'It's a privilege to pee' at Wells-Metz Theatre

By Rachel Skybetter · Thursday, Oct. 19,2006 11:17 p.m.

Move over, "Cats," watch out, "West Side Story." A different kind of musical is taking over. IU Department of Theatre and Drama's "Urinetown: The Musical" opens at 7:30 p.m. Friday at the Wells-Metz Theatre. Based on the premise that "it's a privilege to pee," this production strays from the warmth and slight corniness found in traditional musicals.

Betsy Uschkrat, Jacobs School of Music graduate student and reigning Miss Indiana, will lead the school's production of Jules Massenet's classic opera "Manon" Friday, playing the character bearing the opera's name.

Online Only: Madonna and child

By Alyson Brodsy and Ayesha Awan · Thursday, Oct. 19,2006 9:13 p.m.

My first instinct upon hearing of Madonna's decision to adopt a child from Malawi was probably the same as many others': I assumed it was a publicity stunt, a sham, an effort to look holier than thou, a lame attempt at trying be like Angelina Jolie. My curiosity got the better of me, however, and I ended up clicking on a story about the controversial adoption on the Yahoo.com homepage.

Regarding "At least my T-shirt can say 'nuclear,'" by Teri Rosenbaum (Oct. 16): I've always been a fan of the Indiana Daily Student, even when they slip up every once in awhile.

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, Oct. 19,2006 11:26 a.m.

In response to the October 13th's B.Y.O.B article ("B.Y.O.B." by Ariel Ivas), I think on-campus drinking is a great idea.
