Saxophonist has no need to toot her own horn

By Katie Ingmire · Tuesday, Jan. 9,2007 9:02 p.m.

IU doctoral student Stacy Wilson's office is indistinct. Only posters of saxophonists lining the walls and a CD player on a table distinguish it from any of the music practice rooms on campus. After hearing the melodious strains of Wilson's alto saxophone emerge from this room, however, one realizes that this office is not a place of mediocrity -- it's a hub of greatness.

By Ryan Brown · Monday, Jan. 8,2007 7:38 p.m.

In a recent random survey of about 30 students living in Forest Quad, 94 percent were familiar with Vincent van Gogh's 19th-century painting "Starry Night." It has become such an important icon for art that almost everyone has seen it on a poster, in a calendar, or in other random places.

Fashion hookers and retail pimps

By Teri Rosenbaum · Sunday, Jan. 7,2007 10:04 p.m.

Lately, big-time designers have been whoring themselves out to the mass consumer market. But I mean "whoring" in a respectable way -- think less of the stiletto boot-sporting streetwalker type and more of the Chanel-sporting "lady of the night" type. But everyone knows a ho ain't complete without her pimp. In this case H&M and Target are the backers behind this slutty endeavor. And now they're rolling on 20-inch rims (big pimpin', spending G's).

Making it work: Program adjusts to increased interest

By Kevin Caldwell · Sunday, Jan. 7,2007 10:02 p.m.

Fabric surrounds Justin Stutzman. A fifth-year senior, Stutzman is one of six students in IU's individualized major program in fashion design. The runway show for his senior line isn't until March 24, but he works tirelessly, as if it's tomorrow. It's hard to succeed in the fashion industry, he says, and with a recent flood of "wannabe" designers applying to fashion schools, including IU, it's only going to get harder.

We're bringing artsy back

By Lindsey Landis · Thursday, Jan. 4,2007 9:05 p.m.

Don't resist the arts. They're not here to hurt, bore or intimidate. In fact, the arts exist solely for pleasure and to enhance the world around us. The arts are everywhere, affecting us daily -- from a Chopin prelude playing in the background of a movie to the choreography in your favorite music video. The arts date back to the beginning of time and will continue to thrive as long as people have a desire to create and express.

Do it the gay way

By Alyson Brodsy and Teri Rosenbaum · Sunday, Dec. 10,2006 11:06 p.m.

I arrived "fashionably early" to a party Thursday night. The apartment was vacuumed, decorated and blasting "Fergalicious" so loud that I could barely contain myself. I watched as the party's host put a padlock on his closet and questioned if he should wear the grey V-neck or the white one. Oh, this was no ordinary party.
