But the dress that stole Macdonald's show had already had its first outing on the British Academy Film Awards red carpet the previous evening.

Small-screen Hispanic

By Felipe Maya · Thursday, Feb. 17,2005 11:13 p.m.

Picture it: Gary, Ind., 1991. A cute, big-headed seven-year-old Mexican boy sits on the maroon carpet of the living room in his blue pajamas, red cape wrapped around his neck. He's watching "The Geraldo Rivera Show" with his older siblings on the 30-inch wood-paneled television and dreaming of being on it some day (TV, not Geraldo).

Japanese artist Isamu Noguchi rock garden on display for public

By Alyson Brodsy and Kenji Hall · Thursday, Feb. 17,2005 11:12 p.m.

MURE, Japan -- Inside a sprawling ring built of rough hewn rocks, American sculptor Isamu Noguchi once said he "conversed with stones." Called the "Circle," the dirt yard in the southern Japanese village of Mure served as one of Noguchi's main workshops from the late 1960s. It's now part of the Isamu Noguchi Garden Museum that was opened to the public in 1999. From the towering, granite trapezoid "Energy Void" to dozens of unfinished works, the museum's 150 sculptures offer a snapshot of Noguchi's art during a period from the late 1960s until his death in 1988 when he made many of his masterpieces. Although its collection can't compare to the Noguchi Museum in Long Island City, N.Y., the Mure site attracts Noguchi fans, modern-art buffs and adventurous tourists alike. It's also fascinating for anyone who wants to see Noguchi's works-in-progress, which bear the stamp if not the signature of the artist.

More than just letter and booze

By Adam Sedia · Thursday, Feb. 17,2005 11:11 p.m.

To Aristotle, the only division among people that mattered was between the Greeks and the non-Greeks. Not all that much has changed at IU 2,400 years later, except instead of referring to non-Greeks as "barbarians" (though it sounds nice), we call them GDIs: God-damned independents.

Music students practice to make perfect

By KhaiErn Ooi · Thursday, Feb. 17,2005 11:09 p.m.

Most non-musicians never really understand why practicing is such a central part of a musician's life. Some musicians can spend almost half the day playing their instruments. This is because musicians are on a quest for perfection, and practicing is the main tool they use to get there.

Freedom pie is bland

By Christopher Collins · Thursday, Feb. 17,2005 11:08 p.m.

I really like the freedom of speech. I am glad it is being put in the care packages that our troops are risking their lives to bring to the Iraqi and Afghan people. It's a main ingredient in the freedom pie Bush wants to bake in the Middle East. Since the founding of our nation, it has worked pretty well for us. Freedom of speech has allowed us to evolve as a nation, to talk about flaws in our democracy and to walk and picket until we change them. Freedom of speech seems to me like a pretty good idea.

Congress called upon for Social Security suggestions

By Alyson Brodsy and Jeannine Aversa · Thursday, Feb. 17,2005 11:08 p.m.

WASHINGTON -- President Bush appealed to members of Congress to make suggestions of their own for changing Social Security on Thursday, and said they need not fear political retribution. "It used to be in the past people would step up and say, 'Well, here's an interesting idea,'" Bush said at a news conference at the White House. "Then they would take that idea and clobber the person politically."

Keeping sports alive, solvent

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, Feb. 17,2005 11:06 p.m.

It's ironic that the good news this spring about the athletics fee is that it's not being raised. We should be grateful that at least the athletics department asked before taking advantage of university avenues to raise $1 million fast, however important the reason.
