Never fear – experts from the IU Department of Theatre and Drama have advice for not only understanding, but even enjoying, the Bard’s dramas.

I put a spell on you

By Mike Abrams · Thursday, Sept. 18,2008 12:03 a.m.

Expelliarmus. Wingardium Leviosa. Expecto Patronum. Lumos. Well, crap. I’m still in the dark, my computer is not levitating, I don’t have an extremely bright blue streak coming out of my pencil and my roommate is still holding the butter knife I tried to disarm him of. I guess my Harry Potter spells didn’t work. Now stay with me here.

Kotynski sisters set to face off

By Brandon Smith · Thursday, Sept. 18,2008 12:02 a.m.

When the IU women’s soccer team (4-3) plays at 7:30 p.m. today against Butler (3-4) at Bill Armstrong Stadium, one Hoosier player will be doing something she has never done before – play against her sister. Junior defender/midfielder Christie Kotynski will face her younger sister, Mandi Kotynski, who is a freshman defender/midfielder for the Bulldogs, a team IU has beaten the last seven times they’ve faced off. “It’s going to be a lot different,” Kotynski said. “I never really played against her. We did a one-v-one thing in high school, and that was really the only time we played against each other, and we really didn’t talk to each other on the way home.” Kotynski said she expects to see her sister often, considering they play the same position.

You can learn a lot from New York

Wednesday, Sept. 17,2008 10:11 p.m.

Welcome New York students! Having lived in your state for 30 years, happily and productively though being a native Hoosier, I am familiar with both. I lived all over Manhattan during the early years of my career. As a young girl, provincial and unsophisticated, N.Y.C. might have swallowed me. Such was not the case. Not only did it accept me – it gave me space and I was happy.

Not the Rage

Wednesday, Sept. 17,2008 10:09 p.m.

Thursday’s Indiana Daily Student column was “Teen mothers are all the rage” by Claire Burke. ‘All the rage’ I would hardly say only because this is what sells in my opinion. It starts off by saying, “The Spears family has done it again”. Why must we keep relating everything back to Jamie Lynn? Is it because here she is, another young female that lives the life of fame and at the age of 17 had a baby? Oh, well she made the decision to have unprotected sex – the same as people do everyday and the outcome was that she got pregnant just as ordinary people do.

Columnist misrepresents liberals

Wednesday, Sept. 17,2008 10:08 p.m.

It’s unfortunate that the “political” director of the IU Republicans doesn’t know the difference between a monarchy and a socialized republic. The first takes your money and land and keeps them, allowing certain citizens to starve. The latter takes a part of your money and uses it to feed those who are starving. One could call it “institutionalized charity.”
