The 'sew' goes on for designer

By Lindsey Landis · Wednesday, Aug. 30,2006 11:38 p.m.

She's a self-proclaimed terrible actress. She finds "abstract, expressionist" studio art pretentious, and yet, third-year graduate student Katherine Garlick has a passion for the theater and a talent for drawing. Throughout her education, Garlick learned how to combine her assets. She has done costume design for several IU theater productions, including last spring's "A Chorus Line." In addition, she worked for the Brown County Playhouse over the summer and created costumes for "The Compleat Works of Willm Shkspr (Abridged)."

Dean of Students Dick McKaig

By C. Warner Sills and weekend staff · Wednesday, Aug. 30,2006 11:36 p.m.

Dick McKaig may find time to do a lot of things around the IU campus, but also depends on modern technology to catch him up on everything he misses as having a time-consuming job like Dean of Students and Vice President of Student Affairs. "I have to use my DVR to record all of my favorite shows," he says. "I watch '24' and 'Deadwood' on HBO. I also really like 'The West Wing,' but it's gone now—so now I'm in trouble." In the summer months he tries to keep things as simple as possible. "I just like to loathe," McKaig says jubilantly. "Just lie on the couch, watch TV, swim in the swimming pool. I don't need any additional addictions. It's just really nice to have free time."

What they should have told you

By Mallory Simon · Wednesday, Aug. 30,2006 11:36 p.m.

My freshman year of college was one of my most memorable and my floormates on Delgado 300 probably have the pictures to prove it. But it was also anxiety-ridden. I unpacked my bags and set up my room unaware of where IU would take me. Now, as I start my senior year at IU, I can't help but look back on the embarrassing moments that plagued my first couple of months on this campus. The way I see it: college isn't college unless you make a fool of yourself at least a couple of times.

The fengshui way

By Annysa LaMantia and Anyssa LaMantia · Wednesday, Aug. 30,2006 11:33 p.m.

Love it or hate it, we are knee deep in moving season in our lively college town. There are the lucky few who have retained their residences over the summer, but for most it's cardboard box heaven as the process of unpacking begins. But with a new living space on your hands, a question presents itself : "Where's all my stuff going to go?" Just getting rid of the boxes is the setup strategy for some, but recognizing home as a sanctuary prompts others to carefully consider an ideal room layout. Such an intuitive sense of comfort is just what fuels the ancient Chinese practice of Feng Shui.

Holy elections!

By Alyson Brodsy and Jonathan P. Rossing · Wednesday, Aug. 30,2006 11:07 p.m.

Remember Katherine Harris? In case you didn't vote in the 2000 elections, let me remind you: She was the Florida secretary of state who proudly declared George W. Bush the winner of Florida's 25 electoral votes in November 2000. Now she's a U.S. representative from Florida, and she's making waves again.

Pluto's deserved demotion

By Alyson Brodsy · Wednesday, Aug. 30,2006 11:06 p.m.

Pluto was demoted to the status of dwarf planet by the International Astronomical Union's assembly in Prague last week. While Pluto meets two of the three qualifications of a planet (it orbits the sun and is large enough to have a round shape) it fails to clear the other objects from its orbit. The vote has been met with controversy, in no small portion due to the fact that only the 424 astronomers that remained in Prague for the concluding day of the conference voted on the demotion. Mike Brown, the discoverer of newly categorized dwarf planet UB313 (quite a name), said that he "may go down in history as the guy who killed Pluto" (BBC, Aug. 25).
