Q&A with Patton Oswalt
The 19th-ranked IU men’s golf team closed out the final 18 holes of the UNCG Bridgestone Classic in Greensboro, N.C. with their best round of the 15-team tournament to finish in a tie for sixth.
In its last tournament of the fall season, the IU women’s tennis team will compete at the Western Michigan Duals this weekend. IU coach Lin Loring said other teams competing in the tournament, including Western Michigan, Wichita State, Yale and Depaul, have high-ranked players that should make the top brackets interesting to watch. He also said IU’s depth will help the team in the lower brackets. As in previous tournaments, Loring said the focus will be on doubles pairings.
Since the NBA started Tuesday and since the NBA will consume the rest of my junior year here at IU, I decided to share with you a few important dates on my NBA calendar and why you should watch them. Make sure to remember these dates: Oct. 30, Portland at San Antonio: At about 8 p.m., the NBA tipped off in San Antonio. At about 8:03 p.m., the first official Tim Donaghy joke was made.
LOS ANGELES – Hollywood writers have a revision ready for TV and movie producers. Contract talks resumed on Wednesday, with the Writers Guild of America ready to submit a revamped contract proposal with the hope of avoiding a strike after the current pact expires at midnight.
Castanets at The Cinemat When: 8 p.m. today Where: The Cinemat, 123 S. Walnut. St. More information: WIUX presents Castenets, with opening bands Make Believe Bombs to Blow Up Make Believe Worlds and Deer Tick. Tickets are $3.
WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court on Monday refused to consider a dispute involving Elizabeth Taylor over ownership of a Vincent van Gogh painting. The painting is claimed by descendants of a Jewish woman who fled Nazi Germany.
Part of assistant professor of costume design Linda Pisano’s research material is “Harris’s List of Covent Garden Ladies: Sex in the City in Georgian Britain.” The risqué, 160-page book by Hallie Rubenhold is a guide to picking up prostitutes in the 18th century. For Pisano, however, it is more than a quirky handbook; the commentary and annotated features are important resources.
Hilary Hahn, a self-described “modern troubadour,” will stop Saturday at the IU Auditorium. The Grammy-award-winning artist, who is releasing her 10th solo album in the spring, will play a five-piece recital, mostly of composers born in the 19th century, including Brahms and Mozart.
Wednesday night, the four councils of the Greek system combined to put on a ‘safe’ Halloween for the Bloomington community, said Lauren Berman, vice president of service and outreach for PHA.
The atmosphere is warm and fun, with employees joking around and diners enjoying a freshly prepared waffle or sandwich. The unusually slow pace of El Bistro steadily picks up around lunchtime. Even after a few setbacks in construction and a late start, El Bistro, the latest addition to the dining facilities, is becoming one of the more popular places to eat on campus.
Halloween might be over, but the link between the living and the dead is not yet broken. Today is El Dia de los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead. Observed in most Latin American countries, this is a day of honoring one’s ancestors and celebrating their lives.
