Live From Bloomington bands present Club Night for charity

By Lindsey Alexander · Friday, April 6,2007 12 a.m.

Charity is often considered to be a rewarding experience, but who knew that someone could see 19 bands perform just for donating two canned goods and $3? The Union Board’s 21st annual Club Night, part of Live From Bloomington’s campaign to support local bands and the Hoosier Hills Food Bank, featured 19 bands at Max’s Place, Blue Bird, Uncle Festers and Jake’s on Thursday. A donation of $5 or a combination of $3 and two canned goods got patrons into all participating venues for the night.

Sarah ‘Moe’ shows her ‘many faces’

By Lindsey Landis · Friday, April 6,2007 12 a.m.

Renee’s nasty attitude was finally called out by Tyra herself. The girls were asked to change their names to dreadful things like “Whitelle” and “Wholahay.” Jael took a dive off the deep end after harassing superstar 50 Cent. God, I love this show. The biggest shocker of Wednesday night’s episode of “America’s Next Top Model,” however, was probably the loss of cute, pixieish Sarah. I was expecting Renee, Whitney or even Jael to get the boot. I had a chat with Sarah to ask why she thought she was the latest girl eliminated, to ask her a few lingering questions from previous episodes and to see what she is up to now. The perky girl definitely isn’t too worried about her future. Before the show, Sarah already had a contract with Elite Modeling in Chicago. She works as a fashion and advertising photographer, and her recent undertaking is a new record label. She told me to check out her MySpace page (www.myspace.com/sarahvonderhaar) and listen to some of the Sheryl Crow-esque songs that were inspired by her experiences on the show, and I have to say that this girl has a future. I am not sure what field it will be in, but she is going ... somewhere.

LOS ANGELES – Film director Bob Clark, best known for the holiday classic “A Christmas Story,” was killed with his son Wednesday in a head-on crash with a vehicle that a drunken driver steered into the wrong lane, police and the filmmaker’s assistant said. Clark, 67, and son Ariel Hanrath-Clark, 22, were killed in the accident in Pacific Palisades, said Lyne Leavy, Clark’s personal assistant. The two men were in an Infiniti that collided head-on with a GMC Yukon around 2:30 a.m. PDT, said Lt. Paul Vernon, a police spokesman. The driver of the other vehicle, Hector Velazquez-Nava, 24, of Los Angeles and his passenger, described as a 29-year-old woman, were taken to UCLA Medical Center with minor injuries.

Student activists demonstrate diversity on canvas, posters

By Lindsey Landis · Thursday, April 5,2007 12 a.m.

The bulletin boards of libraries and various campus offices. The walls of the Indiana Memorial Union Gallery. The streets of downtown Bloomington. These are all highly visible areas in the community, and this summer they will all be lined with works of art and posters promoting diversity. The initiative is intended to target participants in an upcoming Boy Scouts of America conference.

Lt. B. F. Pinkerton, U.S.N., played by Adam Diegel and Cio-Cio San (Madama Butterfly) played by Jing Zhang, perform during the dress rehearsal for Madama Butterfly Tuesday evening at the MAC.

A Tragedy takes Flight

By Eric Anderson · Thursday, April 5,2007 12 a.m.

Operas are not spontaneously created. They do not appear out of thin air. They require time and effort from many dozens, if not hundreds, of people. Then, like a butterfly breaking from its cocoon, the final theatrical product bursts onto the stage, wings spread and ready for flight. Not least among the innumerable individuals involved in bringing a piece of opera to fruition is the director, the one responsible for the dramatic vision that carries the work from overture to final curtain. For this season’s production of “Madama Butterfly,” the beloved opera by Giacomo Puccini, the IU Jacobs School of Music invited guest artist Nick Muni to play the important role of director. Recently appointed to the faculty of the Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, Muni has been rehearsing with the cast of “Butterfly” since March.

Hoagy fans create new programs

By Shannon Dahmer · Thursday, April 5,2007 12 a.m.

If Justin Timberlake had a 1920s counterpart at IU, Hoagy Carmichael would be it. “It’s like if Justin Timberlake was among you and he was one of the students and was going to your classes and eating in the cafeteria,” said Daniel Reed, director of the The IU Archives of Traditional Music and an assistant professor of ethnomusicology. The Archives of Traditional Music, as part of a monthly lecture series, is holding a rock ‘n’ roll storytelling of Hoagy Carmichael’s life this Friday. It will take place from noon to 1 p.m. in the Hoagy Carmichael Room, Morrison Hall 006, which holds memorabilia from his life and career.

Ragazzi offers arts, food in intimate atmosphere

By Amanda Dorman · Tuesday, April 3,2007 12 a.m.

Some people say the art on a person’s wall tells a lot about the character of that person. If this is true, then restaurant owner Tamyra d’Ippolito is eclectic, creative and unique. When d’Ippolito came to Bloomington from New York, she and her husband opened the quaint Italian restaurant Ragazzi Arte Cafe, 212 S. Rogers St., in November 2005. For d’Ippolito, Ragazzi has become not only a place to serve her favorite foods, including an iced lemon and chocolate cake, but a place to display and sell her favorite art. Nearly every inch of the restaurant’s walls are covered with the works of local artists, students and d’Ippolito’s friends.

Singing Hoosiers hold spring concert

By Eric Anderson · Tuesday, April 3,2007 12 a.m.

Saturday night was an unexpected step-touch down memory lane, as the IU Singing Hoosiers, under the direction of Michael Schwartzkopf, presented their 57th annual Spring Concert. From the first notes of “Another Openin’, Another Show,” belted in classic Broadway-style by sophomore Jami Leonard, to the final chord of “Lazy River,” the concert was a celebration of American popular song by the University’s most traveled musical ensemble.

Art is nothing but meaningless crap!

By Ryan Brown · Tuesday, April 3,2007 12 a.m.

As this week begins, I am hoping you will all be regaling each other with great stories of your April Fools’ Day pranks. With that in mind, I have my own to tell you. This past Sunday afternoon, I wrote a false Facebook message to my friend Whitney, in which I confessed my romantic feelings for her. I received a standard rejection reply of, “Well, there’s just a lot on my mind lately, so I can’t really devote much time to dating right now. But it isn’t anything wrong with you, it’s me.”
