 1950s, David Baker faced a difficult decision. Having a limited budget, he had to choose whether to eat lunch or use his money for bus fare to the local musician's union. More often than not, he chose the bus so he could practice the trombone. Love for music drove Baker to make the sacrifices necessary to become a great musician. In addition to being the chair of the jazz department and a professor of music for 30 years, Baker was also known as a world renowned composer and musician. If these accomplishments were not enough, he also acted as conductor and musical director of the Smithsonian Orchestra. David Nathaniel Baker, Jr. was born in Indianapolis as the effects of the Depression settled in. Like many families during the Depression, life was not always easy, but he does not remember ever going without food. A large network of family and friends looked out for one another, making sure nobody went hungry. When thinking back on the closeness that existed in his community, he thought of the old African adage, "it takes a village to raise a family." "Most young black and white kids growing up in the 1930s and 40s were raised by the whole neighborhood," said Baker. "At that time if you got into trouble, before you got home, one of your neighbors would have already reported you to your dad. If your neighbors spanked your butt, your father did it again when you got home." Baker taught students and his own children about knowing what was expected of them and taking responsibility for their own mistakes. He said he believed in the biblical adage in the Old Testament that sparing the rod only spoils a child. "You have to hold kids to an exacting standard. They want somebody to care enough to make them do what they're supposed to do," he said. "And I think we as a people have moved away from the exacting standards that at one time motivated us. Kids respect having somebody tell them to be here on time and be here neat and clean and ready to go." Baker applied this philosophy of respect to his music and said he never played anywhere without wearing a coat and tie. "I respect the music and I expect the people I play with to respect the music, and one of the ways you show respect for the music is to bring a decorum to the music." Because his parents were not musically inclined, he always wondered what directed him toward music. Nevertheless, Baker began his musical career by learning how to play tuba in junior high. Despite being told he had no musical

talent, he continued to practice. While at Crispus Attucks High School, Baker's band instructor suggested he change to the trombone. He continued playing while attending Indiana University in the early 1950s. Baker was a student at a still segregated IU and lived at Mays House, a small hoarding house where blacks could stay while going to school. He paid for his room and board by playing music at dances and other social gatherings each weekend. It was during Baker's time as a student that IU's policies concerning race relations changed dramatically. Baker credits the integration of the campus to one man — Chancellor Herman B Wells. He not only eliminated all segregated facilities on campus, he also decreed that any town establishments that would not serve blacks would not serve any IU students. "You cannot overstate the importance of Dr. Wells at Indiana University," said Baker. "He is probably the most important figure in the continued evolution of IU."

Students appreciated the opportunity to work with a world-renowned jazz musician. Right: Standing proudly with his students, Baker bows to a standing ovation after a performance at the Musical Arts Center. He bowed in the same manner at the end of every concert as a way of including the band and acknowledging the audience. Baker said the way he dresses for and acts at concerts was his way of expressing his respect for the music. Opposite page: As seen from the catwalks, Baker waits for his introduction before walking on stage. Because Baker's introductions often lasted a long time. One of Baker's accomplishments included acting as conductor of the 1996 Olympic Orchestra in Atlanta.

In honor of Chancellor Wells, Baker premiered a piece of music he wrote entitled "Wells Spring" in 1995. Baker's deep respect for Dr. Wells was evident in the title of the final movement of the composition, entitled "Citizen of Old Ili, Citizen of the World." After his time at IL:, Baker received the Dizzy Gillespie Scholarship so he could attend Linnocks University. Baker not only received the scholarship, but Gillespie became Baker's mentor as well as a lifelong friend. At Linnocks University, he met legendary music theorist and composer George Russell. After knowing Baker for only a short period of

time, Russell asked him to play trombone in a sextet he formed. The group went on to make several albums and gain critical acclaim. In 1962, Baker gained personal recognition by winning the "New Star Award" from Dou'u Beat magazine for his performance on the group's first album entitled Jazz in the Space Age. Shortly after this new found fame, Baker discovered his jaw muscles were deteriorating from a car accident he was involved in during the late 1950s. Without knowing it, he had been playing his instrument with a dislocated jaw since the accident and the injury put a strain on the muscles on one side of his face. continued

Once again, Baker made another difficult decision — whether to live a normal life by switching to a different instrument, or to play through the pain and risk serious injury to his jaw muscles. He decided he could experience the same level of enjoyment from music through another instrument. After trying the piano and bass, Baker settled on the cello. During the time he changed instruments, Baker also made the decision to return to IU as a professor. In his office in the School of Music, Baker was often found helping students with their education. Graduate student Darryl Roenike, a pianist who transfered to IU in order to play with Baker in 1994, said Baker knew how to get students to reach their full potential and gave advice lasting a lifetime. "Professor Baker is a nice guy and provides students the most relaxing atmosphere in which to play," he said.

After his days of playing the trombone ended, Baker extended his musical endeavors to composing. He applied the same amount of determination and dedication to composing and became recognized more as a composer than a performing musician. His wife and fellow musician for eighteen years, Lida, originally met Baker as while she was an undergraduate student. Seeing him as a teacher and performer, Lida was amazed at Baker's ability to relate to people at all levels. "He is a very friendly and giving person who knows how to inspire and not discourage his students," she said. Besides keeping busy with writing new compositions and teaching, he regularly played at Bear's Place Thursday nights with the Jazz Fables. Baker planned to retire from his position as Chair of the Jazz Department in 1998 and said he would continue playing and composing.

leading IU into the next century administrator g un University from behind the scenes by Meredith Bledsoe With a student body of nearly 35,000 at the Bloomington campus alone, the administration kept busy with everything from balancing budgets to implementing new and improved academic programs. The administration faced controversy as students began taking a stronger role in their education and the running of the University.

Chancellor Herman B Wells pilling off Chancellor Herman B Wells' massive desk, a number of lifetime mementos of distant travels and S friends from around the world decorated his spacious office. Always gracious to his visitors, Wells told the story of one particular gift he received. The small stone head of Buddha was a remnant of Alexander the Great's expedition party when it crossed the Himalayas. Celebrating his 95th birthday in June and the 65th anniversary of his presidency, Herman B Wells remained a campus legend. Not only was he the University's 12th president for 25 years, he was also credited for desegregating the campus, leading the University through the "educational blackout" after World War II and named chancellor in 1965. Although confined to a wheelchair because of his arthritis, Chancellor Herman B Wells remains a favorite of IU students and alumni. He received his fifth Sagamore of the Wabash, Indiana's highest award, in June. Photo by Matt McClain.

g he biggest challenge is to keep people motivated and happy in their jobs in spite of pay increases which barely match inflation. We try to do this by rotating people in a way that gives them some variety in their responsibilities. While I would put the dedication of our staff at a level comparable to any department in the university, I also know that they work to live, not live to work. We try to be empathetic to the demands family life can place on them and try to provide a professional environment that allows them to find the right balance in their lives." — Steven Miller

uring the course of the year, I attend a number of student sponsored events. They are always enjoyable and often very educational. Two events come to mind. The first was a program sponsored by a student organization called Mosaic. It is an organization that explores the concerns and needs of bi-racial students. Those participating spoke of their experiences being forced to select a single racial classification or being excluded from one or another racial group when their own family background included both cultures. Some students in a bi-racial marriage also attended and talked about issues involved in raising their children."

all pines nearly covered the small house which held the Student Academic Center. T Inside, stacks of binders and books about almost every subject taught at the University littered spacious offices. An open, welcoming atmosphere dominated the building where students in need of academic assistance could find the individual attention they needed. "The Student Academic Center's basic premise is to help all students succeed — to reach their academic potential," said Dr. Sharon Chertkoff, Outreach and Services Coordinator. Administrators at the center accomplished this by offering both workshops and courses for credit. IU was unique because it allowed academic support course credits to count toward a bachelor's degree as a general elective credit, Chertkoff said. Most universities required a fee for additional academic support or did not allow credits to count toward a degree. I learned how to budget my time and balance the time I spend studying with the time I spend doing the things I really want to do. Krista

Courses focused on developing skills necessary for academic success. These classes — Managing Resources for Learning, Critical Reading and Questioning, College and Life-Long Learning and Reading Effectiveness — were offered as eight or 16-week classes and carried up to three credits. The center also developed courses in conjunction with professors of classes students often had trouble with. A series of semester-long, two credit classes was linked to introductory level history, political science, psychology and biology professors. The classes, taught by a graduate student, helped students learn effective note-taking, textbook reading, time management and exam preparation techniques specifically for that class. In addition to classes geared for the entire student population, the center also offered classes for different groups. Freshmen in the Minority Achievers Program, a scholarship program, were required to enroll in a course specially designed for them. continued

The course focused on helping students in three areas: critical reading and thinking, learning skills and adjustment to college life. Students engaged in exploring what it was to learn while identifying their strengths and weaknesses. "The administration of the Minority Achiever's (MAP) felt that our students would benefit a specifically designed course that would help them truly understand the dynamics of a University like IU," said Gwendolyn Paulk, associate director of MAP. Classes were also available for transfer students. While it was not required, a course was offered for those students interested. "We have a course for reinstated students. (The course) is geared to help them do a lot of reflective work about what transpired in the past," Chertkoff said. The Student Academic Center also held workshops for students who did not want to enroll in an additional course or who needed academic assistance only in a specific area such as goalsetting. "(The Workshops) cover a broad spectrum of topics," Chertkoff said. Administrators held the workshop series, entitled "College and Life-Long Learning" weekly and they followed a sequential order. They covered everything from forming study groups to improving essay test performance. The Center also offered course-specific instruction. Because many majors required foreign language classes,the center introduced a series of foreign language workshops designed for every level of the language courses. The first of these workshops helped students make the transition between high school and college level language classes. Later workshops targeted students in higher level classes, helping them make the most of their reading and writing skills. The Center was one of three contributors of the

154 Academics

Briscoe Academic Center. The first of its kind in a dorm, the center offered academic assistance to students from 7:00 p.m. to midnight Monday through Thursday. "We operate during the daylight hours. Unfortunately most students study at night, so we decided to take our services to them," Chertkoff said. One of the most valuable services the center offered was the individualized Academic Assessment and Assistance program which helped students assess academic strengths and weaknesses. Students interested in making these assessments took the Learning and Study Strategies Inventory (LASSI). The test examined several areas of learning skills — time management, test taking, information processing, selecting main ideas and concentration. Administrators then attempted to interpret the LASSI to the student and tried to come up with an individualized plan and to implement changes, Chertkoff said. Junior Krista Olson took the test when she began to feel overwhelmed by classes, work and extra-curricular activities. "I knew I needed to improve, but I didn't know exactly how," she said. "I took the test and they sat down with me and we evaluated how I spent my time. I learned how to budget my time and balance the time I spend studying with the time I spend doing the things I really want to do." Chertkoff said one of the most important steps students could take to succeed academically was to become an active learner. This included coming to class with questions, reading material prior to class and reviewing lecture notes. "There's not just one thing succeeding academically. There are no quick fixes," she said. "You must become totally involved in your learning — physically, mentally and emotionally:LI

don't know if I consider myself academically talented," junior Anna Gercas said with a laugh, despite her high GPA, ambitious sets of double majors, double minors and her Wells scholarship status. The scholarship included four years of paid tuition, a room-andboard stipend, one paid year abroad, two mandatory classes and dinners with visiting scholars from across the country. During her freshman and sophomore years, she changed her major from math to physics to philosophy of science. Gercas finally settled on a major and planned to graduate with degrees in Italian and comparative literature, with a minor in math and a certificate in journalism. Gercas first realized she was smarter than her classmates when she was in first grade. The principal and several teachers sat down with her parents and said she should be in third grade. With that, she skipped a grade and went directly into third. "I guess when she was three years old she started drawing her own mazes. She started reading at three-and-ahalf. She could write her name by then too," said her mother Jeanne. She was alone a lot as a child. "We moved eight times before I was in first grade — from Minnesota to California to Iowa to Michigan to Indiana. Also, Fm an only child. I read a lot and wrote a lot," she said. Gercas's family finally settled in Carmel, Ind. where she attended Carmel High School and participated in the speech and debate team and was editor of the school newspaper. "I was very busy," she said. Being editor of the paper took a big chunk of time so she didn't study as much then as she did while at IU. She set aside more time for studying and found which methods worked best for her in college, depending on her mood. At times, she studied best in her apartment where it was quiet, and other times she would study at cafés where she could see others studying. In addition, she said she tried to run every morning and study in the morning. "She had to work hard, but early on she developed a good memory. She has a natural interest in scholastic subjects. We're often struck that she's as good as she is in as many things as she is," said her father Ed. Relieving stress for many students meant drinking a sixpack or becoming glued to the couch, but Gercas shed tension by running, playing the piano and writing in her journal. "Running helps because it's not mental — it's purely physical. Piano's the same way. It's intuitive; it

profile By Kim Kelble breaks the logical mode. Writing just helps by being a release — it's expression." Gercas continued to involve herself in extracurricular activities at IU. She was on the speech team for two years, which she enjoyed, but couldn't devote the necessary time to because the team would often spend several weeks at a time preparing for large compeitions. She was also a member of the Board of Aeons and wrote for several campus publications, including the Indiana Daily Student, LUX, The Ryder and newsletters for the Wells Scholarship office. The activity Gercas found most exciting was a mentor ng program called Bloomingkids. The program paired 12 college students with at-risk first-graders from the Bloomington area. The students and children participated in local activities, such as the recycling program. This was the first year the program became actively involved in the community. "I feel lucky to be involved," Gercas said. "It's really great to have been involved since the program first started in fall 1995. I've seen both the administrative side and the volunteer side." One experience which helped Gercas realize her abilities and believe in herself was spending the summer of 1996 in Florence, Italy. She said she spent a lot of time reading, thinking, and experiencing challenging situations. Gercas cited her trip to Florence as one of the greatest times in her life. "It's hard to describe without the clichés about how romantic and beautiful it was. I traveled seven days on my own. It was a time for discovery, exploration, wandering, and wonderment. It was ground-breaking for me." Because she enjoyed her time in Italy, she decided to take more Italian classes, and eventually major in Italian. "I decided on taking Italian as my foreign language my freshman year because I took Latin in high school and I wanted to take a language I could speak that was like Latin," she said. It was going to Florence, however, which convinced her to include Italian as a primary course of study and to go to Bologna for her Wells-sponsored year of study abroad. After spending her fourth year of school in Bologna, Gercas planned to return to IU for a fifth year to finish her studies — at her own expense. "We're not just proud of her for her academic achievements, we're also proud of her for being a talented, sensitive young lady," Jeanne said.

In another, red and black-figure pottery decorated with warriors from Greece filled the exhibition cases and the crumbled marble faces of ancient leaders stared out at the spectators from atop pedestals. Since 1941, the Indiana University Art Museum grew to house over 35,000 objects including: paintings, sculptures, prints, drawings, jewelry, textiles and photographs. The displays represented nearly every art-producing culture throughout history said Associate Director for Administration, David Carroll.

"Some (art works) are purchased from past directors, and others are donated," he said. "For example, this year, we received a piece purchased and donated by Dr. Wells — a vessel by Magdalene Odundo, which was part of a show, 'Ceramic Gestures: New Vessels by Magdalene Odundo'" The galleries not only a showcased famous names, but aspiring artists as well. Each year, the museum had M.F.A Thesis Shows for master of fine arts students in the Henry Radford Hope School of Fine Arts. The 1997 exhibits included paintings by graduate students Ina Park, Daisy Yi-ky Siu and Julie Anderson, and printmaking by graduate student Daniell Urschel. This offered student the opportunities to gain exposure in their fields. Students weren't the only ones who had a chance to participate in the museum. Associate professor Claude Cookman of the School of Journalism organized an exhibit of "The People's America Farm Security Administration Photographs from 1935 to1943." These photos were taken for the purpose of showing the need for government programs and record life in rural and urban America during the Great Depression.continued

"It grew out of a course (J560) that I taught last fall in the tradition of social documentary photography. And the Farm Security Administration was the heart of the course," he said "As part of the course I wanted students to work in the collection with original prints." With Curator of Prints and Photographs Nan Brewer, Cookman sorted through the 800 prints existing in the museum's Henry Holmes Smith Archive. From there, he chose 25 photographs for an exhibit April 2-May 25. "They like as a museum to work with faculty. and have the collection used, but this was especially good from (the museum's) point of view because it allowed an important part of the collection that had never been shown to get a public exhibition," said Cookman For many, the museum offered a haven from the bustling campus with a quiet place to study. view works of art and chat with friends at a popular coffee bar. And in the evenings, concerts and shows often echoed off the museum's 110 foot atrium. Each performance correlated an artist's work to that of other art forms during that time period. "The concerts tie literature, music and art together," said Carroll. Folk songs and readings of John Steinbeck accompanied an exhibition of W.P.A. photographs and Early Music professor Paul Hiller conducted his chamber orchestra to the drawings of Venetian draftsman Dominico Tipelo. Whether people were attending an exhibition premiere, sipping a cup of coffee, or just strolling through between classes, students, faculty and Bloomington residents enjoyed the opportunities of the IU Art Museum.

piano concerto accompanied a collegeaged couple as they argued whether to A move the guy's tattered orange chair from her place to his. But behind the guise of the chair was the bigger issue of whether the couple would stay together or break up. The argument ended as he deserted her. Although romantic break-ups were an everyday reality for many students, this particular one was unique fiction for junior Eric Tao. It took the form of an independent study film class which included a new factor — synchronized sound. In response to the growing number of students like Tao who requested sync–sound film production experience, the Film Studies Department created F301/F501, an intermediate 16mm film production class which included sync sound with color film. The class would debut in the spring of 1998. The intermediate class accommodated eight to nine students for the initial class, and would probably be taught every third semester, said Susanne Schwibs, instructor and senior producer/director of Instructional Support Services. The prerequisite was F300/F500, an introduction to film production and authorization from Schwibs. The mission of the new courses was to explore film production past the F500 level, she said. "We will investigate the variety of possibilities with sound," Schwibs. "The class will also come up with a number of scenes and work on ways to stage them using dialogue." The class was arranged by dividing students into three teams. Each team rotated the positions of director, cinematographer and audio operator, she said. Initiated in 1990, F300/F500, the only film production class, taught the basics of 16 mm film production. including camera operation, lighting

and visual story-telling, Schwibs said. Students produced both personal and group silent films. But post-F500 students sought more experience involving sync-sound production, said Professor Barbara Klinger, film studies program director. These students were forced to petition for money and faculty sponsorship to undertake independent study projects such as Tao's, Klinger said. -Having F301/F501 will help us accommodate students interested in more advanced film production courses, and lessen the necessity for them to have to petition for special permission to pursue independent study projects," she said.

We will investigate a variety of possibilities with sound. The class will also come up with a number of scenes and work on ways to stage them using dialogue.

Susanne Schwibs Paola Voci, a doctoral student studying Chinese, supported the introduction to F501. Enrolled in F500, Voci said creativity was possible with F500 technology, but the projects were a challenge to write and shoot without sound. Although she was pleased with her personal five minute silent F500 film about a character who slowly comes to grips with the idea of being a puppet, she was intrigued by F501's offerings. She said she would be out of the country the next time the course was offered, if given the opportunity to take F501, she would take advantage of the sound component by filming documentaries, a genre often ignored by film-production students. "I'm interested in documentaries and nonfiction film because there is so much done and said about fiction already," Voci said. continued

Student dreams like Voci's were possible through a flatbed editor donated by Instructional Support Services. This critical piece of equipment allowed sound to be synchronized with the action on film, Schwibs said. The athletic department was also partly responsible for making the intermediate class possible. It formerly used film to analyze plays, but switched to the more cost-effective medium of video. For a nominal fee, the film studies department was able to acquire more 16 mm cameras for its burgeoning program. In addition to the possible development of an advanced film production course which would allow longer, more complex films and

specialization in areas such as digital editing, cinematography and screenwriting, Klinger said she hoped the film program would continue to grow. "Given the enormous student interest we have seen in 16 mm film production here at TUB, I think the film program will continue building resources in this area and complementing the courses it offers in film history, criticism, and theory with an increasing number of production courses," she said. "When the film industry is open to new independent talent, the skills a student learns in college may serve them extraordinarily well in later attempts to get into the industry or to pursue more independently-oriented careers in the media."

s soon as they reached the large cornfield, students began to remove a A large plastic tarp covering their work from the previous day. When it was removed, a large hole in the ground revealed evidence of an ancient Native American civilization living in Greene County nearly five centuries ago. Students in Anthropology P405 class gained valuable archeological experience while earning college credit. Students arrived at the site by 9 a.m. Monday through Friday and worked six to seven hours a day carefully removing and examining the fragile artifacts they uncovered. Because of the delicate nature of the artifacts, students spent a large amount of time and care digging them out of the ground.

history. By the end of the class, they are very knowledgeable.

"By the end of the day, I am very tired it's pretty much all I do," said junior Nicole Figley. Students searched for and collected evidence providing clues to how Native Americans in the region lived. They looked not only for man-made artifacts, such as projectile points and pottery, but also other evidence of the lives of the Native Americans. Discoloration of the soil in certain patterns, for example, showed where wooden posts, charred to strengthen a structure's foundation, were set into the ground. Students looked for other tangible artifacts including tiny bits of charcoal, animal bone fragments and mollusk shells. They also searched for fire-cracked rocks — normal stone with a distinctive color because it was heated and used to boil water. Although open to all students, instructors said those best suited for the class were people who enjoyed being outdoors and people who were able to maintain focus and could see into the past. "It's my favorite class to teach because you are with people all the time. Most people come in with little knowledge of Indiana history. By the end of the class, they are very knowledgeable," said Leslit. Bush, a pre-history and research fellow and associate instructor for the course. coniemted

The people of tills ancient civilization would have left a more distinctive mark if they stayed in the same place for a longer period of time. These villages, established only long enough to leave traces of their existence, were overlapped by later groups of people. Because these societies were partly based on agriculture, they moved on to other areas as the soil became depleted of its valuable nutrients. "They did not have the benefit of domestic animals, like cows, which we can use for fertilizer, so villages moved from place to place," said Field Director Stephen Ball. This complicated the students' ability to establish a clear time line outlining who inhabited the area at the time a structure was thought to have existed. Carbon dating was not accurate enough to distinguish which artifacts were at the site first. "The reason radioactive carbon dating is not as precise as we would like for our site is because it's a statistical method," Bush said. "We have two

different groups at about the same time and because of the margin of error, its hard to tell what belongs where." The primary goal of the class was to offer students first hand experience collecting artifacts on an actual dig. Students came away from the course qualified to be a field technician and to work on other archeological digs. It might be something I want to pursue later," Figley said "I would feel confident enough to get a job right after this.Students documented their finds, cleaned the artifacts and entered the information into the Glenn Black database during the second summer session. Instructors expected a formal report on the findings of the dig to be published approximately one year after the digging was complete. "I don't think we will know a whole lot until we excavate everything," Figley said. "I'm excited to be a part of something that's going to be written up about later." LI

Union Board from singers to comedians

Delivers ithout any lengthy car trips to Indianapolis, Cincinnati or W Louisville, students visited several venues around campus to see a wide variety of performers. Union Board brought IU a myriad of big name shows during the 1996-1997 school year. Students laughed at Second City, an impro-visational comedy troupe from Chicago, and enjoyed the alternative band Smashing Pumpkins. Several solo artists ranging from the legendary Bob Dylan to the talented Harry Connick, Jr. also entertained students. Entertainers performed in an array of locations from the Alumni Hall to the Auditorium to Assembly Hall.

Harry Connick, Jr. Clad in a black tank top and tight black jeans, Harry Connick, Jr. stood in front of the crowd at the IU Auditorium. Prancing around the stage like a child. Connick entertained the audience with his funk band and Sinatraesque voice. The concert was part of the cross-country tour promoting his funk album, Star 7nrtle. But to appease the fans of his big band days, Connick sat down at his piano on a darkened stage and played a quiet "Autumn in New York" from the When Harry met Sally soundtrack. After this peaceful interlude, Connick stood center stage and announced in his New Orleans drawl, "This will be the last time you all will be sittin' down tonight." The singer brought the audience to their feet with songs from his new album, Star Turtle, as well as his last funk album, She. Audience members danced in the aisles to songs like "(I Could Only) Whisper Your Name," and "Hear Me in the Harmony."

Connick's vagabond crew of band members — wearing vests, sunglasses and Dr. Seuss hats — jumped about the stage while playing a mix of funk, blues and jazz. Causing mischief was on the agenda of the boyish crooner, who invited the audience to get out of their seats and come to the front of the stage and dance to his music. The security guards with panic-stricken faces attempted to control the rush of hundreds of eager fans to the stage. After all seemed to be in order, Connick, with guitar in hand and in the middle of a song, leapt into the cheering crowd. Fans mobbed Connick as he trekked across the auditorium. Audience members stood on top of their seats to get a better look at the singer and eventually, the auditorium lights had to be turned on for the security guards to rescue Connick. Looking a bit shaken, he quickly composed himself and returned to the show. Connick demonstrated his musical abilities not only by singing and playing the piano, but also by showing off some newly acquired instruments. He played the trumpet, drums, bass and guitar — although not always successfully. The sound of his trumpet playing during a rendition of "America the Beautiful" made some audience members cringe and wish for the sound of his voice. For some students, the show didn't end with the last song when Connick made an appearance behind the auditorium. He stuck his head out of a window above the stage door and promised a gathering of groupies that he wanted to meet everyone. He shook hands, signed autographs and joked with about 100 fans. Some asked him about his new baby girl, while others chatted with him about his movie career. True to his word, the singer didn't leave until he had talked to every single person waiting in line.

Bob Dylan An interviewer once asked The Whos' guitarist/songwriter Pete Townshend how Bob Dylan affected his music. Townshend simply replied, it was "like asking how I was influenced by being born.Most of the student body hadn't even been born when Bob Dylan started his career playing small clubs in New York's Greenwich Village. But Nov. 17, Dylan performed for a primaril y student audience at the TIT

Auditorium. It marked the second consecutive year the Union Board booked Dylan, with the 1995 show selling out in 35 minutes. His high ticket sales proved the singer was loved by a new generation of fans. Since releasing his first self-titled acoustic album in 1962, Dylan consistently produced critically acclaimed songwriting. His compositions have been covered by famous artists ranging from Jimi Hendrix to Neil Young. Dylan's harmonica playing, distinctive nasal voice and use of multiple guitar styles, both acoustic and electric, helped ensure a

sold-out first concert.

At the 1996 show, Dylan played several of the same songs as the previous year. As was Dylan's trademark, he played each song differently. Fans who attended previous shows heard a fresh version while newcomers enjoyed a favorite tune. For his opening act, Dylan brought along blues guitarist Kenny Wayne Sheppard who ripped through a powerful set. A different band member served as vocalist, so Sheppard could concentrate solely on his guitar work. But his solid work served as merely a

prelude for the second coming of Dylan. He and his backups opened with a set of five electric songs, including "All Along the Watchtower" and "Watching the River Flow." The show then changed course, as Dylan broke out an acoustic guitar for a rendition of "Mr. Tambourine Man." For it and two subsequent songs, the group performed with special effects lighting on the back curtain. Dylan then "went electric" again for the last three songs, finishing with "Highway 61 Revisited." These final songs didn't conclude the

show, as the audience demanded three encores, including "Like a Rolling Stone" and "Rainy Day Women 12 & 35." For the latter, the house lights came on as the audience sang along to the chorus. And with that, Dylan left the building, though not before fans jumped on stage and

Smashing Pumpkins When the lights finally went down Jan. 18 and the delicate piano strains of "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" began to flow out of the speakers, Assembly Hall was transformed into a sea of lighters. The Smashing Pumpkins took the stage with the lights out and once "Mellon Collie" was finished, launched right into the aggressive "The Aeroplane Flies High (Turns Left, Looks Right)," as the stage came to life. Huge screens on both sides of the stage flashed psychedelic video of a guy in sunglasses, and the drapes behind the stage dropped to reveal a huge scaffolding in the shape of a rocket, from which colored lights radiated throughout the room. For the next two and a half hours, the Pumpkins wreaked havoc on the crowd, exacting a sonic assault that left thousands with their ears ringing. The band proved the exponential sales of their third album,Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, were justified. Their exhaustive set featured 18 songs, most of which were culled from Mellon Collie, but also included old favorites "Rhinoceros" and "Siva" from their debut album, Gish. Only one full song from 1994's Siamese Dream, "Disarm," was included. Each song in the set was given an extensive treatment – played in its entirety. The longest song in the regular set was "Porcelina of the Vast Oceans." The three encores got progres-sively longer, culminating in an all-out jam which stretched more than 20 minutes and included parts ofSiamese Dream's "Silverfuck." The Pumpkins captivation of the audience was never more obvious than during "Zero," when breaks in the song provided the perfect forum for a sing-a-long as the audience screamed "God is empty-just like me!" Lead singer/guitarist Billy Corgan tuned the show slightly for the IU audience. He dedicated a song to "anyone who has ever

been yelled at by Bobby Knight," wielding his guitar like an ax and fell to the floor as he began writhing during the guitar solo during the song "x.y.u." Openers Fountains of Wayne brandished their alterna-pop sound earlier in the evening and were well-received by the crowd. The Fountains played some catchy tunes in a well-formed style of jangly pop, including

Stomp A lone figure appeared on the stage, carrying a broom over his shoulder. He began to sweep the floor of the junkyard-like set which was littered with trash cans, oil barrels, old signs and unidentifiable metallic objects. The only sounds audible were his footsteps and the swishing of the broom. In just a few moments though, the random sounds of a single man cleaning turned into a pulsating, rhythmic beat as he was joined by the rest of the cast of Stomp. The sounds of the performance troupe, created in 1991 in Brighton, UK by Steve McNicholas and Luke Cresswell, filled the Auditorium during the sold-out show Jan. 29. With only their bodies, makeshift instruments and occasional grunts, the eight members of Stomp created an innovative 90-minute percussion showcase. Dressed in paintsplattered cut-off pants, T-shirts and combat boots, the performers used brooms, wooden poles, plastic bags, match boxes, plastic and metal trash cans and even paint scrapers to make noise. Stomp was full of smooth transitions and went from a soft-shoe tap dance, when sand was sprinkled across the stage, to an intricate broom-tapping piece when they cleaned up the mess. This morphed into a symphony of dust pans and metal wastebaskets played by several cast members who crawled across the floor to sweep up the remaining sand. One of the most unique sections of the show occurred when three cast members waddled out of the wings carrying sinks full of water strapped around their necks like drummers in a marching band. They banged on the sides of the sink and squeaked with their rubber cleaning gloves. After clinking and clanking with dishes — and splashing water across the stage — they pulled the plugs on their sinks and finally let the water drain out into pails which were used in the next segment. continued

The smallest shuffle of a foot and rustle of a newspaper became a noise-making machine. Even a bag full of trash became a supplier of rhythmic objects. In an amusing piece, cast members fought over discarded plastic bags and empty boxes to see who could create the most interesting rhythm. With body language, facial expressions and a slapstick comedy that was a reminder of the acting style of old silent movies, comedy became an integral part of the show. Just a single glance or shrug could elicit laughter from the audience. Moods changed as quickly as performers walked on and off the stage. A dramatic use of lighting for a more serious piece — where the entire cast danced with long wooden poles — created an eerie effect. Their shadows projected onto the walls of the auditorium during the dance made them appear to loom over the audience. Audience members were not only spectators, but active participators. The cast of Stomp broke down the typical barriers between the audience and the performers. A cast member clapped and motioned the audience to mimic the beats of his clapping. Every so often the cast would take a pause and see if the audience remained on its toes and remembered the rhythms. As the last trash can banged, the audience was left with a simple saying. "Can you feel it?" a cast member said as he disappeared from stage. With ears still ringing from the beats of Stomp, the audience responded with a standing ovation and the sounds of their own whistleB yllsjtei

Counting Crows After opener Fiona Apple ran through most of the songs on her debut release Tida including "Sleep to Dream," the Counting Crows claimed the stage. Adam Duritz, lead singer and songwriter of the California-based band, proclaimed himself the "Rain King," and then sang his way through an 85-minute performance, often providing the audience with his sincere reflections on suffering. The performance consisted mainly of numbers from the group's most recent release Recovering the Satellites. Though Duritz and company played songs from their 1993 debut August and Everything After, the newer

material was the force which drove the concert. The show included some of their harder material from Satellites, including "Angels of the Silences," "Children in Bloom" and "I'm Not Sleeping Anymore." Showing his powerful emotions during "Sleeping," the lead singer gripped the microphone tightly and repeatedly pounded its stand on the stage. Duritz also showed off his anticipated celebrity angst, especially during a slowed rendition of "Mr. Jones," where he twisted the lyrics a hit for a different effect: We all want to be big, big, big stars. But then we have second thoughts.

