Monroe County time capsule to be opened in 2107

By Shannon McEnerney · Sunday, June 17,2007 7:40 p.m.

The traffic surrounding the courthouse and the occasional cell phone ringtone seemed to be the only differences between 1907 and 2007 on Saturday at the Monroe County Courthouse. At least, that is what Stephen Volan, common councilman member for District 6, said about the square's environment during the re-enactment and rededication ceremony that took place in honor of the courthouse's 100th anniversary.

Gold digging in a cemetery

Guns for higher

By Jacob Stewart and Jake Stewart · Sunday, June 17,2007 5:43 p.m.

In a capitalist age where the size of the wallet can trump the amount of knowledge in the brain, universities are unable to escape a continued need for revenue and funding in order to compete in the academic market. To this end, several universities across the nation have spent hours devising schemes and plans to increase the amount of money flowing into their campuses.

Not fun being 21

By Colleen Carroll · Sunday, June 17,2007 5:43 p.m.

Wednesday at midnight I will turn 21 and, besides reaching the legal drinking age, will – mathematically speaking – officially enter my 20s. I’ve both dreaded and anticipated this birthday, primarily because after Wednesday the only age-relative events I have to look forward to are social security checks and cutting a child out of my will.

Worth the cost

By Abby Schwimmer and Ab Schwimmer · Sunday, June 17,2007 5:42 p.m.

Sometimes, when I walk past gas stations and look at the sky-high prices advertised on their signs, I have to take a moment to digest the insanity. Such was the case in the summer of 2004, the first time I ever saw gas priced at $2 a gallon.

‘Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close’ to being the best book you’ll ever read

By Lindsey Landis · Sunday, June 17,2007 4:59 p.m.

Last summer, I saw the film “Everything is Illuminated,” starring Elijah Wood. I have seen it at least five times since and tell people it is my favorite movie. Its gorgeous imagery, quirky characters and freshness captivated me. I recently learned this movie was based on a book by Jonathan Safran Foer, who also wrote “Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close” – my new favorite book.

Monopoly: Paris edition

By Mike Abrams · Sunday, June 17,2007 4:58 p.m.

It was a real life Monopoly game. Paris Hilton was put in jail for violating probation on drunk driving the car playing-piece. Then she landed on Daddy’s community chest and got a “Get Out of Jail Free” card – at least for a day. Then she rolled double fives twice and landed herself right back in jail. And rightfully so.

Giving back

By Ari Shifron · Thursday, June 14,2007 2:55 p.m.

Although he is an accomplished NBA player, former IU and Bloomington High School North standout Jared Jeffries put his fame aside and came back home for a week. Jeffries held a weeklong camp for about 100 children at the Banneker Community Center, 930 W. 7th St., and ended the week by giving a $4,000 contribution to the City of Bloomington Parks and Recreation Department.

Rihanna Good Girl Gone Bad : C-

By IDS staff and Alex Cohen · Thursday, June 14,2007 12 a.m.

No one expected Good Girl to be more than a collection of mindless dance-floor jams, and at least for the first five tracks, it lives up to expectations. Unfortunately, the album's second half is just mindless.

By weekend staff · Thursday, June 14,2007 12 a.m.

So be honest, how much are you willing to pay for this experience? $50? $100? Your first-born? Try $40. Max. Parties of 6-12 get a group rate of $40 per person, which includes the gun, mask, air, 500 balls and 3-4 hours of pure, aggression-releasing mayhem.
