Belly dancers to perform at JWAC

By Chelsea Merta · Sunday, Nov. 18,2007 8:47 p.m.

A computer teacher, opera singer and folklore doctorate student: seemingly not the first group of people who come to mind when you think of belly dancers.

Turkey day trivia

By Abby Schwimmer and Ab Schwimmer · Sunday, Nov. 18,2007 6:23 p.m.

Ah, the majestic turkey. It’s the very first thing to enter your mind when you hear the word “Thanksgiving,” even before pilgrims, Indians, colonialism and mass exploitation. Its elegant figure graces the bulletin boards in elementary schools around the country for the entire month of November, and the tryptophan-filled nourishment it provides induces comas and dumb remarks from those who have overindulged in it across the U.S.

Break from undergrads

By Brian J. McFillen · Sunday, Nov. 18,2007 6:22 p.m.

Break doesn’t start until after the last class Tuesday, but this is IU, and that means almost no undergraduate student is going to stick around for one little dollop of education when they could be at home playing “Halo 3” instead of sitting in their dorm room … um … playing “Halo 3.” So, that means that this is a rare opportunity to talk about all the stuff that we can’t discuss when they’re here:

Thankful for beer

By Jacob Stewart and Jake Stewart · Sunday, Nov. 18,2007 6:21 p.m.

This week, students get a well-deserved break. A hiatus from working on papers and creating massive projects, the IU community is preparing for its home stretch with a few days off to let its hair down before the sprint to finals week. And what better way to spend those days than with nagging parents and relatives whose names you can barely remember, hoping that the prayer will be over soon so that you can turn the damn game back on. Ah, the joy of spending time with family.

No complaints

Sunday, Nov. 18,2007 6:20 p.m.

We at the IDS Editorial Board whine a lot – we know. We complain about our sports teams losing and then complain when we do anything to win. We complain about paying too much for college, and then we complain about the inadequate quality of our education. We complain about each other. We complain, and we complain proudly; that’s an important part of what the Editorial Board does. Yet, even for our whiny, self-indulgent selves, Thanksgiving is the time of year to realize how lucky we are to have what we have.

The great housewife debate

By Anna Piontek · Sunday, Nov. 18,2007 5:53 p.m.

Of the many misconceptions floating around about feminism, the one I hear most often is that feminists don’t respect housewives. The debate erupted again only a few days ago in Russian class, of all places, as we read and discussed a ’90s interview with Naina Yeltsin, wife of Boris Yeltsin.
