Ugly Bettys

·

I've always been intrigued by America's fascination with beauty. Never mind that no two individuals have similar conceptions of what makes someone attractive -- we've gotten the art of "being pretty" down to a science. Fashion magazines are proof of that. Makeup, shaving kits and hair products are proof of that. With all this, we're supposed to find time to be a perfect student, perfect wife, perfect mother.

My campus too

·

Keep your arms inside the bus. Never touch a hot stove. Always peek over the fence before jumping over. The Socratic method be damned, it's the instinct for self-preservation that teaches children, adults and whole communities not to repeat the same mistakes twice. Unfortunately, some people learn too slowly and some people never learn at all. Cue the "nanny state."

Tiny dancers

·

Simon Brooks won't soon forget the first time he performed on stage at the Musical Arts Center. The second-grader played a mouse in the IU Ballet Theater's production of the "Nutcracker," and he's not too shy to admit his steps didn't go quite as planned.

Trading iPods for AK-47s

·

An iPod is not a conventional safety device. But for Fearless Charities, a new group comprised of IU students and alumni, Apple's MP3 player can make the difference between a shooting and a dance-off on the streets of Somalia.
