Queens of the Stone Age Era Vulgaris : B+

By Brian McFillen and Grace Low · Thursday, June 14,2007 12 a.m.

Vulgaris is about three-fourths greatness, one-fourth OK-ness and no lameness. Lead single "Sick, Sick, Sick," with vocals from The Strokes' Julian Casablancas, is a killer bass-heavy dance track, and it's also rivaled by many other excellent moments. Vulgaris might not be QOTSA's best, but since what's common for them is exceptional for most other bands, it's well worth your time.

Hostel: Part II-B

By Chris Wisner and Mike McElroy · Thursday, June 14,2007 12 a.m.

Much like when the first "Hostel" came out, plenty of critical disgust was spewed forth, for it was "too shocking" and "grotesque." What most fail to realize is the first film, and now "Hostel: Part II," came out at opportune times when the American box office managed to be flooded with unnecessary remakes of horror classics, "Saw" sequels and Japanese horror films dumbed down for our audiences. Sure it's a sequel, but its a worthy one at that.

By Sara Amato · Wednesday, June 13,2007 9:19 p.m.

It is a common belief IU has a policy that if a tree is taken down on campus, two trees must be planted in its place. Professor James Capshew said he’s never heard of a policy of that sort, but it shows the importance and value trees have on campus.

News blues

By Brian J. McFillen · Wednesday, June 13,2007 8:47 p.m.

One of the tough realities about the news media is that while journalistic ideals dictate that you try to inform the public about important things – things they need to know about – what pays the bills is reporting things they want to know about. Although the latter might be interesting, it’s generally unimportant.

Phil’s Phorgotten Phailure

By Mike Abrams · Wednesday, June 13,2007 8:21 p.m.

Dear Mr. Phillip Mickelson, Remember June 18, 2006? Of course you remember. How could you forget? You will never forget that Sunday. It was late afternoon and you were walking off the 17th green. You had a one-shot lead with one hole to play. You were four measly strokes away from winning the U.S. Open Championship, a title you had dreamed of winning since childhood.
