Old color photos published

By Lee Cleary · Wednesday, Nov. 19,2003 12:17 a.m.

Almost every painting, photograph or drawing done in the mid-20th century has at least one thing in common: a lack of color. Most art before the 1970s was done in black and white. That's what makes the Charles Weever Cuchman collection so unique.

New software to stop cheating

By Rachel Ward · Wednesday, Nov. 19,2003 12:16 a.m.

To some students, copying and pasting some information here and there into the usual English paper doesn't seem like such a big deal. These students question how professors will ever know. But with the new software, TurnItIn, that IU faculty and staff are test-running in classes, those few stolen words could turn into a plagiarism dilemma.

'Tiger' dependent on series

By Britany Ausmus and Brittany Ausmus · Wednesday, Nov. 19,2003 12:13 a.m.

Tom Clancy just never quits, but he probably had a quandary when he decided to write yet another novel focused on the enterprising Ryan family. Jack Ryan has been the driving character in many of Clancy's classics, including "The Hunt for Red October" and "Patriot Games." He's got to be getting on in years.

Series presents classic films to modern generation

By Josh Hamm and Joshua Hamm · Wednesday, Nov. 19,2003 12:12 a.m.

In the era of HBO, DVDs and MP3s, Americans have the means to enjoy a classic Hollywood film in the comfort of their homes. But once upon a time, the only place to catch a movie in Bloomington was downtown at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater. With the creation of the Golden Age of Hollywood film series and the renovation of the theater, the golden age of Hollywood has returned to Bloomington.

Comics crash academia

By Claire Blaustein · Wednesday, Nov. 19,2003 12:12 a.m.

"Indiana Review," a literary journal published by IU, is currently working on its upcoming summer issue. While they normally print works of fiction, non-fiction and poetry, this time they plan to give their readers something they might not expect -- a comic book. IR often includes visual art in its biannual issues, but this is the first time it will include an insert of comic art.

21 is so passé

By Bonnie Real · Tuesday, Nov. 18,2003 11:33 p.m.

Tell a person that it's your birthday, and quite often his or her face will light up with vicarious glee. Tell them you're turning anything other than 18 or 21, however, and that shining look will quickly recede.

Around the arts

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Nov. 18,2003 3:02 a.m.

Music. Dance. Theater. Choreography. Performance Art. The nationally acclaimed act STOMP has been called all of the above. STOMP is explosive, provocative, sophisticated, sexy and utterly unique. The eight-member troupe uses everything but conventional percussion instruments -- matchboxed, wooden poles, brooms, garbage cans, Zippo lighters, hubcaps -- to produce a wide array of rhythm.

Although this was the third of six Beethoven string quartet cycle concerts the Orion Quartet will perform at IU, it has not yet ceased to amaze. Its blend of technical mastery and complete control of the repertoire it is tackling led up to a remarkable performance Sunday.

Jordan River Forum

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Nov. 18,2003 1:34 a.m.

I think the idea to bring advertising to the residence halls is a great idea. After reading the article in the IDS on Nov. 14 titled "TV ads Invade Residence Halls," I wasn't quite sure it's a good idea for IU. First, where is $30,000 going to come from and where will it go? The article didn't really specify where, but it will go to programs and such. What programs?

'Educate' the masses

By Nathan James Richardson · Tuesday, Nov. 18,2003 1:28 a.m.

I was reading the article "Is IU a politically correct campus?" and I must say that yes, IU is a politically correct campus. Many viewpoints that are labeled politically incorrect are promptly noted, the person is "educated" on why they are wrong and their viewpoints are eradicated.

Save the 'Park and Ride'

By Cameron Thibos · Tuesday, Nov. 18,2003 1:27 a.m.

One of the most persistent issues on campus is parking. In the students' eyes, IU doesn't do much to alleviate the problem. Stiff fines, expensive permits and overbooked slots leave many of us sitting in traffic hoping that a new parking space will just materialize in front of us.

Keep a personal touch

By Hisato Kawata · Tuesday, Nov. 18,2003 1:26 a.m.

When people devalue something, they say things like, "that is a waste of time." "Don't waste my time," busy people complain. People really hate the notion of waste, especially waste of time. Technological advancement has focused on getting rid of it. Now you don't have to go to various places to do your business.
