Dorm room searches might result in prizes

Starting Monday, Residential Programs and Services directors, students and Residence Halls Association members will inspect dorm rooms all over campus. But there's no need to panic: if they're coming to your room, you already know it.

Socko whips up Bluebird crowd

·

Megaman never stopped dancing, and twister wouldn't leave the club. Despite being eliminated early from the costume contest, the pair made up for what was lacking in fashion sense with enthusiasm. They danced, jumped and screamed in support of ska band Johnny Socko, a local favorite. Socko, who played a great show Halloween night at the Bluebird, was celebrating its 10th anniversary as a band.

Union Board stages musical at Buskirk-Chumley

·

Last year, the Union Board Fine Arts committee brought the student production of "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" to the Bloomington community. Based on this production's success, the committee decided to try again this semester, with a staging of the musical "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas."

A high price for concert variety

·

It wasn't long ago that college students who shelled out hard cash to go to school could at least look forward to cheap campus concerts that wouldn't make them choose between seeing their favorite band and buying groceries for the week. Legend has it these concerts would have set a student back no more than $10 or $15.

Center helps rural communities in fight against AIDS

·

Much of the attention on AIDS and HIV has been focused on urban areas and inner cities in the past few years, while small towns and rural areas receive little attention on sexually transmitted disease prevention, or often deny that a problem with AIDS exists in their community.

Volleyball Hoosiers face road woes

·

Friendly confines anywhere in the Big Ten? Hardly. Well, sometimes. Sometimes far from it. The women's volleyball team has yet to find any gymnasium, hall or arena overly cordial, not even their home turf -- University Gym.

The Rock gets hit hard

·

The most anticipated match on Monday Night Raw, held in Boston, was a steel-cage faceoff between Stone Cold Steve Austin and Rikishi. Austin handed Rikishi the whooping he promised to all his fans. After repeatedly hitting Rikishi with the door to the cage, he tossed him side to side, flinging him into the cage. Finally, Austin gave him his patented "Stone Cold Stunner" and then captured the victory.

Life on club rowing team expensive, but 'worth it'

·

When George Werres was a freshman, someone pulled him aside and said, "Hey, you're tall. Want to try rowing?" Now a sophomore, Werres wakes up every morning at 5:30 to meet the rest of the Crew Club at the Fine Arts Plaza by 6, and he gets back from crew practice at 8:30. He pays his dues for this privilege -- $100 a semester, plus race fees, and like all crew members, he buys his own equipment.

Indy last resort for art films

·

After the abrupt closing of Von Lee Theatre, the Kerasotes Theatres chain now forces moviegoers to go to Showplace East 11 to see arty independent films. Although there's a section in the theater's newspaper ad that is referred to as Showplace East Art, it's unclear just exactly how many screens in the theater are actually devoted to showing independent films each week. To make the matter even worse, it's unlikely you'll ever see more than one foreign language film playing there.

Key West Grille is one of the newest dining options downtown. It caters especially to seafood lovers, but also features steak and chicken, as well as a peaceful atmosphere that would appeal to anyone. The prices are a bit steep, but not out of line with the other dining options in the area.

Candidates pander to the people

·

Live from New York, it's Saturday night! With your guest host Aaaaaaybraham Lincolnnnnnn! Or, how about that Thomas Jefferson on the "Tonight Show with Jay Leno?" When he started talking about how the United States should be an agrarian society, I nearly fell out of my chair laughing.
