Lecture touches on Kurdish issues

By Christina Stigliani · Sunday, Nov. 5,2006 10:59 p.m.

Turkey's decision not to assist the United States in military campaigns against Iraq in 2003 echoed a similar course of action taken by Turkey in the colonial period, said Robert Olson, University of Kentucky professor of Middle Eastern history and politics, in a lecture Friday night.

Fat is phat but skinny is in

By Alyson Brodsy and Teri Rosenbaum · Sunday, Nov. 5,2006 10:35 p.m.

I have a love/hate relationship with my boyfriend, Denim. Sometimes he shrinks and doesn't perform very well. Sometimes he compliments my ass, so I let him get close and touch me inappropriately. Our relationship is unstable, but I know this much is true: I like skinny boys, but I love skinny jeans.

Speaker, musician offer free show

By Shannon Valentine · Sunday, Nov. 5,2006 10:34 p.m.

What happens on campus after dark? For some IU students, when the sun goes down and darkness sets in, the cue is to go home, grab a pack of Ramen noodles, crack the books, watch television or laze around.

Certificate merges arts, management

By Katie Ingmire · Sunday, Nov. 5,2006 10:33 p.m.

Before a symphony plays its first notes or a curtain unfurls at a theater, attendees must decide when to go, where to buy their tickets and where to find their seats.

Online Only: The Urge to splurge

By Alyson Brodsy and Jessica Simendinger · Sunday, Nov. 5,2006 10:30 p.m.

'Tis the season. Marked by falling leaves, crisp air and flocks of scantily clad freshman women in huddled masses walking toward frat houses, fall is in full swing. As someone with impeccable taste, let me say that, though the cash reserve accumulated by a summer's hard work is dwindling fast, there are some things this season worth the splurge.

Support our troops!

By Grace Low · Sunday, Nov. 5,2006 10:24 p.m.

As I walk the streets of Bloomington, I'm constantly encouraged by diverse social agents to "support our troops." There are generally two opposing camps in this argument, one which says to send more troops and more money, the other that says to support them by bringing them home. Both of these arguments, however, are knee-jerk reactions to the continuing deaths of our soldiers and are ineffective in practice.

Beat on the Bratz

By Alyson Brodsy and Michelle Manchir · Sunday, Nov. 5,2006 10:24 p.m.

"Baby girls with a passion for fashion!" Such is the slogan for Bratz Babyz, a very progressive and educational toy targeting young girls by MGA Entertainment. Except, that's an enormous lie. The dolls don heavy eyeliner, bright pink lipstick, long hair (it's as long as their entire body ... ?) and midriff-bearing tops. And, for Pete's sake, they look tanned. They are supposed to be 2 years old. Yeah, gross.

Potomac two-step

By Alyson Brodsy and Brian Stewart · Sunday, Nov. 5,2006 10:22 p.m.

I always try to be punctual when attending my classes. One day last week, I failed abysmally, strolling in a little past the range that might be generously considered "fashionably late." As I struggled to take my seat without much disruption, someone I didn't recognize looked in my direction and said, within earshot of maybe 10 others: "There's that radical neocon madman."

The FCC won't let me be

By Alyson Brodsy · Sunday, Nov. 5,2006 10:21 p.m.

In January, WIUX student radio finally moved to an FM frequency after nearly four decades of attempts. But there was barely any time to break out the Keystone before the Federal Communications Commission announced that it would allow WYGB, a country music station, to take control of WIUX's 100.3 FM frequency because of its higher broadcasting priority.

Church event rakes in more than $11,000

By Amanda Lowry · Sunday, Nov. 5,2006 10:14 p.m.

For the children of Bloomington's First Presbyterian Church, the Heifer Market Sunday meant a chance to pet live geese and baby cows. But for several impoverished families around the world, it will mean the chance to earn a living. The church's 18th annual Heifer Market was a project of Heifer International, a nonprofit organization that seeks to raise money to provide struggling families throughout the world with animals and teach them how to raise and market them in hopes of giving the families a starting point to make a living. Sunday's event raised a total of more than $11,250 toward that goal.
