'Frankenstein' to be brought alive at pub

By Meghan Lucas · Sunday, Oct. 30,2005 11:04 p.m.

The days of trick-or-treating might have come and gone for most IU students, but this Halloween season, there's more than scantily clad nurses and candy corn in Bloomington. Out of the eerie shadows of the Irish Lion comes a play of monstrous proportions, filled with murder, intrigue, rage and maybe even a misunderstood creature or two. "Mary Shelley's Frankenstein," performed by the Monroe County Civic Theater, takes the stage at 8 p.m. tonight and Tuesday at the Irish Lion. Adapted from Mary Shelley's classic novel, the script of "Frankenstein" is a close adaptation of the literary work. The play closely follows the novel's plotline, veering from the book only in instances where director and playwright Russell McGeesaid he feels the casting and dramatic action need a jolt.

Rocky Horror comes to Bloomington

By Jamie Ward · Sunday, Oct. 30,2005 11:01 p.m.

Halloween arrived early and hundreds lost their "virginity" Saturday night at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater's screening of the 1970s cult classic "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Not having appeared on the big screen in Bloomington in many years, the film's return offered patrons the chance to don their costumes for Halloween while also honoring the traditions of "Rocky Horror" screenings. The event also was a fund-raiser for event sponsor Cardinal Stage Company, a new Bloomington theater group. The group will make its stage debut in January with four performances of Thornton Wilder's classic play, "Our Town," also to be performed at the Buskirk-Chumley. Randy White, a Bloomington resident originally from Canada, acts as the producing artistic director of the company. Having successfully launched a professional theater group in Canada 15 years ago that still continues today, White wants exactly that in Bloomington.

Indiana will soon become 48th state to adopt DST

By Jamie Ward · Friday, Oct. 28,2005 1:17 a.m.

The times are not a-changin' in Indiana. In the future, Oct. 30, 2005, might be remembered in the state's history as the day the time anomaly ended. Sunday officially marks the end of Hoosier resistance to the observance of daylight-saving time, as states in the Eastern Time zone will move their clocks back an hour, thus aligning themselves with Indiana. When 47 states move their clocks ahead in April, Indiana will join the DST world and "spring ahead" with the rest of the country.

He also thinks a well-rowed race could have a huge impact on the sprint season.

After double OT, Hoosiers tie Boilers

By Chris Sauer · Friday, Oct. 28,2005 12:53 a.m.

If a tie is like kissing your sister, then Thursday's game must have felt like a full-out make out session. After 110 minutes of soccer, the IU women's soccer team tied arch rival Purdue 1-1 in a game that featured many scoring chances. It wasn't all negative for the Hoosiers, who with the tie officially qualified for the Big Ten tournament. So maybe it's more like a peck on the cheek.
