By Whitney Mitchell · Monday, April 2,2007 12 a.m.

The IU rowing team dominated Cincinnati, Dayton and Eastern Michigan on Saturday at Harsha Lake in Cincinnati. All boats beat the other crews by considerable margins. “We expected to win but I don’t think we expected to win by as much as we did,” said sophomore Jamie Spoto. “The boats just rowed a really solid race.”

Some contestants sang. Some played instruments. One girl even made a very convincing trumpet sound using only her mouth. While only a handful of people signed up to be in Read Hall’s talent competition Thursday evening, audience members said the event was definitely entertaining.

Controversial IUSTV comedy shows lead to statement of decency

By Annemieke van Dongen · Friday, March 30,2007 12 a.m.

A fake investigative report about sex in the stacks of the library, a humorous look at racism through milk and a story about people selling their family to play the stock markets. The three comedy shows that IU Student Television has expanded its programming lineup with this year are all boundary-pushing. Complaints about controversial items have led to the design of a statement of decency at IUSTV, the only independent student-run TV station in the country.

IU not overlooking last-place Spartans

By Jordan Cohen · Friday, March 30,2007 12 a.m.

The IU men’s tennis team won 15 of its 16 matches against Michigan State before coach Ken Hydinger’s arrival in Bloomington. Since then, the Hoosiers have continued their dominance of the Spartans, going 22-4 in Hydinger’s 21 seasons. While No. 71 IU (11-7, 1-2) might be better than Michigan State (9-11, 0-4) on paper, that means nothing to the Hoosiers.

Now it’s Big Ten play. In their first conference games of the season, the Hoosiers host the Michigan State Spartans in a four-game series this weekend and will look to extend the longest winning streak in Smith’s time IU.

Student playwright works to bring young audiences to theater

By Ashley Wilson · Friday, March 30,2007 12 a.m.

It’s safe to say that Paul Shoulberg knows a thing or two about writing for the stage. Since joining the Master of Fine Arts in playwriting program three years ago, the 30-year-old Kansas native has written seven full-length plays, a handful of 10-minute pieces and two one-acts – the majority of which have been features as either full-length productions or staged readings. Not bad for a guy who didn’t start writing until he was 23 years old and who, as a high-school student, never once attended a play.

Once you go white

By Johnathan P. Rossing and Jonathan P. Rossing · Friday, March 30,2007 12 a.m.

Imagine a town with a sign at city limits warning: “Nigger, don’t let the sun set on you here!” Probably some racist Southern town from 100 years ago, right? Guess again. From the 1890s through the 1960s many towns through the West and Midwest forced out black (and sometimes Asian and Jewish) residents.
