The country catwalk

Whoever said country fashion isn’t stylish never witnessed the chic, bold style of artists such as Shania Twain, the Dixie Chicks and Toby Keith.

Don't be fooled by the political premise of the new film – Harold and Kumar are still the same old guys.

Real Talk with Harold and Kumar

By Caleb Jackson-Boys · Tuesday, April 22,2008 6:10 p.m.

One of this year’s most eagerly awaited movies is a sequel to one of the most popular comedies of the decade. And as John Cho put it, the “political premise is a way to make fart and poo jokes funnier.” Cho and Kal Penn co-star in the upcoming film Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay, set to release nationwide in theaters this Friday, April 25. WEEKEND chats with the stars of Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay and gets exclusive details.

Chase chilled with country music legend T.G. Sheppard before he played the Little Nashville Opry.

A night in Nashville

By Chase Cooper · Tuesday, April 22,2008 3:59 p.m.

Weekend reporter, Chase Cooper takes a look at the music scene in Nashville, Ind. I could’ve been offended. I’ve written opinion columns for the IDS since September, and I’ve worked full-time in the newsroom since January. But WEEKEND magazine never asked me, an outspoken Republican, to write anything for them until they wanted to cover “hillbilly” activities in Brown County. The IDS should feel lucky they have at least one Red State Redneck to do their dirty work for them. But rather than taking offense at this crass stereotyping, I leapt at the opportunity to spend an evening listening and dancing to music that God’s own angels couldn’t beat. I just couldn’t understand why nobody else wanted the assignment. What were they afraid of, the Boot Scootin’ Boogie Man?

More than 50 years ago, Frank and Daisy Beck returned to IU, their alma mater, with the goal of fulfilling one of the campus’ greatest needs: a small chapel. The IU Chapel, Frank Beck’s initial name for the building, would sit nestled between the family burial ground of George Dunn and the Jordan River because, as he wrote in a chapel newsletter, no man can love IU without loving the Jordan River.

(Un)fit to Be Tied

By Rachel Skybetter · Tuesday, April 22,2008 12:27 a.m.

They had been staring at me for months from their corner of the closet. There they were, neatly folded in an IKEA organizer, with that blue denim smirk: the jeans of my thinner past. I’d been successfully avoiding their magnetic gaze for months.

Adderall-Nighter

With finals week just over the horizon, some students are feeling the pinch and ratcheting up their study efforts. For some, the impetus of this increase in dedication to schoolwork can be found in the form of a small pill.

New players add confusion to old problem

By Chris Engel · Monday, April 21,2008 11:32 p.m.

IU men’s basketball coach Tom Crean nabbed his second guard for 2008 in as many days Monday when Alabama native Nick Williams agreed to join the Hoosiers next season. Williams joins Indianapolis native and junior college transfer Devan Dumes as the future of IU’s backcourt. The question is, when will that future begin?
