ACTION: These guys see a whole lot of it

By Chris Wisner, Michael Mellini and John Barnett and Jessica Anderson · Thursday, June 28,2007 12 a.m.

In honor of the release of "Live Free or Die Hard," WEEKEND asked: Who's the best action star? Resident movie buffs John Barnett, Michael Mellini and Chris Wisner offer their Top 5. We know we left off big names like Schwarzenegger and Stallone, but we were seeking quality over quantity (for films and muscle). We also know that Ford vs. Willis is a really tough call for top billing. But we love Bruce and we love lists, so we gave you both. If you can do better, tell us at weekend@idsnews.com.

Don't believe the Jolie Oscar hype

'A Mighty Heart" (PG-13)Grade: B-

By Chris Wisner and Emily Pickett · Thursday, June 28,2007 12 a.m.

As the political thriller it sets out to be, "A Mighty Heart" works OK at best. I've grown weary of these films that find it necessary to photograph the Middle East with shaky, pseudo-documentarian camerawork. Here it only makes the viewing more complicated and a chore to keep up with.

Ivy Tech enrolls more students for summer

By Erin Riley · Wednesday, June 27,2007 8:52 p.m.

Summer enrollment has increased by 10.9 percent at Bloomington’s Ivy Tech Community College in the last year, according to the college’s enrollment report. IU and Ivy Tech signed an agreement earlier this month that allows more credits to transfer between the two colleges, which could be the cause of Ivy Tech’s higher enrollment.

Informatics dean to retire

By Kristi Oloffson · Wednesday, June 27,2007 8:50 p.m.

Surrounded by newly vacant bookshelves, a grandfather-like figure sits in front of a large, flashy sign with red lights counting down from eight days, 13 hours, 33 minutes and 8.7 seconds. The 66-year-old man smiles at the makeshift calendar keeping track of the number of days until July 1 – the day he will leave his position as dean of the IU School of Informatics.

Culture for kids

By Kaitlin Shawgo and Kailtin Shawgo · Wednesday, June 27,2007 8:48 p.m.

A group of about 15 kids surrounded recent 2007 IU graduate Pearl Kim on Tuesday afternoon during a Culture Camp workshop at the Asian Culture Center. Hands shot up when Kim, a student coordinator, asked how many main languages China has. Excited kids shouted, “One! Two!” An eager girl in pigtails and a pink dress had the correct answer: two.

Groups students welcomed to ’07 program

By Tia Walker · Wednesday, June 27,2007 8:04 p.m.

Groups student and incoming freshman Tanei Livingston was a little nervous when she arrived at Teter Quad. She recalled her move-in day to the Groups program as being “hectic and exciting,” with lots of jam-packed elevators and people coming and going.

No student input for the Union Board Executive Director

Wednesday, June 27,2007 7:39 p.m.

Union Board is known around campus predominately as a programming organization, but it also functions as the governing body of the Indiana Memorial Union. At least, it did until now. As of July 1, the IU vice chancellor for auxiliary services and programs, Bruce Jacobs, will take over as the new executive director of the IMU – a change in leadership that was made without input from any Union Board student director.

Who can we trustee?

Wednesday, June 27,2007 7:37 p.m.

This weekend the votes will officially be tallied and the IU alumni will decide that either incumbent Sue Talbot has proven she has the stewardship, good sense and appropriate priorities to oversee the direction of a world-class research institution; or that one of the five candidates vying for her seat on the board of trustees would be better suited to address the challenges facing the University.

Collins students not homogenous nor predictable

Wednesday, June 27,2007 7:35 p.m.

In “iBigotry” (June 21), you called the residents of Collins “as homogenous and predictable as the next dorm.” As a former resident I feel obligated to stick up for them. In my three semesters at Collins, not once did I smell puked-up booze in the hallways.

Miller: Best pick for financial responsibility

By Amanda Lowry · Wednesday, June 27,2007 7:34 p.m.

Finances are the most central and important matter to the policies the board of trustees deals with, and for this reason the elected trustee needs to have a firm grasp on the University’s economics. For this reason, I endorse candidate Steve Miller.

Woodhouse: Trustee material

By Erich Reinhard · Wednesday, June 27,2007 7:32 p.m.

Excellence may have a price, but trustee-hopeful Allen Woodhouse doesn’t need to be reminded. Placing direct action ahead of recycled bureaucracy, Woodhouse emphasizes the University’s future without slighting its present and is thus the election’s most progressive and creative candidate.

Eskew: Earnest and progressive

By Anna Piontek · Wednesday, June 27,2007 7:31 p.m.

I’m not a particularly big fan of oligarchic decision-making bodies. I am especially not a fan of these bodies if the majority of members are appointed by Gov. Mitch Daniels. Such is the structure of IU’s board of trustees. But this election is the IU alumni’s annual stab at democracy: we can vote for one new trustee.
