IU Art Museum curator leads 'noon talk' on influential engraver

By Kyle Meehan · Monday, Jan. 22,2007 10:41 p.m.

Stanley William Hayter's work and influence is the subject of an upcoming "noon talk" from 12:15 p.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday in the IU Art Museum. Though trained as a chemist, Hayter studied engraving under Joseph Hecht in the early 20th century. Many feel that his artwork and the studio he founded revitalized what was then considered an archaic practice, influencing generations of artists.

Forget Paxil, try fashion

By Teri Rosenbaum · Sunday, Jan. 21,2007 10:42 p.m.

This semester, the OneStart gods have graced me with 9:30 a.m. classes four days a week, and it is seriously starting to affect my fashion sense. Everyone knows that my earliest wake-up time is 10 a.m. -- if that's when Ellen DeGeneres starts shaking her ass, that's when I do, too (one exception: early-morning sex). Without Ellen, I am left stumbling around my room, in the dark, throwing stylistic caution to the wind. (It's true: one morning I left wearing those flower-shaped pasties Lil' Kim once wore to an awards show. Ouch.)

Rethinking Tattoos

By Michelle Manchir · Wednesday, Jan. 17,2007 11 p.m.

I'd never given body art much thought. It seemed like a dangerous, rigid culture, in which I -- a Catholic-schooled, perpetually optimistic small-town girl -- had no place. As a little girl, when media formed my opinions on essentially everything, I took in the large, inked convicts I saw on "Cops" with wonder and fear. Later, with years of life experience and a media-literate mind, I viewed the "tatted" as interesting, artsy folk with whom I had little in common.

By Ryan Gregg · Wednesday, Jan. 17,2007 10:34 p.m.

The gift of music

Wednesday, Jan. 17,2007 12:27 a.m.

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.
