The soft bigotry of low expectations

·

It’s the spring of 1964, and a school’s student body is given a standardized intelligence test: those expected to be high achievers are presented as such to their instructors. By fall, the selected first graders have increased their I.Q. by an average of 27.4 points, compared to the 12 points achieved by their peers. The test was an accurate predictor of success, no? No.

1970s rock star Todd Rundgren to perform, teach at IU

Music professor Glenn Gass is not surprised by the number of blank stares he receives from his students when he announces that Todd Rundgren will be lecturing during class, even though Rundgren is considered one of 1970s most successful rock stars.

It seems to me that somewhere between grabbing a frappuccino and walking to class, I have strolled right into fall.

The beat goes on at Tracks

·

Nag Champa incense burns and the sound of Robert Thompson’s rock album resonates through the record store. A juxtaposition of IU gear and vinyl records line the walls of the now 22-year-old store, aptly named Tracks.
