Group dynamics

By Julia Boriss · Thursday, Jan. 31,2008 10:14 p.m.

I used to get annoyed with people who complained about group projects. Hating group projects is about as original as dreading Monday mornings and liking snow days. But I never really had to do a group project until this semester, and now suddenly the only thing I ever want to do is complain about them.

Thursday, Jan. 31,2008 10:09 p.m.

After a semester of writing columns for the ladies, I have decided to branch out and write about one of (straight) women’s favorite subjects: men. I am as much a fan of the boys as the next girl, but after spending two-and-a-half years at IU, I have decided that the male half of the student population needs a bit of help when it comes to getting dressed in the morning.

Why plastic surgery rocks

By Rachel Goldberg · Thursday, Jan. 31,2008 10:07 p.m.

This column came about because of Bret Michaels. And believe me, I never thought I’d write that sentence. For some reason, my friends and I gather round every Sunday to watch “Rock of Love 2,” and yet all we do is talk about how bad it is the whole way through.

It’s not likely that censors ever advised viewer discretion for adult content in Mozart’s operas. But William Bolcom’s “A Wedding” is different. Saturday, the Grammy Award-winning composer’s creation opens at the Musical Arts Center with a comical twist on a classical art form.

Two weeks ago, IU Provost Karen Hanson announced her plans to increase diversity on campus. Before the soon-to-be-formed Campus Diversity Committee has its first meeting, it is important to clarify one thing: Diversity does not mean colorful. Think about a bag of M&M’s.

Rock(y) the vote!

Thursday, Jan. 31,2008 10:02 p.m.

Since the beginning of elections, an important gauge of a candidate’s legitimacy for public office is the number and quality of endorsements he or she can rack up. If a candidate has the backing of more respected endorsers than his or her opponent, that can often translate into momentum and votes.
