'Echoes' of post-punk and everything else

By C. Warner Sills and -Nate Bethea · Wednesday, Oct. 29,2003 5:41 p.m.

In the tradition of the Talking Heads, a band has come along with a sound too abrasive for the mainstream and too stunning to dismiss. You'll probably never see The Rapture hamming it up on TRL, but their debut album Echoes is one of the strongest and hardest-to-categorize records to come out this year.

Spice up Your Halloween

By C. Warner Sills and Jess Huffman · Wednesday, Oct. 29,2003 5:37 p.m.

Tradition tells us that Halloween is all about tricks and treats, but digging deeper, history tells a much more elaborate story.

The Shins 'chute' to thrill

By C. Warner Sills and -Val Tsoutsouris · Wednesday, Oct. 29,2003 4:47 p.m.

Sometimes on a long road trip, the traveler will want to step out and take some pictures of the beautiful, unusual scenery. That pastoral appreciation is what listening to The Shins is like. On Chutes Too Narrow, the band's vision is of a crevice of Americana that's as pure as a freshly mown meadow and gently rolling stream.

The IU Student Association will propose a new elections code to its congress Tuesday, which has major changes from the previous code that will benefit the students and the candidates, said IUSA Elections Coordinator Derek Molter.

Living with a Disability

By Jackie Walker and Jacqueline Walker · Wednesday, Oct. 29,2003 1:51 a.m.

Placing the square metal box in her lap, junior Erin Fountain pushes one of the blue buttons on top. Quickly, she pushes two more buttons with her pointer fingers. She glides the tips of her fingers across the surface as different Braille dots move up and down. To some, Fountain's machine might appear to be a hand-held video game. But in reality, the metal box (Braille Note) helps Fountain, a blind student at IU, take notes by voice, tell time and even calculate numbers. For students like Fountain, disabilities can present obstacles in everyday life. But IU, backed by the Bloomington community, is working to minimize these obstacles. Rather than simply raising awareness about handicap needs, they are taking action to cater to the problems.

By Sarah Schwimmer · Wednesday, Oct. 29,2003 1:24 a.m.

Last week, Democratic candidate for mayor, Mark Kruzan, spoke to Rotary Club members over lunch in the Frangipani Room of the Indiana Memorial Union. With an opening that sounded like it could have been written by a stand-up comedian rather than a politician, Kruzan delivered his plan for the future of Bloomington to the roughly 100 people in attendance.
