Chinese university creates partnership with IU law school

By Beka Mech · Thursday, Sept. 7,2006 11:30 p.m.

Even as a little girl growing up in Beijing, IU law student Judy Tian knew she wanted to come to the United States. After graduating with a bachelor's degree in law from TianJin University in China though, she encountered the obstacle of obtaining her visa. "I was rejected four times," she said, as she described how hard it is for Chinese students to get visas.

Students can drop it off like it's hot

By Kristi Oloffson · Thursday, Sept. 7,2006 11:25 p.m.

If trekking all the way up the stairs of the Herman B Wells Library to return a book was difficult before, relief is in sight. The library is now offering three new book drops where students can return materials from any IU-Bloomington library on campus without even opening their car door. The only problem is many students don't know the drop-offs are there.

After letting two wins slip away last weekend, Freitag and the gang are picking up the pieces.

By Michael Sanserino · Thursday, Sept. 7,2006 10:53 p.m.

Watching the game tape from Sunday's overtime loss to in-state rival Notre Dame, IU men's soccer coach Mike Freitag noticed a couple things about his team's play. First, the Hoosiers had a hard time stopping Notre Dame forward Joe Lapira. Second, his boys were tired. "We had some heavy-legged backs, some tired backs that came against the Tasmanian devil (Lapira)," Freitag said.

UN vs. Israel

By Alyson Brodsy and Edward Delp · Thursday, Sept. 7,2006 10:44 p.m.

So the United Nations wants to investigate Israel's alleged human rights violations during the recent conflict in Lebanon? I suppose I can understand that. After all, it was Israel that crossed the border and captured soldiers. It was Israel that went into civilian areas and hid behind innocent people as it launched rockets at its enemies. It was Israel that sent suicide bombers into neighboring countries. Wait. Israel did not do those things. Hezbollah did.

Terrorism, not Nazism

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, Sept. 7,2006 10:42 p.m.

Say what you will about the members of the Bush administration, but they are wordsmiths. That's a title that neither myself nor most people would normally bestow on someone such as "W," but if you look at the administration's history, I think that it's a fair word to use to describe them. The administration has used the power of words to make Democrats out to be homosexual lovin', baby killin', un-American softies on national security.

Time to change course

Thursday, Sept. 7,2006 10:30 p.m.

On Tuesday, the Bloomington Faculty Council met to review a proposed standard general education curriculum for all the schools in the IU system -- a measure intended to help undergraduate students transfer between the regional campuses. Included with the more conventional requirements -- English, math, humanities, sciences, etc. -- is a plan to have all students take six credits in second-year foreign language courses, six credits in cultural diversity courses (with one course coming from an area of the world beyond the United States and Western Europe) or a semester abroad. The proposed curriculum is still in the discussion stage (although the BFC is optimistic that it will pass with some modifications) and is not due to go into effect until the arrival of the freshman class of 2011.

By Kasey Hawrysz · Thursday, Sept. 7,2006 12:28 a.m.

Most 20-somethings are content to buy their booze, but Caleb Staton has been brewing it since he was barely old enough to drink. "After I graduated college, I started brewing beer in my basement," he said. "At first it was just a hobby. I was kind of goofing around and figuring it out."

Sushi 101

By Ariel Ivas · Thursday, Sept. 7,2006 12:16 a.m.

Sophomore Craig Shank did not feel confident the first time he tried sushi. Intimidation is a common among students who have never tried sushi before, but experts and students alike say that with a little bit of daring and some help from friends, learning to eat sushi can be fun and easy.

"Illusionist" conjures up fairy tale storytelling

By Chris Wisner and compiled by Chris Wisner · Thursday, Sept. 7,2006 12 a.m.

The movie "The Illusionist" is one of those rare cinematic delights the film world rarely churns out anymore: a period piece that relies not on fancy sets and costumes but on solid performances carried by a story surely written in finest calligraphy. Edward Norton plays Eisenheim the illusionist, a man capable of taking off his gloves, turning them into black ravens before planting a single seed into a soil-filled pot and bringing forth a fully grown bush of oranges. While some might find his dark arts to be blasphemous, the crowds and crowns of Vienna are enthralled by it, especially Sophie (Jessica Biel), the fiancée of Crown Prince Leopold (Rufus Sewell).

Here's the real antidote: don't waste time with this movie

By C. Warner Sills and Alyson Brodsky · Thursday, Sept. 7,2006 12 a.m.

Who knows what Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor were thinking when they wrote this script. Maybe they were just eager to make their writing and directorial debut and didn't care how good the movie itself was. And I don't know what it is about Jason Statham("Snatch," "The Transporter") always choosing to star in movies with lame plots and lots of action. I don't think he's a bad actor -- I just think he makes bad decisions as to what roles to take.
