Pothole problems plague Bloomington drivers

By Lindsey Jancek and Lindsay Jancek · Thursday, Feb. 3,2005 12:24 a.m.

Bloomington streets have transformed from a pre-winter smooth-concrete feel to a late-winter obstacle course of perilous pitfalls for many drivers. Potholes have been popping out of the asphalt on IU's campus and the surrounding Bloomington streets -- in turn upsetting IU students, town residents and guests.

New pick-up laundry service caters to greek life

By Christina Rasmussen · Thursday, Feb. 3,2005 12:22 a.m.

Walk into a college student's room and typically in one corner will be a heaping pile of dirty clothes. Laundry is the last thing on people's minds as they are preoccupied with schoolwork, classes, jobs and other extracurricular activities. But a quick-fix is now available. Valet Today, a new pick-up laundry service, is gaining recognition in Bloomington.

Kelley School career services say salaries, hiring increasing

By Britany Ausmus and Brittany Ausmus · Thursday, Feb. 3,2005 12:21 a.m.

Students in suits roaming the halls of the Kelley School of Business are a familiar sight -- particularly during the fall recruiting season when companies from all over the country come to interview IU students looking for full-time employment after graduation. In the past, students had to contend with a difficult job market, facing stiff competition for interviews and placement. That sluggish job market is no more, said Mark Brostoff, associate director of Undergraduate Career Services at the business school.

The art of merchandising

By Christina Galoozis · Thursday, Feb. 3,2005 12:20 a.m.

When you first walk through the doors of MetroWear on Morton Street, don't be surprised if you feel like you've just stepped out of a teleportation machine. The newly opened store that sells upscale men's clothing and skincare products looks -- and feels -- like something you would find in the streets of New York City or Chicago. And that is exactly what owners Branden and Nikki Johnson intended.

As pressure mounts, Fighting Illini respond

By Ryan Corazza · Thursday, Feb. 3,2005 12:01 a.m.

The last time an NCAA men's basketball team had a perfect season (our own Indiana Hoosiers of 1975-76), "Afternoon Delight" was the No. 1 song of the year, the United States was wrapping up a war overseas and "Three's Company" was a popular TV show.

DiFranco's latest one of her greatest

By Nate Gowdy · Thursday, Feb. 3,2005 12 a.m.

Ani DiFranco's latest, Knuckle Down, is a traffic jam of emotion. As usual, she drives the album home by moving the listener with two instruments — her voice and guitar. Of the 17 self-released albums on her Righteous Babe label since 1990, it's not a stretch to call this one the urban folksinger's strongest to date.

All-star cast anchors Eastwood's latest

By Tony Sams · Thursday, Feb. 3,2005 12 a.m.

The problem with reviewing Clint Eastwood's dark and powerful film, "Million Dollar Baby," is that I'd have to talk a lot about its ending for you to understand how I really feel about the movie.

Karly Tearney

Center Stage

By -Kehla West · Thursday, Feb. 3,2005 12 a.m.

She takes the microphone and taps it with her finger to make sure it's on. She pushes her hair behind her shoulder, takes a deep breath and nods to the man at the soundboard. She looks down at her shoes, grits her teeth and when the words pop up onto the screen, she opens her mouth and starts to sing the first few words of "Like a Virgin." She's hesitant at first, but soon the cheers and whistles start. Her bravery grows. Someone in the crowd lets loose with a catcall, and she rewards them with a little shimmy. The audience goes wild. She starts a little strut, a little dancing comes over her, and soon, she's channeling Madonna. Before long, she isn't just singing -- she's doing karaoke.

By Ash Cartwright · Thursday, Feb. 3,2005 12 a.m.

Samantha Mackenzie's frustration with the pressures and scrutiny that come from being the president's daughter reach a new level when she finds leaving home to start college only makes her situation more complicated rather than offering an escape.

Acting, story left in the 'Dark'

By Matt Waters and Matthew Waters · Thursday, Feb. 3,2005 12 a.m.

"Alone in the Dark" will easily be one of the worst movies made this year, and it's only the first week of February. From director Uwe Boll, the mastermind who hasn't failed in bringing us the same caliber of crap that he did with his last release, "House of the Dead," this is another flick adapted from a video game which should have stayed firmly within the gaming world.

Beneath the surface, 'Creek' offers plenty

By Adam Aasen · Thursday, Feb. 3,2005 12 a.m.

Sometimes the most overdone of premises can still make for an interesting movie. In his debut film, "Mean Creek," writer/director Jacob Aaron Estes starts you off with the concept of a young boy (Rory Culkin) getting revenge on a bully (Josh Peck) by stripping him naked and dumping him into a river.

Bloomington's Best Pub Grub

By Stephanie Sims · Thursday, Feb. 3,2005 12 a.m.

People go to bars mainly to socialize with friends over a few casual drinks. The main attraction of a bar, especially bars in college towns such as Bloomington, is its drink deals. It's a known fact that college students have little money, and bars that offer cheap drafts or mixed drinks will get a lot of business. But cheap food is another story. Sure, there's Taco Bell and Wendy's, and pizza places are open as late as 4 a.m. But what if your stomach starts grumbling while out at the bar, and your friends aren't quite ready to leave? Which bars have menus that can satisfy the craving and hush the growling? Which menus have options that are easiest on the wallet?

Dalai Lama

Swept away and seemingly lost

By -Nate Bethea · Thursday, Feb. 3,2005 12 a.m.

It's a barely-perceptible line that separates expression from histrionics. It's a dangerous undertaking to attempt a follow-up to a resounding success, almost as dangerous as it is to reach far beyond your grasp. Worlds Apart, the new release from 2002's skull-cracking indie werewolves ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead is a flawed achievement that runs afoul of these lines.
