All-ages summer art classes to begin

By Ashley Thurs · Wednesday, May 30,2007 9:42 p.m.

Sitting at his desk with a cup of coffee, Education Director Roger Meridith answered a phone call from a parent wishing to enroll her 6-year-old son Dillon in summer art classes at the John Waldron Arts Center. It’s not odd for Meridith to be hearing “Summer camp, line three” from his co-workers all day long.

Fried eggs, glow sticks and an accordion were just a few of the elements that made Monday evening’s “The Magic Theater, A Curious Rock Show” at the Bloomington Cinemat so peculiar.

A night at a live punk show can be a little hard on the eardrums. But with a staple pop-punk powerhouse coming to Indianapolis, the tympanic membranes can take one for the team.

If you were ever 13, don’t read ‘Black Swan Green’

By Lindsey Landis · Wednesday, May 30,2007 9:14 p.m.

David Mitchell’s “Black Swan Green” follows the life of Jason Taylor, a 13-year-old growing up in Worcestershire, England. He fights with his older sister, writes angsty poetry and spends a good portion of his time thinking about sex. It is a stereotypical “coming of age” tale.

Tolerance is a Christian value

Wednesday, May 30,2007 7:51 p.m.

In response to the letter “Jesus Christ just one of many paths” written by IU employee Steve Salter, I find such a letter offensive both as a Christian and as someone who makes a strong effort to be a tolerant and accepting person. Mr. Salter is obviously bothered that any Christians and presumably people of other religions believe that their faith is the only right faith.

Falwell representative of evangelicals

Wednesday, May 30,2007 7:50 p.m.

Amanda Lowry, your May 24 column, “Memoirs of Jerry Falwell,” did the man well-deserved justice in my opinion. However your apologetics on behalf of evangelical Christians seems to me to be an attempt to distance them from that clown now that he is gone.

Christianity a religion of love

Wednesday, May 30,2007 7:49 p.m.

I would like to help Mr. Salter understand Christianity and other religions (“Jesus Christ just one of many paths,” May 24). One must create amazing rationalizations to conclude that the Bible is fictional. Please state your case. The most common understanding of a “cult” is a religion regarded as unorthodox or spurious, and “devotion” regarded as a literary or intellectual fad.

It’s been more than a month and a half since I received a text message in the Indiana Memorial Union that simply read, “Vonnegut died.” When it happened, I suddenly felt that my frantic scrambling to finish my political theory term paper in the next two hours was a mistake of priorities.
