‘Cinderella’ provides fairy-tale ending to ballet season

By Ashley Wilson · Tuesday, March 27,2007 12 a.m.

The IU Ballet Theater has a reputation for presenting ballets that are far from disappointing, and Friday evening’s performance of “Cinderella” was no exception. The imaginative production, which had its world debut in the spring of 2005 and featured the original choreography of professor of music Jacques Cesbron, was both lively and humorous, with choreography that remained true to traditional movements. The opening scene in this three-act ballet takes place inside Cinderella’s house with Cinderella, senior Catherine Wolfson, scrubbing the floors while her two stepsisters and stepmother, Stephanie Lampe, Whitney Huell and Brittany Balthrop respectively, prepare for “The Prince’s Ball.”

First diet drug for dogs approved by the FDA

By Heather Haemker · Tuesday, March 27,2007 12 a.m.

Attention, dog owners of the world: The Food and Drug Administration has approved the first diet pill for dogs. Slentrol, produced by Pfizer Inc., was approved Jan. 5 as the first canine diet pill on the market, according to the FDA. Scientists developed it to fight the rising number of obese dogs. According to FDA surveys, 5 percent of dogs in the United States are obese and another 20 percent to 30 percent are overweight. Slentrol is aimed at dogs that are at least 20 percent over their ideal weights. Dr. Stephan Sundlof, director of the FDA’s Center for Veterinary Medicine, told MedPage Today, a medical-news service, that Slentrol is a “welcome addition to animal therapies, because dog obesity appears to be increasing.”

One road, many paths

By Jacob Stewart and Jake Stewart · Monday, March 26,2007 12 a.m.

For many high-school students across the nation, the decision whether to enter college or immediately enter the job market is one that is primarily concerned with economics. For many, working part-time is a necessity rather than an option if they desire to attend college. Tuition payments in Indiana can range from the in-state tuition of Ivy Tech Community College at $2,632.50 to the $20,472 required by IU for out-of-state students.
