Pretty is Wreckers only strength

By K. A. MacDonald · Wednesday, June 7,2006 5:27 p.m.

Stand Tall, Look Pretty, the debut album from the Wreckers, is so unremarkable that I didn't realize that I knew the first song, having heard it on the radio a number of times, and most of the words to the song until I caught myself singing along.

By Matt Dollinger and Aaron Beard · Tuesday, June 6,2006 9:46 a.m.

IU star wide receiver James Hardy appeared in Allen County Court today to set up his August 23 trial, where he will face hearings on his two class A misdemeanor crimes. The two charges against Hardy stem from a May 16 incident involving his girlfriend, Kyra Nolan, and their infant son. Hardy is being charged with domestic battery and interfering with the reporting of a crime. The pretrial hearings are set for June 13 and July 17. Hardy must be present for both hearings. In the first pretrial hearing, Hardy and his defense attorney Randy Hammond will attempt to lift the no-contact order currently restricting contact between Hardy and Nolan. "We filed a motion asking the court to modify Mr. Hardy's pre-trial release," Hammond said. "We are requesting the court to eliminate the no-contact order."

Local Artists celebrate 'father of bluegrass' Saturday

By Nick Mills and Nicholas Mills · Sunday, June 4,2006 11:08 p.m.

Jim Richter wants to bring support back to bluegrass music in Bloomington. Richter is organizing a workshop and concert in honor of former Bloomington-area patron Bill Monroe, widely known as "the father of bluegrass." Monroe is revered for having the biggest influence in the creation and popularization of bluegrass. Monroe's popularization of bluegrass began in 1939 with the first edition of the "Blue Grass Boys." The band coined the term "bluegrass," which was a reference to Kentucky where Monroe was born.

Risking life and limb

By David A. Nosko · Sunday, June 4,2006 11:07 p.m.

Very few professions ask community members to risk their life for the greater community good. For local police officers and firefighters, risking life and limb is part of their job description and their daily sacrifice is often unnoticed until the community is asked to mourn the loss of a peace officer's life.

IU to pay state for excess aid

By Julie Mahomed · Sunday, June 4,2006 11:06 p.m.

The implementation of the PeopleSoft student information software system at the start of the 2004-2005 academic year resulted in the distribution of approximately $274,000 in excess financial aid, according to an audit report. An internal financial aid program written by the University and run on the PeopleSoft system did not recognize situations in which the awarded aid should have been reduced, IU Director of Media Relations Larry MacIntyre said in an e-mail. The excess awards resulted from students receiving too much in federal student loans. IU returned the excess money although students did not have to repay the University. The noncompliance with federal regulations was found during an annual audit, said Paul Joyce, deputy state examiner for the Indiana State Board of Accounts.