The band took an extended break from touring to write and record material for Satellites, but began a U.S. tour in October. The second leg of the tour started Jan. 23 in Houston, Texas, and stopped at IU's Auditorium Feb. 20 and continued to Indianapolis March 7.

Second City Six actors created humorous scenarios, contorted their bodies and conversed in strange accents all for the amusement of the crowd. Using no props other than their bodies, Second City made their first visit to IU, performing for about two hours for a mostly student crowd at the Alumni Hall. Union Board brought one of the most famous names in improvisational comedy to campus on Monday, Feb. 17. The troupe performed 20 sketches covering a variety of topics. Some sketches were prepared pieces taken from Second City archives which grew out of improvisations by former troupe members. For example, one sketch saw troupe member Peter Gwinn playing a "go-getter" business man who tested as mentally retarded, complete with all the condescending hand gestures and business clichés. Second City also performed a number of shorter skits, each ending with a quick one-liner. Besides these skits, the group also performed several improvs. In one, they asked a random audience member about her life and made up a song about her on the spot. In other cases, they asked audience members for words which they built scenes – including categories for 'Jeopardy!" and a title for a song. Overall, the skits brought a great response from the audience members. Many were also pleased to learn they could participate in a

free improv workshop with Second City the following day. Everyone who entered their name in a drawing ended up being able to attend the UB-sponsored event. "We were very pleasantly surprised by how wonderful our audience was," Garcia said. He also said the group was willing to perform at IU again. Second City, founded in 1959 as a Chicago improvisational comedy group, expanded to include four touring companies, including one in Toronto. Second City served as a training ground for many comedians who became television and film stars. Bill Murray, Martin Short, Julia LouisDreyfus, Dan Akroyd and Peter Boyle crafted their acting skills at Second City. The current company (Martin Garcia, Peter Gwinn, Brandon Johnson, EJ Peters, Rebecca Sohr and Claudia Wallace) was the third major comedy act booked by the Union Board this year, following stand-up comics Mary Ellen Hooper and David Spade. Full Frontal, IU's own improv troupe who opened at the Second City show, set the precedent for comedy shows at the Indiana Memorial Union. Full Frontal Comedy began with two skits before Second City took stage. "Feedback [to comedy shows] has been very positive, and people are looking for more comedy shows," said Chad Bradford, Director of Comedy for UB. Second City produced equally positive feedback with numerous laughs and cheers from the audience.

John Mellencamp Although some students balked at the astronomical ticket prices for John Mellencamp's return performance to his hometown, others gladly paid for his first concert in Bloomington since 1992. He kicked off a tour promoting his new album, Mr. Happy Go Lucky, in Bloomington from March 2-6 and then moved his show to the rest of the country. The evening's show opened with two bands, Amanda Marshall and local favorite, The Why Store. Both played impressive sets which set a mellow mood in the IU Auditorium. After the opening acts, fans seemed to get impatient as they waited almost 30 minutes for Mellencamp to take the stage of his sold-out show. Strange circus-like calliope music played in the background and added to the audience's agitation. continued

When the singer finally bounded onto the stage with the energy of a teenager, the audience greeted him with a standing ovation and never sat down again during the show. He began the set with "Small Town," an ironic tribute, since the ticket prices of $42.50 and $75.50 didn't quite reflect his small town sensibilities. The singer played a few selections such as "Key West Intermezzo (I Saw You First)" from Mr. Happy Go Lucky, but the rest of his 90-minute concert was a medley of Mellencamp's greatest hits. The audience sang along to every song from "Pink Houses," to "R.O.C.K. in the USA," to "Wild Nights." Mellencamp even played a version of "Jack and Diane," which included a brief rap interlude resulting in some confused audience members. He pulled an eager student onto the stage with him to sing a duet of "Hurts so Good." The student, in his excited state, grabbed the microphone away from Mellencamp and danced around the stage enjoying his moment of stardom. Mellencamp and his band played almost non-stop for the entire show, but when he finally stepped off stage, the audience expected an encore. They clapped, cheered and chanted "We want John" for almost 15 minutes — only to be disappointed when the crew began disassembling the stage. Their hometown hero never returned to the stage, tarnishing the humble, down-to-earth image Mellencamp had created over the years.in

Ethnic Eateries

from Moroccan to Tibetan

Abound in B town amous for IU basketball, a sinking library and fabulous parties come Little f 500 weekend, Bloomington also offered a vast selection of ethnic eateries. This small Midwestern town served students everything from saganaki to wonton soup to sushi. Even with a relatively small population and semi-rural location, Bloomington provided many opportunities to consume ethnic cuisine. A wide selection of restaurants offered students and residents with several dining choices. "You never run out of different places to eat here," senior Leah Williams said. "It's great." Restaurants ranged from exotic to the more common ethnic cuisine including Chinese, Greek, Japanese, Mexican, Irish, Himalayan, Mediterranean, French, Italian and Thai. Only a handful of Tibetan restaurants spotted the country and two were located in Bloomington. The Snow Lion and the Norbu Cafe, owned by family members of the Dalai Lama, offered a menu packed with Tibetan and Thai cuisine. Many restaurant owners who opened ethnic eateries in Bloomington possessed strong desires to keep their individual heritage alive. Jigme Norbu, owner of the Snow Lion said, "I started my restaurant to help preserve the Tibetan culture." The Norbu family maintained strong ties to the Tibetan community because of the Dalai Lama's visits to the campus. Also, two members of the Norbu family planned on being cast in an upcoming film about Tibet.

Norbu believed food was another important way he could help keep the Tibetan culture alive to his family as well as Bloomington. Ethnic restaurants also filled a need by providing diverse cuisine in Bloomington for students, faculty and the community. Mohamed Elbekhty opened Casablanca Cafe, because he said there were no true Mediterranean restaurants. The University population added another incentive to opening a restaurant. Because of the high number of international students, there was a strong need for food and culture from their respective countries. "The diversity of the University population, the students and faculty helps us greatly," Norbu said. The student body helps us, absolutely," said Elbekhty, the owner and chef at the Casablanca Cafe. "A lot of students come in to eat here." With such a large pool of restaurants in a relatively small town, support within the restaurant community was vital for establishments to stay open. The competition among all these great eateries created a challenging market rather than a disadvantage. "Competition is healthy," Yoneko Kojii, manager and owner of Ekimae Japanese Restaurant said. "It promotes good food and good service, and if you have those two things, people will come." Workers, chefs and owners of these establishments often dined at some of the other ethnic eateries.

Full Frontal improv comedy by students

Full of Laughs very Thursday night at the Indiana Memorial Union, crowds gathered to E witness the improvisational humor and wit of a group of creative students. At 8 p.m., Full Frontal Comedy — IU's own comedy troupe — took the stage in the newly renovated IMU Gallery to entertain students with their fresh jokes and skits. Their weekly hour and a half shows often centered around the trials of college life. In January 1995, a small group of students founded Full Frontal Comedy with the help of Matt Hahn, the 1995 Union Board Performing Arts Director. Completely student run. members wrote, directed and acted in the shows themselves. But they also received inspiration from outside sources. "We base a lot of our comedy on the Chicago style," said troupe member senior Gregg Arst. We use both long form and short form to mix it up a bit." The troupe of nine students worked closely with two Chicago groups, ImprovOlympic and Second City, which Arst said influenced Full Frontal Comedy's style. To organize their shows, troupe members picked a director for every show to coordinate the performance for that week. Members also chose a theme for each show which linked all the separate skits together. One show's opener, titled "Luke Skywalker, the college years," portrayed Luke as an independent trying to resist the evil

forces of "the greek side." This theme recurred throughout the show as jokes referred to things such as "the B-bus," "lightsavers" and "IU Sing." "Our opener sets a theme for the whole show," Arst said. "We try to pick something going on campus; something students would know about." Making a connection with students was vital to Full Frontal's brand of humor. They demanded audience participation from students who attended their shows. Troupe members asked audience members to yell out a word, and through various improvisational games, they creatively employed the words into their act. Students enjoyed this chance to get involved in Full Frontal's show. "They use the audience so much, it's slightly different every time," said senior Patty Roder, a veteran of Full Frontal performances. "I really enjoy it." Although the troupe used many of the same games in performances, the diversity°I information the audience supplied made the show fresh each time. Large crowds packed Full Frontal Comedy's performances and this forced some spectators to stand at the back and sides of the IMU Gallery because chairs filled rapidly. "They've been drawing these crowds consistently for a while now," said junior Chad Bradford, Union Board Comedy Director. "I'd say they're very, very popular." continued

With the word about Full Frontal spreading, the group quickly gained popularity. Not only did they perform at IU, but also toured to the University of Illinois in the winter of 1996. In February, they also helped bring the Chicago-based Second City's touring company to perform a show at IU. Full Frontal Comedy acted as an opener for the show, doing a 20minute performance before the assembled crowd at Alumni Hall. "I think this will be great exposure for them," Bradford said. The Second City show simply exposed even more people to the laughs available for students close to campus with Full Frontal Comedy.

said junior Jeremy Baron, a two-year Spoon employee. Numerous small tables were nestled between huge bags of coffee beans and countless plants to accommodate studiers and coffee drinkers. "It's very cozy with great coffee, good food and friendly service," said junior Jason Slota. Along with a wide assortment of specialty coffees, the Spoon also served homemade desserts and sandwiches as well as breakfast. "We have our own bakery in the back and roast our own coffee," Baron said. The Bloomington community and students agreed that the Spoon was an exceptional establishment. According to the Bloomington Voice's 1997 "Best of Bloomington" polls, the Spoon was voted number one in two categories: "best coffee" and "best breakfast." The Spoon drew a diverse crowd with its uniqueness. It was a non-smoking establishment, except for the hack porch, and the only café that offered table service. Students as well as Bloomington residents assembled to play chess (painted chess boards adorned several tables) or to listen to the occasional poetry readings. Another attraction of the Spoon included the bathroom with a bathtub stocked with goldfish. "The fish in the bathtub is a gimmick," said senior Bryan Cogswell. But nevertheless, he supported the Spoon and added that it had "the atmosphere of 'this is college.A smaller coffeehouse, Cappuccino's, sat

"It's a nice place to converse with friends after a long day of classes," said freshman Adam Hile, an avid chocolate coffee drinker. Encore Café contrasted the quiet atmosphere of the Spoon and Cappuccino's with its spacious modern interior and cafeteria-style dining. Serving an assortment of coffee and food including pasta, sandwiches and rich desserts, Encore resembled a restaurant with good coffee rather than a quaint coffeehouse. However, one unique feature of Encore was the Sunday night jazz sessions featuring Community jazz troupes. Even with all of the coffeehouses, students still flocked to coffee bars on campus during the day for a quick caffeine fix. Located in the School of Public and Environmental Affairs atrium and the IU Art Museum, Cona's Espresso Bar provided students and faculty with a variety of beverages. The most popular drinks included the traditional cappuccinos, café mochas, hot chocolates, flavored drinks and Italian sodas. The coffee-to-go cart offered bagels and low fat pastries. Whether students grabbed coffee between classes or lounged for hours at coffeehouses, caffeine fixes remained in high demand.

ounds of laughter and singing voices came from the dressing room as the performers donned their white S habits and black gowns. In the corner, graduate student Bekka Eaton, took one last glance in the mirror. With tiny spectacles and a giant stuffed bra, she put the finishing touches on her costume for her transformation into a dowdy nun, Sister Mary Regina. "Sound check in two minutes," barked the stage manager while she made her way through the dressing rooms. The nuns quietly shuffled onto the stage, some fully costumed, and others half dressed in their street clothes and habits. To an empty theater, the five cast members of the Brown County Playhouse production of "Nunsense" did a quick rehearsal of their tunes and returned backstage to wait for their cue. As audience members began to slowly fill the theater, the actresses gathered in a huddle to wish each other luck. Then, the lights dimmed and the music began and Eaton took her place as a singing, dancing Mother Superior to a group of dysfunctional nuns. A long journey brought MFA acting student Eaton to Brown County's summer playhouse, but then she seems to have been touring for most of her life. The Fairfield, Ohio, native saw most of America with the touring company of Chicago's legendary Second City comedy troupe, as well as her own rock band. Eaton graduated with a undergraduate theater degree in 1981, and shortly after joined the touring company of Chicago's legendary comedy troupe, Second City, and after a year became part of the resident company. It was a turbulent time in the Chicago theater scene, which saw the rise of companies like Steppenwolf. Eaton became part of the cast of a show which moved to OffBroadway in New York. Produced by Chicago's Practical Theater, "Babalooney" did not please the critics. "It was kind of vaudevillian," Eaton said. "(The play) wasn't trying to be the intellectual humor which was hip at the time." At the same time, Eaton's fledgling rock band, The Daves,

By Andrew Moulton and Joan Li found more paying gigs in the Big Apple. Unfourtunately, the band had little time to rehearse as they worked to make ends meet in New York, A member of the group went on a scouting expedition to less-expensive Philadelphia, and an aging hippy took a chance on renting a house to The Daves. Eaton said the band was far from typical. "We were righteous people," Eaton said. "We were almost neurotically responsible." The responsibility showed in a long period of East Coast touring and recording. Eaton said the group practiced what could be called "theatrical rock."Philly's a rough town, and we were a really tough band," Eaton said. "When I look back it was really good arranging, really tight stuff. I sued to think of (the songs) as little movies that make pictures in people's heads, so I didn't really fell like I quit acting." In 1992 Eaton began a new chapter in her career, writing and performing the one-woman show "small, unimportant things" in Philadelphia with a grant from the Independent Performing Artists Program. The show included music, with violin, cello, percussion, guitar and tuba. After closing "things," Eaton decided to return to school, and she said she missed the intense training the program provided. Eaton entered her third year of her master's in the fall of 1997, and her first two years of performances included roles in "Weight of Breath," "Getting Out," "Cabaret," "The Mousetrap," "The Sunshine Boys," "Side By Side By Sondheim," "Kindertransport" and "Mommy Abula's Miraculous Traveling Circus." Eaton also taught undergraduate acting classes while at IU. She said teaching, performing and writing are vitally important in making a good performer, and even her experiences as a rock and roller come back with each new acting challenging. "By accident I ended up being the main song writer in the band," Eaton said. "I would never had known I could do that if it wasn't for that. Writing makes you a good actor, makes you appreciate stories." CI Performing in her role as Sister Mary Regina in the Brown County Playhouse's production of the musical comedy "Nunsense," graduate student Bekka Eaton carried on a tradition of aspiring actors.

Mars Books Out of this from Wilco to the Samples

World Music o other nightclub in this small college town booked several major national music acts to play for its mostly student audience. But Mars Nightclub accomplished this feat. Eight well known artists performed at the club, separating Mars from the rest of the Bloomington music scene. The concert season opened as IU classes started with the Freddy Jones Band hitting Mars Sept. 4. The five-man Chicago group, often compared to the sound of the Dave Matthews Band and Big Head Todd and the Monsters, introduced the first of many acoustic, soft-rock shows. The week of Sept. 23 brought concert-goers two large shows. That night featured modern rock trio Better Than Ezra. The band toured in support of their first major label album, "Friction, Baby," following extensive commercial success for their 1995 album, Deluxe." Just two days later, singer/songwriter Arlo Guthrie took the stage. With a long career, including performances at both Woodstock festivals and 19 studio albums, Guthrie provided a veteran hand to Mars' concert schedule. Best known for late 1960s hits like "Alice's Restaurant" and "Coming into Los Angeles," Guthrie also gained fame as the son of legendary folk singer Woody Guthrie. Guthrie was not the only son of a legendary songwriter to play Mars this year. Jakob Dylan brought his successful band the Wallflowers into town Nov. 19, two days after his father performed at the IU Auditorium. The Wallflowers became one of the year's hottest acts as fans packed Mars' dance floor.

The Wallflowers' third album, "Bringing Down the House" sold numerous copies and collected two Grammy nominations. Mars also booked some acts with local connections, with Wilco Jan. 29 and the Why Store Feb. 5. Wilco's country/rock album "Being There" signaled their emergence as a national name after forming with members of the defunct band Uncle Tupelo, who often toured in Indiana. The Why Store originated in Fishers, Incl. and released three albums since 1993. The February show marked the second straight year the group performed at Mars. Both shows drew large crowds. Feb. 19 saw the arrival of the Keb' Mo' Band. Keb' Mo' began his career acting in Los Angeles community theater, where he often played the role of a blues musician. The experience inspired him to learn guitar, and the country/blues songwriter began recording. To close out the school year, Mars brought the Samples April 30. Lead guitarist and vocalist Sean Kelly with the rest of the band delighted the crowd by playing a variety of songs off their six albums. Mars remained a popular venue for

concerts, a role it held ever since its days as Jake's. Dave Kubiak, the manager of both Mars and the Bluebird, was the man responsible for booking concerts. Both his clubs hosted large numbers of local shows, but Mars booked the big names because "it's just bigger," Kubiak said. "The stage is bigger the facilities are bigger. We also like doing shows at the Bluebird, don't get me wrong." In terms of which hands to book, Mars chose "a lot by prior history of bands that have done well,- Kubiak said. "[We] also look at bands that are selling records in the college market." He named the Freddy Jones Band and the Wallflowers as groups whose albums sold well among college students.

"Personally, I like to do acoustic shows in general," Kubiak said in explaining the trend among the bands who played Mars this year, adding that "blues shows also do well." But the expectations of ticket sales didn't always match the actual turnout. "It's a lot tougher read now than it used to be," Kubiak said. "It's harder to gage which bands are going to sell down at Mars." He explained that sales were "a little light" for Better Than Ezra, but that the Wallflowers and the Why Store shows produced turnouts much higher than expected. "I think that really has a lot to do with the record companies pushing the singles from different bands and not pushing the album," Kubiak said. Junior Eddie Sobh watched the Why Store's performance last year, and enjoyed it enough to attend again this year. "The concert was absolutely awesome. I think that almost everybody that was there had a fabulous time," Sobh said. He became familiar with the band when he heard some of their songs on the radio while home in Georgia. "I love the Why Store. I think that by next year they are going to be known nationwide." These nationally known bands weren't the only attraction for students at Mars. Like the Bluebird, the club hosted numerous performances by local bands, but the major concerts separated Mars from the rest of the Bloomington scene. Kubiak summed it up best when he said, "It's great to be able to bring stuff like that to Bloomington." The Samples' lead guitarist Sean Kelly performs "Indiana." The Samples were known as "the best band you've never heard of with their music influences including bands such as Big Head Todd and the Monsters and musician Sammy Hagar. The Mars show was part of the Samples' last tour due to the departure of keyboardist Al Laughlin and drummer Jeep MacNichol to pursue other interests. Photo by Kevin Stuart.

Edward

Elefterion

IU, he was he was a long way from the lights and glamour of Broadway. A native New Yorker, who completed his undergraduate work at New York University, graduate theater student Ed Elefterion knew what it was like to work and live on Broadway. But the direction student found that even among the cornfields and farms of in Indiana he could shape theater's future. For most people interested in a theater career, Elefterion's story travelled somewhat backwards. Instead of working to reach New York. he worked to flee from it, ending up in Indiana. "I was in New York for a while and I wanted to go west." He heard about IU from some friends who recommended its renowned theater department. His fellowship sealed the deal by covering his entire tuition. Energetic about his choice to pursue a career in directing theater, working on stage wasn't his idea of the perfect job while he was growing up. A trumpet player for eight years, in his younger days Elefterion wanted to be a music teacher. To pursue his goal, he even attended a performing arts high school, similar to the one featured in the TV show "Fame." But unexplained headaches plagued him while playing the trumpet. Those headaches forced him to go into his second performing love: theater. "I was also interested in theater and when music fell through for me I got more involved in theater," he said. At NYU, Elefterion began his career as an actor and had an enjoyable time. "If I didn't have fun, I wouldn't do theater," he said. But as a junior in New York, he started studying theater direction. The switch to directing was easy, Elefterion said. As an actor, he often wanted to tell his co-stars how to act to make the production better. But he said actors didn't tell each other how to act, but as a director he could tell people what to do. "As a director I can help focus not only every actor, but the whole production, the whole emotional aspect of it," he said. "As an actor you only have control over your own part. (As an actor) you're so close to it, but I couldn't say

anything because I was also an actor. But as a director I could help them see things they couldn't see." At IU he directed everything from a T300 production to a group of actors he threw together to try different experimental techniques. And he didn't let the absence of a stage stop him from directing. He directed plays in hallways and open rooms, just to give actors and himself something to do and more experience. Most people thought theater directors would rather to work on a blockbuster like "Cats" or "Miss Saigon." Not Elefterion. He said those types of popular productions provided entertainment, but theater was more about thinking and asking tough questions. "Productions that are about the set or the costumes, I would not be interested in seeing. "Cats" is bullshit theater, "Cats" is Disney before Disney realized they could get into theater," he said. "Give me a play that challenges me to think, that challenges my imagination." His T300 production, "Drums in the Night," was a production that challenged the imagination. He placed 11 actors on a scarcely decorated stage 15 feet by 15 feet. The darkly poetic script left the audience with several questions unanswered. And he said it made people think and face tough decisions, which was what he wanted. "If you leave the theater the same way you entered the theater, something's gone wrong," he said. Elefterion said his role as an instructor for a basic acting class allowed him to help pass along his view of theater as intriguing as well as entertaining. Instead of seeing him work on traditional acting lessons such as improvisation, vistors to his clingy classroom were more likely to find a philisopical Elefterion discussing the future of theater. "My first job is not to teach them how to act, because this is not a performance program," said Elefterion who's class often had COAS or business majors along side theater majors. "They (students) have a huge important responsibility (as the future audience of theater) and it's my job to educate them that whatever they want from theater they're going to get. -

Bars open doors for Live From Bloomington Story by Meredith Bledsoe

ith cans of green beans and tomato soup in their hands, a thick crowd of people stood in line outside the Bluebird. Although it was a chilly night in late spring, the patrons weren't impatient. In fact, the line was moving quickly and the wait was only 20 minutes. And for the price of two canned items and $2 (or $4), these music enthusiasts would hear 15 of Bloomington's finest local hands. The 12th annual Live From Bloomington Club Night raised money for the Hoosier Hills Food Bank. The event, begun as a music student's senior project, raised more than 100,000 pounds of food and $30,000 throughout the years. About 16,400 pounds of food and $5,500 were raised just in 1997. While the amount the charity event raised for the food bank was small, the make-up of the donations was important. LFB raised little more than two percent of the annual food budget and Below: Performing for more than 700 people, Fambooey's lead singer, Dan Powell, belts out another funk tune.

about one percent of the monetary budget. "The percentages are misleading," said Dan Taylor, assistant director of the bank. "Because it's held in early March, it's really the first canned food drive since December." After paying the small cover, people gained access to five different clubs to view the three hands at each. Show times were stacked throughout most of the night to allow optimal viewing. Organizers encouraged patrons to visit the different clubs and get an ample taste of the Bloomington music scene. The Mary Janes kicked the night off at the allages location in the John Waldron Arts Center at 8 p.m. Ska band Cadmium Orange and ProMidgitMafia followed. Salaam, Gyrogenics Quartet and Vida, the female a capella group, played just across the street at Wild Beet. Second Story featured Japonize Elephants, Old Pike and Stranded at the Drive-In. Bluebird welcomed the sounds of beloved cover band Real Eyes which played many original tunes for the night; and the Spoon Furies in addition to the LFB newcomer the Swing Rays. With the rebirth of rockabilly, a cross of country twang and 50s rock'n'n )11, the Swing Rays packed a crowd into the Bird. continued

In addition to its normal following, the band attracted hordes new fans. Band members played with their hair high and shiny, and the people in the crowd toe-tapped, dapped and swung partners in the air, off hips and through legs. Because LFB was on Thursday night, Mars Nightclub didn't hold its weekly "hot hod" contest and retro night. Instead, people packed into the largest club in town for Smart Milk, and funk hands Fambooey and Homunculus. Fans stood on the bars, stools and jammed onto the floor in an attempt to dance. More than just another showcase of the outstanding local music scene, LFB featured various campus and community members who donated their talent, energy and time for a worthy cause. Working as the LFB Director, junior Alisa Blackwood coordinated what hand would play where and at what time. "We started getting organized in September and worked up until Club Night," she said. "We received 106 submissions for the 15 places on the CD." The time-consuming position proved worth the long hours because of the cause. "The first part, the most important part, of LFB is raising money for the Hoosier Hills Food Bank," she said. "It makes people aware of the local hunger problem and that the food bank needs donations not just at LFB or Christmas,but year round."

IN DEPTH

Seriously Out for Fun

Fambooey talks about their career, missing mannequins and 20-foot long snakes ith one chord, the unidentifiable throng of college students surrounding the stage sprung to action as W the "funk" poured out of the five Fambooey members. Anything was allowed: singing, shouting, jumping, moshing, crowd surfing, even beer spitting. At an all-ages show, even a seven year-old boy "surfed" precariously on the hands of 30 or so teenagers, giggling the whole ride. Rules weren't welcome, fun was. "We want to make you dance, but we want you to laugh while you dance," said Mark Bencuya, 27-year-old keyboardist for Fambooey. Bencuya along with Dan Powell (vocals), Rob Henson (bass), Alex Painter (guitar) and Kevin Leachy (drums) created the unique sound of Fambooey. "We don't take ourselves too seriously," said Bencuya, the most serious of the jovial bunch. "We try to make you forget your outside worries." "You're not going to hear a bunch of love songs," he continued. "We also don't write message songs." "If you need a message call Western Union," said Henson a quiet 26-year-old native of Atlanta. "We aren't going to fill you with deep insight. Our music is about vibes and emotions; sometimes just the smallest thing can become a song." Their music was unstructured and tailored for their crowd. "Form to us is out the door," said Bencuya. "We have this spontaneous thing. If the crowd gets into something, we'll go with it," said Bencuya. And while this included heavy metal or even game show themes, the members did take the band seriously. "We give it all we got and that's why people like us," said 27year-old Powell, originally from Ann Arbor, Mich. "When its time to play, its no joke. Well, it is a joke, but. . ." Everything about these guys was aimed at having fun including their name: Fambooey. The band agreed that the word "funk" was archaic and they needed to update a word for their music. "I was trippin' my balls off on acid and I thought Ah... Fambooey, that's funky,- Powell said laughing. "I thought it capitulated what funk meant." At first, the word was just a joke among friends. Then, Bencuya snagged it for his radio name, McFambooey. A transitional band member was even called "Mr. Fam," before the word graduated to the name of the band. The first glimpse of Fambooey was seen in Ann Arbor, Mich. around 1986. While Bencuya and Powell were still in high school, they began writing music and performing in garage bands. Some of the songs written then like "Asthma" and "Jen, Jen, Jenny" could even he heard on Fambooey's early albums. The two attended different colleges, but at Indiana University Bencuya played their tapes for several people in the music industry attempting to break into the business. He also joined a band with Henson called Mr. Gone, an R&B funk cover band.

Both Fambooey and Mr. Gone submitted tapes to the 1994 Live from Bloomington compilation CD, but only Fambooey was accepted. Bencuya and Henson ended Mr. Gone to concentrate fully on Fambooey. Powell continued to visit from eastern Michigan, playing "odd gigs" and making demos. After graduation Powell moved to Bloomington to join Bencuya and Henson with Fambooey. Their line-up changed quite frequently, but Bencuya, Powell and Henson remained the driving force behind the band. "We never practiced with our new drummer, Kevin, except at gigs," Bencuya

ENTERTAINMENT 212

said shaking his head. "Sometimes we're unstable because we're uncomfortable with our line-up so we just hash," said Henson breaking from his quiet manner. "We've always been dealing with growing," said Powell taking a moment to talk seriously about the growth of Fambooey. Both growth within the hand and the growth of the band's popularity caused problems. "We were popular in Bloomington and then we got pushed into the Midwest scene. It was hard to handle. The more successful we are the harder it gets, but we are still paying our dues." Paying their dues included playing at smaller colleges on

occasion and catering to the audience. At Hanover College while Powell took a restroom break, the band allowed the crowd to take over. "For five minutes, these frat guys grabbed the microphone and screamed `Fam-fuckin'-booey' into it," said Powell with a huge grin. "It was great. I was upstairs and all I could hear was Fam-fuckin'booey." Fambooey definitely catered to its crowd. "Let them have a playground, as long as your shit doesn't get ruined." Sometimes the playground turned against the band. Fambooey amazingly had not been banned from the Vogue in Indianapolis con-sidering an episode with frontal nudity. "Some guy in the front row was annoying me so I flashed him my penis," said Powell. "I was in my bitter phase." "That (the Vogue incident) was also during our acts of lewdness stage," said Powell. Fambooey was trying to make it as a band and to promote their name to the public. "I'll do anything to get your attention," said Powell with a devious smile. One of Fambooey's biggest attention grabbers was Eve. A man-nequin who travelled with them to all their shows, Eve was kidnapped/ ran away. "She was ripped off at a Live from Bloomington concert in a crazy mob scene," said Powell. "We weren't paying attention to her maybe that's why she left," Bencuya said throwing his serious facade to the side. Shortly after her departure, Fambooey received ransom notes demanding they play "Stairway to Heaven" at one of their live shows if they wanted to see Eve again. After the song, they only received a note from Eve in Seattle saying, "I always thought you guys were putzs." Eve never came back. "It was funny for awhile, but then it got a little out of hand," he said. Powell showed deeper remorse for the loss of Eve: "I missed her for quite awhile."

