Living in the year of Cézanne

By Adrienne Dye and Alyson Brodsy · Monday, Sept. 18,2006 10:57 p.m.

AIX-EN-PROVENCE, France -- Most museums take the anniversary of an artist's death as a chance to pull out a handful of his or her work stuck in the vaults and air them out for a few weeks. Aix-en-Provence artist Paul Cézanne's ville maternelle, or birthplace, and the setting of his most famous paintings, is doing more than just a bit of airing out for the 100th anniversary of his death.

Pepperoni and condoms

Monday, Sept. 18,2006 10:26 p.m.

There are a couple of things about Bloomington's pizza industry that we just don't understand. Don't get us wrong; We're not complaining about what this town has to offer. We just want to address a few peculiarities. First on our list: Hey, Pizza Express, what's the link between condoms and pizza? Our only possible explanation is that the condoms are used as gloves when they run out. Perhaps soaring latex prices forced Pizza Express to cut costs and the part of the glove that covers the palm. The mental image of a pizza-maker with five condoms on his or her fingers spreading cheese and sauce around does not necessarily make us crave pizza, but ignorance is bliss, right?

In May the IU Student Foundation passed the "Student Coaching Initiative," which bans nonstudent coaches from the pits on Little 500 race day. IUSF made the decision without consulting alumni coaches, who were later notified via a letter. In a recent forum designed to gauge riders' response to the new ruling, the nearly 60 riders present unanimously opposed the decision. Yet despite the widespread resistance, IUSF leaders have agreed that the rule will be implemented for this year's race.
