Thinking about Final Four

·

Before I begin, I need to take a TV timeout. Can you imagine if after every four sentences I took a break? OK, fine, sometimes the columns read like that anyway, but stick with me on this one. In the three hours of a CBS-broadcast NCAA basketball game, one only watches 40 minutes of actual game coverage. And heaven forbid CBS stays on the game during a timeout. A player asking for a second to tie his shoe does not warrant another commercial.

INPIRG faces problem with software

The new OneStart registration program could be the last stop for the Indiana Student Public Interest Research Group.

Choosing peace

·

Some faces, deeply wrinkled, registered awe at the sheer bustle of the nearly hundred-strong crowd; others, smooth with youth, beamed with a pride hate couldn't touch. Bodies -- some draped in rainbow-striped flags -- heads adorned with golden-tinged halos milled together, so in the dusk enveloping North Jordan Avenue, they almost seemed to move as one.

Romantic, moody Irish singer catching on

·

NEW YORK -- Even with an audience including Julia Roberts, Renee Zellweger, George Clooney and Nicolas Cage, singer-songwriter Damien Rice is not a background kind of guy. All those stars attended a gig Rice had last year at the home of a Hollywood agent to introduce his music to the movie community. But it was a party with networking and laughing, so when the folksy Irishman began strumming his guitar, few people noticed.

Hispanic author talks about contemporary cultural identity

Though Hispanics have grown to become the nation's largest minority, author Richard Rodriguez, the son of Mexican immigrants, questioned the notion of Hispanics replacing African Americans. In a lecture Thursday afternoon, titled "New Ways of Thinking about Diversity," at the Indiana Memorial Union's Whittenberger Auditorium, Rodriguez said because of African Americans' history as leaders of the civil rights movement, he didn't understand that idea.
