By Alyson Brodsy · Wednesday, Oct. 5,2005 12:25 a.m.

ROME -- Like the Oscar-winning "Life Is Beautiful," which tackled the Holocaust, Roberto Benigni's new film, "La Tigre e la Neve (The Tiger and the Snow)," is a comedy set against a tragic backdrop -- the war in Iraq. The movie is an anti-war statement in Benigni's preferred style -- a love story driven by the 52-year-old actor-director's exuberant and sometimes slapstick humor.

The mast of the USS Indiana stands on the west side of Memorial Stadium, centered between two 40 mm anti-aircraft guns of the variety that once graced its deck.

The art of Business

By Maria Fragnoli · Tuesday, Oct. 4,2005 1:34 a.m.

Hexagonal and circular mobiles dance above students' heads as they ascend the stairs to their classes. An impressionistic scene of an English town at twilight catches the light of a nearby window and sparkles with pink and blue flashes. Prints of Chinese door gods stand sentry over an administration office. No, this isn't the Fine Arts building, this is the Kelley School of Business' Graduate and Executive Education Center.

RPS considers scrapping McDonald's

By Carrie Ritchie · Tuesday, Oct. 4,2005 1:29 a.m.

The fate of the Read Center McDonald's is still uncertain. The Mean Plan Committee will vote on whether to renew the franchise's contract at their Oct. 14 meeting. The group, comprised of representatives from Residential Programs and Services and the Residence Halls Association, will make its decision immediately following a presentation by McDonald's corporation representatives, said junior Sam Scarpino, a vice president of RHA and the committee's chair. If the contract is renewed, however, it must have terms that would be more financially beneficial to both the University and the students, said RPS Executive Director Pat Connor.

Silenced sounds

By Elisha Sauers · Tuesday, Oct. 4,2005 1:29 a.m.

The backstage of Auer Hall looks like a mechanic's shop. Rows of soldered metal pipes, wooden freights full of tools and two-story-high scaffolding hide behind the façade of an instrument so large, it soars from the balcony to the rafters in height.

Bloomington reacts to gay ban by Vatican

By Anne Banfich · Tuesday, Oct. 4,2005 1:29 a.m.

A Vatican official last week reaffirmed the belief of the Catholic church that homosexuals cannot be appointed priests, a statement which has drawn outcry across the nation and in Bloomington. The American prelate overseeing the evaluations, Archbishop Edwin O'Brien, said earlier this month that most gay candidates for the priesthood struggle to remain celibate and the church must "stay on the safe side" by restricting their enrollment. He stressed that the church was not "hounding" gays out of the priesthood, but wants to enroll seminarians who can maintain their vows of celibacy.