After Eve, Fambooey introduced Freaky the Clown. "It lost all of its appendages and started to look like it had polio," said Bencuya fighting to hide a smile. Freaky actually created a bit of trouble for the band while they played a gig in Columbus, Ohio. Powell intertwined Freaky with a Barbie doll and used the contraption like a morocco which angered an audience member. "Some woman thought we were representing pedophilia," said Powell shaking his head of wild black hair that had the capability of standing three or four inches off his head. "The bouncers held her in a booth so she wouldn't attack us, but I sort of taunted her." "I guess she must have had some repressed clown memories," said Bencuya with a mocking grave expression. They had not been asked back to play that club since "the clown incident." Fambooey also entertained their audiences with a 20 foot snake who reeked of beer. He frequently vacationed due to his foul smell. To lug around their assorted large stage props, Fambooey acquired the Plummeting Porker. This white van had a flying pig in training stenciled on the side. They bought the van for $1400 from a losing sail boating team who claimed the motto, "When pigs fly we will win a race." Fambooey modified the phrase to "When pigs fly we will make some real money." But the group had its successes. They have recorded three albums since Fambooey's creation in 1994: Fungus Among Us (95), Succulent (96) and Live from Club Mildew (`97). Their latest album Club Mildew was sold in a huge prozac bottle with specific instructions including dosage requirements. Also, the band had been included on several compilation CD's: four Live from Bloomington CD's, a St. Louis compilation, two Indianapolis compilations and the B-town Sampler. The industry also recognized Fambooey as a noteworthy band. They were featured in Billboard magazine and played concerts from Atlanta to Kansas to West Virginia. They also were included in the South-by-Southwest line-up in Austin, Texas for the past couple of years. "We've shared the stage with the Fugees and Ziggy Marley," said Powell modestly. The future of Fambooey was somewhat uncertain. "We're gonna let the future play itself out," said Powell in his carefree manner. "We would like to play very select gigs and write music." "We are not into touring so much as we are getting music on tape," said Henson seriously. They didn't want to get lost in the "road game." A band could lose itself with touring for long months and visiting endless cities. "We don't want to play to the guy mopping the floor because we lost our following by the time we return to a certain city," said Powell. "Right now we want to promote the band by playing well publicized gigs." Bencuya, Powell and Henson continued to work at their part-time jobs, practice with the band and have a crazy time playing whenever they could. "It's a wild frickin' ride," said Powell with his familiar grin. LI

"The Ghosts of Corigliano's last opera

Versailles" his is not opera — Wagner is opera!" sang one character as he stopped the action and stomped to center stage in "The Ghosts of Versailles." "Ghosts" certainly wasn't Richard Wagner, but it was a mixture of American John Corigliano's unique style with music reminiscent of Mozart or Rossini. Set in the amorphous world of the spirits of Marie Antoinette and members of her historic, reallife court at Versailles, the opera blended both the confusion of limbo and the dash of France before the French Revolution. The French aristocrats entered, complaining of their boredom in the afterlife, their pastel clothing glowing in a bath of fluorescent light. The court playwright, Pierre Augustin Beaumarchais, created an opera for their amusement, one manipulating history to save Marie Antoinette, called Antonia in the opera. Antonia's opera was a continuation of the Beaumarchais' other plays, which provided the basis for Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro" and Rossini's "The Barber of Seville," but this time the familiar characters were on a mission to save Antonia from being beheaded by the agents of the French Revolution. Count Almaviva, a common character in both the Rossini and Mozart operas, tried to save his cousin Antonia from guillotine, but his plan was thwarted by his treacherous friend, the power-hungry Bêgearss. Graduate student Joseph McKesson was one of two tenors who portrayed the villain in IU's double casting system, and when he took the stage he had a very special audience member — the composer. "At first I was very nervous with my interpretation because I had taken quite a risk," McKesson said. "I was afraid he wouldn't like it, that maybe my interpretation was a little off the deep end. But he liked it quite fine."

Corigliano attended IU dress rehearsals and performances of his work, and McKesson said his input helped bring the modern work to life. "He's very free about giving his opinion," McKesson said. "I appreciated that. When you're dealing with this opera it's good to know exactly what is meant. It as very helpful in clearing up gray areas, and he was very supportive of me as a performer." Just when McKesson's character seemed to end Beaumarchais' plan, the playwright entered his own opera and came to Almaviva's aid. But in the end, Antonia urged Beaumarchais to let her go to the guillotine and take her place in history. The opera ended with the two historical lovers walking together into eternity, surrounded by a brilliant universe of stars. Graduate student Darin Adams portrayed the playwright Beaumarchais, and he said the opera, like many other twentieth century operas, made dramatic demands which went

hand in hand with his experience with musical theater including roles in "South Pacific" and "Oklahoma." Adams sang in traditional operas, such as Verdi's Rigoletto, in the past. "I'm starting to think (20th century opera) is what I'm going to be doing more of," Adams said. "Musical theater is a little more acting oriented, so in the professional world I'll get to put my work on acting and diction to work in modern opera." While "Ghosts" premiered at New York's Metropolitan Opera to great acclaim. and was commissioned by the Met for its 100th anniversary, Corigliano said this was probably his last opera. "This is very large opera. Next to (the Sergei Prokofieff opera) "War and Peace,"this has the biggest cast of any opera. It's a real spectacle," Corigliano said. "This cannot be done by everybody, and can't be played in a small hall. I probably won't write another opera. What I'm really interested in is a musical."

Several musical and dramatic versions of biblical stories were displayed on stage during the 1960's. One of the most famous of these was "Joseph." Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice first produced the beginnings of the play, "Joseph,- as a pop cantata for an end-of-term concert at Colet Court boys school in London. After many additions, the canta grew from 15 minutes to 35 minutes to finally, a full-length Broadway musical. After its creation in England, it travelled to America in 1970 for its first Off-Broadway shows and in 1982 moved to Broadway. Webber was also famous for his successful musical "Jesus Christ Superstar" and "Phantom of the Opera."

Hello, Dolly! The auditorium staff welcomed Carol Channing Oct. 29, 30, and 31 to IU for the performance of "Hello, Dolly!" Channing's character, Dolly Gallagher Levi, portrayed a busybody who made it her business to know everyone else's business. Her main job was to create matches between couples by using her intuition. Charming received the Lifetime Achievement Tony Award in 1995 and a Tony award or nomination for every Broadway play in which she has appeared. A star since her 1950 role in "Gentleman Prefer Blondes," Charming appeared in over 4,500 performances including "Wonderful Town," "Four on a Garden" and "Show Girl."

Kiss of the Spider Woman "Kiss of the Spider Woman," a musical based on Manuel Puig's acclaimed 1976 novel, "El Beso de la Mujer Arana," appeared at the IU Auditorium Nov. 19 and 20. The musical depicted a gay window dresser convicted for the corruption of a minor and a bitter Marxist revolutionary stuck in a prison cell in a Latin American country. Contrasting the typical carefree musical, "Kiss of the Spider Woman" portrayed a dark, brooding story. The show dealt with issues of sexual preferences, religious beliefs, ethnic origin and political ideologies. The character of the Spider Woman was played by Sandra Guida who began studying dance at the Instituto Superior de Arte del Teatro Colon. Guida's credits ranged from popular Broadway hits like "Evita", "West Side Story" and -Hair."

Guys and Dolls The sounds of "Luck Be a Lady," filled the University Theatre when the Broadway classic "Guys and Dolls" premiered April 18. The staff and students of the Department of Theatre and Drama produced and performed in the musical. Based on a story by Damon Runyon and featuring the music and lyrics of Frank Loesser, the 47-year-old Tony winning musical was touted as a "Fable of Broadway." "Guys and Dolls" combined the fast-paced life of New York in the roaring '20s with the labors of love. The musical revolved around a floating crap game, run by Nathan Detroit, played by senior Michael Jacquay, and his old pal and high roller Sky Masterson, played by senior Tyler Michael. Their peaceful lives of gambling were disrupted by love. Detroit was constantly running from the advances of Adelaide, played by MFA student Christy Smith, Detroit's fiancee of 14 years. And Masterson gets more than he gambled for when he bets Detroit can sweep Sarah Brown, a very proper mission girl played by junior Kim Stout, off her feet. The production, directed and choreographed by George Pinney, mixed the comedy of life with upbeat musical numbers and a 28member student ensemble.

Record stores, novelty shops and used clothing stores all offered the paraphernalia usually associated with drug use. These items were sold for tobacco smoking. Indiana paraphernalia laws made it difficult for police and other law enforcement agencies to prohibit the sale of such items. We would have to prove that the instrument was used for marijuana by finding traces in it.- said IUPD lieutenant Jerry Minger. According to different surveys, drug use was on the rise among college students. One poll cited 22 percent of college freshman use marijuana on a regular basis. At IU, the number of marijuana-related arrests jumped to 68 in 1996. These were the cases handled by the IUPD. The number doesn't necessarily represent an increase for a couple reasons. Depending on how actively enforcement ensued violaters, the number could vary. In addition, Several cases were dealt with internally by the Office of the Dean of Students. Part of the drug's apparent resurgence could be attributed to movements to legalize it for medicinal purposes. While some states passed legislation to make marijuana legal for cancer and AIDS patients, Indiana did not. Bowls like this one were often a popular way of smoking marijuana. Because paraphenalia was often sold in a variety of stores, police had to prove the instrument had been used for smoking pot. Photo illustration by Matt McClain.

Room to Improve By Al Walker

Football team completes second consecutive losing season bout 15,000 fans rushed the field in Memorial a Stadium headed for the goal post in the south end zone. Although dressed in red and white, these fans were not Hoosiers, but Buckeyes and they were tearing down the goal post. They succeeded in tearing down one, but as the crowd headed toward the north end of the field, the football team stood guard. When the team retired its post and returned to the locker room, Hoosier fans stepped in. A season-high 49,000 fans watched as IU succumbed to undefeated Ohio State in a hard-fought battle. IU tied OSU, 10-10, and held on — moving closer to the biggest upset in college football. The fourth quarter ended the Hoosiers' upset dreams when redshirt freshman quarterback Jay Rodgers was stripped of the ball and OSU took it into the end zone. The Buckeyes obtained the victory, along with a ticket to the Rose Bowl. The Hoosiers kicked off the season facing two Mid-American Conference opponents. First, they faced the University of Toledo, 1995 MAC champion. IU gained its first victory, 40-6. The next week the Hoosiers hosted the University of Miami (Ohio) in its

home opener and posted a 21-14 win. The Hoosiers lost their first game of the season against nemesis University of Kentucky. The Wildcats posted a 3-0, lastsecond win, and the season began to seem familiar for fans, coaches and players. In 1995, IU posted its first two victories against non-conference opponents and a loss to Kentucky marked the beginning of a season-long losing streak. IU fans awaited a Big Ten win as the Hoosiers traveled to take on Illinois. The team picked up its second conference loss, 46-43. They also became part of Big Ten history after participating in the first overtime game in conference history. With their record standing at 2-3 and fan support dwindling, the Hoosiers needed a change as they approached the Homecoming game against Iowa. For the Oct. 12 game, the team moved back to the west side of the stadium away from the student section which never filled to capacity. This change came the same week the Hawkeyes' coach Hayden Fry called Hoosier fans the worst in the Big Ten. In order to fill the student section, IU offered free tickets to students living in the residence halls. Although IU played two nationally televised games, Memorial Stadium only hit capacity once against Ohio State. For senior John Marion, supporting the football team was not about wins and losses, rather supporting his school. He attended every home football game with the exception of two continued in his four years at IU.

"These guys are in college just like me and they deserve some credit," Marion said. "Everybody thinks they're an expert but they are not the ones playing their hearts out on the field every week." Marion followed the Hoosiers to Ann Arbor for their next Big Ten challenge. Although not favored against the Wolverines, senior Nathan Davis wanted the Hoosiers to finally pull off a win. "I'm going to go up there and try to kick some ass for me and the seniors," said Davis. "As long as you're giving the effort, things are going to get better." And things began to get better in Ann Arbor, as the Hoosiers fought until the clock ran out. But once again, IU fell short, and the Wolverines came out on top with a 24-20 win. When it seemed the Hoosiers' season could not get worse, it did. Mid-afternoon Oct. 31, Athletic Director Clarence Doninger announced Head Coach Bill Mallory's termination, but he would finish out the season. Mallory left the press conference and headed straight to practice in Memorial Stadium where he and his team prepared for their final three games of the season. The final game of the season gave the Hoosiers a chance to battle for the Old Oaken Bucket. They won and claimed their first conference win in a two-season span, and they did so with style. When the clock ran out, the team picked Mallory up and carried him across the field to the section of IU fans who waited all season for this moment. Surrounded by cheering fans, the team made its way to the locker room chanting "Mallory" and singing the fight song, "Indiana, Our Indiana" in unison. Mallory could not get the "I" in the Old Oaken Bucket fast enough and finally, after catching his breath, he smiled and said, "What a great win." As the team headed back to Bloomington with the bucket in hand, senior quarterback Chris Dittoe said there was no better way to end the season and his career with the Hoosiers. "I think we showed there's all kinds of pride running throughout this locker room," he said. "With the way we came out and played against Ohio State and then came out and played the way we did today against Purdue shows this program has a lot of pride and will continue to have that pride."LI

End of an Era

By All Walker

Coach Bill Mallory fired unexpectedly after 13 years

wo numbers, one and three, became unforgettable to Bill Mallory. In his 13th year as football head coach, Mallory faced another losing season. The 48-26 loss to Penn State became the Hoosiers 13th consecutive conference loss in a two-season span. Five days later, Oct. 31, Athletic Director Clarence Doninger called a press conference. The media flocked to Assembly Hall and students gathered around radios and televisions waiting for the decision. Doninger announced Mallory was fired, but would finish the season. The news caught everyone off guard, especially Mallory. "With the group of kids we had coming back I thought we were on it," Mallory said. "I liked the attitude of the players and I would have liked to come up with another season." Mallory spent 40 years as a football coach, 13 at IU. He attended Miami University of Ohio, where he received a bachelor's degree in Education and played for the Redskins under coaches Ara Parseghian and John Pont. He graduated from Miami in 1957 and became the school's head football coach in 1969. During his tenure at Miami, the Redskins earned consecutive 7-3 records in his first four seasons. In 1973, Mallory and the Redskins owned a perfect 11-0 record and became the Mid-American Conference champions with a 16-7 win over the University of Florida in the Tangerine Bowl.

In 1974, Mallory moved to the University of Colorado where, in his five-year career with the Buffalos, he ended with a 35-21-1 record. Mallory led the Buffalos to an 8-4 season in 1976, capturing the Big Eight co-champion title. With a new decade came change. In 1980, Mallory relocated to Northern Illinois University where he completed another successful coaching stint. He spent four years coaching NIU and in 1983 led them to a 10-2 record, capturing the first-ever MAC title in program history. He ended the season and his career at NIU with a postseason victory over Fullerton State University in the California Bowl. After a victorious 1983 campaign, Mallory was named MAC Coach of the Year. Then in 1984, Mallory began a new era in the Hoosier football program. His coaching success continued at IU as he led the Hoosiers to six postseason bowl appearances in seven years. Those appearances included a Liberty Bowl championship in 1988 and a Copper Bowl championship in 1991. Mallory also coached six first or second team AllAmericans, as well as two first-round NFL draft picks, one second-round pick and two players who finished in the top six in the Heisman Trophy balloting. Mallory became IU's most victorious coach and the first coach in Big Ten history to be named Coach of the Year in consecutive seasons: 1986 and 1987. In the 13 years with the Hoosiers, Mallory and his wife Eleanor made Bloomington their home, and hoped he would retire from coaching while at IU. However, Mallory did not have the opportunity to do with his career as he had hoped, just as he did not have the chance to turn things around for his football program before he was fired. The announcement of Mallory's firing came during an off week for the team. After losing to Penn State the Hoosiers had almost two weeks to prepare for their next competition against Michigan State and two weeks to dwell on what just happened to the team's leader. "It was a real shock — the timing of (the firing) was poor," senior quarterback Chris Dittoe said. "Some people in some very high places made a decision and that's what they wanted to do. As much as coach Mallory has done for this program, the university and the football team, I think they could have respected (Mallory) enough and waited until the end of the season. They just wanted to go ahead and make a decision during the off week." Freshman quarterback Jay Rodgers described the sentiments shared by Mallory's team, his fans and his colleagues. "It was a sad day for IU after all these years and what coach Mallory's done for the program," Rodgers said. Although Mallory was certain he would only return to

coaching if offered a Division I position, he said he and Ellie would not be away from the game. "We'll be involved," he said. "We'll never get away from football." He insisted he would support the Hoosiers and the University in any way he could, but was not ready to make his appearance as a fan. With 19 Division I coaching positions open at the close of the season, Mallory said he did not know of any programs considering him. "If this is the end of coaching, then I am thankful for the career I've had," he said.

From the sidelines, Coach Bill Mallory watches his team play the Purdue Boilermakers in West Lafayette, Ind. for the Old Oaken Bucket. Although his team brought the Bucket home with an added - I, the game would prove to be Mallory's last for the Hoosiers. He was fired Oct. I, but coached his team for the remaining games.

Women's soccer team surpasses season goal

he 26 members of the women's soccer team, gathered in a group hug. Tears streamed down their cheeks as they celebrated a hard-fought, 1-0 victory against the Wisconsin Badgers. The win gave the Hoosiers the Big Ten Championship, and a trip to the NCAA tournament. Prior to the 1996 season, assistant coach Angela Berry predicted a pivotal season for women's soccer. In only the fourth year of varsity-level competition, Hoosiers, had never been ranked, won a Big Ten championship or participated in the NCAA tournament. "We took our humps and bruises in the last couple of years playing such a tough schedule and I think its going to pay off — especially with the talent we do have." Berry said. Berry's prediction came true, but the team was forced to overcome a few more spills and tumbles on its way to a Cinderella-like ending. Coach Joe Kelley, in his fourth year of coaching the team, fielded his 1996 team minus two Hoosiers. Sophomore forward Tracy Grose and senior forward Wendy Dillinger both missed the entire season. Grose, 1995 Big Ten Freshman of the Year, spent the season recovering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament. Dillinger, Ili's previous leading scorer, sat out to recover from an appendectomy during preseason practice. Without Grose and Dillinger, a void needed to be filled as the Hoosiers opened the season Labor Day Weekend against the University of Dayton at Indianapolis' Kunz Field. Although they started slowly in the first half, the Hoosiers began the second half as the more aggressive and dominating team, foreshadowing what lay ahead for the season. After a scoreless first half, senior forward Amy Friederich assisted sophomore forward Tory Dolan, with IU's first goal of the season. Dolan and Friederich combined their talents, became unbeatable on the front line and created scoring opportunities at the net. In September, the I loosiers started out on a three-game winning streak. They traveled to

the U.S. Naval Academy, only to find their game against St. John's University canceled by rain. But the weather did not dampen the Hoosiers' spirit as they defeated the University of Pittsburgh, 5-0. Against the Panthers, sophomore hack Abby Ryan scored three goals — the first hat trick in the program's history. After a 5-0 win against Valparaiso University, the team gained confidence as they took on defending national champion, University of Notre Dame Sept. 15 in South Bend. Confidence was not enough for the Hoosiers though, as they suffered their most devastating loss of the season. When the clock ran out, the scoreboard read 5-0. The Irish attempted 32 shots on goal and held the team to a single shot on goal. The Hoosiers bounced back, but lacked consistency. They won their first Big Ten game against the Ohio State Buckeyes, 3-1, but earned only one other conference victory prior to the November tournament. The other conference victory came in East Lansing, Mich., as they defeated Michigan State, 3-2.

"They have started the tradition of hard work, perseverance and getting through the tough times," - Coach Joe Kelley After a win against University of Missouri, IU held a 6-3 record, but a five-game losing streak awaited the Hoosiers, starting against the No. 14 Kentucky University Wildcats and continuing with a pair of conference losses to Wisconsin and Northwestern. The Badgers beat IU, 3-0 Oct. 11, and Northwestern heat the Hoosiers, 3-1 the following Sunday. That weekend the team was plagued with injuries as senior forward Kathy Kozar suffered a concussion in the game against the Wildcats, and junior back Betsy Costello was taken out of the game with a split lip. Against Wisconsin, sophomore Emily Briclenstine injured her right knee which kept her out of competition until the weekend of the Big Ten championships. With the injury list growing and the conference championship just one month away, Ryan stepped up for the Hoosiers, pinpointing exactly what her team needed to do. "We need to be more intense and more focused," Ryan said. "We weren't mentally ready for these games."

IU continued to fall to its opponents, losing conference games to No. 15 Minnesota and No. 11 Penn State. Taking a break from conference competition, the Hoosiers ventured to Florida in hope of breaking their five-game losing streak. They fell short in their first attempt, losing to Lynn University, 3-0. However, the next day they defeated Florida International University 1-0 in an overtime battle. The Hoosiers returned to Bloomington in November to finish out the home season and gave their four seniors a final farewell at Bill Armstrong Stadium. Kelley watched his first recruiting class graduate against the University of Cincinnati Nov. 1. In 1993, IU women's soccer's first varsity season, the Hoosiers defeated the Bearcats in their first game. Ending their careers against the same team they started out against, made the game even more important for the graduating seniors. Margaret Scavo, Kozar, Friederich and Quincy Wolkowitz all waved good-bye to their fans at Bill Armstrong Stadium after earning a final victory, 2-1. Coach Kelley regarded the game with emotion as he remembered the four years and how hard the women worked to establish women's soccer at IU. "They have started the tradition of hard work, perseverance and getting through the tough times. It's been tough. It's been fun. I've enjoyed them," Kelley said. "As much as they've learned and developed, I've learned twice as much from them." With the Big Ten Championships a week away, IU faced

246 Sports

one last challenge. In their regular season finale, the Hoosiers lost 1-0 to Xavier University. This meant IU faced the Championship coming off a loss, but Kelley felt his team was tip to the challenge. "The pressure's on them. We have nothing to lose," Kelley said as his team traveled to Columbus, Ohio for the Big Ten Championship the Nov. 9 weekend. They did not lose. In fact, they did not even allow a goal. Second seeded Penn State fell to IU, 1-0, and Northwestern followed, 2-0. A 1-0 victory against Wisconsin in the final gave IU its first title, and the automatic hid to the NCAA tournament. For junior goalkeeper Merit Elzey — who broke the school record with nine wins in a season — the tournament was bittersweet. She said she could not believe IU won, but the reality of facing Notre Dame again in the opening round of the NCAAs made her nervous. Traveling to South Bend for their first postseason game, Kelley again said they had nothing to lose. For the first time, a national ranking followed them, and they liked the challenge of being the underdog against the Irish. IU lost, 8-1. But it wasn't enough With their first Big Ten title in hand, and a chance for postseason play, Kelley said it was what they had all hoped for. "Overall I think it was one of our goals to within four years get into the NCAA Championship and compete for the Big Ten Championship," Kelley said. "At the time we wondered if it was realistic. But this year it happened — all in one game."

Breaking Records

By Kathryn Knapp

Underestimated men's soccer wins respect and Big Ten Title fter a hard-fought game against Michigan State, players a surrounded coach Jerry Yeagley and celebrated their first Big Ten win, 2-1 in overtime — Yeagley's 400th career win. He became one of five collegiate coaches to win 400 games in a career. In his 24 years of coaching, Yeagley led his teams to three NCAA titles, 10 Final Four appearances and this season marked the team's 21st appearance in the NCAA tournament. In the first round, IU hosted the University of Evansville. The Purple Aces gave the Hoosiers a scare when they scored 1:34 into the game. The Hoosiers soon turned the tables and scored four goals before half time. Senior Scott Merritt scored three and tied the school record for season leading scorer. At the half, Yeagley stood at the sidelines and congratulated his players on their way to the locker room. Not one player snuck by without shaking hands with Yeagley. The scoring ceased in the second half, but the players put the offensive and defensive pressure on. The Hoosiers outshot the Purple Aces 13-7, winning the game and advanced to the second round of action.

"They look like a bunch of hungry guys and we were dinner." Wisconsin Coach Jim Launder We had a wake-up call when they scored," freshman Yuri Lavrinenko said. "It was exciting to help the team. The team is more confident than ever." Bowling Green State University travelled to Bloomington for second round action. BGSU seemed to have the upperhand as the game started. Senior goalkeeper Scott Coufal sat out the first half due to dehydration and the flu. While his team battled on the field, Coufal remained in the locker room receiving intravenous fluids. Sophomore Tony Cerroni filled the void successfully with three saves. IU took over offensively. Senior Joey Cavallo headed the ball in, scored the first goal of the game (the final of his IU career) and gave the Hoosiers a 1-0 lead. Coufal returned in the second half and defended the IU goal. Lavrinenko scored the final goal and increased the Hoosier lead to 2 0. The shutout sent the Hoosiers to Florida to play in the tournament quarter finals. "Anytime you get in there and contribute, it's good for the team," Cavallo said. "I was just in the right place at the right continued time today."

Not only was Florida's climate a change from the cold and rainy weather back home, but playing on the road brought about a new challenge. IU held one of the best records in the country for NCAA Tournament play, but its record on the road lacked the same glory — winning only one in seven games. Florida International University and IU met five times before. IU won the last three meetings, but the overall record was 2-2-1. In preparation for the temperature change, Yeagley took the players into the Mellencamp Pavilion and cranked the heat to 80 degrees. As they practiced for the big game, another problem arose. The flu bug returned and attacked a good percentage of the team. One of the casualties, sophomore Simon Deery, remained in Bloomington while the remainder of the team left for Miami. The players who made the trip continued to fight off the effects of the virus. Freshman Dennis Fadeski played in the game after he missed practice all week, sophomore Gino DiGuardi left the game at half time and juniors Caleb Porter and Chris Klein lacked their usual stamina. FIU took advantage of the Hoosiers' weakness and attacked early. The game turned into a physical one, ending with nine fouls for FIU and 22 for IU. Coufal kept the defense going with five saves, but let one goal slip by. The Hoosiers lost the battle 1-0 and ended their tournament play. The first weekend in September IU hosted the annual adidas MetLife Classic. UCLA defeated the Hoosiers in round one action 1-0. The next day, the players tried to redeem themselves, but rain interfered. The pouring rain could not stop the soccer game, but when lightning struck close enough to shake the ground, the game was delayed. After waiting 30 minutes,

officials finally called the game. The Hoosiers welcomed University of Miami (Ohio) Oct. 6. The Redskins held the Hoosiers scoreless for 36 minutes until Porter headed the ball into the goal and scored the first goal of the game. Hoosiers took a 3-0 lead by scoring two additional goals in the remaining nine minutes of the half. The score should have been 6-0, but the Hoosiers had three goals called back: one due to an offside call and two due to fouls. They dominated the game with 17 shots to the Redskins two. This shutout marked their fifth win. "Today, I don't think the score indicated the dominance we had," Yeagley said. "Caleb and Scotty Merritt work very hard," freshman Dema Kovalenko said. "I've never seen anyone work as hard as they did." Although IU won the game, they lost two-time Big Ten Player of the Week Kovalenko. A kick in the leg turned Kovalenko's previously sprained ankle into a displaced tendon. He underwent surgery and spent the rest of the season in therapy. Wisconsin travelled to IU Oct. 18 and the winner would lead the Big Ten Conference. The game started slow and remained scoreless throughout the first half. When play resumed, both teams continued to play tough. IU, however, played tougher. Sophomore Lazo Alavanja gained control of the ball and kicked it towards the goal. It bounced off an opponents leg and slipped past the goalie giving the Hoosiers a 1-0 lead. IU completed the shutout, their fifth of the season. "It was a big one," Yeagley said. "I give Wisconsin credit, they're going to give everyone trouble. But tonight, the deserving team won." continued

"They looked really focused," Wisconsin coach Jim Launder said. "They're playing tough. They look like a bunch of hungry guys and we were dinner." Because he was a Wisconsin native, Coufal said he enjoyed playing the Badgers. During his five years, IU's record against the Badgers was 4-1-1. "Beating Wisconsin was nice," Coufal said. "I've never been in a shoot-out for Indiana and I won it.The win gave Coufal his 59th career win and put him first on IU's list of all-time winningest goalkeepers. Two days later, the Hoosiers hosted another conference match against Northwestern. The Hoosiers dominated the game, scored nine players and defeated the Wildcats 11-1. The winning streak continued as the team added two more shutouts before the Big Ten Tournament. The team entered the tournament as underdogs and because of its youth, was not expected to go very far. But they surprised their critics and defeated Michigan State 4-0 to win the title. "We were not picked at the beginning of the season as a favorite to win the title because we're so young," Yeagley said. "But I think this team has matured. There was room for improvement because we were so young and the players picked things up individually and collectively." Called The Rochester Three," freshmen Kovalenko, Lavrinenko and Aleksey Korol helped impact the Hoosier team. Originating from the Ukraine, they came to the United States for a tournament and all returned to finish their educations. They lived in New York and were invited to join IU's soccer program. Kovalenko scored 10 goals and twice earned the title of Big Ten Player of the Week. The three combined to score 22 goals and accumulate 109 shots and 20 assists. "You don't expect much from freshmen," Yeagley said. "If they can help you, it's a bonus and this year the freshmen have been leaders in terms of their play." Four time All-Big Ten selection Coufal left IU with 66 career wins, 38 career shutouts and 274 career saves. In his five years, he earned the title Freshman Goalkeeper of the Year, Soccer America's Goalkeeper of the Year, named a finalist for the Missouri Athletic Club Player of the Year Award twice and received votes for the Hermann Trophy.

there 100 percent all the time." While the Big Ten Championship title should have given the team a top seed in the NCAA Tournament, IU headed into play unseeded and made it to the quarter finals round. The Hoosiers finished their season with a 15-3 3 record and ranked No. 1 in the Great Lakes Region and No. 3, No. 4 and No. 5 in three national polls. "We're a young team and we go through times where things don't work right," Coufal said. "But our goal at the beginning of the season was to win the Big Ten Championship and wedid."0

Kovalenko S Landing only 5-feet-8-inches tall, freshman Dema Kovalenko dominated the offense game after game. He started every game through Oct. 6, and led the men's soccer team in scoring with 10 goals. Kovalenko once again took his place in the starting line-up as the Hoosiers faced Miami University of Ohio. Fighting for the ball, Kovalenko was kicked in the leg and fell to the field in pain. Assisted off the field, he headed to the locker room where trainers wrapped his foot in ice. Kovalenko returned on crutches only to watch from the sidelines as the Hoosiers defeated the Redskins. The victory left the Hoosiers with a record of 5-1-2, but Kovalenko felt frustrated. The game ended his season and he soon underwent surgery for a displaced tendon in his right ankle. "I was pretty scared," Kovalenko said, recalling the injury. "As soon as I got hit, I knew something was wrong. I was very upset and down for a bit. But thanks to the guys on the team and the coaches — they kept me going. I'll be back soon." He smiled and said, "I'll be back." The loss of Kovalenko left many wondering what would happen to IU and its fifth-ranked team. Nevertheless, the Hoosiers finished the season ranked eighth with a record of 15-3-3 and made it to the third round of the NCAA Tournament, losing to Florida International University, 1-0. "I think when he was playing, our team's personality was to look for him and he would get the goals we needed," Coach Jerry Yeagley said. "When he was no longer there, the personality of the team changed and the players who looked to play to Dema now had to pick up the responsibility themselves. With Dema, if you could stop Dema, perhaps you could stop a lot of Indiana's attack." Kovalenko started playing at age 6 on a farm team and eventually worked his way up to one of Ukraine's best teams — Dynamo Kiev. Playing for Dynamo Kiev, Kovalenko and his teammates earned the chance to travel through Europe, to the United States and other countries to compete in tournaments. After competing in a tournament in the United States, Kovalenko decided he wanted to stay. However, he was forced to return to the Ukraine with his teammates. He came back as soon as he could with a student visa allowing him to stay in the United States as long as he remained in school. Kovalenko lived in Rochester, N.Y. along with his friends Aleksey Korol and Yuri Lavrinenko. They attended different high schools, but continued playing together on club teams. Yeagley stepped first in line to take a look at the

Ukrainians. "A past player of mine, George Perry, was the coach at the University of Rochester and when these boys arrived in Rochester as 14-year-olds five years ago, he told me that there was some special talent there," Yeagley said. "These fellows played for the top club team in the U.S.S.R. — Dynamo Kiev — and they were selected at an early age as the shining young stars and brought together as the top players in their age group." Yeagley kept an eye on all the players from the Ukraine and anticipated recruiting at least one. Kovalenko signed first, followed by Korol and Lavrinenko. "I was hoping to get one. Two would have been a bonus and three was quite something," Yeagley said. Kovalenko became a shining young star for the Hoosiers. In the eight games he played, he scored 10 goals and attempted 25 shots. He led the team in goals until IU faced the University of Evansville Nov. 24 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Senior Scott Merritt scored three goals against Evansville to tie Kovalenko for the most goals scored and helped the Hoosiers beat the Purple Aces, 4-1. Kovalenko earned Big Ten Player of the Week Honors twice, was named Big Ten Freshman of the Year and made the First-Team All-Big Ten and First Team All-Region. "For a guy who only played eight games, that's quite an accomplishment," Yeagley said. "I felt he was the top freshman in the country. He might even be recognized as that." While Kovalenko was surprised by the honors, teammates Korol and Lavrinenko, who played with him for years, expected nothing less. "He deserved it," Korol said. "For as many games as he played and for as many goals as he made, he definitely deserved it." "I expected it," Lavrinenko said. "Dema played unbelievably until he got injured." Kovalenko's most memorable game occurred against Michigan State Sept. 29. The Hoosiers were losing 1-0 but Kovalenko came back and scored two goals. "It was special for me too because it was Coach Yeagley's 400th win," Kovalenko said. "I was very happy for him and it was very special for me, too." Anxious to play again, Kovalenko said he would not leave IU until he won a national championship. And after that, he wished to play professionally and coach. "That's all I want to do, to play professional soccer," Kovalenko said. "I would do anything to play. Whatever it takes. I'm going to try and never give up."

