Welcome back or welcome for the first time -- you've gone through orientation or you are an old hand, a veteran of getting to class with no one watching your every move. College is a wonderful experience either way.

January 1998, I'm on the futon in Chuck's apartment, reading. Between Vanity Fair (the novel, not the magazine) and the admission materials for the School of Library and Information Science, I read drug labels and information materials from my excellent pharmacists at Kroger Seminary Square.

Dissent - Government is not the correct answer

·

When Mayor John Fernandez offered to help the Bloomington Area Arts Council resolve its financial woes, the plan sounded like a good thing. Save the council and a downtown theater, the mayor seemed to say, and you'll save this town. Yet that is a narrow view of the many things Bloomington has to offer, including other venues for the performing arts. Many organizations and businesses struggle to pay operating expenses, and all of those are important to at least some members of the community.

To anyone who doesn't know her well, freshman Melissa Brewer looks like any other student and just another player on the volleyball court. But if they saw her at night, after her contacts have been taken out, they'd find a different story.

Consider the actions, not the lifestyle

The other day, my father sent me an e-mail I had seen a few times before. The first time I read it, I deleted it. When I received it this time, I kept it because it piqued my interest.

Buskirk-Chumley needs city help

Few would disagree that culture is important in any society. But these days, a time when business ventures are turning every worthwhile exploration into a plain-faced corporate scheme, a little bit of culture can go a long way. Fewer and fewer young adults are leaving their Webcams and Playstations for the theater. Bloomington is a town that prides itself on the arts and is considered an oasis of culture in a state where little exists. So it is time the city government stepped in to help the faltering Buskirk-Chumley Theatre and the all-important Bloomington Area Arts Council.
