Ivanhoe’s a snooze, so read about some zoos

By Lindsey Landis · Sunday, May 13,2007 8:52 p.m.

Unless you are absolutely starving for a book to save your sanity and it is the only one you can find, don’t read “Ivanhoe.” I would consider myself to be pretty high on the boredom scale, but I couldn’t even get through chapter three. The two main characters, who shall remain nameless because I can’t remember their consequence to the story, hadn’t even finished their leisurely stroll through the forest by the end of the third chapter.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
