Cookbook's quick snacks soothe cravings

By Kristin Lamb · Thursday, Oct. 17,2002 1:30 a.m.

Who hasn't had a craving for some unidentifiable food? In the midst of a studying break, you might find yourself staring at the refrigerator, as if expecting it to answer your hunger pains. "Midnight Snacks," a cookbook written by Michael J. Rosen and Sharon Reiss, attempts to offer a solution to your cravings. The book promises to provide "150 easy and enticing alternatives to standing by the freezer eating ice cream from the carton." While all the recipes I tried were delicious, unless you live in a grocery store, chances are you will not have the ingredients necessary to prepare the enticing dishes.

Musical hobby costs pretty penny

By Courtney Allen · Thursday, Oct. 17,2002 1:24 a.m.

The perfect harmony can cost thousands of dollars. But that moment of symphonic bliss is well worth it to may IU music majors. Even if it means taking out a loan, or mortgaging your house. Freshman music major Erica Chung summed up why her father paid $8,500 for her flute.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. -- Winona Ryder's shoplifting trial was delayed Tuesday after her lead attorney was unable to appear in court. Judge Elden J. Fox postponed the case until Wednesday after prosecutors and Ryder's lawyer met in his chambers. But attorney Shepard Kopp said in a telephone interview that he expects the trial will be delayed until next week to allow lead attorney Mark Geragos to complete an attempted murder trial. The judge also postponed until Wednesday a hearing to consider a prosecution motion to drop a felony drug charge against the actress. Officials with the District Attorney's Office have said the defense offered a sworn statement from someone who said Ryder had reason to carry the painkillers, a generic form of the prescription drug Percocet, when she was arrested.

By Terry Ord · Thursday, Oct. 17,2002 12:57 a.m.

Barbra Streisand is notorious for it. Indeed, visiting www.barbrastreisand.com is an exhausting experience because of it. But Ben Affleck, Alec Baldwin, Warren Beatty, Jon Bon Jovi, Cher, Bo Derek, Melissa Etheridge, Whoopi Goldberg, Jewel, Chuck Norris, Martin Sheen and an increasing number of other personalities also seem to enjoy playing the political game.

To the athletic department: out with Andy Frain

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, Oct. 17,2002 12:55 a.m.

Let me first begin by saying I work for the University and have done so for the past fifteen years. Five years ago, I began working part-time as an usher at the football games. In the past, those working there were considered IU employees. But this year, IU hired Andy Frain Services to supervise ushers and ticket-takers which now makes us employees of this service.

Dude, give us the Dell guy

By Evan Ross · Thursday, Oct. 17,2002 12:52 a.m.

Everything must change. This is a natural fact of life. That which is seen as a guiding light into the darkness of uncertainty must eventually be taken down and replaced. We look to these guiding lights of humanity in order to help us find our way to knowledge and away from ignorance. All across campus this week, every student and faculty member has this on his or her lips. Now, another man we all know is gone. Some of us loved him and his decidedly pro-technology speeches, others were vehemently against him and his apparently repetitive rhetoric. Still, no matter what, he touched us all. He is perhaps a cornerstone of our generation.

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, Oct. 17,2002 12:49 a.m.

The U.S. government denied bail last week for five of the six Buffalo men accused of being members of an al Qaeda sleeper cell. The sixth man, Sahim Alwan, was granted bail under extremely strict restrictions that bar him from, among other things, using cell phones or the Internet and in most circumstances even leaving his home.

Rock studies: A love letter

By Michael Tapscott · Thursday, Oct. 17,2002 12:36 a.m.

By now you are well aware that Indiana University offers a wide array of classes on rock and roll. Whatever your tastes are, you're bound to find it here - survey courses from the '50's through the '80's, courses on Captain Beefheart, the Beatles, the Beach Boys, Zappa, Hendrix, hip hop, etc. While these classes are often a fun diversion from the student's normal studies, does rock and roll really belong in the classroom? To save suspense, I'll tell you that it does.

Rapping, parachute pants and the religious channel

By Tom Whalen · Thursday, Oct. 17,2002 12:34 a.m.

It was early one Saturday morning (1 a.m., to be exact), and I was flipping through the channels trying to find something to watch on the tele. I don't know why I turned to Channel 2 -- what is Channel 2? What is shown on this Channel 2? Well, Channel 2 is the religious channel. But, for some reason, I was drawn to Channel 2. As soon as I turned it on, I looked at my friend sitting on the couch and uttered my three favorite words, "Oh my God!" Hammer was on TV! The Master of Ceremony himself, Hammer! Not only was Hammer on TV, but Hammer was on religious TV. In his parachute pants and leopard-print vest, Hammer was throwing down the word on God, Jesus and the like.

'Star Fox' steps out of his starship

By Matt Seremet and Mattew Seremet · Thursday, Oct. 17,2002 12:33 a.m.

The Star Fox crew has landed on the Gamecube in a strange but epic adventure. The emphasis has shifted from pure space fighting to a mixture of several genres, which is both a blessing and a curse. The game's story centers on a planet of dinosaurs threatened by evil warlords, and Fox McCloud must save the day. The game unfolds in a third-person perspective reminiscent of the Zelda games for the N64. "Adventures" is an interesting mix of exploration, puzzle-solving and magical combat, as well as space and racing levels.

Stagnant songwriting slows Petty

By Michael Tapscott · Thursday, Oct. 17,2002 12:30 a.m.

Tom Petty always had impeccable taste in music, designing himself after Elvis, the Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers. However, he severely missed the point of his influences, whose eyes were always on creation and progression. Essentially, the Heartbreakers have been making the same, pretty good record for 25 years now.

Sniper still eluding police

By Alyson Brodsy and Allen G. Breed · Thursday, Oct. 17,2002 12:29 a.m.

'Rules' full of sex, drugs and Dawson

By -Alec Toombs · Thursday, Oct. 17,2002 12:28 a.m.

Writer/director Roger Avary has finally eclipsed the shadow of former collaborator Quentin Tarantino with his adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis' novel "The Rules of Attraction." Avary earned an Oscar for co-authoring "Pulp Fiction" with Tarantino, and the famous auteur later produced Avary's criminally underseen and/or unfairly maligned "Killing Zoe." With "The Rules of Attraction," Avary moves beyond the realm of the noir-tinged potboiler for which he's best known and into the gray recesses of the dysfunctional post-adolescent psyche, and it's quite a thing to behold.

A journey through Bloomington's Beers

By Chad Bohm · Thursday, Oct. 17,2002 12:27 a.m.

Let's face it. This is the only time in our lives when it is going to be acceptable to drink four nights a week. So while we're doing it, let's do it with a little variety. I'm not attempting to drag you from your beloved Kilroy's (which packs in more students on a Saturday night than the stands of a home football game). What I am trying to do is let you know that there are more beers out there than Natty and Bud Light. Packed in this college town are two relatively young and local breweries.
