Help Me, Harlan!

By Harlan Cohen · Monday, Nov. 13,2006 10:44 p.m.

Dear Harlan, I have two bachelors' degrees -- one in business, one in art (painting). I "fit in" more with the art crowd than I do with the business crowd. Now I'm getting my MBA. I have tried my hardest to prove my worth: I help others study and get organized, go to meetings, maintain the class calendar, co-chair two committees and am senator of the class. Despite all of this, no one takes me seriously!

Opening Friday, 'Crucible' mirrors modern society

By Rachel Skybetter · Thursday, Nov. 9,2006 5:37 p.m.

With Halloween last week and Thanksgiving well on its way, it seems only fitting that "The Crucible," a play featuring witch hunts and pilgrims, should open this week. The IU Department of Theatre and Drama will open the iconic American play at 7:30 p.m. Friday at the Ruth N. Halls Theatre. Set in Salem, Mass., a young girl, Abigail, played by senior Jessica Rothert, fends off accusations of witchcraft by manipulating other girls to turn the blame around and "cry witch" about other members of the Puritan community. Obsessed with John Proctor, played by graduate student John Armstrong, Abigail involves him in the trials. First she accuses his wife Elizabeth, graduate student Lilia Vassileva, of witchcraft and later she points the finger at Procter. The trial is presided over by Gov. Danforth, played by guest actor and member of the Actors' Equity Association Dan Kremer. As the lies and accusations mount, the state of the town and its people slowly deteriorate.

By Maggie Conner · Wednesday, Nov. 8,2006 11:30 p.m.

Daniel Bolshoy, an Israeli, and Julie Nesrallah, Canadian-born with Lebanese roots, try to inspire others to live peacefully through their work. The duo wants to make an example of their relationship and show that peace can be achieved between dueling cultures. "It sounds strange," Bolshoy said, "but we hope to inspire those two countries (Israel and Lebanon) to get along." The Nesrallah-Bolshoy duo will perform at 8 p.m. Saturday at Bloomington's John Waldron Arts Center Auditorium. Nesrallah, a mezzo-soprano and Bolshoy, a classical guitarist, will play 27 classical songs infused with many international influences.

Bloomington's 'little' citizens display photos in new exhibit

By Kelsey Nash · Wednesday, Nov. 8,2006 11:30 p.m.

Autumn leaves exploding with color, friends' smiling faces in a pumpkin patch, the Sample Gates on a sunny day -- these are just a few examples what local children find beautiful in Bloomington. The Bloomington Photography Club and Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Central Indiana are currently hosting their third annual photography exhibit in the Education Gallery at the John Waldron Arts Center. Twenty-four photographs, brightly lit and framed by bold blues, yellows, reds and greens, portray the world from the perspective of the young participants in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. The exhibit is designed to help expose young people in the program, known as "Littles," to photography as a potential career path and as a means to capture and share the beauty of the everyday world, according to a press release.

Ben Folds performs 'functionally' sold-out show tonight

By Zack Teibloom · Wednesday, Nov. 8,2006 11:26 p.m.

It's being hailed as the "concert of the semester." A show so coveted that an eager fan bunkered up in a sleeping bag overnight in front of the IU Auditorium to get the best seats. A "functional sell out," with tickets so hot first-row seats are said to be selling for $260 a pair on eBay. Piano singer/songwriter Ben Folds comes to Bloomington "inspired" after spending October recording a full-length album to follow up the still fresh LP released two weeks ago. With the built-up excitement of dedicated fans clamoring for tickets combined with Fold's dynamic live show, the auditorium should be rocking tonight.
