Ivanhoe’s a snooze, so read about some zoos

By Lindsey Landis · Sunday, May 13,2007 8:52 p.m.

Unless you are absolutely starving for a book to save your sanity and it is the only one you can find, don’t read “Ivanhoe.” I would consider myself to be pretty high on the boredom scale, but I couldn’t even get through chapter three. The two main characters, who shall remain nameless because I can’t remember their consequence to the story, hadn’t even finished their leisurely stroll through the forest by the end of the third chapter.

Abridging History

By Rachel Fullmer · Sunday, May 13,2007 6:48 p.m.

Being the most indecisive person I know, it’s no wonder I’ve changed my major four or five times within the two semesters I’ve been at IU, and may change again. Blame it on being a freshman, but after considering SPEA, journalism and various others, I recently decided just to study something I enjoy.

Primates are people too

By Abby Schwimmer and Ab Schwimmer · Sunday, May 13,2007 6:41 p.m.

You’ve witnessed them chaining themselves to trees to block the path of an incoming bulldozer. You’ve seen them picketing outside KFC, protesting the “slaughter” of anything that casts a shadow. And by now, you’ve come to the conclusion that environmental advocates are completely and inexcusably insane.

The IU School of Dentistry has a long and celebrated history. In the early 1950s, biochemist Harry Day, with the help of Joseph Muhler and William Nebergall, developed the first toothpaste to combine the effectiveness of a matted abrasive cleaner with the protection of fluoride and didn’t taste like poison.

By Abby Schwimmer and Ab Schwimmer · Friday, May 11,2007 10:54 a.m.

The proverbial “rites of spring” could not possibly measure up to what has come to be the mainstay of summer: the road trip, the quintessential component of college breaks. During the upcoming months, many of you will take part in the age-old ritual, meeting with adventures, crazy times and self-discovery a la Britney Spears in “Crossroads.”