Disappointments By Matt

Day=

Volleyball team falls short of season's expectations fter a banner 1995 season, the volleyball team could not fill the holes of the former seniora heavy team. During that season, the Hoosiers won 20 matches for the first time in 15 years and earned a berth in the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history. One short year later, the 14-member team consisted of 11 freshmen and sophomores and lacked experience. "Last season we had many seniors who knew what it took to compete at the Division I level," said Coach Katie Weismiller. "This year's team had a lot of younger players, and I don't think they had any idea what it takes to compete at the top of the Big Ten. We just couldn't find the right thing to say or the right thing to do to finish out a match or win a game." Heralded freshman recruits — middle blockers Laura Mettes and Cydryce Carter, outside hitter Ryann Connors, and setter Kristina Sanderson — were unable to replace the graduated players from the 1995 team. "There was some pressure on us and it was difficult mentally and physically adjusting to the Big Ten season," said Connors, who was third on the team with 267 kills. "It was up and clown, and as a team we lacked communication on the court and just never clicked." The Hoosiers played all of their preseason matches on the road while the team's new home, the Intercollegiate Athletics Gym, under-went $200,000 worth of renovations. They finished the 6-6, with three losses against state rivals University of Notre Dame. Butler Uni-versity and Ball State University. Despite the preseason woes, IU entered the first half of the Big Ten season with a new home and high hopes. They drew record crowds, averaging 719 fans per game, but fan support was not enough. The Hoosiers went 2-8, including a nationally televised loss to Minnesota on ESPN2. The second half of the Big Ten season repeated the first as the team again mustered only two wins in 10 tries. In West Lafayette, Purdue swept the women in three games and recaptured the Monon Spike for the first time since 1991. continued

"In a lot of our matches, we could have won, but just didn't and our record didn't show how we really played," said sophomore middle blocker Melissa Rooney, the team's leader in blocks (93) who had the second highest hitting efficiency (.265). "Losing the Monon Spike was a real letdown because it was one of our goals at the beginning of the season to keep it." Leading the Hoosiers attack throughout the season was sophomore Jennifer Magelssen. She finished the season with a conference-leading 51 service aces and averaged 3.39 kills and 2.95 digs per game. With a season total of 370 kills and 322 digs, Magelssen, for the second consecutive year, tallied 300plus kills and digs in a single season. Averaging 3.21 kills per game, junior outside hitter Julie Flatley ranked second for the Hoosiers in kills for the season. Her season total of 344 made her 10th on the all-time career list with 857. Off the court, Flatley's 3.20 grade point average in elementary education earned her academic all-Big Ten honors. Other academically recognized teammates included senior middle blocker Bonnie Ludlow (3.00/biology), and sophomores Melissa Brawner (3.32/exercise science) and Rooney (3.30/elementary education). While the Hoosiers found success in academics, they still struggled with volleyball. Players, fans and especially Coach Weismiller were disappointed with an overall record of 10-22, 4-16 and ninth place in the Big Ten. "From a coach's standpoint, it was a frustrating season because we never competed to our potential," said Weismiller on her worst season as a head coach. "That boiled down to the freshmen and not being able to compete at the Division I level."

Team Effort

By Jennifer Bisceglie and Kathryn Knapp

Women's cross country team runs toward victory

he women's cross country team arrived at their home course ready to welcome opponents to the Big Ten Championships. The runners lined up to start the race, except for one. Freshman Cassidy Wall, the team's leader, sat out with a stress fracture injury. Standing in temperatures averaging in the 30s to low 40s, the women impatiently awaited the start of the race. The gun fired and the women began the race. Instead of the home team leading the pack, Wisconsin dominated the race. Senior Jill Nace led IU with a 36th place finish. The Hoosiers finished behind Illinois in seventh place. "Missing your number one really hurts the team," coach Roseann Wilson said. "I thought that with (Wall) we would have finished fifth." The Hoosiers opened their season by hosting the annual Hoosier Hills Open Sept. 13. The race consisted of three teams competing, with a second-place finish for the Hoosiers. Wall led the team with a sixth place finish. The team traveled to University of Tennessee at Knoxville. IU crushed Tennessee 15-50, and once again was led by Wall who placed first and received her second win. Teammates watched Wall as she added a spark to the team. "From day one in practice we knew she was going to be a great runner," sophomore Anne Marshall said. "She soon became a strong and consistent runner." IU hosted the Indiana Invitational Oct. 5, and the Hoosiers finished first in front of Illinois. Four team members placed in the top 10. Wall ended fourth, Marshall and junior Jennifer Sprowls finished respectively in fifth and sixth place and freshman Katie Barber finished ninth. "I think for the first time we really worked together as a team," Marshall said. "We all really came together, accomplished our goal and enjoyed ourselves."

The Hoosiers hosted another meet at their home course Oct. 18 — the Indiana Intercollegiates where the Hoosiers finished second out of 27 teams. Nace led the Hoosiers with a fifth place finish and Sprowls finished sixth. Wall finished in 27th place (6th for the team) and ran her last meet of the season.

"I think for the first time we really worked together as a team. We all really came together, accomplished our goal and enjoyed ourselves." -Sophomore Anne Marshall "This (the Indiana Intercollegiates) is a meet which includes many of the cross-country teams in the state," Sprowls said. "Our goal was to defeat Indiana State University and win the meet; both of which we accomplished." District W Championships closed the season for the Hoosiers. They arrived in Champaign Ill. and faced a flat course consisting of 35 teams. Overall, the team finished in 17th place with Nace finishing first for the Hoosiers at 75th place. "The whole team sort of felt a little drained at the end of the season," Marshall said. "You need to do your best at the end of the season rather than the the middle."

Running Short

By Jennifer Bisceglie and Kathryn Knapp

Men's cross country team fails to reach season goal hen hosting meets, nothing satisfied the men's cross country team more than leading the W pack. During three of the four home meets the Hoosiers hosted, they demonstrated their skill. IU opened the season hosting the nonscoring Hoosier Hills Open, and dominated the course with eight members placing in the top 10. At two other home meets, the Indiana Invitational and the Indiana Intercollegiate, IU continued this domination. IU welcomed 10 teams Oct. 5 for the Indiana Invitational. Five Hoosiers led the pack giving IU a first place finish. Finishing in the top ten were sophomore Tom Chomy (fourth), sophomore Jon Teipen (seventh), freshman Tom Breckenridge (eighth), seniors Kevin Sullivan (ninth) and Jon Booth (10th). The Hoosiers finished first out of the 27team field with three members in the top 10 at the Indiana Intercollegiates Oct. 18. Chomy once again led the pack finishing third, Sparks followed close behind in seventh and Sullivan in ninth. Going into the season, the Hoosiers depended on a few freshmen to lead: high school state champions Breckenridge (Missouri), Aaron Gillen (California) and Chad McFarland (Indiana). Unfortunately, McFarland and Gillen sat out due to injuries. McFarland suffered a recurring back injury and Gillen dealt with a pulled hamstring. "We were a very young team overall," head coach Sam Bell said. "A couple of freshmen that we counted on helping us were not available due to injuries. We counted on three and two could not compete." Even without the key freshman, the team opened the season with top two placings in the first five meets. IU ventured to Knoxville, Tenn. for a meet against University of Tennessee. At the time, the Volunteers were ranked 18th. The unranked Hoosiers fell by only two points with senior Matt Sparks finishing first. "We started off the season really strong and looked good," Sparks said. "We had some injuries and people were

unable to perform to their potential. I thought this meet was important for the team. Besides, winning invitationals at home is always nice." Knowing they had talent to lead the pack, the Hoosiers expected to be in front for the season finale. IU hosted the Big Ten Championships Nov. 2 at the IU golf course. When the race began, the Hoosiers fell back early and never caught up. They finished the meet in eighth place. "It's the worst we have run all year," Bell said. "We did not run with focus. We did not run with intensity. If you're going to succeed in a race, you need to be in the hunt early and we were not." Chorny led the team finishing in 16th place. Starting off the season, he placed fifth for the team at the Hoosier Hills Invitational. He picked up the pace, however, as the season progressed and finished first in the last five meets. "We did not really know who would win the Big Tens this year," Chomy said. "We would have liked to win it but that would mean everyone would have to be healthy and have a great race. Personally, I finished 16th when I should have placed in the top ten. We were all really disappointed with the finish." The season ended opposite of what the team hoped for. While the team wanted to improve the 1995-96 season's fifth place finish at the Big Ten Championships, injuries and performance problems interfered. The Hoosiers fell short of their goal by finishing in eighth place. "Given what they had, they had a successful season," Bell said. "But it depends on how you look at success.If success is winning tournaments, then we were not successful.""

Intense Training

By Kathryn Knapp

Hawaii trip helps women swimmers set records bile most people vacationed during winter break, the women's swimming and diving team used two weeks to train away from Bloomington. After an eight hour flight, the Hoosiers landed in Hawaii where they spent 14 days training and preparing for the upcoming Big Ten season. The Hoosiers placed fifth in the Rainbow Invitational and won the Iolani Relay Meet 5024. Although it rained half the time they were there, sophomore Schlaura Sickafus said it was a positive time for the team. "I think it was a really good (experience)," Sickafus said. "I don't live with any of the swimmers, but we got to spend two weeks together. We mostly swam, but it was still a bonding experience." The women opened their season Sept. 14 against Butler. The Hoosiers placed first in 10 out of 11 races taking first and second place in eight events. The 100-yard butterfly was the only event the Hoosiers did not place first in. They defeated the Bulldogs 75-18. The four freshmen began their careers with wins. Freshmen Melissa Pease and Sara Jacobs placed first and second respectively in the 200yard freestyle. Dominating the 200-yard individual medley, freshmen Libbie McCarthy and Libbie Lohman finished first and second respectively. Jacobs also took the victory in the 500-yard freestyle. The women remained undefeated until Nov. 2 when they traveled to Muncie, Ind. The ladies swam in a dual match against Ball State University which they lost 154-146. "When we lost to Ball State, we started concentrating and became more focused," Sickafus said. "We decided that we did not want that to happen again." The season continued for the women as they picked up three more victories in dual competitions and placed first at the Indiana Invitational Nov. 22-24. On Dec. 5, the women headed to the Natatorium in Indianapolis for a meet against Purdue. The ladies set Hoosier season high

records in nine events, but lost 105.5-134.5. "We have the talent,- Pease said. "But for some reason we haven't been able to put it together." When the women returned from their two weeks of intensive training in Hawaii, they began their spring season. On Jan. 18, Illinois and University of Notre Dame met the Hoosiers at the Counsilman/Billingsley Aquatics Center. The Hoosiers lost 199.5-98.5 to the Illini, but bounced back and defeated the Fighting Irish 154.5-145.5. For the remainder of the season, IU faced only Big Ten opponents. And unfortunately, the Hoosiers lost three of their last four meets.

"We have the talent. But for some reason we haven't been able to put it together," - Freshman Melissa Pease Big Ten Championships took place Feb. 20 as the women returned to IUPUI's Natatorium. IU finished eighth overall, but had many team members score their best times of the season. Sickafus, unfortunately, sat on the bench with an injury to her right shoulder. "When you practice every day you get sick of it," Sickafus said. "But I never realized how much I'd miss it, especially at Big Tens. I wanted to jump in and help, but instead I sat there and cheered." The Hoosiers broke two school records at the championships. The 200 yard medley relay with seniors Tracy Cook and Mamie Record and sophomores All-American Jen Brooks and Becky Kamberg set a new school record when they swam 1:44.80. In the 400-yard medley relay, Cook, Kamberg, Record and senior Ann Barish broke the record with 3:50.79. Individually, Brooks finished third in the 100-yard butterfly with her season best time of :55.38 qualifying her for the NCAA Championships. In the diving well, senior All-American Jenny Dixon won the one meter and three-meter springboard and qualified for the NCAAs. "I think it (the season) went really well," Sickafus said. "We didn't do as well as we would have liked. The practices were harder and they made us work harder. But stillwe could have done better and we should have."

Brooks placed 15th in the 100-yard butterfly with a time of :54.9 breaking her previous school record. For the second year in a row, the Hoosiers finished their season with an overall winning record 8-7. "I think we were a little disappointed with the way we finished. We would have liked to finish higher at Big Tens," Coach Nancy Nitardv said. "But our freshmen did a wonderful job."

New Altitude

By Kathryn Knapp

Men's swimming and diving team trains in Colorado

ntensive training for 17 days prepared the undefeated men's swimming and diving team for the second half of its season. Over winter break, the men traveled to Colorado Springs, Colo. where they practiced at the Olympic Training Center. While there, the Hoosiers lost a meet to University of California at Berkeley 13272. "All we did for two weeks was swim, eat and sleep," sophomore Tony Manna said. "It was a good base for what we had coming up in spring." The men stayed in dorms while training and got to know each other as people, not just teammates. "We never really get a chance to talk," Manna said. "We found out what people were training for and what they wanted to achieve.'" Training in Colorado challenged the Hoosiers. "Training at that altitude was a lot more difficult," sophomore John Carlson said. "I feel that spending time there led us into a good season that we finished off nicely with a third place finish." Jumping ahead early benefited the men's swim team. The men dominated the water with the first meet of the fall season against Butler University. The Hoosiers defeated the Bulldogs 51-40. IU managed to gain three more victories and first place at the Indiana Invite before traveling to Colorado. When the men returned to the Midwest they headed to Columbus, Ohio. On Jan. 17-18 the men faced Ohio State and Penn State and defeated both of them. The Hoosiers' record stood at 5-1. With only four matches left in the season, IU looked good overall. Their conference record stood at 2-1. Feb. 1 the men hosted Michigan

State. They pulled off their last conference win 165.5-73.5. "We have a tendency to dig ourselves holes in meets and we've done good at getting out of them," Carlson said. "But it would be better if we could just take charge right from the gate." IU hosted the Big Ten Championships Feb. 21 at the Counsilman/Billingsley Aquatics Center. Divers led the way finishing at the top in three events. In the 3-meter event IU finished first (freshman Tom Davidson) second (Sophomore Mike Collier) and fourth (freshman Ryan Kosanic). Freshman Jon Repetti placed 15th on the 3-meter springboard. The Big Ten honored Collier as Diver of the Year, Davidson as Freshman of the Year and Diving Coach Dr. Jeff Huber as Coach of the Year.

"All we did for two weeks was eat, sleep and swim," - sophomore Tony Manna On the swimming side, senior Greg Ruminski led the Hoosiers finishing second in both the 100 (48.40) and 200-yard backstroke (1:44.15) events. Both times he broke the IU record books and earned All-Big Ten honors. "We put on a very good competition in a great facility," Coach Kris Kirchner said. "And people want to come back." Junior Justin Schnute sat and watched his team compete at Big Tens. Schnute spent most of the seasonout of the water after having a persistent illness. He had surgery in December and finally began training again in March. "It was hard for me not to be able to compete in Big Tens," Schnute said. "Overall I think it was a good finish at Big Tens. It was the highest finish we've had in awhile." As the season came to an end, the Hoosiers traveled Minneapolis, Minn. for the NCAA Championships March 27-29. Heading into the meet the Speedo America's College Coaches' continued poll ranked the men 21st. Against Michigan, sophomore Tom Davis leads the 200-yard breaststroke and finishes first. The Hoosiers hosted the Wolverines and lost 152-91 putting their conference record at 2-1 and overall record at 5-2.

A single diver helped the men's swimming and diving team place 20th at the NCAA Championships. Collier placed highest for the Hoosier with a fifth place finish in the three-meter springboard. He also placed 11th on both the one-meter springboard and the platform scoring 26 points for IU. Other Hoosiers battled for the NCAA Champion title. Ruminski placed seventh in the 200-yard backstroke and 10th in the 100-yard backstroke. He set record times in both events. Junior Rob Iglinski placed seventh in the 400-yard individual medley and 21st in the 200-yard individual medley. All three athletes received All-American honors. "We had a very successful season," Kirchner said. "We had some improvement from last year. Overall it was fulfilling. However, I would have liked to do better."L-1 Above: Competing in the 200-yard butterfly, freshman Jeff Ostermann swims his way to a fifth place finish against Michigan Jan. 25 at the Counsilman Aquatics Center.

Tough Competition

By LaMond Pope

Wrestlers improve despite facing eight top 25 teams

he Big Ten Conference always had tough competition, and the wrestling team prided itself on victory. When time came for the Big Ten Championships, however, the squad ran into a problem. The Hoosiers had not captured a Big Ten title since 1990. Senior All-American Roger Chandler worked four years to win a Big Ten Championship title and this season he achieved it. Chandler defeated Minnesota's Jason Davids 13-6 to win the 142-pound class title. "He wrestled a great (championship)," Coach Duane Goldman said. "He dominated every guy he wrestled. It was a great win for the program." IU had a less successful regular season. Faced with eight meets against top 25 foes, the Hoosiers struggled to a 9-8 overall record. The season began Nov. 23 with the Hoosiers competing in the St. Louis Open. Chandler won his first tournament title in the 142-pound weight class. Teammate sophomore Mike Powell made it to the final round at 177 pounds. At the Northern Open in Madison, Wis. the following weekend, Chandler cruised through the competition to take his second consecutive tournament title. The team wrestled University of Missouri Dec. 5 for the first home meet. Freshman James Torres wrestled first for the team and earned the only pin of the meet, and helped lead IU to a 32-12 win. "I don't like starting off. I was a little nervous and put pressure on myself," Torres said. "I wanted to set a tone for the team and get us off to a good start." IU reached a season highlight by maintaining a three-meet winning streak at the end of January. But then the team hit a low at the beginning of February when it dropped four in a row: No. 4 Penn State, No. 24 University of Pittsburgh, No. 11 Michigan and Ohio State. "The bottom line is that they (wrestlers) are not doing anything on their own to get better, and they are suffering the consequences of that," Goldman said. continued

I lampered by injuries throughout the season, IU prepared its squad for No. 19 Purdue's visit to Assembly Hall Feb. 16. The Hoosiers reclaimed bragging rights as state champions, defeating the Boilermakers 20-11. This was a sweet victory for us," Goldman said. "It's nice to seal a victory against your rivals." After battling injuries throughout the season, Powell overcame a shoulder problem and helped the team get back to where it needed to be. His 3-1 victory of Mark Colegrow helped the Hoosiers defeat the Boilermakers. "The team morale had been down," Powell said. "(Against Purdue) we showed a lot of heart."

The wrestlers then moved on to the Big Ten Championships in Minneapolis, Minn. IU improved on its 1995-96 season's 11th place and finished ninth. Seniors Trevor Elliott, Ben Nachtrieb, Chandler and Powell and qualified for the NCAA Tournament. Competing in Cedar Falls, Iowa at the NCAA Championships, the Hoosiers tied Wisconsin for 16th place. Chandler, ranked second in the nation by Amateur Wrestling News, won his first four matches to reach the championships. There he met Lock Haven University's Cary Kolat, who beat him at the USAir/NWCA Wrestling All-Star Match Feb. 3. Kolat defeated Chandler 6-2. For the season, Chandler finished 34-2 overall, 17-0 in dual

matches, 7-0 in the Big Ten and 17-1 in tournament action. He broke two records in his last season. He broke the school's career record for victories by seven and finished with 134 wins. He also set the record for career pins at 40. "I'm happy with (the record)," Chandler said. "Coach tells me that we need the points, so I try to get a pin. I wasn't going out to set a record." With the rash of injuries and moments of inconsistent wrestling, the Hoosiers found success in their youngest team members. Freshman Tim Myers stepped in for injured Elliott and finished 17-4. Freshman Pat Cassidy saw a lot of action at the 118 and 126-pound classes. And while healthy, Torres added a spark for IU finishing 17-5. Competing in the always tough Big Ten took its toll on IU. The Hoosiers' non-conference record stood at 7-3 while in the Big Ten they mustered only two victories, finishing 2-5. "It was a rough season," Powell said. "We had a lot of ups and downs, but at the end we came together as a team. We may not have scored as high as we would have liked, but we learned from it (the season)."

efore the sun began to peek through the )trees, the Crew team headed 15 miles east of campus to Lake Lemon, The team unpacked its equipment and began its morning workout through the mist of the lake. "There are times when I hit the snooze alarm and groan," IU Crew president junior Sarah Taylor said. "When you don't want to get up you remember that eight other people depend on you and if you don't go to practice they can't row." Practice took place outside during the fall and spring seasons regardless of the weather. They trained in every type of weather (including snow); and competed three times in downpours during the spring season. The only conditions to stop competition or practice were thunderstorms and high winds. "We've raced in snow before," Coach David Pook said. We try to practice in every kind of weather to prepare us. I don't think bad conditions hurt us at all." Aside from the on-water training, the team also ran and completed endurance exercises such as running to Lake Griffy or the stairs at Memorial Stadium. During winter months, the team headed indoors to the Wildermuth Intramural Center and the Student Recreational Sports Center for more

rigorous training. Indoor training included working with land rowing machines and Ergometers, commonly called "Ergs." The athletes trained for at least 20 minutes five clays a week. Practice paid for the team members as they earned 208 medals during the fall season alone. The spring season won the team about 100 more medals. Pook felt more practice time caused their fall performance to be better. "I'm not trying to make an excuse," Pook said. "But in spring we don't get in the water until after spring break. The season starts the next week." Rowing successfully took the entire team to work together. Being a crew member demanded a special desire — someone who really wanted to do it. Unlike other sports, it required rowers to move in unison with every athlete in a four or eight-man boat in order for things to go smoothly. "We try to copy each other in the boat as a team," sophomore rower Stephanie McCallister said. "It grows into a bond that is more than just in the boat because we strive to be in such good sync on the water and strive to work together. It's unavoidable that it carries over on the land." Differences existed between the fall and spring rowing seasons. In the fall season, the team competed in 6000 meter races. These courses

curved and turned depending on the river. The spring season consisted of straight sprints roughly 2000 meters in length. In addition to the distance difference, athletes increased their physical stamina because the boats competed more than once a day during the sprint season. Divided into four or eight-man boats, classification depended on gender, weight, experience and number. The men weighed less than 160 pounds and the women weighed 130 pounds or less to race in a lightweight boat. Although they trained together, men and women took part in separate competitions.

The coxswain helped steer, gave commands and accompanied each boat during a regatta. The team rowed in a specific pattern to win. Rowing consisted of four main parts: the drive, release, recovery and catch, creating a continuous motion that has endpoints. "It's like box," sophomore Becca Robbins said. "The blade is dropped in when you drive, drawing the bottom of the box, the blade pops out the other side, which is the recovery. Drawing the top of the box with catch position, feathering the blade parallel to the water and it starts to draw it again."

Above: Coxswain of the men's four boat, freshman Nick Marino, pauses after a brisk morning practice. The team hit the water at Lake Lemon at 5:30 a.m. during fall and spring. In winter, the team headed indoors to the SRSC or the HPER to work with land rowing machines and ergometers.

Along with practicing on the water, crew members ran stairs at Memorial Stadium and to Lake Griffy to build their endurance.

The daily training and practice was geared for obtaining one thing: the swing. "Swing is the ultimate goal of the boat," Robbins said. "It's when everyone is perfect in the water and all of the oarsmen have the rhythm of the stroke together — when the blades come out of the water and swing all the way back. On recovery all four or eight oars are in perfect sync." IU Crew competed to the best of their ability and found that, "Winning breeds winning. Once you start winning you don't want to stop," freshman coxswain Nick Marino said. "It makes everyone want to work harder so it doesn't stop." At the Big Ten Rowing Championships the team battled through another downpour. "We had mixed results at the Big Ten Tournament," Pook said. "It was another downpour, but we did win medals in both men's and women's races. It was our hardest race all year. Big Ten racing is very strong." Senior rower Joel Feinberg received a medal for his boat's performance. "This medal symbolizes a lot more since I switched over from cross-country to the crew team," Feinberg said. "Crew is more of a team sport. We practiced all winter long for this. When you bring home a medal, it makes it all worth while." Wearing torn leggings and sweat-soaked shirts, rowers listened to the coaches talk in the aftermath of the race. Emotion overtook the team as hugs, handshakes and an occasional spirited chant for their teammates emerged from the rowers. Finishing out the season, with sunny skies and satisfaction, the crew competed at their last regatta in the nation's capital. "It was fantastic to go to Washington D.C.," Pook said. "It was a historic place to row. Our performance is a culmination of a year's worth of work — it's not a freak accident. As a coach, I'm always looking forward instead of at yesterday. The successes were yesterday. Come Monday morning after a race, all medals go in the drawer and the rowers are medalless for that week."

Chuck

Crabb

ften called the "Voice of Indiana Athletics," Associate Athletic Director Chuck Crabb spoke with one of the most recognizable voices in Bloomington. And although his name may not have been as well known as his announcing, fans and students alike joined in with him to introduce the Indiana "Hoo-o-siers." Crabb began his extensive announcing career while working for his undergraduate degree. In 1971 while still attending classes, he announced football statistics and became the primary announcer for track and field. He graduated in 1973, but his involvement with IU continued. In 1976, IU's Public Address Announcer of 40 years retired, leaving the position open. Tom Miller, athletic director at the time, told Crabb the position was his. Crabb interviewed, but decided to put the idea of becoming Public Address Announcer on hold. Instead, he took a job in athletic fund-raising. In September 1977, Crabb took the job as the Public Address Announcer after numerous applicants failed to fit what the department was looking for. He was named an associate athletic director, and in addition to his announcing, he coordinated security for home events, and organized traffic control and facility maintenance. "I've done every football game since September of 1977 and every men's basketball game starting in 1977 until I broke my string in 1994 when Indiana went to the NCAA soccer final in Davidson, N.C.," Crabb said. "So I missed the Indiana Classic that year. It had been 18 years — not bad 18 years and two games. So, I've gotta start over." His impressive attendance record generated other incredible opportunities. "The neat thing about any of the announcing has been the networking that I've been able to do and the friends I've been able to make," Crabb said. "It's afforded me some great travel opportunities: working two Olympics, working 11 Olympic festivals in different cities, the chance to do World Cup '94 in Chicago, and then, of course, the cameo appearance in Blue Chips." During the 1984 Olympic games in Los Angeles, Crabb served as interview room manager at the main press center. He organized a room of about 600 seats for athletes and coaches from different countries for television, radio, newspaper and magazine exposure. "So there I was, sitting between some of the world's greatest athletes during that period moderating press conferences," Crabb said. "It was quite an opportunity. It also had some free time, so I was able to go out and see

other sports during the Olympics, see a little bit of Los Angeles and kinda be a tourist. That was a lot of fun which I contrast with the experience in 1996." The 1996 Centennial Olympics in Atlanta presented Crabb with a new task as competition manager for track and field events. He coordinated television coverage, stadium screens and events so spectators saw the same coverage as home-viewers. "That ended up being an experience that became very draining both physically and mentally," Crabb said. "My involvement was about 18 months in getting ready for it." During the 11 weeks of grueling work, Crabb worked 10 straight 20-hour days. He slept on a cotin a competition manager's office to avoid the congestion caused by thousands of Atlanta visitors. Not that participating in two Olympics was enough, between the two Games, Crabb experienced what most people only watch on television. "One of the greatest thrills I've ever had in announcing an event was in 1983 at the Olympic Festival in Colorado Springs," Crabb said. "Evelyn Ashford and Calvin Smith set back-to-back world and American records in the 100-meter within a 15 minutes — that just doesn't happen." The cameo appearance in the 1994 movieBlue chips, mirrored his work in Bloomington. He introduced basketball greats Shaquille O'Neal and Penny Hardaway, and former IU standout Matt Nover during a mock game between IU and Western University. His face, however, never made it to the silver screen. "Those are some of the doors that being here at IU have helped open," Crabb said. "It's very humbling, certainly, the recognition that comes from that association. I'm just a background player trying to help to present things well for the athletic public. The students, athletes and coaches make this institution so outstanding." Crabb said he was not that important even though his voice was well-known by sports fans. Marching Hundred members felt differently and because of his reoccurring support for the band, they named one of their pep bands the "Crabb Band." "He's a powerful figure," junior member Jay Goulet said. "His voice is the power of the game. When he speaks, it seems like everything is clicking." Football Coach Bill Mallory acknowledged Crabb for his support of the football program. "I have great respect for him," Mallory said. "He is one of the most conscientious. hard-working individuals we have on the media staff.-

Losing the Struggle BY M ke

Hcks

Women's basketball fails to make NCAA Tournament fter 18 consecutive losses, the Hoosiers a traveled to Purdue to compete with the Boilers. The see-saw battle ended with a lastsecond shot by a Hoosier. With 10 seconds remaining on the clock, sophomore guard Dani Thrush saw a chance and took it. She drove down the center of the lane, laid in the ball and gave the Hoosiers a one-point lead. Purdue regained possession of the ball and sent it soaring toward the basket in an attempt for a three-pointer. It fell short. The Hoosiers left West Lafayette, Ind. carrying the Barn Burner Trophy for the first time in school history. Pleased with the victory, coach Jim Izard celebrated with his team and reflected on the game. "Dani can hit that shot nine out of 10 times in practice," head coach Jim Izard said. "That is just an ability that she has." Senior Bridget Porter recorded her first of two consecutive double-doubles against Purdue by scoring 13 points and hauling down 14 rebounds. Porter focused on the victory against the state rival. "Finally is the word," Porter said. "We finally got Purdue." The non-conference season began with No. 12 Western Kentucky University travelling to Bloomington Nov. 24. The Lady Hoosiers fought hard against the Lady Toppers and caused the game to go into overtime. Senior guard Tatjana Vesel scored her season and career high 25 points and grabbed eight rebounds. After a 13-2 run by the Toppers, IU lost its first game 85-74. Three days later, IU welcomed University of Evansville. An 82-51 victory gave the Hoosiers their first win. The victory lifted the Hoosiers' spirits and prepared them for the annual Full0-Pep Classic Nov. 29-30. In the tournament's ninth year, the Hoosiers held a record of 15-1. They won the first round defeating Loyola MarymountI Tniversity 82-65. Standing at 6'5," junior center Quacy Barnes has no problem

The Hoosiers struggled in the championship round. Led by junior Quacy Barnes with a career high 29 points, the ladies battled, but it was not enough. The University of Toledo won by a single bucket, 82-80. The Hoosiers gained a win against Valparaiso University and then packed their bags. They headed to Muncie, Ind. for the Big Four Classic Dec. 8 where they faced Indiana State University. Although expected to win the game, the Hoosiers struggled and ended the first half down by four points, 33-29. During the second half, Vesel tied the game at 36 with a threepoint basket and things began to turn around for the team. The Hoosiers outscored the Sycamores 16-6 and won 66-57. "Going into Big Ten season, we felt we could go in and place in the top three, and maybe even win it all," Porter said. "We had a decent record going into the conference season. We accomplished some of our goals, including beating Purdue, but not all of them."

