IU's art administration masters program offers hands-on experience in management to participating students

By Jenica Schultz · Thursday, Sept. 2,2004 12:56 a.m.

Behind the scenes of every great opera, Broadway production or museum exhibit, someone is pulling the right strings to make the event happen. Beyond the costumes, make-up and lights, someone sits calculating ticket sales and strategizing audience development and marketing techniques. Without the arts administrators who work diligently behind the scenes, none of what is seen on a stage or in a gallery could be possible.

Chipotle comes to Kirkwood

By Joetta Hinton · Thursday, Sept. 2,2004 12:50 a.m.

The Kirkwood McDonald's was once a place to enjoy a quick meal and to meet friends or family. Then the restaurant closed its doors, boarded up the windows and turned off the lights for good, leaving only the picnic tables in the front.

Rock it, Rap it, Vote or Die

By Melanie Sims · Thursday, Sept. 2,2004 12:32 a.m.

I will not "Rock the Vote" this year. And you know why? It's because "rocking" the vote is so 1990, and on top of that, I'm more of a hip-hop kind of chick. Sure, I thought -- whatever, I'll just "Rap the Vote" with Alicia Keys and Cornell West instead. But before I could get online to register, I found myself at a dead-end on the information highway. The Web site was down.

Conventional problems

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, Sept. 2,2004 12:29 a.m.

I'm trying -- honestly trying -- to watch the Republican National Convention on television without falling asleep or hanging myself, but I admit it's really difficult. It's not the politics driving me crazy; the Democratic Convention in Boston was equally grueling and annoying, but I didn't watch it on television. I only managed to make it through, I think, because I was there, on the ground with a reporter's notebook. The first week of classes has delegated me to my apartment's sofa for the Grand Old Party's get-down in New York.

I want to be Van Wilder

By Lori Geller · Thursday, Sept. 2,2004 12:23 a.m.

Monday was my official last first day of school. That's right, in eight months, I will no longer be an IU student. I will be an IU alumna -- and that's scary. I should be happy to graduate and move to the next chapter of my life, but bidding goodbye to IU will probably be the hardest thing I'll ever have to do.

Home is where the vote is

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, Sept. 2,2004 12:17 a.m.

Across America, cities are discouraging or prohibiting students from voting in their university towns. Absentee voting is student voting, they're trying to tell us. But when we spend nine months out of the year in our college town, where do we cast our vote (not to mention hang our hats)?

A 'Hero' for late summer doldrums

By -Alec Toombs · Thursday, Sept. 2,2004 12 a.m.

Throw "Rahomon" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" into a blender, hit puree and what do you get?: "Hero," the 2002 offering from Chinese filmmaker Zhang Yimou (best known for beautifully-crafted character pieces such as "Raise the Red Lantern," "Shanghai Triad" and "The Road Home").

'Anacondas' a guilty pleasure

By Amy Hamblen · Thursday, Sept. 2,2004 12 a.m.

Does "Anacondas" incorporate an intricate plot with stellar acting and dynamic special effects? No, but there are some really big snakes.

Shut up, Ben Affleck!

By Tony Sams · Thursday, Sept. 2,2004 12 a.m.

I'm going to have to ask you all to dig in deep now. Close your eyes, take a gigantic deep breath and look deep into the corners of your soul.

More dancin,' less romancin'

By Pete Schrock · Thursday, Sept. 2,2004 12 a.m.

The Master of R&B has struck again, yet true fans will be disappointed in Kelly's latest effort Happy People/U Saved Me.

Live album is musical 'remedy'

By Amanda Trost · Thursday, Sept. 2,2004 12 a.m.

Live albums are dangerous. So much money is invested into production before it can even be recorded and then there are so many variables.

Selling out will pay your grocery bills

By -Nate Bethea · Thursday, Sept. 2,2004 12 a.m.

It's always humbling when you find yourself agreeing with someone you dislike, but I recently found myself totally on the same page as Modest Mouse lead singer Isaac Brock.

A 'Girl' worth fighting for

By John Barnett · Thursday, Sept. 2,2004 12 a.m.

The plot is perfunctory, when the about-to-graduate high school senior, desperate for sex, magically happens upon the woman of his dreams.

Superstupid: Baby Geniuses 2

By -Jenny Kobiela · Thursday, Sept. 2,2004 12 a.m.

Babies are cute -- no doubt about it. But when they become the sugary-sweet, smarty-pants protagonists of a plotless movie, that's when I draw the line. I have to admit, I've never seen the original "Baby Geniuses."
