Perils of a foreign language

By Emily Cooper · Sunday, May 23,2004 9:03 p.m.

At the end of the summer, I am graduating. I will be spending my summer looking for jobs, deciding where I want to live and lifting my roommate's cats off of my window blinds, from which they love to dangle. In the meantime, I sit in class each morning learning the French word for toilet. That's right. In just a few months I will be entering the real world, one in which the IU general education requirement decision makers feel that an extensive irrelevant foreign vocabulary will be necessary.

Life in 'Pelosigrad'

By Brian Adkins · Sunday, May 23,2004 9:02 p.m.

In a recent news conference, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Ca., asked, "When are people going to face the reality?" The "reality" she is referring to is her belief that President Bush's economic and foreign policies have failed. But when you look at the facts, as Democrats so seldom do, you see that the "reality" Pelosi suggests is not reality at all, but a made up fantasyland where you will find most liberal minds.

My old-age cure

By Mark Cary · Sunday, May 23,2004 9:01 p.m.

It's tough getting old. I remember a few years ago, when I restarted my college career, I was waiting for a class to start and I could not help overhearing a conversation two guys were having in the back of the room. They were discussing my beloved Indiana Pacers' prospects in the NBA Finals. One of them said to the other, "They won't win, they're too old." At that instant I wanted to turn around and say to them, "Listen, punks, the Pacers are just fine, and they will win the championship!" I managed to restrain myself, however.

Behold! The power of the producer

By -Brandon Tucker · Thursday, May 20,2004 12 a.m.

The era of the "producer" is upon us, where a good hip-hop CD is nothing without a cut from Kanye West, Timbaland, Just Blaze, or of course, Rap's Top 40 golden boy: Lil' Jon.

By Benjames Derrick and Benjamin Derrick · Thursday, May 20,2004 12 a.m.

There is a time and place for all kinds of music. I don't mean to degrade commercial rock 'n' roll along the lines of Hoobastank and New Found Glory, but if you've grown tired and find it lame, then The End of Heartache could be just the remedy.

Love makes people crazy," claims Quincy Watson (Jamie Foxx) in "Breakin' All the Rules." That may be true, but the characters in this movie act as crazy as people in almost any run-of-the-mill romantic comedy ever created.

BEYOND SKIN DEEP

By C. Warner Sills and Jeff Douglas · Thursday, May 20,2004 12 a.m.

'Troy' offers scintillating swords, sandals

By -Alec Toombs · Thursday, May 20,2004 12 a.m.

Following on the sandaled heels of Ridley Scott's "Gladiator" (a film that single-handedly resurrected the seemingly deceased swashbuckler sub-genre -- see "The Lord of the Rings," "Pirates of the Caribbean" and the upcoming "King Arthur" for further examples), comes "Troy," director Wolfgang Peterson's reinterpretation of Homer's timeless, epic poem, "The Iliad."