"Finally is the word. We finally got Purdue." - Senior Bridget Porter Starting the Big Ten season with a 7-3 record, the Hoosiers traveled to Michigan State in East Lansing, Mich., where the ladies fell to the Spartens 62-54. Next, the Hoosiers hosted Minnesota in their first Big Ten home game and won 67-61 behind a 17 point performance by Vesel. Losing to No. 21 ranked Penn State dampened the Hoosiers' spirits. With a dissapointing start in Big Ten play, the Hoosiers prepared for No. 11 Wisconsin Jan. 12. Winning in a buzzerbeater finish, IU defeated the Badgers 74-72 and gave Coach Izard his 300th career victory. Michigan became the team's next victim as the Hoosiers defeated the Wolverines on their home court 72-59. The Hoosiers left Ann Arbor, Mich. with a 3-2 record. "A lot of games in the beginning of the season we lost in the last minute or minute and a half," Barnes said. "We shouldn't have lost those, but we did get a couple of key wins on the road. We'll always take those." Conference play continued with wins against Purdue and

Michigan, and loses to Illinois, Iowa and Ohio State. The team traveled to Madison Wis. looking to end its rollercoaster season Feb. 6. The Hoosiers entered the game with a conference record of 5-6 and a much needed victory would put them back into the conference race. The audience roared as they watched a nail-biting game and the Hoosiers squeaked out of Wisconsin, 59-54. "Playing at Wisconsin is amazing," sophomore Kristi Green said. "You can't even hear yourself think when you play. It was great to be able to beat them on their home court." The team ended its conference season the same way they began it: with a loss to No. 19 Michigan state. The Hoosiers needed this victory to finish .500 in the Big Ten and qualify for the NCAA Tournament. The Spartans had other plans. The eventual co-Big Ten Champions led most of the game and

pulled 93-79 win. Five Hoosier players scored double figures including Barnes, Vesel, and sophomores Summar Maines and Kristi Green who all had 14 and Thrush with 11. With the regular season over, the Hoosiers headed to Indianapolis for the Big Ten Tournament. No. 8 seeded IU faced No. 9 seeded Michigan in round one action. The Lady Hoosiers dominated the game, winning 72-54. The next game paired IU with No. 1 seeded Purdue. The Hoosiers sent the Boilers packing with a 61-54 victory. Porter recorded her second double-double of the year with 18 points and 12 rebounds. Her teammates carried her off the court. "It feels great," Vesel said. "We are just so excited. There is just no feeling to describe this. The Hoosiers defied the odds by making it to the semifinal round. But their luck ran out when the Iowa Hawkeyes beat

them 87-53. The Hoosiers kept it close in the first half trailing only by five, but the Iowa went on a 50-21 second half run and ended the Lady Hoosiers' season. "It is all about desire," Porter said. "We came here to do one thing — win the tournament." Although the Lady Hoosiers did not make NCAA Tournament, they finished with a 16-13 overall record and placed eighth in the Big Ten at 7-9. In those seven wins, IU made a clean sweep of nationally ranked Wisconsin, Purdue, Michigan and Minnesota. "I've always felt we could beat anyone in the conference," Barnes said. "I think the last game of the tournament we were mentally fatigued." All-Big Ten selections named Barnes, who averaged 13.8 points per game and led the conference with 3.3 blocks per

game, to the third team. Green earned Honorable Mention honors by scoring double-figures in 19 out of 29 games. "We lost a lot of close games that we shouldn't have, maybe because we were young," Green said. "We gave it a run at the end of the season, but it wasn't enough. And now that you look back at it, if we would have won just a couple more games we would have been there." Vesel finished the season averaging 13.1 points per game and finished her career as IU's 10th all-time leading scorer. In four years, Vesel missed only six games. Porter ended her collegate basketball career and began practicing javelin throwing for track season. She said she hoped to both play and coach basketball someday. "I feel like I accomplished a lot in my years here," Porter said. "IU gave me a good start and now I have to finish it.- in

Men's basketball draws national attention with controversy

fter a third consecutive loss in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, Knight called a few players in for a conference March 14. Juniors Neil Reed, Richard Mandeville, Andrae Patterson and Robbie Eggers arrived at Assembly Hall to meet with Knight. Before they stepped out of the building, the rumors had started. On March 17, IU officials published a press release trying to dispel rumors: "At the end of each season Indiana Head Basketball Coach Bob Knight talks with players, especially upperclassmen, as to what he expects from them, what their role might be for the next season and what options he feels might be best for them. Coach Knight has done this again this year with the seniors-to-be and despite rumors, no changes have been made on the Indiana University basketball team." While Patterson and Mandeville's families said there was not a problem, Reed's father, an assistant coach at University of Southern Mississippi, said the family would make an announcement soon. Reed, who averaged 12.6 points and 2.9 rebounds per game, announced March 19 in a press release he would not return to the basketball program, but would finish the semester. "For the past three years Coach Knight has continued his long standing tradition of verbal attacks and physical assaults on his players and his coaches. I have personally been at the forefront of those focused attacks during my time at IU." Knight denied the accusation and IU officials said they would investigate. Reed soon left town. "I just feel that for whatever the reason our system and his play has not been particularly compatible," Knight said on CNNSI. "I think that for him to really enjoy his senior year and really play, I told him that he's got to find a coach who wants him to play as he wants to play. I think that's important to him." Reed remained enrolled but stopped attending classes at the Bloomington campus. His roommates, junior Charlie Miller and Patterson, became the hottest items in town with people wanting to know the real story. Rumors, once again, circulated about Knight's retirement as Reed became the seventh player in five years to leave the program early to

attend another school. The Herald Times, Indiana Daily Student and the Indianapolis Star wrote numerous articles questioning Knight's ability to compete in the modern game and others which backed The General. Events slowly calmed until the May 12 issue ofSports Illustrated created yet another controversy. Fans and critics once again became emotional with an article titled "Knight Errant." The article questioned whether the game had passed Knight by and allegedly interviewed a number of Knight's friends and players. The basketball team quickly responded with a letter toSports Illustrated saying the article was not accurate and they were not given a chance to speak. SI said they stood by the article. Criticism of Knight and the Hoosier program did not surprise fans or players, but regardless of the opinions and controversies, the Hoosiers finished with a winning season. IU ended with a record of 22-11, captured the Preseason Chase NIT Tournament Title for the first time since 1992 and made it to the NCAA Tournament.

"You know I've done everything I can to get leadership out of those juniors. To hell with it. I'm done trying," - Coach Bob Knight For the third consecutive season, the team began by turning

heads with its smart play and ability to win important games. University of Connecticut met the Hoosiers at the RCA Dome in Indianapolis to battle. The last time the two teams met, UConn won, 86-52, during the 1995-96 season. Going into half-time, UConn held a two-point advantage. But second half, the Hoosiers outplayed the Huskies. IU took the lead with 16:34 remaining. The Huskies fought their way back within three points, but fouled twice. IU took advantage of the charity baskets and won 68-61. The Hoosiers battled the University of Evansville in the 12th annual Chase Preseason NIT Tournament after knocking off Princeton University 59-49 and Saint Louis University 70-54. The lead bounced between the two teams and with the clock running out, Evansville held a one-point lead. Fending off what could have been a major collegiate upset, Patterson once again pulled the team out of trouble with a last-second shot to win the game.

Play remained close until the final minutes. With 4:09 to go, the Hoosiers held a small 69-63 advantage. In a fiery scoring run, the Hoosiers outscored the Blue Devils 16-6. Although the team entered the game as the underdog, the Hoosiers won 8569 to take the tournament title. Patterson earned tournament MVP honors for scoring 59 points and collecting nine rebounds and three blocks. He scored a career-high 39 points against Duke. With a record of 6-0 and a No. 8 ranking, the Hoosiers traveled to the RCA Dome for an annual battle with No. 6 University of Kentucky. The game started ugly and never turned around. In the first half, IU turned the ball over 19 times

and entered the second half trailing UK 55-31. The Wildcats embarrassed the Hoosiers 99-65. "The coaches are really looking for us to step it up," freshman walk-on Luke Jimenez said. "That's part of the whole season here — take a loss and then bounce back. I think we can and will. This team is really tough minded and we'll just have to see what happens." The remaining preseason play found the Hoosiers collecting seven more wins. Their record stood at 13-1 and rose to No. 6 in national rankings. "Everything that we have wanted to do to this point in the season we've done. All but one," Knight said. "I feel pretty good about what we've been able to accomplish, not so good about how we've done it." Michigan State traveled to Bloomington Jan. 2 to open Big Ten Season play. IU won the game 77-65 with freshman Jason Collier leading the Hoosiers in scoring with 25 points. "I thought that the first half for us was as good a half of basketball as this team has ever played," Knight said. "It was really a good half against a good team and a team that has played well. Second half, the difference for us was the play of those three guards: Lewis, Guyton and Reed. They are three of our five or six best players." As Big Ten play continued, the downward slide of the Hoosier's record began. They dropped a game at Wisconsin and then returned home where they were undefeated. The season streak ended in an overtime 96-91 loss to Minnesota. "It was an outstanding basketball game regardless of who you were pulling for tonight," Minnesota coach Clem Haskins said. "It was an outstanding game. If we'd have lost, I would have said the same thing. We're very, very fortunate to win this game and very pleased at the same time. Because any time you play a Bob Knight team, you're going to be in for a battle." IU had the home court advantage for a Jan. 21 battle with Michigan. However, Patterson, who led the team with 16.4 points and 7.4 rebounds per game, remained on the bench with a slight dislocation of his left knee cap. The teams swapped control with the Hoosiers outscoring the Wolverines by 11 points in the first half and Michigan outscoring IU by nine points in the second. The game was in anybody's hands until the final seconds. With 6:17 left on the clock, Reed hit a three-pointer which gave IU a 10-point advantage. Michigan scored eight points giving IU a two-point lead with 3:17 on the clock. The ball went back and forth until eight seconds remained on the clock. A Wolverine had his hands on the ball and shot a three-pointer. The ball bounced off the rim and landed in the hands of freshman Aj. Guyton. IU won and leveled the conference record at 3-3. As the season continued and playing intensity waned, team leadership became an issue. The juniors and senior lacked the qualities Knight asked for, so he made changes. The freshmen played more minutes and the varsity players spent more time on the bench. Knight started Guyton along with juniors Eggers, Miller. Patterson and Reed in the Illinois game. At the half, ILI trailed the Illini 37-33 and Knight stirred up the line-up just a little hit more.

Guyton, Miller and Patterson remained for the start of the second half, but freshmen Jimenez and Larry Richardson replaced Reed and Eggers starting positions. The Hoosiers lost 78-74, but the Illini's biggest lead was only four points. Fans and the media questioned Knight's decision. "We need leadership," he said "I'm gonna get it with the freshmen. It's just that simple. You know I've done everything I can to get leadership out of those juniors. To hell with it. I'm done trying.' After one more loss at Iowa, the Hoosiers won three straight including a close call in Ann Arbor, Mich. Their conference record stood at 7-6 as they awaited Purdue's arrival. The Boilermakers arrived in Bloomington Feb. 18. As the game began, the fans strongly voiced opinions booing Boilermakers and cheering Hoosiers. Patterson failed to get the tip off and Purdue's Brian Cardinal took possession. Cardinal scored two points and kept the lead for 72 seconds until the ball landed in Collier's hands. Collier answered the Boilermakers with a slam dunk. With the score tied at 27-27 and 4:43 remaining, Miller fouled. As the player arrived at the line, there was commotion from the Hoosier bench. Knight came off the bench and screamed at officials for allowing the wrong player to shoot. The officials handed him a technical. An immediate roar echoed through Assembly Hall as the officials gathered to correct their mistake. They canceled the three points and Mike Robinson, the player who was fouled, went to the line. He missed the first, but made both technical shots giving Purdue a two-point advantage. continued

The game progressed with aggression on both sidelines as well as on the court. Fans became brutal as the game went into overtime. IU's sloppy play handed Purdue the win and evened IU's conference record at 7-7. "You couldn't see a better basketball game. It was a tremendous effort by both teams," Purdue Head Coach Gene Keady said. "It's a shame anybody has to lose. I figured it would be us." Northwestern came to IU Feb. 22. From the moment the game started, something seemed strange. Knight chose to start freshmen Collier, Jimenez, Lewis and Guyton and sophomore Richard Mandeville. Nothing seemed to go the way it was supposed to. With 7:19 left in the first half, Michael Lewis was called for a foul. Lewis, confused by the call, looked distraught. When the referees took back the call and charged it to Guyton, who actually committed the foul, things only got worse. The inside game got rough and Evan Eschmeyer, the Big Ten's top center, repeatedly fouled Hoosiers. Knight finally

decided to demonstrate what was happening to referee Steve Welmer. Weimer charged Knight with a technical foul. Knight followed him, trying to plead his case. Welmer gave him a second foul and sent Knight to the locker room. "Coach told our guys 'If we're going to get beat, I'm going to get beat. I'm going to give it all I got,- assistant coach Dan Dakich said. "I think it was obviously something that he felt right about and he got tossed." The Hoosiers added another loss against Minnesota to their record and returned home for senior night. The Hoosiers pulled off their last win of the season against Wisconsin and gave Knight his 700th career victory. With the crowd shouting chants of "Hans," Mujezinovic made the last shot of the game — a three-pointer 30 seconds after the buzzer. He finished the game shooting 4-4 at the line with eight points and seven rebounds. "The thing that I regret the most about our association with Hans is that we didn't get him coming right out of high school,"

Knight said. "I really believe that had he had the opportunity to be here for five years he would have been one of our all-time best basketball players. How about from hoping that he'd make a free throw last year to him hitting four in a row at the end of the game?" After the fans showed their appreciation for Mujezinovic and shouts of "Haris" slowed down, Mujezinovic stepped up to take the microphone. "I would like to take this opportunity to thank Coach Knight and assistants," he said. "They've not only made me a better basketball player and better free-throw shooter, but they have really made me a better person and I thank you for that." Knight looked to the fans and thanked them for their support during the rocky season, promising they would one day be celebrating. "We're all going to be in here cheering sometime for something a little bit more than having won a game," he said. "I promise you that."

Women's tennis ends season at 19-9 despite injuries ith the score tied at three, the women's tennis W team anxiously waited for the last match to end. On April 12, the reigning Big Ten Champions, No. 16 Wisconsin, traveled to Bloomington. Although expected to be the underdogs, the No. 33 Hoosiers put up a fight even without their No. 1 player Correne Stout who sat out with an ankle injury. The Hoosiers won the last match upsetting the Badgers 4-3. With a 5-2 win over Northwestern the next day, IU won its first back-to back victories since early March. The season started with a 6-1 victory over Marquette University and improved as the Hoosiers swept their next three opponents. IU held an undefeated record until they faced Duke University March 2. With a score of 8-1, Duke gave IU its first loss of the season. As the women traveled to West Lafayette, Ind. April 24, they prepared themselves for the Big Ten Championships hosted by Purdue. Going into competition, they held a 14-7 record overall and a 9-1 record in conference play. In round one the No. 2-seeded Hoosiers swept Penn State 4-0. In the semifinal round, they faced Wisconsin and defeated the Badgers 4-1. Securing their fourth win, the players celebrated. Senior Lizl Coetsee described the win as a "sweet victory." "We proved that the first win was not a fluke, and it put us through to the finals of the Big Tens," Coetsee said. Playing three matches in three days concerned Coach Lin Loring. Not only did the Hoosiers become exhausted, but injuries became a factor in the final round of play. IU faced No. 1 seeded Michigan. The two teams met April 5 and the Hoosiers fell 4-3. The rematch found the Hoosiers struggling. IU could not keep up with Michigan and fell 4-1. "We couldn't rest anyone the whole tournament," Loring said. "It finally caught up with us." Despite the loss, the team placed second in the conference with a record of 11-2. "We came in second, but we definitely put ourselves in the position to win, which is the next best thing an athlete can do," junior Megan Racey said. An injury plagued Hoosier squad finished

the season 19-9 overall, placing second in the Big Ten with an 11-2 record. "We were kind of like a horse with a broken leg dragging to the finish line," Loring said. "We didn't play 100 percent and we still finished second in the conference."

Men's tennis opens Big Ten season with four straight wins

or the first time since 1993, men's tennis did not begin its Big Ten season 0-3. In fact, the team went undefeated in its first four conference meets during the Big Ten season, and finished ranked fourth in the conference. Although the season started out rocky with losses at Illinois Invitational, the team rebounded with a fourth place finish at the O'Charles Classic. The Hoosiers upset University of Tennessee 5-2, but then lost to University of Virginia and Michigan. A shoulder injury to key player senior Kevin Gabel sidelined him for most of the preseason. After losing to No. 7 University of Kentucky. the Hoosiers dominated the Indiana Winter Invitational. Overall, the team finished 21-11 in singles and 11-5 in doubles, placing first in three of the four singles flights. After losing to University of Notre Dame 5-2, the Hoosiers began their Big Ten season. "Things change from here on in," junior Andrew Held said. Now we get to compete as a team." Within 24 hours, the Hoosiers were 2-0 in the Big Ten, heating both Minnesota and Iowa 4-3. IU had not won a match against the Golden Gophers in 12 years. Minnesota, a perennial powerhouse in the Big Ten, won four of the last five Big Ten titles and seven of the past 12. Junior Derek Pope said fan support played a key role in the victory. "The fans won that match for us," Pope said. "We were tied at 1-1 in doubles, and the match came down to break point. The fans were so loud, it was really great." After IU's victory over Minnesota, David Geatz, Minnesota's head coach, said, "IU has a lot more talent this year. They are the one team that the rest of the Big Ten really has to watch out for." The Hoosiers went on to heat Ohio State and Michigan State before losing their first Big Ten match to Michigan March 30. Michigan, the reigning Big Ten Champion, already beat IU 4-0 in Jan. The team then lost to the conference leader Northwestern April 5. During non-conference matches during spring break, senior Kevin Gabel, the only senior starter, returned to the No. 1 singles and finished 7-2. Gabel was named to the 1997 AllBig Ten Team and finished third in the voting

for the Big Ten Player of the Year, placing behind two players he beat during the Big Ten season. IU entered the Big Ten Championships with its best Big Ten record in six years, a No. 45 national ranking and seeded fifth. In the first round, the Hoosiers faced Michigan, who dominated both previous matches. The Hoosiers were victorious, but that victory marked their last of the season. IU made its first appearance in the Final Four since 1993, but was unable to beat Northwestern and Minnesota. Adding to the disappointment, Illinois upset Northwestern, who was undefeated in the Big Ten, to take the championship. "The whole (Big Ten) is a very young conference," Coach Ken Hydinger said. We certainly made a lot of progress this year.- n

Women's golf team loses Big Ten title young team took to the course and had a a prestigious title to defend. Not only did they win the Big Ten Championship title in 199596, but they won it in 1994-95 also. They craved nothing less than a three-peat. At the Big Ten Championships in East Lansing, Mich. May 2-4, the ladies competed well. At the end of day one they were only four strokes away from first place. However, their luck ran out in the fourth round of competition. Ohio State and IU went head to head in the final round, but OSU received the advantage when the team outplayed IU by 11 strokes. Sophomore Michelle Hatfield led the Hoosiers by finishing in second place. Following her, freshman Therese McDermott finished sixth. The top-10 finishes marked firsts for both Hatfield and McDermott. "It's hard to fill in with your younger players and win the Big Ten Championship," Coach Sam Carmichael said. "We didn't play up to our potential at all The ladies started off their fall season Sept. 14 at the Michigan Invitational in Ann Arbor, Mich. They won and headed to East Lansing, Mich. to compete in the National Invitational. Again the ladies won. "I did not really expect to win the Northern and that's always an important meet for us to win," Carmichael said. "We have won it nine times since 1984. So adding another win was definitely nice." The ladies finished 16th and fifth in the remaining fall tournaments. With a couple months away from competition, the team found time to practice and prepare for the spring season. On March 10th, IU opened its season in Orlando, Fla. at the Peggy Kirk Bell Invitational. Leading the Hoosiers, sophomore Erin Carney tied for fifth.

The ladies headed hack to Orlando March 15-23 for their annual spring break trip. They took part in an intense golf practice over the week. Before leaving Florida, IU stopped by Tampa to compete in the South Florida Invitational. Not only did the Hoosiers win the tournament, but they dominated the first two positions. After the first clay, the team had accumulated a score of 294. McDermott and Carney had their own battle going for first place. McDermott accumulated rounds of 73 and 75, while Carney had rounds of 73-77. McDermott led, but it wouldn't last. Carney came back day two and scored a 74 four strokes under McDermott's giving Carney the tournament title. "The competition over break pushed us all a lot," McDermott said. "I ran a lot of drills in Orlando and once we got to the tournament it all seemed together." The Hoosiers returned home after being on the road for six weeks to host the Indiana Invitational. The team had mixed emotions going into the tournament. "We won the Big Ten Tournament here last year and we know the course better than anyone," junior Jenny Gray said. "But I don't know how much of an advantage it is to be at home. Our course is par 74 and we are used to playing 72." Inclement weather stepped in the Hoosiers' way of winning their own tournament. Saturday the rain seemed as if it would never stop and when play resumed Sunday, high winds were a factor. The tournament was reduced to 36 holes. After round one, IU led by seven strokes. But in round two Ohio State came back and outplayed the Hoosiers by eight strokes. Gray and Carney finished in a second place tie. Sophomore Jennifer Seger finished 10th. "It was really disappointing for us to come in second on our home course," Hatfield said "If we had had a third round to play, it might have been different." As the season came to a close, the Hoosiers finished in the top five at two more meets ending the season with nine top-ten finishes. The ladies ended their season at the NCAA Regionals with a tenth place-finish. Gray, Carney and senior Mary Vajgrt were all named to the All-Big Ten team. "After losing No. 1 and No. 2 players (last season) we were able to win the Northern invite," Carmichael said. "We won two other tourneys and our finishes were pretty solid all year. That's more than I could have asked for."

Men's golf team strives to make NCAA Regionals t the end of the season, six teams would a compete at the NCAA Regionals. The men's golf team hoped to be one. And with determination and patience, they were. "The highlight of the season was being one of the top six teams in the region," Coach Sam Carmichael said. "That was a goal we strived for all season." However, a long season paved the way to the triumph. Starting the fall season, the men's golf team competed at the Northern Open in Columbus, Ohio. After continuous rain shortened the course to 36 holes, the men tied for ninth place. junior Randy Leen, ranked eighth in the NCAA by Rolex Collegiate Golf, led the Hoosiers and tied for second. The weekend of Oct. 28-29, IU traveled to Mobile, Ala. without team leader Leen. The men had to step their individual games up without him and finished 12th. Leen competed in the Sun Bowl All-American Tournament in El Paso, Texas and placed fifth. After a couple more tournaments, the men took a break. but resumed play March 3-4 when they traveled to Bay St. Louis, Miss. for the Bridges Classic. The Hoosiers finished 37th overall led by Leen in 12th place. "It was just our first round," junior Josh Brewer said. "Give us about a month." Brewer finished 37th, but remained confident the team would soon improve. "We really look to play competitively with teams that are in our district," he said. "Big Ten teams, especially, are our concern." The Hoosiers soon packed their bags and headed to the Seminole Classic in Tallahassee, Fla. Mardi 10-11. After the first two rounds, IU was in 15th place and finished in the same spot. During the weekend of March 29-30, IU headed to Tanglewood, Texas for an important meet.

Ten teams Purdue, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota and IU. It would be a battle for a favorable bid to the NCAA Regional Tournament in Nonnan, Okla. "They take six teams from our region to go to the regional tournament," Carmichael said. "Right now we're probably sitting seven or eight on the list." The Hoosiers focused on their short game after having drilled chipping and putting extensively during spring break. All the teams had a chance to play a practice round on the course to familiarize themselves with it. The men finished in fourth place with a combined score of 900 for the weekend's three rounds. Leen led the Hoosiers with a third place finish. Senior Don Padgett Ill placed next for IU at 24th. Arriving in Huntington, W. Va. April 11, the Hoosiers had one thing on their minds — finishing in the top three positions at the Marshall Invitational. They finished where they wanted, in third place. Padgett led the way for IU finishing in third place, just two strokes behind the leader. Teammate Leen followed four strokes behind in fourth place. Sophomore Brent Landry's 11th place finish helped his stroke average decrease from 1995-96 season's 77.9 to 77.5. "After we were clone, it was a scary thought, but Randy (Leen), myself and Josh (Brewer) didn't feel that we played up to our abilities, and we still finished third," senior Grant Schimmele said. "If lour or five of us play up to potential like Landry and Padgett did this weekend, we could be unstoppable." The Hoosiers ended their season competing at the Big Ten Tournament in Columbus, Ohio. Leen led the team to a fourth place finish with his second place. Brewer finished next for the Hoosiers in eighth place. At the NCAA Regionals, the Hoosiers finished 15th led by Leen. After a first round score of 74, Leen managed to score 71 and respectively in the next two rounds. He finished 16th overall and advanced to the NCAA Championships. Leen finished 10th at NCAA Championships and was named a first team All-American. In 43 rounds of golf, Big Ten Player of the Year Leen posted career best stroke average of 72.0. He captured the Bruce Fossum Invitational title and compiled eight top-five finishes. "As a team naturally we would have liked to get out of the NCAA Regionals," Carmichael said. "You know you have to play better than your best to get (to the NCAA tournament). We played well, but not our best." 7 ■

Rewriting the Books

By Kathryn Knapp

Men and women reset records throughout the season reaking records became a huge part of both the men's and women's track and field seasons. Whether it was a personal or b school record, every meet, especially during the outdoor season, brought new numbers to the record books. "It's been a strong outside season for us," women's Coach Roseann Wilson said. "We've had people break into the top five of records." The indoor season began Jan. 11 when the Hoosiers traveled North to face both Michigan and Michigan State. Each team lost against Michigan and won against Michigan State. The Hoosiers traveled to Champaign, Ill. Feb. 22-23 for the indoor Big Ten Championships. Junior Hilary Bruening won her second 600-meter Big Ten Title setting a school record and personal best with a time of 1:30.05. Senior Alison Morgan placed second in the shot put and junior Nathalie Belfort finished third in high jump. The women tied for ninth, last place. For the men, senior Nathan Davis and junior Zach Flemming won first and second in the shot put respectively. The team finished sixth overall. IU sent five competitors to the Indoor NCAA Track and Field Championships March 7-8 at the RCA Dome in Indianapolis. Bruening and senior Krista Ferrara competed in the 800-meter run, but did not advance to the final round. Belfort tied for 7th place in the high jump and Davis placed fifth in the shot put. Both Belfort and Davis received All-American honors. "We started out with not as much talent as you need to compete at this level," men's Coach Sam Bell said. "We knew we had an uphill road to climb." The outdoor season began March 27 when the Hoosiers took part in the non-scoring Baldy Castillo Invitational. IU spent most of the outdoor season on the road due to the remodeling of Billy Hayes Track. At the Sea Ray Invitational April 10-12 in Knoxville, Tenn., Belfort set a new school record and matched the NCAA provisional qualifying mark of 1.78 meters to finish as the top collegiate competitor in the high jump. At that time, Belfort already owned four of the top five jumps in school history . Finally, the Hoosiers returned home May 3 to host the National Invitational. Rain fell on the Hoosiers and other teams as they arrived at the newly remodeled Robert C. Haugh Track and Field Complex. Two weeks later IU hosted the Billy Hayes Invitational. With sunny skies and warm weather, everyone had a chance to perform in the new stadium. Nine club and 23 collegiate teams traveled to Bloomington for the event. For the men, Flemming placed second in the shot put with a 17.78 meter throw — a personal record. Senior Donald Tidwell ran a career-best time, placing first in the 400-meter hurdles.

