Union Board shows independent films

·

Many students on campus have been to a Union Board movie at some point or another. They're free, they're on campus and you get to see some of the big budget films you may have missed. This year, however, there is another reason to go to the Whittenberger Auditorium -- the Independent Film Series.

BPP series targets IU audience

·

Sex. Violence. Profanity. Nudity. These are the kinds of things that attract the attention of college students says Joel Pierson, this season's producer of the "Dark Alley Late Night" series at the Bloomington Playwrights Project. The series, which has been an annual attraction for the past two years, focuses on shorter plays that are more adult-themed than the theater group's regular "Mainstage" productions. It kicks off this week with "Platinum Travel Club," by Canadian playwright Franca Miraglia, and has IU students locked in as the target audience.

This means that not only is lap-dancing prohibited, but so are other staples of the strip club environment, like tucking dollars into G-strings.

But according to a recently released NCAA report from the Sportsmanship and Fan Behavioral Summit, the problem of behavioral misconduct does not lie solely with those in the athletic department. The summit was created to discuss the growing problem of fans' behavior at sporting events when linked with alcohol.

Your hometown is boring

I don't know which town you call home, but I bet I know something about it. It's pretty lame, right? Nothing to do? Nowhere to go?
