With a 23-14 win over Iowa on Saturday, the Purdue Boilermakers are 4-0 for the second time under coach Joe Tiller.

Although the wins haven't been pretty, they're still wins, said Tiller.

"It's a little different because at Purdue we've been spoiled rotten," he said. "Some folks aren't used to us playing a lot of close games, but all we have to do at the end of the game is have more points."

Once again, the Boilers' offense used a strong fourth quarter performance to overcome early lapses.

Trailing 14-13 early in the fourth quarter, quarterback Brandon Hance, who was 17 of 33 for 147 yards, scored on a 4-yard touchdown run, capping an eight-play, 69-yard scoring drive for No. 21 Purdue. The Boilers never looked back.

Raising his voice to be heard over the noise of a service worker using a leaf blower, Matthew Popovich demanded that Purdue give its staff members the respect they deserve.

"If Purdue University really wants to be a university that is the envy of all higher education institutions in this country, they should give their employees the respect and dignity that they rightfully deserve," said Popovich, a senior in the School of Liberal Arts, as he read a statement on the steps of Hovde Hall.

Popovich, along with about 20 other Purdue students and employees, gathered to protest the low wages of Purdue's clerical and service staff. "Living Wage Purdue!," a group within Purdue Students Against Sweatshops, met at noon on Thursday waving signs and wearing shirts proclaiming, "Discover Purdue; Have you seen dignity?"

Basketball player's memory lives on

Stephanie (White) McCarty’s pre-game ritual as a member of the WNBA’s Indiana Fever includes writing "23" on the toes of her shoes in memory of fallen teammate Tiffany Young, who wore the number at Purdue.

Before McCarty shoots free throws, before she checks into a game or when she needs some inspiration, the three-year WNBA veteran looks at her shoes and instantly thinks of the good times she had with Young.

Security increases remain for Saturday

Fans attending Saturday’s football game between Purdue and Iowa will once again see heightened security at Ross-Ade Stadium. The security increases were implemented for the first home game against Akron Sept. 22 in response to the terrorist attacks on America on Sept. 11.

The only change in security for this week’s game will be in regard to the policy on water bottles. Fans will be permitted to bring water bottles into the stadium, but only if the bottles are full and sealed. Ticket takers will check bottles at the gate. Water bottles with broken seals and bottles containing anything but water will be prohibited. This means that soft drinks and other colored liquids, even if in a sealed bottle, will be confiscated.
