Missed opportunity

By Nathan Dixon · Tuesday, Oct. 20,2009 10:28 p.m.

“Not Evil, Just Wrong,” a new film arguing that evidence for man-made global warming is inconclusive and that efforts to curb carbon emissions will necessarily lead to economic catastrophe, premiered at IU last Sunday. The film was shown by the IU College Republicans in Woodburn Hall, and even though it didn’t attract a big crowd – the group’s weekly meetings do much better – the screening was significant. I thought it represented a missed opportunity.

By Caitlin Peterkin · Tuesday, Oct. 20,2009 10:21 p.m.

By the third encore, tears came to my eyes seeing every member of the audience standing on his or her feet, swaying back and forth and waving their hands in the air while “Hey Jude” resounded in the IU Auditorium. Earlier this semester, I gave my top five performances to see this fall and listed “Rain: A Tribute to the Beatles.

Student volunteer program explores traditions, opens doors to foreign countries

By Margaret Ely · Tuesday, Oct. 20,2009 10:18 p.m.

When freshman Brian Inlow heard about the Mathers Museum of World Cultures docent (museum volunteer) program, he couldn’t help but perk up. The opportunity was right up his alley. “I became interested in joining the docent program because I am really fascinated by other cultures,” Inlow said. “I love learning about the things that make different groups of people unique, and I figured that volunteering at Mathers could help me continue to extend my cultural awareness and knowledge.”

Dylan becomes a Christmas crooner

Tuesday, Oct. 20,2009 5:22 p.m.

Bob Dylan: scrawny lyrical troubadour, acid-tinged cosmos prophet, rural recluse, born-again God-fearer, tireless ringmaster behind the Never Ending Tour carnival – and Christmas crooner?

“Out of Ashes” is an album full of tracks that Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington couldn’t mold into his main band’s sound – meaning more straightforward rock that is far less interesting.

Rocketing into our hearts

Tuesday, Oct. 20,2009 5:13 p.m.

Power-pop outfit A Rocket to the Moon surpasses its past efforts with the full-length debut, “On Your Side,” mostly because the act grasps the concept of playing to its listeners’ emotions.


‘Wild Things,’ you make my heart sing – somewhat

By Doug Evans · Tuesday, Oct. 20,2009 5:12 p.m.

The most memorable aspect of the “Where the Wild Things Are,” the 1963 children’s book written by Maurice Sendak, is Sendak’s own illustrations. It is stunning but simple – giant, yellow-eyed, hairy monsters with sharp claws romping in the wilderness. Sendak uses few words in telling the story.


Beach Boy-like pop sunshine

By Cory Barker · Tuesday, Oct. 20,2009 5:10 p.m.

While most of their peers have drenched themselves in neons and synths, Sherwood’s Southern California-Beach Boys-esque pop sheen has put them on a whole new level since 2005’s “Sing, But Keep Going.” And with their latest, “QU,” the band only improves that sound, resulting in one of 2009’s better pure pop releases.

‘Citizen’ is no mastermind

By Brian Welk · Tuesday, Oct. 20,2009 5:07 p.m.

So far this year, Gerard Butler has been unconvincing as a journalist, a video game avatar and now a mastermind murderer.
