Finding my place

By Joe Troyer · Thursday, Sept. 25,2003 1:21 a.m.

One of the risks I took when I decided to come to graduate school at IU was the possibility that I'd end up running into some of my former students. After spending six years teaching in Elkhart, Ind., I was a bit worried -- justifiably, I think -- that I might end up being a little embarrassed or maybe even a little beat up if I happened to run into somebody I had in class. "Remember that D you gave me in freshman English, Mr. Troyer?" Oh, I remember, all right. Sir.

Experience all the Speedway offers

By Colin Nowling · Thursday, Sept. 25,2003 1:16 a.m.

For those of you who may not have noticed, there happens to be a huge sporting event with large international implications in our own state's backyard this weekend. No, it's not the Indianapolis Colts seeking to be 4-0. Nor does it relate to basketball, even in a state where basketball controls some lives for months at a time.

True freshman making impact

By Gavin Lesnick · Thursday, Sept. 25,2003 1:15 a.m.

Saturday night against Kentucky, true freshman running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis was playing under a lot of pressure. His family was in town from New Orleans, La., for Freshmen Family Weekend, to see him play collegiate football for the first time in person. Among them was Green-Ellis' biggest critic, someone who routinely pointed out what he was doing wrong or what skills he needed to improve in football growing up.

The only Feargal we have is Sharkey himself

By C. Warner Sills and Mike Ley · Thursday, Sept. 25,2003 12 a.m.

Are teenage dreams so hard to beat?" You sure as hell can't beat these. The Undertones lived up to the biggest of teenage dreams, landing a record deal for their self-titled LP for $60,000 from Sire Records, touring and gaining respect as one of the best punk bands of the late '70s -- all before they hit 20.

A deal with the Devil

By Neal Taflinger · Thursday, Sept. 25,2003 12 a.m.

Leni Reifenstahl is dead at the age of 101. She is as widely praised for her artistic vision as she is condemned for her early collaboration with the Nazi Party. There has been much talk of how she will be remembered, and, to be sure, there will be much more. She herself waffled between denying any wrongdoing as a Nazi propagandist and admitting that the circumstances of her work were regrettable.

Around the world in four days

Scream for me Bloomington!

By Neal Taflinger · Thursday, Sept. 25,2003 12 a.m.

After more than two decades, Iron Maiden is more than a band; they are an ethos, a brand name, and the collective raised fist of metal-dom.

Hipsters and hillbillies: The evolution of 'Mr. Show

By -Alec Toombs · Thursday, Sept. 25,2003 12 a.m.

For the six of you who actually read my column and the two of those six who can remember back as far as a year, you may recollect me writing something about Run Ronnie Run. Well, the film, which is essentially the bastard love child of comedic geniuses Bob Odenkirk and David Cross, has finally seen the light, albeit in direct-to-DVD treatment.

The spirit of Saturday afternoon

By -Mitch Nelson · Thursday, Sept. 25,2003 12 a.m.

If you are one of those people who need to relive the excitement and spirit of a Saturday afternoon football game anytime you want, then EA Sports' NCAA College Football 2004 is the right game for you. The game offers some of the most realistic college action on the market, including real fight songs. Employing the traditions of these afternoon classics, it is a can't-miss.

Stereophonics don't 'Welsh' on heavy blues-rock sounds

By Virginia Clifton · Thursday, Sept. 25,2003 12 a.m.

At first listen, the new Stereophonics disc immediately made me think, "These boys are British." Despite the fact that I was correct in my assumption, the Welsh rockers set themselves apart from the archetypal brutish guitar and raw vocals that frequently seem to be exported from overseas.

HIPHOP hits the heartland

By Amanda Hendy · Thursday, Sept. 25,2003 12 a.m.

The windows are down, a cool breeze counters the sun's heat and of course, music fills the air. It's a typical drive through Bloomington for Marquis Vaughn, IU alum and co-founder of the young Knock 'Em Dead Records, Inc. Only this particular day was Wednesday, the day Vaughn drives home elementary school kids from the after-school program where he mentors.
