The IU Department of Theatre and Drama's production of "The Laramie Project," a docudrama, has been reproduced throughout the nation since its New York premiere in 2000.

Flipping through fairytales

By Jamie Lusk · Thursday, March 25,2004 12:19 a.m.

Once upon a time, children's alphabet books were filled with magpies and bullfinches while adventure books starred pincushions living their lives one escapade at a time. That time was the 18th century and children's books and their place in society have come a long way since then. IU's Lilly Library proudly stores a sprawling treasure of 14,000 children's books from the 18th and 19th centuries, donated by the Ball family of Muncie.

The dumb fashionista

By Patrice Worthy and Patricia Worthy · Thursday, March 25,2004 12:17 a.m.

I have realized the fashion industry is very exclusive. The most people get to see of the industry is on television and through magazines. This limited view of the industry tends to create stereotypes concerning fashion and the people who love it. Although some of the stereotypes can be scathing, others are quite comical.

By Benjames Derrick and Benjamin Derrick · Thursday, March 25,2004 12:15 a.m.

The Thursday before students headed out of town for spring break, Bloomington experienced a shockwave of heavy metal at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater, a place usually reserved for more traditional art forms. "I wanted to give the Bloomington metal scene some recognition.

IU students take talk show stage

By Holly Johnson and Holy Johnson · Thursday, March 25,2004 12:13 a.m.

When junior Amanda Fick hit the highway for a cross-country road trip with her two roommates over spring break last week, she hardly expected to find herself rubbing elbows with a daytime talk show host or cooking chili with a reality TV star. Covering thousands of miles in 30 hours left Fick and her friends exhausted, and sunning in Santa Monica.

Dark comedy an original

By Alyson Brodsy and David Germain · Wednesday, March 24,2004 12:39 a.m.

LOS ANGELES -- Some filmmakers tiptoe around the word "remake." Others delicately suggest their film is not so much a remake as a "revisitation or reimagining," afraid of being scorned for filching someone else's ideas. The Coen brothers guffaw over such euphemistic distinctions. "Listen, this is a remake," said Joel Coen, who joined with brother Ethan to write, produce and direct "The Ladykillers," starring Tom Hanks in an update of the 1955 Alec Guinness black comedy. Leave it to the Coens to call it a remake while infusing it with so much of their own warped humor and macabrely funny imagery that it feels entirely original.

Breakfast for dinner?

By Suzanna Lindemann and Suzanne Lindemann · Sunday, March 21,2004 11:24 p.m.

Living in the fast lane of college life has its ups and downs. One of these downs is studying all night and oversleeping to find yourself rushing out the door with no breakfast. Although this is something ill-advised by nutritionists, some of us just don't have the time to enjoy a healthy breakfast. Well, it's time to reclaim the lost time and have breakfast for dinner. Instead of running to Denny's or Waffle House, try these easy recipes you can make at home.

The Target experience

By Patrice Worthy and Patricia Worthy · Thursday, March 11,2004 12:17 a.m.

I had to see what all the fuss was about. Everyone was talking about the new Target opening. I couldn't go anywhere without hearing about it -- the bus, the newsroom, campus. "Target has a Starbucks and a Pizza Hut Express. They have everything," they tell me. So yesterday, I finally did it. I made my pilgrimage to the new Target. Before I made my journey, a friend called me on her cell phone and said, "Everyone and their five kids are here."
