IU Soul Revue to play at Bear's Place

By Angela Graves · Wednesday, Oct. 22,2003 2:12 a.m.

IU Soul Revue is set to perform two concerts at 8 and 9:15 p.m. today at Bear's Place, 1316 E. Third St., for the first time in about three years. Soul Revue is known for its interesting mix of R&B and soul music. Some members of the group sing and others play instruments. "I'd describe Soul Revue as an R&B and soul group dedicated to preserving old-school soul African- American music," said Jacob Hughes, a singer in the group. Soul Revue began in 1971 as a class to help enlighten students on the topic of African-American music. The group was first directed by professor Portia K. Maultsby. Soul Revue was the first music group within the African American Arts Institute. "Actually all of the AAAI performance groups, African American Choral Ensemble, and African American Dance Company, for example originated from Soul Revue," Hughes said.

Another season of Hoosier 'fanatics'

By Jackie Corgan · Monday, Oct. 20,2003 2:24 a.m.

It goes without saying that 90 percent of Hoosier sports fans didn't pull out the cream and crimson threads until Friday night.

By Chris Sommerfeld · Monday, Oct. 20,2003 1:20 a.m.

Wining & Dining

By Alex Pappas · Thursday, Oct. 16,2003 2:09 a.m.

Just over 30 years ago, not a single winery existed in Indiana. Today, the state is home to 25 different wineries, three of which are located in or near Bloomington. The Oliver Winery, Butler Winery and Brown County Winery are all places where students can indulge in an unusual atmosphere of wine tasting and relaxation. Students are no strangers to Oliver Winery and its engaging gardens and picnic area. Located a few miles north of campus on Ind. 37, the winery has been attracting patrons both young and old since its opening in 1972. William Oliver, IU law professor, began making wine for his own pleasure in the early 1960s. His children and their neighborhood friends would stomp grapes in his basement to begin the process. Over the past three decades, the winery has become somewhat of a tradition for students in Bloomington.