Bruening won her first Outdoor Big Ten title and an automatic qualification to the NCAA Championships with a career best time of 2:04.14 in the 800-meter run. Her time was the third fastest in school history. Ferrara placed second with a career best time of 2:06.32 improving on her provisional qualifying time. Saturday afternoon's windy conditions did not affect Bezjak in her first Big Ten appearance. She threw 49.40 meters on her first throw giving her a new career best and the Big Ten title — beating her competition by .68 meters. Belfort tied for second in the high jump with a career high mark of 1.82 meters. Overall, the women finished fifth. Flemming earned IU's third Rig Ten Championship with a throw of 18.12 meters and junior Tom Chomy finished fourth in the steeplechase competition. "I did not run a smart race," Chomy said. "I should have finished in the top two, but instead I finished fourth." Winding down to the end of the season, the pressure increased as time drew closer for the NCAA Championships. Only the nation's top 15 to 20 ranked athletes went to the NCAAs. "At both indoor and outdoor (Big Ten) championships our runners finished above where they should have been," Bell said. "Our kids rose to the challenge quite well." In the 800-meter run, Ferrara ended her collegiate career finishing eight in her heat with a time of 2:09.17. All-American Bruening finished 10th with a time of 2:04.79. She missed the qualifying for the final round by 0.01 seconds. Bezjak threw 49.22 meters and placed eighth — improving her 17th seed. Belfort finished eighth with a jump of 1.81 meters, her second highest jump ever. "I thought my jump was OK," Belfort said. "I wanted to do better, but I guess it didn't happen out here today." "They all came in and competed as strongly as they did to qualify," Coach Wilson said. Tidwell competed in 110-high hurdles, but did not make the final round. Chomy held second place in heat two for most of the 3,000 meter steeplechase race, but with only three laps remaining he dropped to sixth and ended in11th place. "It was a bittersweet personal record for me, Chomy said. "It was a three second PR but I missed going to the World Championship trials by 1.67 seconds." Bruening represented IU at the USA Track and Field Championships in Indianapolis June 4. She advanced to the semifinal round of the 800-meter run with a time of 2:05.52 placing sixth in her heat, 10th overall and third among collegiate runners. She needed to place in the top four to advance to the finals. Along with broken records, Coach Bell said athletes made dramatic improvements. Flemming improved his shot put distance and took the No. I position for the Hoosiers. Chorny also improved his steeplechase time by 35 seconds. "The biggest disappointment was only having two men participate in the NCAAs," Chorny said. "Hosting the meet, we should have had more. Especially since IU has such a strong track tradition." Ll

by Kathryn Knapp eople flocked into the newly constructed Robert C. Haugh P Track and Field Complex June 4 for the first day of the NCAA Division 1 Outdoor Track Championship. While people admired the new stadium, most had no idea that the finishing touches were completed just the previous week. IU won the bid for hosting the NCAA Championships in June of 1994, and immediately the planning began. "Overall. there were 18 committees, 300 volunteers, 30 trainers and doctors, 225 officials and the list goes on," meet director Chuck Crabb said.

Thirty one years ago the newly-opened Billy Hayes Track hosted the championships. However, hosting the 1997 championships called for a facelift. For two years groups discussed many different possibilities. One problem that lingered was the use of temporary facilities. But finally with nine months to spare, IU received a generous donation which allowed them to build a permanent stadium. "It definitely made the final nine months a very interesting rush," Crabb said. Robert C. Haugh, a 1948 IU Graduate, donated $1.5 million dollars to the Indiana University Foundation for the renovations. The contribution allowed IU to build a permanent concrete stadium which seats 3,100 with a 20 seat airconditioned press box, an entranceway and a separate hammer throw. With the extra money, IU purchased a Daktronics scoreboard/message center featuring three four-color cameras with the Finish Lynx timing system, all new field events continued equipment and hurdles.

Construction began and soon the stadium was built, butit was not complete. Waiting for the scoreboard to be put up slowed down the building process. Finally, in early May the workers installed the scoreboard and they worked on finishing the rest of the stadium. During the last week of April Bloomington accumulated 4 inches of rain in five days. "People worked through rain and mud," men's track Coach Sam Bell said "I give them credit for putting tents up over where concrete needed to be poured and other things. They did a great job." The stadium opened for its first meet, the National Invitational, on May 3. The entranceway welcomed fans,

coaches and athletes to an improved stadium. Minor additions needed to be added, but the stadium was almost complete. "There is a lot of pride," women's track Coach Roseann Wilson said. "The whole university should be proud. It's a unique facility." After hosting the National Invitational, the new stadium played host to the Billy Hayes Invitational May 17. And after that meet, final preparations took place for the NCAA Championships. On June 4 the stadium and staff welcomed thousands for the competition. With only four clays until showtime, barely anything stood in the way of a flawless championship. Overcast skies and rain

continued to cover Bloomington, but the championship went on as planned. Only one other thing presented a small obstacle. "The only problem was the two limbs in the way of the hammer throw, but they're gone now," Crabb said. "Going into competition, our facility was the unknown and (it) came out with flying colors." In the four days, 17,000 fans came to view the championships making it the fifth most attended NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championship during the last 21 years. Fans, coaches and athletes were pleased with the facility. "Coaches and athletes were amazed by the facility—beauty of it, fast track and organization," Wilson said. Along with the outdoor renovations, a $1 million donation from 1931 IU graduate Harry Gladstein allowed improvements to be made to the fieldhouse. While Gladstein attended IU, he acted as a track manager and later went on to work for the Washington Post. Both tracks had already been resurfaced, but the fieldhouse received a white paint job, a new scoreboard, new windows and equipment. "It's beautiful," Bell said. "It helps the kids' competition and of course it will help with recruiting." Athletes used the fieldhouse for warming up and practicing (luring the NCAAs. "We had the same positive response about our indoor track," Wilson said. "The fieldhouse is a wonderful facility with a fast track. It helps to reduce injuries." With the NCAA Championships coming to a close, fans and athletes alike said their good-byes and thank your to the IU staff and new stadium. "I've literally had at least 200 coaches coming to me saying it's the best NCAA Championship they've been to," Coach Bell said. "There were about as many athletes that said the same thing. And they both said this is a beautiful setting for holding a championship. So I guess it went well."

Baseball team starts strong, fades in Big Ten play

ivalry between intra-state teams always meant a good game. But when Purdue traveled to Bloomington May 2-4, the baseball team had more at stake than bragging rights. The players wanted a chance to defend their 1996 Big Ten Champion title from the Boilermakers. A suspended game Friday found the teams battling in three games Saturday. Purdue took the delayed game 8-5 and then the double header 5-4 and 13-11. On Sunday, the Boilermakers added one more win to sweep the Hoosiers, ending IU's chance of advancing to the Big Ten Tournament. "We played hard and we played well," coach Bob Morgan said. "Purdue's hot right now and they played very well. Last year, everything seemed to go our way. This year it was like, 'what can go wrong next?'" The Hoosiers jumped to an 11-1 mark early, en route to a 17-4 start, the team's best start since the 1994 season. The stretch consisted of an 11-game winning streak and included a three-game sweep of No. 18 Tulane University. Their record stood at 14-2 as the Hoosiers headed to Florida to compete in the Homestead Challenge March 17. The series opened on a positive note with a 23-5 win against the University of Dayton, but the Hoosiers finished 2-2 overall. They ended the week at Bowling Green State University where they picked up a 22-6 victory and returned home. The Hoosiers squeezed in a 14-13 win against the University of Dayton and prepared for Big Ten Season. Their record stood at 18-4, but conference play would soon turn the record and season around. Illinois traveled to Bloomington to open the Big Ten season. The Hoosiers won the first two games and the Illini took the second two. IU added only six more wins to their conference record and finished 8-16 in the Big Ten. "It's just funny how it works," senior Micah Nori said. "Last year we got every hit when we needed it and this year it's just going the other way. Sometimes you want to sit back and think maybe we are snake-bitten."

Pitching injuries hampered the team's success toward the end of the season. With injuries to a number of key hurlers, IU had few healthy arms remaining to make a dent in the Big Ten standings. With what we had, I thought we played pretty well," senior shortstop Brian Harris said. "We had injuries to our pitching staff and (senior Mike) Crotty at third (base). Early in the season, I was really pleased with the way we were playing. When we got into the Big Ten season, I thought things just went down hill from there." On April 30, the Hoosiers greeted IU-Southeast at Sembower Field. Strong winds helped both teams hit seven home runs and complete 43 runs together. Earning a season high of 30 runs, the Hoosiers took the victory. "The halls were just flying out," Harris said. He went 5-6 with a single, double, home run and three RBI. Harris also stole four bases moving his total to 44, breaking IU's record for single-season steals. With two outs in the second inning, the Hoosiers scored seven runs to take an 8-1 lead. In the top of the sixth inning a three-run homer helped the Grenadiers make a comeback and tied the score at 11. At the bottom of the inning, however, senior center fielder Ryan Dillon hit a grand slam giving the Hoosiers the lead. The Hoosiers defeated the Grenadiers 30-13. "To be honest, my back's been hurting and I've been

striking out a lot lately," Dillon said. "I think the wind helped out a good deal, because I don't know if it (the ball) would have been out (of the park) on a normal day." The season came to a close with Purdue sweeping the team and then winning one against Penn State. "It's unfortunate," Morgan said. "We played hard, we played well. I don't question our kid's effort. It's just one of those things. Baseball is a very humbling game." A pair of Hoosier ball players broke single-season marks. On the mound, senior left-handed pitcher Brian Partenheimer was the staff ace. Partenheimer broke the IU record for victories by a pitcher in a single season, winning 12. Partenheimer also led the Hoosiers in complete games (6), innings pitched (99.2) and strike outs (72). Often helping Partenheimer with some offense, Harris toppled Mickey Morandini's 1987 record for steals in a single season. Harris stole 50 bases for the Hoosiers. Reflecting on the end of his personal IU career, Nori was pleased with the time he spent with the team. "It's a lot of joy because you know what you've accomplished, you know what you've been through, and a lot of things have paid off.- he said. "You wouldn't change it for anything in the world:LI

Battling it Out

By Kathryn Knapp

Softball team fights for big ten tournament seed

ne game stood in the way of the softball team and the Big Ten Tournament. Going into the weekend of May 3, III, Purdue and Minnesota each hoped to clinch the fourth and final spot in the tournament. When Northwestern arrived in Bloomington, the Hoosiers knew exactly what they needed to do. "We knew we had to sweep them to have a chance to compete in the Big Ten Championships," senior Meg Montgomery said. Along with hoping for a sweep against Northwestern, Purdue needed to lose two games. After waiting for more than three hours due to rain, the game finally began. In the top of the first inning the Wildcats scored, but it would be their first and only run of the game. The Hoosiers took charge in the third inning when junior third baseman Monica Armendarez drove in two runs with a double to deep right field. The RBI marked Armendarez's 41st of the year. With a score of 3-1 the Hoosiers claimed their first victory against Northwestern. Freshman pitcher Jessica Creith led the Hoosiers by pitching seven strong innings, allowing only one run on five hits and not walking a batter. Creith earned her 15th win. "The biggest surprise (of the game) was the play of our freshmen," Coach Diane Stephenson said. Sunday's play presented the teams with a double-header. In game one, Northwestern took the lead early scoring in the first and second innings, and led the game until the fourth. 11.T tied the game in the fourth inning and took the lead with a three-run fifth inning. In the bottom of the sixth, the Wildcats scored four runs, took the lead and clinched the victory — ruining IU's tournament chances. "After the second game it was hard on the seniors because we knew it was our last game," Montgomery said. "One game made the difference this year." The ladies managed to pull-off one more win against Northwestern, 4-1, to end their season with an even record 11-11 in the Big Ten and an overall record of 27-21. The Hoosiers opened their season Feb. 21 with a 3-2 win against University of Toledo at the Arizona State Tournament in Tempe, Ariz. They gained two losses and another win at the tournament. The Hoosiers then headed back to the Midwest to compete in the Southern Illinois Tournament. They gained four wins and posted a 6-2 record. "I was pretty pleased with the way we played," Montgomery said. "We would play really well and then go continued through a dry spell."

The ladies usually spent their spring break in Florida, but because spring break fell a week later, they missed most of the tournaments. The weekend before spring break they made it to the Speedline Invitational in Tampa, Fla. The Hoosiers left with a tournament record of 4-2. "We played hard against a lot of tough teams who were in the top 10 and even top five in the country," junior Ashley Gayer said. "I think that's when we realized how good we were." On March 15, the ladies began their spring break tour of the Midwest hosting the Indiana Invitational. IU lost its first two games of the invitational to DePaul University and Iowa. The Hoosiers came back and defeated the University of Kentucky 13-2. They then traveled to Missouri where they posted a 5-1 tournament record at the Missouri Invitational. In addition to strong pitching, the Hoosiers excelled in defense committing only two errors in the tournament. Experimental switching of players during the season helped the Hoosiers with their defense. Senior Kelli Brandt played in both left and center field while junior Monica Armendarez and senior Aimee Lonigro switched between shortstop and third base. "Moving Monica from shortstop to third base was a good move."

Stephenson said. "She ended up being 2nd team All-American.. The Hoosiers headed back to Bloomington and prepared to start the Big Ten season. With an overall record of 16-8, IU welcomed Penn State March 29 for a three-game series. The Hoosiers won the series and added two more wins against Ohio State to their record before falling into an eight game slump. Hoosiers played six of the eight games the on the road. "We definitely knew we had the talent," Gayer said. "In the second half of the season the offense wasn't as strong. Things didn't seem to come together for us when we needed to win." IU made a comeback including sweeping Purdue. The team also remained in the running for the Big Ten tournament until its last game. But, Purdue having only one loss and IU collecting one loss, ended their hope of making it to the tournament. "We had gone on a really rough field trip, but we were able to bounce back," Stephenson said. -In the long run you're disappointed for the seniors. I would have liked to see this year's seniors especially go further" LI Above: Winding up, freshman Jessica Creith pitches against Northwestern at the IU Softball Field May 3-4.

Men's rugby club receives recognition for its success

ifteen men gathered in a huddle on North Fee Lane Field and planned their game strategy. The game began with a man throwing a seamless ball shaped like a football to another member of the team. With similar scoring and formation, the game looked like football but was actually rugby. The men's rugby club finished a successful fall campaign. They won the Indiana Union Tournament after beating every team and earned a spot in the Midwest Regional. In the first two rounds, the team defeated Illinois and Southern Illinois University respectively. They eventually lost in the Midwest Final Four to Indiana University of Pennsylvania. "We were a good team in the fall," freshman Rich Hamilton said. "When we went into the Midwest Final Four a lot of our players were injured. Having no reserves killed us."

"We are just getting our foot in the door," - sophomore Erin Burkhammer When the players returned from winter break, they were bigger and stronger. "In the spring we got more reserves and more experience, and started playing good rugby," Hamilton said. It showed. The rugby club started the spring with wins against Indiana State University and Ball State University before heading on a spring break tour of the south. They stopped at Louisiana State University and posted a victory before heading to Mississippi State University

where they added another loss. After posting victories against Miami University of Ohio, University of Kentucky and Vanderbilt University, the rugby club entered the Ohio Rugby Classic undefeated in the midwest division. They came out of the Ohio Classic still undefeated after wins against University of Cincinnati, 27-5, and Dayton University, 71-0. With a record of 10-0, the received a bid to the Sweet 16 at the University of California at Berkeley where rugby is a varsity sport. "Being able to play at that level was remarkable," vice president sophomore Erin Burkhammer said. "By all means it was a total rush." In the first round of the tournament, IU's luck faded when they drew 14-time national champion and No. 1-ranked UC Berkeley. It was a tough battle but with more experience and tradition, the Calili trnia team defeated IU 65-12. In the second match of the double elimination tournament, the team faced University of Arizona. And even though they lost 25-12, the IU rugby men gained valuable experience. "It was the first time that IU has ever been to the national tournament," Burkhammer said. "We are just getting our foot in the door." Coach Sarasopa Enari, Jr. led the men in his third season and helped them establish many firsts. Enari played for the Western Samoan National Team, Fiji and for a team in Indianapolis before lending his talents to the IU squad. In just three years, Enari turned the IU Mudsharks from a social club to a rugby team. "When I got here their record was 2-8," Enari said. "We turned things around right away and our record for the first season was 7-1." Enari said the team became organized, more disciplined and began to earn respect. "Our success speaks for itself," he said. "This year was phenomenal," Burkhammer said. "You couldn't ask for a better season. We can't even play teams in Indiana because they are not on our level of play. Without Coach Sopa's incredible impact, we wouldn't have made it to the Indiana Union Tournament, the Midwest Regional or Nationals. He was a great all around coach."

n the floor of her apartment lay a backpack filled with textbooks; a track bag containing competition gear; and a baby bag packed with diapers, stuffed animals and Kix cereal. juggling all these facets of her life was not easy, but athlete, student and mother junior Hilary Bruening managed and loved it. The 20-pound bundle she cradled in her arms was the most challenging event she carried away from her years at IU. "Being a mom is the hardest job in the world, but it is the most rewarding. If I have had the worst day or the hardest practice, I can just look at him and it brightens my day — he is perfect," she said with a broad smile. "I just do what I have to do to get by. I know I have the option of sending him to my mom, but I can't imagine my life without him."

Bruening, a St. Louis native, began her running career during her sophomore year in high school with Fred Major who was credited with creating Olym-pic athletes. Her determination and raw talent made her an instant star in track and field. Though her primary races were the 400 and 800 meters, she easily beat competition in an array of races. "I beat all the boys. I loved it!" Bruening jokingly recollected. She was heavily recruited out of high school in 1993 by schools like Georgia Tech, Missouri and University of Kansas, but decided to sign with IU for several reasons. Not only was her high school coach friends with Coach Sam Bell, but she was also impressed by IU academically. Her major, exercise science, maintained a well respected program. And by attending IU, she remained close to home. continued

Since entering college, her competitive nature flourished. "The competition is my favorite part of the sport," Bruening said. Though she still had a case of frazzled nerves before races, her mind always cleared and she focused the second her fluorescent yellow racing spike touched the starting line. This was evident in her surprise win in the indoor 600 meters at the 1995 Big Ten Championships. She surprised everyone by winning as a sophomore with a personal best time of 1:32.46. The future offered numerous possibilities for Bruening. But in the fall of 1995 Hilary confronted

one challenge which temporarily stopped her swift, smooth stride. Her pregnancy and birth of Ethan on June 24, 1996 forced Bruening to take a year off from running and red shirt her track eligibility. Her decision to take on motherhood was one which involved much personal turmoil. Questions of how to tell coaches, family and friends consumed her. The issue of abortion also contributed to her sense of helplessness. "I was in shock. It lasted about a month or two up to the point where I decided to keep my baby," she said. "In my heart I knew this is what I wanted to do."

"Before, running was almost a job for me. But with people saying I was not going to be able to do it, it made me want it even more. I now run for myself and Ethan. I no longer run for coaches or my mom or anyone else." Hilary Bruening

She told her coaches who initially showed little faith in her decision to have the baby. "They thought it was unrealistic for me to run, have a baby and go to school," she said. "I knew I may not ever be able to defend my Big Ten title ever again." But Hilary's persistence and confidence proved those who doubted her wrong. "A lot of people said I was going to quit school and not run anymore," she said. "I felt I had a lot to prove, not only to them, but also to myself." Only eight weeks after Ethan's birth she was training again and preparing for a full comeback. continued

Bruening triumphed. In February 1997, she reclaimed her title in the 600 meters at the indoor championships with a school record of 1:30.05. One week later, she qualified for the NCAA Championships in the 800 meters with a personal best of 2:07.8, an improvement of almost four seconds. With her return to the track team, Hilary had assumed yet another role. Not only was she a mother but she became a primary leader for the track team. She was voted captain by her teammates in early 1997. "It was an honor to be voted team captain even after the pregnancy," Bruening said. "It really completed my comeback." Her plans for the immediate future included an appearance in the 1997 NCAA Outdoor Track Championships, which she qualified for early in

the season. She planned to make up her redshirted year and compete during the 1997-98 seasons in both Indoor and Outdoor Track. After graduating with a double major in exercise science and psychology, the future remained wide open. Having Ethan created a whole new outlook on running for Bruening. "Watching everyone else able to compete during my red-shirted season was really hard for me," she said. "It made me realize I have lots of talent that I need to use more. Before, running was almost a job for me. But with people saying I was not going to he able to do it, it made me want it even more. I now run for myself and Ethan. I no longer run for the coaches or my morn or anyone else."

During a speech in the Solarium of the Indiana Memorial Union, poet, activist and former cast member of MTV's "Real World" Kevin Powell addresses close to 250 students and faculty. Powell spoke about racism and his work for Vibe Magazine, stressing students should get involved with campus issues. Students didn't need much encouragement because not only did they involve themselves politically, but had fun participating in campus events. Nearly 30 people auditioned for David Letterman's "Stupid Hoosier Tricks" for his all-Indiana show; dozens volunteered at community shelters and the entire campus watched as the very first McDonald's restaurant opened in a college residence hall.

students raise money

moved by the spirit for Special Olympics tudents crowded the School of I IeaIth, Physical Education and Recreation and the Student Recreational Sports Center to engage in 12 hours of competitive sporting events that defined the annual Spirit of Sport. Campus organizations were given a chance to let their competitive nature show while raising money for the Indiana Special Olympics, so others would have that same chance to compete. The main source of funds raised by students included Registration fees and contributions from "miss-a-meal," in which students voluntarily skipped dinners and donated the money to philanthropic events. In total, the event raised $10,250. Although the purpose of the competition supported the Special Olympics, the students also had another goal in mind. Each organization strove to be the victor of the 19th annual Spirit of Sport. Participants earned points from each sporting event, with the winner accumulating the most. At the end of the day, Phi Gamma Delta won the overall men's contest while Alpha Phi prevailed in the women's competition. Pi Kappa Alpha won the Power Point Competition for accumulating the most points outside of the games. The men showed the most enthusiasm, excelledin participation, donated the greatest amount of money from "miss-a-meal" and

attracted the largest crowd to cheer their third place team on. "I am proud of our houses' participation and pulling together as unit. We always take pride in participating in Spirit of Sport," sophomore Michael Minihan said. An SOS committee created unique events for students to participate in, complimenting the traditional sporting events comprising the annual tournament. A diverse group of activities resulted, giving participants and spectators a day of fun and excitement. Little opportunity for team competition around campus existed for students besides intramurals. "SOS is an opportunity for people to get involved in a campus-wide competition both for fun and for a good cause," said Vice President of Spirit of Sport, sophomore Chris Pelc. Originally, people came out for the spirit and fun of competition, but in the end they fought for the winning positions. Campus-wide competition arose during the inner-tube water polo competition. "We got involved for fun, but when the game started, we wanted to win," said senior Scott Higgins who played on the first-place water polo team from Sigma Nu. Other unusual events took place in the pool including "Swim and Scrabble." Students dove into the pool to retrieve letters attached to pennies to create words for the board game projected on an overhead. Additionally, traditional sporting events challenged students' athletic abilities. Throughout the day participants competed in basketball, soccer, volleyball, softball, flag football, badminton and the official sport of the Midwest — Euchre. The gathering of such a large group of students provided an excellent opportunity for the Club Sports Federation to present a forum for its many clubs. Judo and gymnastics joined the list of clubs which took this opportunity to advertise their organizations. Club members performed for the spectators who came to visit friends participating in SOS. continued

The money raised provided mentally retarded children and adults the opportunity to participate in a year of sports training and athletic competition. "SOS is a good way to bring people out to enjoy sports activities that wouldn't normally participate in on campus," said SOS staff member junior Natalie Bacha.

The successful squad competed in the Midwest College Hockey League, and posted a 18-1 record. As one of the 40 student clubs on campus, the IU Hockey Club did not receive financial aid from the University. The club remained responsible for all their own managerial and financial affairs.

"We are the oldest club on campus. We are also the fifth biggest sport on campus behind the men's and women's basketball teams, the football team and the (men's) soccer team."

senior Alex Kyrias, assistant coach The team received $4,500 from the Recreational Sports Department. That modest sum of money barely covered one-fourth of their $20,000 annual budget. With this lack of University funding, the players found alternative ways to support their sport. Members of the Hockey Club paid $200 in dues each semester. And in

addition to the dues, they raised money through fund raisers, sponsors, merchandise sales and monetary contributions. One of the largest contributors was the Red Line Club, the club's strongest supporters. The money paid for ice space, rink time for games and practices, transportation, lodging, referees, and officials. Funds also went to purchase equipment and uniforms. After adding up all the expenses, senior Brad Kranson, IU Hockey Club president, said he felt club sports, like ice hockey, would be better off if the University financed their sport. Senior Alex Kyrias also felt the Hoosier Hockey Club did not receive recognition it deserved. "We are the oldest club on campus. We are also the fifth biggest sport on campus behind the men's and women's basketball teams, the football team and the (men's) soccer team," Kyrias said. As assistant coach and general manager of the team, some of Kyrias' duties included recruiting, making the team program, performing as the public address announcer at all home games and heading the Red Line Club. He handled all of these jobs alone, whereas a varsity sport employed someone for each job. "'Club' is just a word. We are not different from any (other team)," Kyrias said. Two years ago, the Hoosiers went to their second consecutive American Collegiate Hockey Association National Championship in Tampa Bay, Florida. Sophomore center Bryan Cohen said with the team's success, he could not believe they only remained a club sport and were not a varsity sport. But he appreciated all the support the team received. "We have the best hockey crowd that I have ever seen compared to any other campus that we played at," Cohen said. "If we had a rink on campus that the University would provide for us, the games would be just as loud and the stands would be just as packed as they are here at the Frank Southern Center.-

making a difference to the community ll the children at the Bloomington Boys and Girls club appreciated the little bit of time and attention she offered, but one child in particular stole her heart. "When I first started volunteering, I needed someone to show me around," junior Yasmeen Zaman said. "Justin helped me and made me want to come back. He taught me the rules and he didn't even try to bend them. He was so cute and appreciative." Whether for credit, class or their own personal satisfaction and fulfillment, volunteerism brought forth a different meaning for everyone. IU students volunteered at Bloomingkids, Micidleway House, the Community Kitchen and the Boys and Girls Club. Kitty McIntosh, administrative services coordinator for Middleway House, an emergency shelter/support group, said 220 students volunteered there each semester. Only 10 of them received credit for volunteering their time and efforts. The rest of the students dedicated their time because they wanted to give back to the community and help others. "Even though many students do this for a good resume filler, it's more than that," McIntosh said. "Many students volunteer throughout their whole entire college career and beyond that because of the valuable life experience they receive from community service." Finding students to volunteer wasn't a challenge. Throughout the year the staff visited 50 classes, by request of the professors. Their visits sparked an interest in students which made them want to get involved. Other volunteers found out through word of mouth. Sophomore Amber Campbell volunteered at Middleway House for one year. After she discovered Middleway House through a job fair, she began working as a rape victim advocate and crisis volunteer.

Campbell's work at Middleway House convinced her she wanted social service to be a part of her life extending past college. Students volunteered from three to 20 hours a week. Senior Kristin Fogg volunteered 20 hours a week at Bloomingkids. Fogg along with Heidi Schmidt started the organization two and a half years ago. Students mentored primary school aged children. They saw a need to help kids at an early age, before problems such as drug abuse, even a chance to develop. She said the goal is to give children a vision. "Volunteering for Bloomingkids has taught me a lot about myself and my own abilities," Fogg said. "I learned what it is to be giving." Twenty students from IU worked as mentors and seven as tutors. After going through a weekend training seminar where they learned to work with underprivileged children, mentors gave at least three hours of their time a week. The staff members held varied hours and attended weekly meetings. They also planned and participated in various outings, and raised funds. Fogg said they recruited volunteers through e-mail and flyers and so far did not have problems finding student volunteers. Fogg, like the other volunteers, participated this for sheer enjoyment. "It has taken over my life and has opened my career options," Fogg said. "I know that no matter what I do, I will always involve philanthropy in my life and give back to the community." Freshman Annie Head also saw a need to help out the community. Although she did not begin a new organization, she hoped to start an annual fundraiser which benefited the community kitchen in Bloomington. Head worked with Students Organized Against Poverty, the Volunteer Students Bureau, Alpha Phi Omega and Sigma Lambda Gamma to organize "Make a Sandwich Make a Statement." This project invited the entire student body to come out April 17 and make a peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for dinner at the kitchen. "It is a simple way to get a lot of people involved making a difference," said junior Mindy Zifferne as she loaded a sandwich with Jelly. `That is how I like mine." Head hoped to make 500 sandwiches to serve that evening for dinner. The Community Kitchen provided meals and assistance to community members free of charge. "The problem is students are afraid to approach," she said. "They don't want to give money or vote for anybody. They are surprised when they realize all they have to do is make a sandwich and walk away." Whether by volunteering their time at community organizations or organizing new campus fund raisers students were willing to take a stand and make a change. They dedicated personal time to help serve others in the community in which they lived.

"Exit the Dragon" Asian-American heritage arate kicks, num-chucks and kung fu fighting flashed across the screen and the audience immediately assumed they would see an Asian-American actor follow. Bruce Lee, the late kung fu icon, popu-larized martial arts in Hollywood. Asian-American actors hoped to dispel this stereotype with their play "Exit the Dragon." On Jan. 25, a group of prime time AsianAmerican actors came to kick out the kung fu and end brainy-Charlie Chan stereotypes extended to Asian-American men. Union Board and the Asian American Association presented "Exit the Dragon," performed by a California-based three-man troupe. The show kicked off IU's Fourth Annual Asian-American Heritage Month. The title of the show originated as a spinoff of Lee's most popular film, Enter the Dragon, but the creators of the comedy-drama tried not to perpetuate the legacy of Asian-American stereotypes common in kung fu movies. The students wanted to take the stereotypes, turn them around and bring a positive light to the Asian-American heritage, said Eric Michael Zee, the show's writer, director and cast member. "You should create your own positive images to inform people what exactly it is that you are rather than letting them box in your identity," said Zee, who also starred in CBS's "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman." "You shouldn't blame other people for negative stereotypes." In "Exit the Dragon," three performers portrayed Asian-American men preparing to audition for a Hollywood movie. During the audition process each, character found himself prejudged to fit the Asian male stoic molds. The characters revealed an array of emotions, which gave a glimpse of the

complexity of Asian-Americans who attempted to forge their ethnic roots and their upbringing in the United States. "It's about walking the fine line between Asia and America," Zee said. The other actors who performed in "Exit the Dragon" travelled nationwide touring college campuses. Zee said the show sympathized with the experiences faced by some Asian-Americans, but was not the only aim. Zee also saw the show as an opportunity to educate the

predominately white audiences. "We want to show people that Asian-American men are normal, that they do like women and aren't all kung fu experts," Zee said. "This show is for a universal audience." Produced by Zee's wife, Ming-Na Wen (from NBC's "Single Guy" and The Joy Luck Club), "Exit the Dragon" unflinchingly asked that are not typically considered. The play, for example, asked why did Oliver Stone mainly cast Asian Americans in his movies? A performance of "Exit the Dragon" in St. Louis captivated members of the Asian American Association who decided to bring to IU. "Our heritage month's theme this year is 'Refusing to be defined," said junior Shawn Chen, an executive member of the AAA. "The show's purpose recPulates

new club draws

sky's the limit thrill seekers On the way to my first jump 1 was really nervous. I thought to myself 'I can't believe I am really going to do this,- sophomore Ben Yonker said. Once in the plane his anxiety turned to excitement "I couldn't wait to jump." Yonker's interest in skydiving continued to increase after his first jump in August of 1995. This interest led him to form a campus-wide club for others who already jumped and for those wanting to learn. In early March 1997, he covered the campus with posters inviting the entire student body to attend the first meeting of the "University Sport Parachutists." Sixty-seven people attended the first meeting and 26 others expressed an interest over e-mail. Of those interested,

only five jumped previously. 44

It was awesome to watch their expressions. It is great to see how people experience their first jump.

sophomore Ben Yonker, skydiving club founder "There are so many other schools that have clubs like this," Yonker said. "I saw a need for one here." In order to start the club, Yonker needed the help of an advisor. Graduate student Dave Pinzino organized a similar club at the University of Illinois and coordinated skydiving trips for the IMU Outfitters, making him the perfect candidate. Pinzino not only shared Yonker's love for jumping, but had 316 jumps to his credit. He spent a total of five hours free falling. Pinzino's personal experience and work with the Outfitters were instrumental in getting the club off the ground. "I was asked to help out [by Yonkerl because of the expertise I had of knowing the details of where to go and what to do," Pinzino said. The club made weekly trips to Archway, a jumping site in Vandalia, Ill. The club offered car-pools to help students make the two-and-a-half-hour trip. Approximately 35 students took advantage of the opportunity and made their first jump during the spring of '97. "It was awesome to watch their expressions," Yonker said. "It is great to see how people experience continued their first jump."

mitchell Skydiving 363

The only downfall to this new club was it did not receive funding from the University. Students had to pay the $110 fee for their first static jump. Students chose the static jump because it was cheaper, Yonker said. The static jump meant students jumped solo. Students were also given the option of doing a tandem jump, in which they were accompanied by an instructor. This jump cost $135, but only required a one hour lesson. Before a static jump, students attended a six-hour training course. The course taught them the necessary safety precautions from putting on their parachute to plane procedures and finally the jump. "You get great pictures and great personal stories when you skydive," sophomore David Lewis said. "It's like nothing else I've ever done." Lewis hoped to get his first skydiving license, an A license, by the end of the summer. "In order to get an A license you need 20 free falls," he said. "For a B license you need 50, 100 for a C and 200 for a D license." More jumps not only meant new licenses, but also cheaper costs. The cost decreased with every jump to a low of $30, said Yonker. Yonker said he hoped to take weekly trips to Archway during the 1997-98 school year. He also planned to have a demonstration jump on Woodlawn Field and another jump before the Women's little 500 bike race. "With the demo jump and the (Women's) race jump," Pinzino said. "The club's popularity is probably going to explode."

