Saul Williams a 'sorcerer of emotion' at performance

·

Alumni Hall was packed Tuesday night as an anxious crowd awaited the arrival of spoken word artist Saul Williams. After a collaborative audience clap, Board of Directors-Diversity Performance Alfonso Lerma assured the audience members that Williams would grace the stage shortly. As others in attendance grew rowdy, junior Derrin Granger came to the stage. Granger, an active poet on campus, competed last week in the Hip Hop Congress' poetry slam competition, which won him the opportunity of opening for Williams. While waiting for the main event, the audience had watchful eyes on the nervous newcomer. Granger introduced his first piece, "Another one bites the dust," by expressing his opinion that many of his peers were choosing destructive paths leading to drugs, crime and jail time. He shared some of his writing inspiration.

Schools fight changes to gen-eds

·

The formation of uniform degree requirements has stalled amid disputes between officials at IU-Bloomington's separate degree-granting schools. Disagreements have arisen because each school believes its requirements are the most appropriate for their degree. Bloomington Faculty Council President Ted Miller told members of the council that an approval on a general education draft would be delayed because of disagreements on which requirements would fit each school's agenda. The announcement came Tuesday at the last BFC meeting of the academic year.

Taking over the reins

Indiana Daily Student Editor in Chief Rick Newkirk has had a good run. He has overseen some big news -- a restructuring of the University and a men's basketball coaching shakeup come to mind. But with the semester drawing to a close, Newkirk and his management staff are leaving us for the brave world of professional journalism -- I wish them well.
