Abridging History

By Rachel Fullmer · Sunday, May 13,2007 6:48 p.m.

Being the most indecisive person I know, it’s no wonder I’ve changed my major four or five times within the two semesters I’ve been at IU, and may change again. Blame it on being a freshman, but after considering SPEA, journalism and various others, I recently decided just to study something I enjoy.

Officer down

By Edward Delp · Sunday, May 13,2007 6:42 p.m.

A police officer has been killed. Gunshots shattered the morning calm last Thursday in Indianapolis. What began as an attempt to apprehend a burglary suspect ended with an Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department canine named Bo losing his life in the suspect’s effort to flee.

Primates are people too

By Abby Schwimmer and Ab Schwimmer · Sunday, May 13,2007 6:41 p.m.

You’ve witnessed them chaining themselves to trees to block the path of an incoming bulldozer. You’ve seen them picketing outside KFC, protesting the “slaughter” of anything that casts a shadow. And by now, you’ve come to the conclusion that environmental advocates are completely and inexcusably insane.

Adults only

By Jacob Stewart and Jake Stewart · Sunday, May 13,2007 6:39 p.m.

Some communities have had enough. Enough of the moral bankruptcy, enough debauchery and enough violating the homey atmospheres that their communities portray.

Look mom! No dentists!

Sunday, May 13,2007 6:37 p.m.

The IU School of Dentistry has a long and celebrated history. In the early 1950s, biochemist Harry Day, with the help of Joseph Muhler and William Nebergall, developed the first toothpaste to combine the effectiveness of a matted abrasive cleaner with the protection of fluoride and didn’t taste like poison.

Roadtrip roadrules

By Abby Schwimmer and Ab Schwimmer · Friday, May 11,2007 10:54 a.m.

The proverbial “rites of spring” could not possibly measure up to what has come to be the mainstay of summer: the road trip, the quintessential component of college breaks. During the upcoming months, many of you will take part in the age-old ritual, meeting with adventures, crazy times and self-discovery a la Britney Spears in “Crossroads.”

"Lucky You": B-

By Michael Mellini and Beth Fouhy · Thursday, May 10,2007 12 a.m.

This one's probably better for an afternoon rental, but when "Shrek" and "Pirates" are sold out in a few weeks, it's a decent alternative.

Summerfest -- 2007 Summer Music Festival Preview

By Zack Teibloom and Brian Janosch and Beth Fouhy · Thursday, May 10,2007 12 a.m.

If a Wisconsin music festival is good for anything, it's good for old-school acts ripped straight from the '70s and onto the stage (probably because much of the state still operates in this era). Aside from the likes of Roger Waters (Pink Floyd fame) and Peter Frampton, you also have Heart, REO Speedwagon, Blue Oyster Cult, Buddy Guy and The Family Stone Experience -- a tribute to Sly and company.

Opportune moments aren't rare

By Adam Geller and David Weisburd · Thursday, May 10,2007 12 a.m.

It’s no secret that self-help gurus teach that people can dramatically change their lives by changing how they view the world. Nowhere is this more evident than with regard to how people view opportunities. What keeps many people from success is that they view opportunities as natural occurrences in life. In fact, they believe an average person will naturally have an “opportune time” and will have several opportunities to take advantage of. Rather then seizing opportunities, these people believe that opportunities are “presented to them.”

Who’d have guessed that a dinosaur would adapt so well to the present?

Dinosaur Jr. Beyond : A-

By Brian J. McFillen and Mike Abrams · Thursday, May 10,2007 12 a.m.

It's hardly a departure from their past albums -- but with no one else trying to cop Dinosaur Jr.'s sound, Beyond feels like a revelation (not to mention a terrific introduction to a classic band).