IU bowling team

knocking out competition wins respect

ne of the most important tournaments, National Team Match Games Tournament in St. Louis, Mo., came down to one roll. With a No. 1 position on the line, bowling team captain senior Lee Johnson stood in a difficult position. "I've got the guys depending on me and I'm the only one that's going to take the responsibility," he said. "I was last and that's why I was down there — to make those shots." Johnson needed to bowl a spare to put his team on top. "A 220 average bowler better he able to make a spare, especially if it means the tournament," he said. "I was still nervous." Johnson succeeded and the Hoosiers emerged on top. For the first time in his 30 year coaching career, Bob Burks won the St. Louis tournament. Because he retired from the position at the end of the season, the tournament win was more memorable for the coach and the team. "It was the biggest thrill of the season winning St. Louis," Burks said. The win in St. Louis against 64 competitors Nov. 29-30 proved to be the rule rather than the exception as the Bowling Writers Association of America voted the team No. 1 three times. Even though they held the No. 1 position in the nation, the team members didn't receive the same coverage as other sports with similar success. "It was satisfying to win for the University and to be a part of the No. 1 team at this level, but it would have been nice to get more credit," Johnson said. Even without the recognition from their fellow students or the University, the 22 members of the men's club continued

to practice diligently. They gathered together every Sunday evening in their home alley in the Indiana Memorial Union. Additionally, members of the team participated in various leagues and bowled individually several times during the week. "The Union is our biggest fundraiser," Johnson said. "They sponsor us, and if it weren't for the Union, we would have gone under a long time ago." Every Friday evening, the team sponsored roulette in the IMU. Participants paid $5 to play three games in the dark with glowing pins, and won prizes for knocking over different colored pins. The money raised provided funds for the team's transportation, lodging and entrance fees for tournaments. Similar to the golf circuit, the bowling season consisted of numerous small and large tournaments. The six best players traveled with the team to the tournaments — sometimes for a week at a time. Often thought of as an individual sport, the bowling club was team oriented. "We win and lose as a team," Johnson said. The Hoosiers finished first in seven of the smaller competitions and won two of the four majors. "That never happens in college bowling," Johnson said. "It was unheard of." After a successful season, the team went to Nationals April 9-13 in Kansas City, Mo. Unfortunately, they did not live up to the high expectations they had set for themselves. "The team was disappointed and I was disappointed for them," Burks said. The Hoosiers ended the season ranked eighth in the nation. "Everybody geared up to bowl us. They knew if they beat us, they beat the best," Johnson said. For three consecutive years, the team failed at the national level. Each year, IU entered the tournament ranked No. 1 and ended the season with lackluster performances. "It was really disappointing. We had a great season," freshman Nick Hoagland said. "We bowled had at one tournament, and everyone remembers us as the team that choked at Nationals. It's okay for me since it is my first year, but it is really disappointing for guys like Lee who have been trying for four years.-

opening the vault forest is bombarded by testosterone oxes, bags and suitcases piled in the hallways of B Forest Quadrangle as residents returned to the Bloomington campus in droves. As they waited for the elevator, clutching their keys and keeping close to their parents, the students looked like residents of any other dorm on campus filled with hopes and fears. But something was different in this group of "Forestites;" they were not quite the same. This group of new Forest residents included people like freshman Ben Danner, one of the first men to move into the towering dorm. The fall of 1996 saw the first gaggle of guys flock to Forest, breaking its 30-year tradition of being all female. "I had a lot of people whine when I told them (where I was living), they just kind of laughed and would say, `it's an all-girls dorm,' " Danner said. A little less than half of the 1,100 spaces in Forest

were assigned to men after a massive restructuring program in the Halls of Residence was implemented. Several cafeterias and Willkie Quadrangle closed for renovation and remodeling. Male residents living in Willkie and those incoming freshman needed somewhere to go. The gentleman piled into Forest's B tower. Only one floor in the eastern wing housed women,but these women didn't see a lot of trouble going co-ed. The western A tower remained all female. "Girls are just as wild as guys," said freshman Kara O'Sullivan, a transfer student who resided on the only women's floor in the B tower. Forest officials said having guys mixed into the recipe of the dorm provided alternative views on issues. Maggie Balch, the residence life coordinator for the newly co-ed quad, said Forest residents benefited when guys moved in with their opinions in hand. She said the quad's staff explored the numerous gaping differences between the sexes. "We'll try and create a positive community for them," she said. "(We'll) talk more about the gender differences and what it means to Forest." Going co-ed meant some people had to face a brave, new world. In the past, Forest residents lived in secure isolation from males. With the new co-ed policy, it was harder to find shelter from testosterone. "I think it's a positive change. It's important to learn to deal with people," Forest resident Lori Lyninger said. "In society, you're not just going to deal everyday with women. You're sometimes going to have to learn to deal with men." A fifth-year senior, Lyninger was somewhat of a Forest expert because she lived in the dorm her entire college career. The first four years, it was all women, but in her last semester the dorm turned co-ed. She was Forest's IU Student Association Senator from 1993 to 1995. Lyninger also served as the quad's president from 1995-96. She said having men room in the historically female halls changed the aura of the dorm. "I think it is not the old Forest. But I'm not going to put a judgement on whether that's good or had," she said. "But it does have a new identity because the identity of a dorm is comprised of the people who live there. Yes, it's taken a new identity, but it's not necessarily a good one or a had one." "But there were some advantages to having a singlesex hall, less sexual tension and a more comfortable atmosphere for the residents. "People feel safer when they're with their own sex," she said. "Sometimes they don't feel free to talk about things (around members of

the opposite sex)." Lyninger said there was a need for some women to have a male-free abode, and that's where the womenonly tower came in handy. "I think it's important for people who don't feel safe having men in their living environment to have their own tower," she said. While the 1996-97 school year marked a new beginning for exploration of gender differences, it also meant the end of an era. Forest was once known throughout the campus as "The Virgin Vault" for its closed visitation floor. No men were ever allowed on this floor, not even family members. After the change, the quad offered two floors with limited visitation, where male guests were not allowed after midnight. The move to add guys to the female fortress made most of the Forest residents happy and excited. "I like the idea of co-ed dorms," said freshman Sia Nyorkor. "They

are a chance to meet other people and interact with the other sex." And while the women got a chance to mix and mingle with the males, guys also benefited from the policy change. Moving into what used to be the women's hall meant the guys were living in a facility that was in near-mint condition, even though it was built in 1966. "It's a lot nicer because girls' dorms are neater," freshman Kenny Hyde said. "They're very neat."

university updates meal plan students get more for their money

PEOPLE 372

tudents living in residence halls demanded tastier tood, S more choices, longer hours and convenience. After months of negotiations and construction, the students' demands were finally met. The Halls of Residence meal plan underwent the changes that gave students more dining options. During the 1996 fall semester, meal plan changes promised students 100 percent satisfaction, but their satisfaction was not guaranteed. "Students were disappointed with the Halls of Residence because many of the [changes] they promised would go into effect in the fall were not implemented until the middle of second semester," said Residence Halls Association President senior Ward Myers Fundamental changes occurred at the onset of the 1996-97 school year, allowing students various meal plan options. Seven, 14 or 19 meals per week could be purchased, whereas it was previously a strict 20 meals per week. Each time a student dined at a traditional cafeteria in Collins Living Learning Center, Forest, McNutt, Read or Teter Quadrangles, one meal was deducted from their meal card. A new point system accompanied each meal plan. One point equaled one dollar, with the "money" good for snacks or meals in the new food courts, specialty shops and retail restaurants. An attempted transformation of the cafeterias into modern cafes and mall-like food courts took longer than the University planned. This resulted in unfinished eateries when students returned to campus in August. Immediately, students complained of long lines and large expenses in the food courts and specialty shops. "It was really expensive [point-wise] to eat in the food courts and specialty shops," said Briscoe resident sophomore Ashley Shelby.

Vice President and IU-Bloomington Chancellor Kenneth R.R. Gros Louis established the Blue Ribbon Food Services Committee to make improvements on the plan in mid-October — only two months after the changes went into effect. Students, faculty and staff were given equal representation on the committee. The Blue Ribbon Committee responded to the students' grievances by developing meal equivalences. These "meal deals" allowed students to use their prepurchased meals in the food courts or specialty shops for drinks, entrees and side dishes. In response to students' complaints about the quality of the food, the committee established food advisory boards in each center to work with the dining managers. Students' disappointment not only stemmed from the long lines and expensive food, but also from the construction delays. "The Halls were working in good faith, the construction just took longer than was expected," Myers said. The Halls attempted to compensate for the delay by opening temporary kiosks at the sites chosen for the food courts in Foster and Wright Quads. These kiosks offered students a variety of cuisine including a pasta and salad bar and an American grill. Nonetheless, the foods provided were not the name brands promised to the students.

Nathan's Famous Hot Dogs and Mother Bear's Pizza made appearances early first semester in the courts. "Ideally when the food courts are completed theywill be supplied entirely by outside vendors," Myers said. These attempts were not enough to appease the frustrated residents. The people living with the problems were the ones given the responsibility of fixing them," Myers said. All the original decisions and later modifications were student driven. Student questionnaires were a guideline as to what types of food and what particular vendors were invited into the Halls said Robert Woodling, Manager of Business and Financial Services for the Halls of Residence. In restructuring the food system, the University attempted to meet the needs of a majority of the student body. For students interested in healthy eating, the Halls opened the 17th Street Cafe in Briscoe Quad. "This specialty shop, a healthy deli, compliments the uniqueness of Briscoe, a health and wellness center," Woodling said." A second specialty shop, the International Marketplace and Bakery opened at Eigenmann Hall. In addition to being able to purchase international cuisine from a variety of countries in the marketplace, students also enjoyed the new coffee and pastry bar. Another important change made to the meal plan system was the opening of Bears Underground, an

PEOPLE 374

independent retail shop located at Foster Quad. Bears Underground — a spin-off of Bloomington's Bear's Place restaurant — created the ambiance of the local eatery. The establishment offered students the same opportunities to eat and relax with friends but rather than offering the ambiance of a local cafe, this eatery offered a international appeal. After months of negotiations and numerous delays, McDonald's opened at Read Center April 1. Students elected the fast food restaurant as their favorite in a survey early in the year. It was not only students who lived in the Halls who benefitted from these changes, but the entire student body as well. Previously, meal plans were included as a part of a student's room and board and could not be purchased alone. The University decided to offer the new meal plans to students who lived on and off campus. "The Halls of Residence are a viable place to eat for the entire campus," Woodling said. "It is a good deal for Wood food.' Above: Students walk through the doors of the new McDonald's at Read Center. McDonald's opened April I.

students helping students academic support center opens at Briscoe I n the brightly lit room, a group of students huddled

around a table helping each other learn. The Briscoe Health and Wellness Center not only offered students a place to exercise their bodies, but also a place to exercise their minds. In 1996, Briscoe Quad began a Student Academic Support Center. This center, which was converted from a cafeteria, offered students a convenient place to study, receive free academic tutoring and attend a variety of workshops. Although the center opened to benefit the entire student body, it serviced the greatest number of students living in the north quad of campus — in Briscoe, McNutt and Foster Quads. "The center was established in Briscoe because statistically it has been shown that the people living in the north quad are first-year students," said site manager Leslie Robinson. The center helped these students deal with everything from the adjustment from high school to college to cramming for final exams and offered a quiet place to study close to home. Study tables for athletes were held in a private room located in the center. "I was required to study there for two and a half hours a week during first semester," said freshman Tom Davidson, a member of the diving team. Davidson returned after the season ended to continue to take advantage of the academic tutoring

offered. "If you have a question, there is always someone there to help you," he said. Both graduate and undergraduate students worked at the center between 7 and 12 p.m. Sunday through Thursday tutoring students in a variety of academic subjects. "We were available for support during the times when people tended to do most of their studying," Robinson said. Freshman Carlina Salemi visited the center on a regular basis to seek help from the writing tutors. Convenience attracted her to the center at first, but she returned because she admired the availability and quality of tutors that worked there. "The tutors were honest and knew what they were talking about," she said. "You could come at anytime and there would be someone there to help you." The center benefitted both students and tutors. Benjamin Abney, an undergraduate intern for the math department, said it was a good opportunity for him to teach. Abney strove to maintain a relaxed atmosphere at the center while helping students learn. Students came and got help from different tutors, which provided them with different points of view and methods of studying and learning. Students benefitted from the group environment at the center and also taught one another. "I would rather see students working together with us looking over

IU sings for 68th year from off-stage signaled the A voice children to go to bed. These children, played by eight students, refused to go to sleep — they wanted to stay up and play. Dressed as the Pink Power Ranger, the first performer stepped forward and led the group of 30 performers in an original rendition of "Kung Foo Fighting." As she finished retelling her dream, another performer stepped up to the microphone. She dreamt she became Pocohantas. The group sprung into a dance to the children's song "10 Little Indians." The act proceeded as the eight children shared their dreams and entertained the audience. "That Dream You Had," the Forest Quad skit, ended the seven-year winning streak of the greek houses. Not since 1964 had a residence hall triumphed in IU Sing — and Forest won five awards. "People kept on saying to us, the night's not over," said freshman Emily Robbins, Forest's song leader. Backstage, tension grew by the second as the song leaders waited to see if their act placed in the top five. The emcees called the Forest song leaders onto stage again and again to receive yet another trophy. Forest won the overall competition, the first place

trophy in division A and received the award for best vocals. Forest also became the first recipient of the IU Auditorium award, an honor bestowed upon the residence hall for the most entertaining act of the IU Sing competition. They shared their fifth award, the George E. Schlafer Award, with Sigma Delta Tau and Zeta Beta Tau. The acts embodying the "Spirit of IU Sing" received this prestigious award. "We were honored to have won the Schlafer Award. It was something that we had hoped for the entire four months we worked on IU Sing," said junior David Swerdloff, Zeta Beta Tau's song leader. After four months of planning, rehearsing and anticipating, Valentine's weekend finally arrived. More than 3,000 students showcased their musical and dance talents. Six judges, who gave scores based on four criteria — musicianship, music, general effects and choreography — evaluated each seven-minute performance. Two divisions divided the 20 acts which performed in the annual event. Division A consisted of groups with less than 75 performers and Division B contained groups with more than 75 members. The top six acts in each division received awards at the end of the two-night competitions. Gamma Phi Beta and Delta Tau Delta followed Forest in Division A with "The Day the Music Died." Alpha Chi Omega and Phi Delta Theta's "The Magical Musical Machine" won a third place trophy. While the residence halls reigned supreme over Division A, the greeks prevailed in Division B. Kappa Alpha Theta and Alpha Tau Omega won first place in the large division. Their act, "Hygiene Heroes," featured Tommy the Tooth, a sparkling white molar who feared an attack from the evil cavities. From off-stage, the cavities emerged lurking around the glistening white teeth who accompanied Tommy. A battle then ensued between Ginger Vitis and Captain Fluoride. The evil cavities circled as the teeth danced to the tune of "Come on Eileen." The Flossing Queen helped Tommy avoided tooth decay.

"My goal was to put on a good show — winning was in the back of my mind," said junior Jing Lien, Kappa Alpha Theta's song leader. "It was such a rewarding experience to see our work payoff in that way." Zeta Tau Alpha and Theta Chi captured second place in Division B for "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus." The first and second place teams shared the Production Staff Award. Neither of these acts lost any points before the night of their performance. Delta Delta Delta and Acacia received third place for their "The Sea or Not the Sea," a take off of Disney's "The Little Mermaid." Song Leaders began working in October, three months before they chose their cast. Dedicated students produced an original theme, and then wrote a script including musical and dance numbers for an entertaining seven minute skit. -The key to our success was staying organized and delegating responsibility," Lien said. Song Leaders attended weekly meetings and regularly turned progress reports which included themes, songs and cast lists. These meetings gave Song Leaders the opportunity to meet with their Song Leader Producers. SLP's acted as consultants, helped write the skits, choreograph the dances and boost morale. In January, organizations recruited participants and rehearsals began. "We practiced at least three times a week," Robbins said. Not only the winners earned recognition for their hard work and dedication. Twenty-five song leaders received a $300 scholarship for their leadership skills and high academic standing. A percentage of the ticket sales also contributed to the scholarship fund.

IU Sing gave numerous students the opportunity to get involved in a campus-wide event. Back-up vocalists and dancers opened up the show with the theme song "Shake Your Groove Thing." Between the acts, the Indiana University Student Foundation sponsored "commercial breaks." The crowd enjoyed these performances as much as the individual acts. They sang along and swayed in their seats as an ensemble of emcees and vocalists sang a medley of television theme songs. Many veteran performers got involved in the off-stage aspects of IU Sing. Behind the scene participators acted as a crucial part of the show's success. Production staff consisted of 11 different committees which coordinated the program. Positions included everything from a secretary to song leader producers. "Being a Song Leader Producer was a lot of fun," junior Melissa Williamson said. "I put my heart into it and it was very rewarding to see the whole thing come together on opening night." IUSF also recognized an individual who made significant contributions to the IU community and the student body. Dr. James Holland, the recipient of the Herman B Wells Award, taught at IU for 30 years. His accomplishments included receiving the University's Distinguished Service Award and being named Man of the Year by the IU Chapter of Omega Phi Psi. IU Sing provided opportunities to display talent, recognize distinguished students and faculty and enjoy seven minutes of stardom. The show not only brought the campus together for some entertainment and a good time, but also raised money for scholarships for Song Leaders and working students.

new set-up ideal

gresham dining hall for student he renovations to the Gresham Dining Hall at Foster Quadrangle not only provided students with more food options, but also better opportunities to steal. The changes made it easier for food shoplifters to escape cafeteria cashiers and residence hall security. Before the renovations, Gresham was a traditional all-you-can-eat dining hall. With the new food court, students paid for their selections with points, cash or their meal plan

"If it's obvious, we ask them politely to pay for the food and submit their IDs to the J-board."

Anthony Mangin, Halls of residence "The new cafeteria is set up perfectly for anyone who wants to steal food," said Amanda Fiegle, a Gresham cashier. Students hid chicken sandwiches inside other products such as salads and grilled cheese sandwiches so they wouldn't be charged for them, Fiegle said. She said workers also caught students hiding candy bars inside their drinks. "If you don't learn integrity in college, where are you going to learn it?" Fiegle said. "I think they'll grow up to be corrupt Republican congressmen." Fiegle caught students stealing several times a day. Usually she asked students to

pay for the food, or she turned in their names to management. Some of these thieves were apprehended and turned in to the residence hall judicial boards, while others ran away without facing the consequences. "If it's obvious we ask politely for them to pay for the food and submit their IDs to the J-Board," said Anthony Mangin, Halls of Residence employee and Head of Read Dining Hall. Each residence hall had a student judicial panel monitored by a University faculty member which heard both sides of the case. They made a decision which could result in either a fine or community service. The Halls considered several methods to counteract this influx of theft, said Joelle Davis, Halls of Residence retail operations manager. These precautions included: Putting a customer relations representative on duty in the Gresham Food Court to monitor theft and assist customers and employees in case of mechanical errors. Installing hidden surveillance cameras to capture theft on video and take pressure off the cashiers. Installing turnstiles by the food court's entrance to keep track of who was inside and to apprehend shoplifters before they escaped. A decision was made based on whether the amount of stealing was enough to pay for the additional safety renovations. One precaution that would definitely be implemented and was expected to cut down on the problem was the opening of a second room inside Gresham. A second cashier would work at the same time across from the current one, and together they would be able to see more shoplifting and other mischievous activities, Davis said el

Sitting in his room at Evermann Apartments, graduate student Paul Schafer plays with his companion for I 0-years, his seeing-eye dog Asia. Schafer was a student in History and Philosophy of Science at IU and hoped to become an Assisted Technology Specialist.

Resting after going through a series of stretching techniques in his Kung Fu class, Schafer extends his arms to touch Asia. Although, the two had been together for some time. Paul planned on retiring Asia and getting another seeing eye dog. Asia would remain as a pet, but had trouble keeping up with Schafer's sometimes heavy class schedule and routines.

fter spending a morning lifting weights and a swimming at the Student Recreational Sports Center, graduate student Paul Schafer made his way home to Evermann Apartments. The only thing distinguishing him from others was the long white cane he tapped on the ground in front of him. Born legally blind with a degenerative retinal disease, Schafer was given up for adoption by his birth mother. He then lived at a Catholic charities home, St. Vincent's, in Baltimore County, MD until he was adopted at about age 4. "I always tell people that one day while eating lunch, I saw this woman come in and I thought she looked 'huggable,' so I ran up to her and jumped up in her lap and gave her a big hug, he said. "I always tell that story as the day I picked out my mom." After his adoption, Schafer attended the Maryland School for the Blind. He fell behind in reading and in second grade, was told that he was mildly retarded. His mother refused to believe that her son was retarded and she "mainstreamed" Schafer to a public school in Maryland.

he read at seventh and eight grade levels. He wore thick glasses and had to read with large print books or a magnifying glass. He could also recognize certain colors, especially red, white and blue, but they faded as his eyesight became progressively worse. By the time Schafer graduated from high school, he could no longer see. Although blind, Schafer was anything but hindered and lived life to the fullest. He remained active and lived by the motto, "I'll try anything at least once." He dispelled the stereotypes of the blind by participating in such activities as horseback riding, skiing and Kung-Fu. Schafer began downhill skiing on a whim. While a sophomore at Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, Va., his fraternity brothers at Sigma Phi Epsilon decided to plan a ski trip. He went along and the sport became a life-long hobby. "There is a lot of ignorance out there, and there is particular ignorance of what people with disabilities can do," he said. "I'm not a unique case, I'm not the only one in the world who can do these things." continued

Schafer and Asia enter the side door of the HPER on the way to Kung Fu class. Legally blind since birth, he gradually lost his sight and by the time he graduated from high school, he could no longer see.

After lifting weights for a half an hour, Schafer swims in the SRSC's olympic-size pool as part of his daily workout routine. He used a cane (on the diving board) to get to the building because Asia did not like the SRSC.

At a friend's house, Schafer plays "Dungeons and Dragons" on a Saturday night. Role playing games and watching Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes were some of his favorite recreational activities.

He applied the determination he had in sports to excel in his studies. At RandolphMacon, he double majored in Philosophy and Psychology and even graduated a semester early. From there, he continued on to graduate school at the University of Kentucky where he majored in Philosophy and Counseling Psychology. After six years at Kentucky, he came to IU in 1995 and studied History and Philosophy of Science and Cognitive Science. When out and about on campus, Schafer was usually accompanied by his seeing-eye dog, Asia. A loyal companion for 10 years, Asia led Schafer to and from classes. For his academic endeavors, Schafer relied on another long-time companion — a computer. He had a computer since he convinced his mother to buy him an Apple He his junior year in high school. With a Gateway 2000 complete with a voice synthesizer and screen reader, he surfed the Internet, worked and read his e-mail in his apartment. "It gives me access to whatever text comes up on the screen. So I can do just about any work that someone who is sighted can do," he said. His career goals focused on working with various facets of his studies. He hoped to become an Assisted Technology Specialist — a computer hardware and software specialist that helped disabled students gain access to information. "I've worked and a computer consultant

before, I've done counseling and I've taught," he said. "And I'd like some job that allows me to combine all three activities." He wanted to help make the University more technologically accessible for other disabled students because of difficulties he experienced while in school. Schafer often had to return home to type in notes or work because of a lack of equipment he could use on campus. "Since college, I've found the institutes lacking in certain 'amenities' for people with disabilities," he said. Margaret Londergan, Chair of the Disabilities Taskforce praised Schafer, also a member of the committee, in his attempts to improve access on campus. "Paul has been instrumental in helping to guide this committee with regard to its specific goals of increasing awareness of opportunities for access to adaptive technology on the campus," she said. "His sensitivity to the multiple issues involved in increasing campus awareness and to defining tangible goals that can be addressed by the various departments that sit on the committee is exceptional." Friend and classmate graduate student Charles Twardy witnessed Schafer's continual drive for excellence. "Paul is vibrant and energetic — one might almost say "kinetic" — and very striking because he does take blindness as a challenge, and meets the challenge so well and so creatively:CI

he door to Steve Birdine's office offered a piece of advice for anyone who wanted to go in: "This zone T is declared safe regardless of race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age and ability. You will be treated and respected as a human being. Ignorance, bigotry and harassment will not be tolerated." In 1994, the University organized the Office of Diversity Programs. Committed to making diversity and understanding among students the top priority, Steve Birdine accepted the job as coordinator. Birdine grew up in Chicago and graduated from the University of Illinois with a master's degree in Broadcast journalism. After four years, he left his position as Director of the Northern Colorado Marcus Garvey Cultural Center and moved his family to Bloomington. "I saw an opportunity to do something special in the area of diversity," he said. "And while we've done some good work, we're nowhere near what we could do with the proper support from the people in the University." Although he held the title of Coordinator of Diversity Programs, he said he never coordinated a diversity program. Rather, he worked to create relationships with other education programs to organize and maximize efforts and the limited resources funds each entity contributed. "I try to let people know early, especially with incoming students, that diversity is okay and it's something you can talk about," he said. "Please feel free to take some risks and only by taking risks can we achieve the true goals that we say we want to achieve. It's not going to happen if we keep playing safe." Speaking at numerous engagements throughout the year, anywhere from 50-100, Birdine approached his education programs with a sense of humor. He stressed that he tried to entertain. but he also wanted to enlighten and educate. "My approach is one: to try to get people to relax and I do that using humor," he said. "Two: I figure once you're relaxed, we have an opportunity to get you to share. And once you're open to sharing, learning can occur. Growth and development can occur." He gave a hand-out entitled, "Diversity Made Simple" to the audience of a high school journalism program. He pointed out the dialogue about diversity was not an intellectual conversation. Where intellectuals are taught to rationalize and justify everything, people just needed to use

profile By Meredith Bledsoe common sense when talking about the diversity among different people. Although he used humor in his lectures, Birdine said he wanted to teach along the way. He stressed the importance of dispelling stereotypes during his programs. During a stereotyping exercise, he pointed out to his audience one of the myths about gays was that they were child molesters, when most were actually heterosexual. "You can't just talk about stereotypes if you don't take at least the opportunity to try to dispel some of them," he said. Working and networking with people from across the country, Birdine emphasized being a student advocate first and foremost. He said he reminded those people across the country and at IU to keep that idea in mind. Too many administrators, he said, forgot and thought of students as necessary evils associated with their jobs. "Those of us who stay focused on students being the number one priority, do the job a whole lot better," he said. "My life is rarely about me. It's usually about us. Or usually about them. I believe and have been educated and conditioned to believe that for those of us who give, get back 10 or 20 fold in the process." Birdine's office reflected positive attitudes toward students and the quest for a deeper understanding of each other. The walls held several framed awards he received over the years for his work, but also two posters: "Life's Little Instructions" and "The World is My Classroom, I've Learned That." In addition to his speaking engagements and other responsibilities, Birdine also headed three e-mail distribution lists: African-American, Latino and a general list which got every message. These lists not only served as information links for students, but saved the office large amounts of money. So while some students complained about the mass amounts of mail they received, it could have been worse. Between the mail Birdine received from three national lists and student contributions, he dealt with an average of 500-750 messages per day. "People (need) to realize that diversity isn't supposed to be this political tool that, as a nation, we've turned it into," he said. "Diversity's not just a black/white issue. It's a brown and white issue, it's left-handed people, short people, thin people, not-so-thin, hetero, homo — whatever the -isms we have out there, diversity includes all of us." As Coordinator of Diversity Programs, Steve Birdine worked closely with other education programs across the campus. Speaking at almost 100 engagements each year, Birdine used humor to help students relax as they talked about uncomfortable topics. He stressed his role in the University as a student advocate first.

