Bartender and deejay \'mix well\'

Bartenders and deejays control the night. The doorman might allow you into the bar, but he doesn't mix your favorite drink. He can't play your favorite music. The bartender and deejay determine the mood, heart and soul of a bar. At Bullwinkle's, DJ Devin "Triptonite" Gray and bartender Jennifer Gray are also the heart and soul of each other as husband and wife.

Camilla's Cooking Corner

When I was little, I used to wonder why Goldilocks did not thank the three bears for letting her steal some of their oatmeal: gray, gummy lumpiness? I would have gladly given up mine. It was not until my teenage years that I learned the pleasures of a good bowl of oatmeal. When made correctly, it is smooth, silky and soothing. Made with milk and a dash of cinnamon, then topped with brown sugar, dried cherries and nuts. These days I find myself cozying up to a big bowl on many mornings and admiring the wisdom of those bears.

Graduate students opt for separation

An idea conceived over two years ago is finally coming to reality for the Graduate and Professional Student Organization. A constitution, which is submitted for ratification by departments, will remove GPSO from the umbrella coverage of the IU Student Organization. The split would grant graduate and professional students independence from IUSA. Currently the GPSO is merely an advocacy group for graduate students because IUSA claims to represent them, and all students.

FBI labels E.L.F. 'terrorists'

'Fiddler' tradition comes to Auditorium

The National Equity tour of "Fiddler on the Roof" will open at the IU Auditorium tonight and will play through Thursday.

The story is about the family trying to marry off the oldest daughter, Tzietel, and the journey to find her a proper mate. At that time in history, women's husbands were chosen for them. In this case Tzietel does not want to marry her arranged mate, Lazar Wolf, the butcher, and finds that she loves Motel, the poor tailor.
