The gift of music

Though Jacobs School of Music student Georgina Joshi was killed in a plane crash last April, her parents hope her memory will live on through a donation to the music school. Louise Addicot and Yatish Joshi of South Bend made a special trip to Hamburg, Germany, in December to select a Steinway concert grand piano in memory of Georgina.

The art of genitalia: How gender makes you an artist

·

In her article "Unfathomable, repellent, delightful" in The Guardian, Iwona Blazwick argues that despite controversy, awards in the arts should be divided into categories distinctly for men and women.

Fully Exposed

A tall, slender woman leans forward and firmly grasps the metal attachment on the canister of a vacuum cleaner with both hands. She places the attachment underneath a small, rectangular table, sucking up whatever dust remains on the gleaming tile floor. This description could conjure up images of a Dirt Devil advertisement if it were not for one element: Besides a pair of high heels and a garter belt to hold up her sheer stockings, the woman is entirely nude.
