Fancy 'Limestone', fancy food

·

Appropriately named, The Limestone Grille is a gourmet surprise hidden on the southeast side of town. Decorated with the simple theme of limestone, its expansive dinner selection has something for everyone, while adding its own flair to every item on the menu.

Final opera bittersweet

·

One of the reasons that Geatano Donizetti's opera "Lucia di Lammermoor" has been successful throughout the last 170 years -- beyond its star-making soprano role -- is that its music is perhaps the most beautiful ever composed in a bel canto opera.

Bush administration should implement new foreign policy

·

America has borne the burden for the entire free world for 57 years. During the Cold War, since America alone could counter imperial Communist ambitions, we stationed our troops all over the world and went deeply in debt paying for defense programs. But democracy itself was at stake, so it was fitting that we paid a high price.

Mural a rock in Mary's shoes

·

Chancellor Sharon Brehm's decision to allow the Benton mural to remain in Woodburn Hall 100 has received high marks. Her decision has been touted as "fair," "diplomatic," "sensitive" and "equitable." As a political decision, one that seeks to satisfy as many constituents as possible, diminish conflict and provide order, I concur with these assessments. But my respectful dissent is offered in the following allegory.

Biomass logging harms forests

·

Many Americans have long felt that congress treats our national forests badly, annually appropriating funds to continue logging, mining, livestock grazing and other destructive uses. Now, congress has taken this abuse one step further, deciding to officially treat our national forests like garbage. Provisions in both the Energy Bill and the Farm Bill would dramatically increase "biomass" logging on our national forests in the name of energy production.

Summer credit too expensive

·

I started doing the math the minute I found out that I'd finally landed a summer internship. One course credit for every 50 hours of work, for up to six credits. Beautiful. If I could get that many credits working at my dream job over the summer, it meant I was in for one heck of a senior year. The kind where you only enroll in nine credit hours the spring semester and graduate without having to take any final exams.

Hip hop festival takes over IU for week
