Scott Brish always makes time to watch football on the weekends. That might not seem too different from many other college students, but for Brish, this is some of his only free time. He is studying for a doctorate in anthropology, with an emphasis on archaeology and museum studies. Like many other graduate students, he seeks ways to take a break from his intensive coursework and research. "On the weekend, you really don't want to do anything but relax," says Brish, who got his undergraduate degree from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Brish, who is in his third year of study at IU, also occasionally plays guitar and goes out with friends. He says he has more responsibilities as a graduate student than he did as an undergraduate.

Jonathan Silverman's first professional acting experience came at age 17, when Neil Simon cast him as the lead in the Broadway play "Brighton Beach Memoirs."

Junior bows out in semifinals of 'Jeopardy'

If only IU offered a major in useless trivia. If that were the case, junior Brett Dvorak would graduate at the top of his class. Wednesday, Dvorak represented IU on "College Jeopardy," answering questions in categories ranging from "European History" to "Mmm...You Smell Great." Although he finished round one in first place, Dvorak went into Final Jeopardy in third. He finished there after betting all $4,800 on a question about the Internet and missing the fact that "Google" is the popular search engine created by Sergey Brin. His "interesting tidbit" that each contestant brings during introduction was about his high school days in "South Pacific" where he had to wear a grass skirt and a coconut bra to class.

Journalism educator named nation's best

When IU School of Journalism Professor Jack Dvorak isn't teaching class, co-authoring books, writing scholarly articles for trade magazines, or winning national awards, he's out on the links, working on his golf game. Dvorak was recently named Journalism Educator of the Year at the Association of Educators for Journalism and Mass Communication this past August in Washington, D.C. The award is presented through the Scholastic Journalism Division, a subcommittee of the AEJMC. Each year, the award recipient is nominated by peers in the field of journalism education and is then selected by a committee. The relatively new award is only in its fourth year of existence and is granted because of long-term services and contributions to the field.
