There are about three pages in the book regarding Knight, and Sperber insists the timing of the book release was coinci­ dental with Knight's firing.

"My • total feeling is relief for IU and that it can move on from this . and go back to the education." Sperber said the riot on campus resulting from Knight's firing was an example of the theme of his book, that athletics and partying take precedence over academics. Sperber said he tried not to focus on IU in his book, but said that it is a "beer and cir­ cus" school. "It proves my thinking in many ways how attentive stu­ dents are to sports and how alienated they are to the aca­ demics," Sperber said of the actions of IU students. "I was­ n't picking on IU, but I could­ n't ignore IU. Like IU football, it's sort of in the bottom of the Big 10. The only thing IU was different with was Bob Knight.

When I first saw the Sept. 6, article about The Milwaukee Idea Diversity? ("Critics question goals of Milwaukee Idea") I was pleased that the campus newspaper was covering UWM's important initiative for community-university engagement, but disappointed to find U W-Madison was busted last week in doctoring photos on its admission materials (see story that the piece was a critical one. I certainly recognize that major initiatives like The Milwaukee page one). The university admitted it had inserted the photo of a black student, Mr. Diallo Shabazz, Idea must be open to review and criticism by audiences from into an all-white student picture to make the university appear more diverse to prospective students.
