Hire me, Larry

We’re often told that every person has a role to fulfill in this world. Certainly this is true considering that Paris Hilton is, well, alive.

Don’t complicate me

·

Does it sometimes seem like professors are going out of their way to confuse their students, rather than enlighten them? Have you sat, dumb-founded, while an instructor found a new way to “complicate” an economic model, a Dickens novel or a philosophical concept by introducing seemingly off-topic and unrelated material? Well, it turns out students aren’t the only ones having trouble cutting through the obscurity of their professors’ lectures.

Bleating the blues

First things first: The Puppini Sisters are a vocal trio that dresses up in burlesque outfits to sing ironic pop covers (Beyonce’s “Crazy In Love”), a few originals (“Jilted”) and nearly-forgotten relics of popular music (Duke Ellington’s “It Don’t Mean A Thing If It Ain’t Got That Swing”) in the style of World War II-era vocal groups

IU admission standards increase

Local artists show what democracy means to them

·

Local graffiti artist Julian Hensarling said for simply writing on a wall, many of his fellow graffiti artists have spent years in jail – a punishment, he believes, that does not fit the crime. Hensarling and four other local graffiti artists prepared pieces for “Writing on the Wall,” an exhibit exploring the intersection of graffiti and democracy on display at the School of Fine Arts Gallery. It’s a change of pace for artists who are usually prosecuted for vandalism.

Hoosiers dine in Spartan hell

EAST LANSING, Mich. – At the end of IU’s 103-74 loss to Michigan State, Spartan guard Drew Neitzel kissed the “S” in the middle of the court – a tradition for graduating seniors at the Breslin Center on Senior Day. Meanwhile, the Hoosiers likely kissed their Big Ten title hopes goodbye.
