Fast food for finals

By Suzanne Lindemann · Tuesday, Dec. 9,2003 12:15 a.m.

Thanksgiving break has come and gone, and that means finals week is fast approaching. Food and meal preparation is probably the last thing on a studying student's mind.

Just before 6 p.m. Saturday, the IU Auditorium was buzzing with anticipation to see Bill Cosby perform. The house was nearly full; however, it did not sell out. A probable cause for this, which even Cosby mentioned, was the basketball game taking place at the same time. People of all ages, from small children to seniors, came to see the legendary comedian of "The Cosby Show," "I Spy" and "Fat Albert."

Lingerie: function or show?

By Patrice Worthy and Patricia Worthy · Friday, Dec. 5,2003 12:13 a.m.

Women don't wear underwear -- they wear lingerie, I read in The New York Times over Thanksgiving break. The phrase brought on a cringe, but it also made me smile. The word "lingerie" has a tendency to do that sometimes. Sometimes undergarments can make me feel very proud to be a woman.

LOS ANGELES -- "Battlestar Galactica" is returning as a four-hour miniseries, backed by hype befitting a science fiction classic in the same galaxy as "Star Wars" or "Star Trek." Never mind that this classic was a campy space opera that lasted just one season.

Intense competition, rapid turnover rate, high demand and the need for new talent often cause a career in the world of fashion to be less promising than one might believe it to be.

Although Indiana is not considered the nation's fashion metropolis, IU supplies students with many of the tools and experiences an aspiring fashion merchandising student can anticipate in his or her career paths.
