Author Discusses

By Rachel Kipp · Thursday, Feb. 1,2001 3:22 p.m.

The sound of familiar but not quite placeable classical music crackles through the speakers at Planned Television Arts, a New York-based promotion company. Minutes tick by as the clock moves closer to 2 p.m. Eastern Time. Relaxing sounds of violins and horns become the background music for an ever-growing number of men and women waiting at the other end of telephone lines. Finally, an overly happy and somewhat artificial-sounding woman delivers an introduction.

The Vagina Monologues

By Laura Ewald · Thursday, Feb. 1,2001 1:42 a.m.

Slowly, it dawned on me that nothing was more important than stopping violence toward women -- that the desecration of women indicated the failure of human beings to honor and protect life and that this failing would, if we did not correct it, be the end of us all. -- Eve Ensler, introduction to "The Vagina Monologues."

The IU Chamber Orchestra will make its first public appearance at 8 p.m. today at Auer Hall. The recital is free and open to the public. The orchestra will be conducted by violin professor Paul Biss. A chamber orchestra is different from a normal-sized orchestra. Biss said the difference lies in both the size of the orchestra and the tone of the music. "A chamber orchestra is a smaller one. Here, the music becomes more intimate," Biss said.

Roberts, a native of Bloomington, is a veteran of dance. She said she grew up dancing with her sister Julie, and eventually realized how passionate she was about the art.

Light, camera, laughs

By Jodi Miskell · Wednesday, Jan. 24,2001 8:41 p.m.

Our scene opens on chaos -- students mill around in groups, chatting about the latest films and discussing the day's schedule. Adjunct Professor John Winninger quiets the room -- albeit briefly -- with a shout. He dismisses groups of students to the care of other students: writers go upstairs to discuss sketch ideas with senior Jodie Reminder; actors join junior Carrie Owen in the props room to go over lines; and producers and editors remain to build sets.