Making the best of the situation, freshman Jason Trailob and junior Derek Obelholtzer play with dog Guinness while members of Evans Scholars, wait outside their house as police inspect fire damage. At about 2 a.m., April I I, a fire destroyed the southern half of their house and commons area. Protective fire doors saved the living quarters, but some rooms were damaged by water and smoke.

and covered the floor as girls dressed in bikini tops and sarongs danced with guys in grass skirts and leis. On the other side of campus, college students grooved to hard rock in black leather jackets and spandex. Thirty minutes from Bloomington, at Pic-A-Chic, friends dressed in flannel shirts and overalls joked around with one another as they relaxed on a hay ride. Besides the usual philanthropy events, numerous campus activities and informal parties, the fraternities and sororities at IU planned various dances throughout the school year. The dances allowed members of the houses to dress-up, relax and kick back with their friends in a fun atmosphere. Depending on what the chapters organized, members of the greek houses participated in many theme dances, spontaneouses and formals. Midwestern weather lent itself to hayrides and barn dances during the early fall and first couple months of school. As cool weather set in, students pulled on cowboy hoots and braided their hair. Nestled in the rolling hills of southern Indiana, Pic-A-Chic's Catering grounds made the perfect location for a kill dance. The farm rented out a shelter set on its 70 acres for a wide variety of events. The shelter with removable sides (depending

on weather), housed dancers and bands or DJs. Near by, a natural sinkhole made a perfect base for a bonfire. Students sat with friends or significant others on the sloped sides to enjoy the heat of the fire. Sororities and fraternities paired together to make these evenings a success. Most houses chose to split the responsibilities: one house found a location to hold the dance and the other found a hand or DJ to provide music for the evening. "Our barn dance gave us an opportunity to get dressed-up, hang out with our friends and act like goof-balls together," sophomore jaima Reising said. "We got to dance to the music of a great band and meet new people." Each house hosted different theme dances including: Alpha Sigma Phi's "Cleos", a toga party; Delta Chi's "Deltiki", a luau; Pi Kappa Alpha's "Pike Open" where members of the fraternity set up a miniature golf course in their house; Acacia's "Night on the Nile" where girls were dressed as Cleopatra and guys dressed like mummies and sheiks; and Phi Gamma Delta's "Fiji Island" where members of the fraternity covered the floors of their house with sand and couples sipped tropical punch. Other than the theme dances, the chapters also held spontaneous dances. With 24 hours to find a date and a costume, the rush to the costume and vintage clothing stores was in full steam. Some of the different spontaneous dances paired houses, other dances were held specifically for one house. However, the dance themes were not ordinary. Members participated in everything from bowling to being hand-cuffed to their date for the evening, to roller skating and miniature golf.

Students agreed the social interaction between the houses was important, but at the same time the dances gave them a chance to hang-out with their own friends. "I think that it's good that the different greek houses pair up for the dances because it gives everyone a chance to meet other people, especially at the beginning of the year," sophomore Natalie DeWitt said. "It brought us all together in a common setting for an evening of music and dancing." While students enjoyed raiding the costume stores in Bloomington and shopping in thrift stores, they also enjoyed serious dances as well. Formals provided that opportunity. The sororities and fraternities held at least one serious dance a year, providing couples with the chance to get out their black-ties, formal dresses and heels. "I liked formals better than the spontaneous events because everyone actually has time to plan the evening and what they are going to where. Even though spontaneous events are fun, we spend too much time trying to find a date amidst the chaos of a limited amount of time, instead of thinking about planning an evening to remember," sophomore Jennifer Sherb said. Formals gave students the opportunity to travel out of the Bloomington area or even out of state. Popular sights

for formals included French Lick, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Chicago. Formals provided the members of fraternities and sororities with the opportunity to spend time together in a unique setting that was more sophisticated than the average party. The annual Delta Sigma Theta "Delta Ball" not only offered the members an opportunity to enjoy themselves, but extended an invitation to the entire campus to gather for a good cause. Guests were asked either to make a donation prior to the event or to bring a toy with them that could be donated to Toys for Tots. "Formals are a good opportunity for the guys to be together for one special night that everyone can look hack on as special evening. Everyone has a good time," senior Fred McBroom said.

hen classes resumed in early September, so did the fraternity parties. The campus buzzed with excited students reuniting with friends ready for a fresh academic start. Unfortunately, for the Greeks, the 199697 school year didn't succeed as they had hoped it would. While other students stressed over homework and upcoming exams, Greeks also worried about police and legal ramifications. delta chi party ends in violence Only- two days into the academic year, a party at the Delta Chi house ended in disaster. After numerous visits from the IUPD during the evening, the party ended with a fight involving over 30 men. Junior Jeff Harwood suffered a stab wound to the right arm just below his shoulder and a lesion on the left forearm from the three-inch blade of a pocket knife. Freshman Darje J. Liggon turned himself in two and a half weeks later. The police charged him with criminal recklessness with a deadly weapon. Members of the fraternity blamed the fight on Liggon and said he kicked in a window. They said the fight broke out when they attempted to detain Liggon until the police arrived. Liggon told a different story. At a judicial board hearing in mid November, he said the events leading to fight involved racial slurs and the altercation was racially motivated. Dean of Students Richard McKaig said the Code of Student Ethics, the University Release of Information Policy and the Federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act prevented him from confirming, denying or explaining any matter involved in Liggon's "situation." McKaig said to his knowledge, Delta Chi was not under investigation for racial harassment.

excise police confiscate alcohol Parties were not to blame for all the Greeks problems during the year. Excise cops entered the Sigma Chi house Sept. 14 and found alcohol the members had been storing. The police seized 81 cases of beer, one keg and two fifths of tequila. They reported the incident to the IUPD and Dean McKaig. IUPD destroyed the alcohol while the University dealt with the fraternity. "The students on the (Fraternity/Sorority) judicial board fully deliberated the issues involved in this case and recommended what I believe to be an appropriate sanction,- he said. McKaig evaluated the fraternities record for the past four years and found they had a clean record. However, due to amount of alcohol seized, serious punishments were still inflicted upon the chapter. Dean McKaig suspended the chapter from all social and campus activities. Members of the fraternity were not permitted to participate in IU Sing, Homecoming and Little 500 until May 12, 1997. Additionally, they were not allowed to participate in parties, exchanges, serenades, social or formal events. The sanctions also required the fraternity to host an alcohol risk management seminar. "We knew going into the whole thing we made a big mistake," Sigma Chi President Matt Langfeldt said. "It's something the fraternity will not repeat.' delta upsilon faces lawsuit Members of the 1)elta Upsilon fraternity returned to campus in the fall with a cloud hanging over their house. Trouble for the fraternity began Feb. 3, 1996 when junior Amanda Harris fell from a third story window during a party. Delta Upsilon received disciplinary probation until May 15, 1997; a campus activities restriction until May 15, 1996; and a social restriction until Jan. 1, 1997. Over the summer, their problems became complicated when Harris decided to file a lawsuit against the IU chapter of DU, the DU national organization and the local and national DU alumni associations. Harris alleged the fraternity did not exercise "reasonable care" during the party nor did they make any effort to prevent future incidents of this kind which violated the University's alcohol consumption policy. She sued for a cash award to compensate for her medical expenses, pain and suffering and any future damages the court deemed just. Interfraternity Council President Brock Anderson said the IFC provided "any support or help necessary for (DU) to learn from this bad experience."

hazing results in probation After months of training, the Little 500 Riders for the Alpha Epsilon Pi were disappointed to learn they would not ride in the race. The Fraternity/Sorority Judicial Board cited the chapter for hazing, and recommended it be placed on probation. Dean McKaig confirmed the decision, which denied members the ability to participate in Little 500, Homecoming or in parties, exchanges or serenades. According to the campus Review Board, the chapter violated the University's hazing policy requiring pledges to "go above and beyond" what was expected while pledging a house. In response to the incident, Interfratemity Council President Joe Rurode said the house held a flag-football contest for the greek system and sponsored a wing eating contest to raise money for charity. "(AEPi) is taking the right steps to turn some things around - something all greek houses should do." he said. "mexican" theme party enrages students Dressed up in their pajamas, carrying their favorite stuffed animals or decked out in their favorite attire from the 80's, fraternity and sorority members attended their numerous theme dances throughout the year. As members of Phi Delta Theta and Delta Zeta got ready for their dance referred to as either "Mexican Fiesta" or "Tequila Sunrise," they thought they were in for a usual night of fun. The party, however, ended when students protested outside the front doors. While working in the office at the Latino Cultural Center, sophomore Guadalupe Lopez received a call from a concerned Mexican American student. The student was offended by the party-goers who dressed in wide brimmed sombreros and other traditional "Mexican" attire for the dance. Lopez then called his friends who called others. By midnight, a group of 30 students and a few administrators gathered in front of Phi Delta Theta to

protest the dance. Teri Hall, assistant director of Student Activities, and two students entered the party, demanded it end and fraternity and sorority executives meet with the Latino students the next day to discuss their concerns. Thirty students attended the discussion directed by Pam Freeman, director of the Racial Incidents Team and assistant dean of students. Junior Nicole Dawson, president of Delta Zeta said she learned from the meeting they should he more sensitive to other cultures. "This has definitely opened my eyes," she said. Neither chapter was charged with violations. fire forces relocation As the end of the year approached, most students worried about final exams and finding a ride home, but the members of Evans Scholars worried about finding a new place to live. At about 2 a.m., April 11, a fire destroyed the southern half of their house and commons area. Protective fire doors saved the living quarters, but some rooms were damaged by water and smoke. IUPD arrived on the scene almost immediately. Their primary concern was the evacuation of residents remaining in the house. Cause of the fire could not be determined. Junior Jeffrey Goeglein told police he heard the house fire alarm sound and saw thick smoke. He saw a couch on fire in the formal lounge and tried unsuccessfully to put it out. Lt. Steve Fiscus of the IUPD and the State Fire Marshal investigated the story to determine the cause of the fire. Residents of the house relocated to Eigenmann Hall where they finished the semester. "It was weird living in the dorm," junior Joe Nichols said. "It was a big adjustment but we all worked together and stayed supportive."

sportsfest

enjoy sports, culture hile most students on campus prepared for the upcoming Little 500, Latinos Unidos prepared for its own celebration, sportsfest. The weekend of April 1113, LUIU welcomed other collegiate Latino organizations from across the Midwest. Along with giving Latino students a chance to compete for fun, sportsfest gave them a chance to meet, help and learn from one another. Over the years, sportsfest grew from a weekend sporting event into a weekend of networking. "It was definitely something that I'm glad I participated in," freshman Manuel Amezcua from DePauw University said. "It was kind of like a little vacation from the everyday responsibilities of our organization. It gave us a chance to do something for ourselves." Program Assistant for the Office of Latino Affairs, Lillian Casillas, helped LUIU organize the event. In her fifth year of advising LUIU, Casillas watched the turnout increase every year. She estimated 120 students traveled to the university for the events. "What I've seen grow is more people coming down for the weekend," Casillas said. "They just want to come down and interact." LUIU worked throughout the year to raise money for the event. The Office of Latino Affairs helped to finance it, but students raised most of the money. Because the weekend was only geared towards the Latino students and not the entire student body, LUIU could not apply for funding. While members of the fund raising committee definitely had work to do, other people grouped to spread word of the festivities to other schools and plan events. Junior Cesar Flores directed the sporting events for the weekend. His responsibilities included selecting the sports and reserving rooms and equipment for the events. "I think the turnout we had was better (than in previous years)," Flores said. "We got a lot of responses hack this year. It's grown since I've been here. It's even to the point where we had to tell schools we had a full slate." The events began Saturday with volleyball at the HPER and flag football at Woodlawn field. After the day's events, students were welcomed at a banquet and MVPs won awards from the day's events. A female and a male from each event were nominated to receive MVP medals.

Featured speaker, graduate student Nancy Cardona, spoke to the participants about the weekend's theme, "Unity". "I spoke to the group about building solidarity within their organizations, building leadership within their groups," she said. Sunday morning the teams headed to the HPER for basketball, the final sporting event. After the last game, the organizations walked down the street to LaCasa for the tallying of points and presentation of awards. Overall, LUIU placed first. DePauw finished in second place. Purdue University Calumet's two teams captured third and fourth place. "The main reason I came to sportsfest was for the competition," sophomore Veronica Castellanos, member of Los Latinos at PUC, said. The competition is always tough between the rival schools. We usually come in second or third, while Bloomington always comes in first." The hospitality of LUIU impressed Amezcua. He came to sportsfest for the first time but said he would definitely he back. Amezcua attended all the events, but enjoyed the company of the other participants the most. "Everything was well organized and ran smooth,"

Amezcua said. "LUIU made us feel welcome. They were very cordial." Every year the same schools returned and with them they brought a few new groups to participah'. Casillas said. "It's so interesting," she said. "I've seen students who participate through the years and have been coming here since they've been in school. A lot of it is the fact that we've established a tradition. Everybody knows that sportsfest is in the spring and they contact us." LI

Letterman honors Indiana

stupid "hoosier" tricks invites audience, guests wad of spit strategically dropped from his mouth. It fell about one foot where it met the top of a stereo speaker littered with paper. As if there were a magnetic attraction, the saliva retrieved the paper and pulled it up placing it on his tongue. Thirteen years ago, while playing basketball and drinking Mountain Dew, junior Jack Huther discovered he had viscous saliva. Huther put his talent to good use by using his saliva to retrieve lettuce and cheese from his tray at Taco Bell and entertaining his friends blowing bubbles the size of his head. The "Stupid Hoosier Trick" auditions were an opportunity for Huther to use his talent to become famous. "All my friends are big Letterman fans, they said (I) could do it," Huther said. Huther made it to New York City where the show was taped, but unfortunately that was where his rise to stardom ended. Huther and five other Indiana residents competed for three spots on the April 25 airing of the show. Although disappointed that he did not appear on the show, Huther enjoyed his free trip to the Big Apple and the $680 he was paid for participating. Huther sat in the audience that evening with 460 Hoosiers. All of the guests were flown in and stayed in the Sheraton Hotel in Manhattan courtesy of Mr. Hoosier himself, David Letterman. About twenty IU students were members of the "Indianapolis Lovefest '97" audience. These were the lucky few chosen from a group of 100 students selected earlier by Dean of Student Activities, Jim Gibson as probable audience members

The 100 students arrived at the Indianapolis airport at 7:30 a.m. on the day of the show holding stand-by tickets. They hoped others wouldn't show up and they would be chosen to board the plane. -When they called our names we were ecstatic," said junior Blake Field who went to N.Y. with his friend, senior Chad Maskill. The "Late Show" made all of its out-of-town guests feel at home during the show, replacing the New York skyline with an Indianapolis replica. Mayor Stephen Goldsmith presented the "Top 10 List" to Letterman, who then passed it on to Pacer star, Reggi Miller for an entertaining reading. Miller told an audience full of Pacer fans why the team was better off not making the NBA tournament. After making fun of the Pacers, Letterman moved on to the students in the audience, joking with both IU and Ball State students about the quality of their education. "It was easy to laugh along with his Hoosier humor," Field said. Scott Clark, an IU graduate performed his human jacko-lantern on the show. His trick not only amazed members of the audience but also Letterman who didn't see any of the tricks until the taping of the show. Clark auditioned on April 17 in the crowded Gresham Cafeteria at Foster Quad. Approximately 60 students gathered to watch their friends and fellow students present stupid human tricks. Students performed a variety of tricks ranging from funny to just plain gross. Although Clark and Huther were the only competitors from the IU audition who made it to N.Y., other students were still able to entertain the crowd. junior, Allison Kuhne, smoked a cigarette with her stomach. "My stomachs name is Fred, he can talk, burp and eat m&m's, Kuline said. "When I started smoking so did (he)." Kuhne lifted her shirt to reveal the face of a man painted on her stomach. She lit a cigarette, inhaled once with her mouth and then passed it along to Fred. Although Fred did not eat any m&m's that evening, there were some interesting foods consumed by other contestants. Freshman Phillip Kane fed fellow freshman Josh Hendrick night crawlers. Kane threw the worms across the stage depositing them in Hendricks mouth. Brothers, Anthony and Dan Ponce didn't make it to New York either, but they entertained the student crowd with their tongue tricks. Taking turns, they made increasing numbers of loops. They began with just one loop, and for the grand finale opened their mouths to reveal five distinct loops. "In sixth grade I saw someone else (do tongue tricks) and I was amazed. I went home and practiced in a couple of months I could do anything I wanted with my tongue," Anthony said. "I showed my brother and he was intrigued he started practicing also, and we both discovered we had the talent." The pair perfected their trick for seven years. Although they did not appear on the "Late Show" they did appear on "America's Funniest People." All of the participants received a sponge embossed with the Late Show logo along with a prize package from the Halls of Residence.

eople asked me if I was embarrassed to drive the Wienermobile. No way. They don't realize this has pbeen a lifelong dream. The Wienermobile was in my blood. It goes back to the day Little Oscar, the World's Smallest Chef (he was 4-foot8), drove the Dog around Chicago. He was my grandfather's friend and best man in his wedding. I grew up hearing the stories of my father's childhood encounters with the Wienermobile. My first frustrating attempt to actually drive this fabled vehicle came during my freshman year at IU when I heard recruiters were coming to campus. I attended the meeting, only to be crushed by the news that the company hired only upperclassmen and recent graduates. When my junior year finally arrived and I could apply, I was turned down. I read the rejection letter over and over, debating whether I needed to join a 12-step program to get through my feelings. Instead, I redid my resume and reapplied the next year — and this time, I spelled Wienermobile correctly. I cut the mustard my senior year and landed a seat on the big dog. During my job-winning interview, my interviewer asked me if there was anything I wanted to show him, so I did some magic tricks. I made a wiener whistle disappear into thin air, then pulled it out of his ear. "What would you do if you could take the Wienermobile anywhere in the U.S. for one day?" he asked. "Go to Graceland," I told him. "I'd park that dog in front of Elvis's home and put a big sign on it saying, 'You ain't nothin' but a hot dog,' and do contests all day long." He liked that. And so, two generations after the Wienermobile appeared in my family, I became a driver. I completed two weeks of Hot Dog High in Madison, Wis., and then it was off to New Orleans for the talent search kick-off. There my teammates and I got the keys to our own dog. The 10 Hotdogger (as we were called) teams travelled through 90 cities in 37 states (and Washington, D.C.), taping roughly 70,000 little kids singing The Wiener jingle (you know, "Oh I wish I were an Oscar Mayer Wiener...") and The Bologna Song ("My bologna has a first name..."). Crazy things happened while I drove the Dog. One guy pounded on our door until we opened it. Apparently, this guy made a bet with friends on who would see the Weinennobile first. He did and won $100. While we were in Nashville, Tenn., Planet Hollywood celebrated its grand opening. We got wind of the party while flipping through radio stations on our way back to the hotel. A bunch of celebrities were going to be there and we wanted in on the action. So we changed course for Planet I Iollywood, stopping the Wienermobile across the

442 People

By Ben Slota with Meredith Bledsoe street just long enough for me to jump out. People lined the sidewalks and milled around everywhere. I handed out wiener whistles to the security guards, police officers and everyone else working crowd control. Thousands of people waited behind the ropes for all those stars. You could feel the excitement in the air. I strolled up the steps to the entrance, told the man sitting by the door that my name was Ben and I drove the Wienermobile. I explained that I was supposed to bring Bruce Willis to Planet Hollywood in the Wienermobile and I couldn't find him anywhere. He stared at me for a couple of seconds with a you-can't-be-serious look on his face, then fell for it. A moment later the Hollywood people scattered, trying to find Willis's limousine driver to tell him he wasn't needed. Everywhere, Planet Hollywood employees popped walkie-talkies to their ears and started asking questions. Those not on walkie-talkies dialed their cell phones, trying to find Bruce for me. I smiled. This whole scheme came out of the blue. I never talked to Bruce Willis, had hardly seen any of his movies, but thought this would be a good laugh. Surrounded by an entourage of security personnel, I walked down that royal red carpet where all the stars would soon tread. The crowd started cheering me as I walked by. I looked around amazed because these people thought I was someone important. They shook my hand, high-fived me and took my picture. "Who's that guy?" they said. "Oh my God, is he famous?" "Hello-o-o," I said. "I'm just the Wiener Dude, man. I'm not anybody famous." By the time we reached the end of the carpet, word got to the security people that I wasn't supposed to pick Bruce Willis up. Unfortunately, he did not want a ride. The head security man looked a little upset. "Son," he said. "You aren't supposed to pick up Mr. Willis. You need to leave." "Did I say Bruce Willis?" I smiled at him. "I meant Arnold Schwarzeneggar." "No, son," he said. "It's not going to work. You have to leave — now." So, I turned around and walked hack down the red carpet to the street. People thought I was even more famous, because who walks down the red carpet twice? My last stop with the Wienermobile was in Atlanta during the Olympic games. A friend of mine interned in the heart of the action and I wanted to show-off the big dog. I drove to see him and his boss came outside to see what was going on. I gave her a wiener whistle and a Hot Wheel Wienermobile. She got really excited and ran back inside to get something for me.

She came out with not one, but two Dream Team gold medal game tickets. I was dumbfounded. I had third row seats. Okay, they were third row from the top, but hey, I was in the house. Their face value was $130, but I got them for a wiener whistle and Hot Wheels. We (my girlfriend and I) could see everything the people in the front row could see, just smaller — we were nearly three city blocks away from the action.

And so my travels with the Wienermobile came to an end. As for the job, I got a salary, like any Oscar Mayer entry-level worker, with benefits and stuff like that. It wasn't high pay, but it wasn't minimum wage. I was happy with it, hut, hey — I'd do this for free. It was bunderful. Completing his stint as a driver for the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile, senior Ben Slota drove the Tombstone Pizza Slice. Slota and his partner pulled the 10 x 12' pizza slice with a van through 15 states. After a speeding ticket in Texas and getting impounded in Columbus, OH., Slota returned to Chicago.

women represent IU

just one shot in

Playboy

or two days, 60 young women attended an exclusive interview at the Hampton Inn on Walnut Street. But, this bore no resemblance to the typical job interview as the participants proceeded to strip down to bathing suits. These women hoped for only one outcome after having a couple of Polaroid photographs taken. They wanted to represent IU in Playboy's Big Ten Issue. Senior Susan Worley became one of few selected for the final shoot. "I was excited and shocked to be called back," Worley said. "I couldn't believe it. I wasn't even sure how many girls had applied." The final shoot occurred on Saturday, April 12 at the Bloomington Health and Fitness Club. Due to the nature of the magazine, the photo shoot could be held only in private residences and not on campus. Each of the women who participated in the final shoot received the same fee as other Playboy models and the same conditions applied: the less clothing, the more money Playboy paid. Sophomore Angela Riou admitted she felt nervous at first. "I couldn't sleep at all the night before, but when I met the other girls I realized we were all experiencing the same feelings. Once we got going, everyone relaxed and I made a lot of new friends," Riou said. "It didn't seem like work at all." Riou and Worley were both chosen for the group shoot of six individuals for the magazine. As to what they were wearing during the shoot, Riou said, "It's Playboy. We had a choice either partial nudity or no clothing at all." The final shoot lasted approximately 12 hours. When the women first arrived, they went through an hour of hair and make-up work. Because the lighting equipment raised the temperature, an

magazine

additional touch-up was necessary after each shot to keep the look right. Because lighting made or broke the photograph, setting up for each picture consumed a large amount of time. "I didn't realize how many tricks with lighting and set-up were involved with photography," Riou said. For some of the women, stripping bare caused some concern about whether family members and friends would understand. For Riou and Worley, this much needed support from their loved ones helped them through the initial awkwardness of posing. "I only told a few people at first," Worley said. "Everyone who knew was very supportive and no one gave me a hard time. I didn't pay too much attention to the campus reaction, but my friends did and they said they didn't hear anything negative." While Riou was impressed by how understanding her parents were, her boyfriend, sophomore Ramzi Nuseibeh, supported her the most. "I've been telling everyone," Nuseibeh said. "It's so cool. I don't look at her any differently now that she will appear in the issue. This has only made her feel great about herself and I'm just happy because she's happy." Despite the long process, both Riou and Worley believed shooting for the magazine proved to be an interesting and exciting experience. "If you're looking for an opportunity to get your foot in the door, then this is the way to do it," Worley said. Riou added, "It's a status thing. It offered me a chance to step into the glamorous world of modeling. After the experience, despite the long hours, I would be a model any day."

students work graveyard

night-shift to make ends meet n the corner of Third Street and Jordan Avenue sat the lonely Village Pantry. In the star-filled dead of night, the almost ignored stoplight directed a single car through the desolate intersection every few minutes. When the 24-hour convenience store's heavy door swung open by a customer bundled up to fight the cold, a shrill bell pierced the looming, dead silence. But the belligerent bell had a purpose. "The loud bell for incoming customers is my best friend," said the lone worker, Mitch Stevens, a sophomore majoring in microbiology. It kept him awake as he worked the long hours. The fluorescent lights lulled him away, but the bell at the door was his ally as the land of sleep called to him in the wee hours of the morning. A sign in the Village Pantry's window advertised Pepsi Big Slams for 99 cents. But on a Friday night in a college town, cola was not the beverage of choice. "There isn't much excitement here. Drunk people pass out occasionally, but that's about it," Stevens said. He said he did not mind the nocturnal hours too much. He wanted to reschedule his hours to a more normal schedule, but these hours were the only ones left open when he applied. With only the occasional drunkard, Village Pantry remained relatively calm over the midnight hours. It was not as calm at the New York Bagel and Deli, 430 E. Kirkwood Ave. — one of the busiest streets in Bloomington. The little shop that sold bagels, drinks and assorted other treats sat beside Taco Bell and across the street from Kilroy's Bar and Grill. Pedestrians walked, strolled and sometimes staggered past the large front window of the deli. Occasionally, a

patron came in to grab a bite to eat. Senior Melissa Ruch worked as a manager at the New York Bagel and Deli. Each employee worked the dreaded 11 p.m. to 3 a.m. shift once a month; and this night was her turn. Ruch, a full-time student said she did not mind the hours, since it was only once a month and the employees got to pick the weekend. The area was far from boring even though most people stopped by at Kilroy's and Taco Bell. The inebriated overflow and sometimes wound up in the deli. "Usually because of our location, we get a lot of drunks," Ruch said. "But, I also get to see everybody that I always hang out with." A few blocks from the deli stood an Amoco station. The beaming, bright red, white and blue sign contrasted sharply with the pitch-black night. The faint smell of shelved convenience store junk food mingled with the distinct, almost pleasurable, smell of gasoline. A few people came in for gas and cigarettes, but only sporadically. From 10 p.m. until 6 a.m., Russ Nelson ran the show at the station, 527 E. Third St. He worked the register, helped customers pump gas and restocked the shelves. Nelson worked this late night shift twice a week. But the arrangement carried over into his personal life, affecting his sleep. "My sleeping is very erratic. I usually just go home an chill out. Sometimes, I watch SportsCenter — hack-toback," Nelson said. While there were a lot of things to do on the weekends in Bloomington, an essential was finding a place to settle down after a night on the town. And for out-of-town visitors, there was no place more convenient than the Indiana Memorial Union Hotel. Every Friday and Saturday night from 11:15 p.m. to 7:15 a.m., Tim Cassidy worked the night shift as an auditor at the IMU Hotel. He made certain everyone got a good night's sleep. After working straight through the night at the IMU, he did not have the luxury of going home and getting some sleep. He also held down a job as a naturalist at the Paynetown State Recreation Area from 8 a.m. To 4 p.m. "It leaves me to try and squeeze about five or six hours of sleep in between," Cassidy said. "But, I really don't mind the hours. I enjoy the quiet, and it rarely gets boring," he said.

Relaxing at Deer Creek Music Center in Noblesville, Ind., sophomore Tiffany Shone and senior Scott Spencer listen to a Neil Young concert in early September. As the fall semester kicked into full gear, the number of activities in Bloomington increased and the need to drive to the Indianapolis area ceased. After a relaxing summer with little traffic, Bloomington welcomed students back with open arms. Festivals, outdoor live shows and special "welcome back" offers helped students and community residents readjust to the return of students. Photo by Matt McClain.

Joan Li, managing editor To the Bloomington student body: The Arbutus runs deep with tradition. And through this tradition of excellence, we want to please you — our readers and fellow students. So, read, study the pictures and look for friends. We hope this book will serve as a reminder of your college days at Indiana University. With that said, I'm taking this space to say some schtuff to my staffs. IT'S OVER, IT'S REALLY OVER! Not that it hasn't been fun or anything... it has. In fact, it's been great. But it needed to end. Jen, Amy, Scoot and Elizabeth: thanks for coming on board and trying so hard this year. Your efforts didn't go unnoticed or unappreciated. And Amy, we really don't think you need Prozac — at least most of the time. Adriane: Thanks for your work on the index and all of the advertising. Kathryn: Could do without the belches — but you're all right. Thanks for your hard work at the end of the year. Buenos suerte for next year! Kevin: Thank you so much for stepping up second semester. You saved us much grief. Thanks for always knowing how to make me smile! Good luck next year, too. Dmitry: Relax!! It will be okay, I promise. Jensen: Ya freak... thanks for leaving those rugby negs. Garrett: The sports section happened because of you! Can't thank you enough! Deb and Rebekah: Thank you so much

for your help in the office and especially during portraits. We'd be lost without you. Susan: Thanks for the payroll reminders. the business sense and the support. And the ear I could easily talk off. Dave: Thank you so very much for your support and free reign with the book. Even though you're behind the scenes, we feel your affect. (Thanks, too, for the dry erase board!) And everyone in backshop and CTS — love you guys! You are computer gods! Joan: Where do I even begin? We meshed in some psychotic way and I truly believe we share our brain... the finishing each other's thought thing got to be really strange. Thank you for being my support, my confidant, my idea board and my ear. Thanks for being my friend as well as being an incredible co-worker. Now if we can just land a job... Dan and Columbus East High School: Thanks for the experience of a lifetime with my student teaching. You handled my sleepless nights and rambling like professionals. Jenny, good luck! Cathy and Julie: Thanks so much for your patience and your understanding and for wading through our messes! (Cathy, thank you for all the extra support, I appreciate it) Mom: Thanks for understanding that it would take me more than four years... it was worth it. And see, I went through ceremony...

We were different races, religions and ages. Our sexual preferences varied as did our majors. We enjoyed loud music, quiet coffee houses and sunny days at Oliver Winery or Lake Monroe. We spoke with different accents, ate different foods Cajun to Thai — and enjoyed starry nights on front porches. We lived in a manner that became purely Hoosier, whether we were from Indy or Los Angeles. Whether it was voluntary or by force, we evolved as a student body into one which could only belong at IU. Our trip wasn't an easy one and we learned several valuable lessons along the way. With our diversity in the forefront of our lives, we quickly learned when we stepped on toes. Daily articles and letters to the editor appeared in the papers about racial problems and gender and sexual preference issues. We learned about each other through our mistakes. And while a theme party in the Greek system created cultural misunderstandings, it also served as a powerful teaching mechanism. So, we continued to learn about ourselves within the student body. Nothing was ever perfect and to keep our differences, our world, even at the university level, shouldn't be. But by developing our ability to accept and tolerate one another, we began to focus on the collective good and goals. Some of us would return to our parent's homes in May and struggle with the difficult transition of being home again. Others remained in town and began to live as Bloomington residents, whether we wanted to admit it or not. Those of us who stayed saw a completely different town than what we knew during the school year. The departure of more than 25,000 students converted the already relaxed town into a haven for cutoff wearing students taking summer courses. We attended early summer events like the NCAA Track and Field championships in a new, state-of-the-art stadium; hit the cotton candy vendors at the Fun Frolic which raised money for IU Child Care Services and Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Monroe County. As new graduates found jobs and moved into the next phase of their lives and undergraduates began to think about the next year, we took a little bit of what we learned through our diversity and our time at IU and applied it to our decisions.
