Fair to offer insight on health careers

‘Complexions’ explores future of contemporary dance

Sweat rolled down the faces of the dancers, during Complexions Contemporary Ballet’s master class at the Musical Arts Center on Monday, as they learned a routine at a fast-paced rate from company member Juan Antonio Rodriguez.

Public relations group to host workshop for greek organizations

Kirkwood ticket joins two other campaigns for IUSA elections

As IU Student Association elections approach, students are gearing up for the campaigning season. Running mates junior Joe Weis and sophomore Robert Bercovitz lead the Kirkwood ticket, which will compete with the Big Red and INdiana tickets in the upcoming March 25 and 26 IUSA elections.

‘Seagull’ flies short of expectations

For avid theater-goers, there is always that one play that makes them sit and stay on the edge of their seat, even after the performance has finished. Despite the beautifully fluid language of Anton Chekhov’s “The Seagull,” which opened Friday in the Ruth N. Halls Theatre, it did exactly the opposite. Brilliant costuming and sets seemed to be the few redeeming qualities of this production.

The British are coming!

Sir Elton John, scones from Marks & Spencer, Kate Moss and Pete Doherty (my favorite role model), the world’s best kebabs after 2 a.m., Top Shop, the beehive of my sexy female lover Amy Winehouse and The Office ... what is the common thread here? Well, I’m cheating on America (and I’m not even using protection) – England has stolen my heart, and those were just a few of the many reasons why.

Around the World

Mediator Kofi Annan said he has suspended talks between Kenya’s government and the opposition to end the country’s deadly postelection crisis.

Army chief outlines plans to reduce length of combat tours this summer

The Army’s top general said Tuesday he wants to reduce combat tours for soldiers in Iraq from 15 months to 12 months this summer – and hopes that sticks.

Sports fan censorship

Free speech is dead. This last weekend, I was in Indianapolis to watch my younger brother swim in the state swim meet. He won both events he entered even though he broke his foot in the middle of the meet — but that’s not really relevant to this column. The relevant part is that, to support my brother, a couple of friends and I decided to make signs to bring to the meet.

Digitalized revolution

If it scares you to know that in five minutes, an individual could print out all your known addresses, criminal records, bills paid and travel information, then you’ve got a lot to get used to. The good news is, you don’t have to tremble alone. Recently, Google has taken a bid to digitize medical information to make it more shareable (among individuals qualified to see it), and in the process, it has awakened the fear of many.

Casting Castro

The world is a-changin’. In the past week we have seen a dictator retire from office, a former war-torn region declare independence and Turkey enter Northern Iraq. But perhaps most striking, and most relevant to Americans, is the story of Fidel Castro, president of Cuba for about 50 years, stepping down.

Power politics

In Thursday, The New York Times ran a story about John McCain’s close ties to a female lobbyist who did business before the Senator’s committee. Conservative pundits like Sean Hannity, who had been giving McCain a lot of flak, rushed to his defense. It seems that even conservatives who are critical of McCain are more than eager to rush to battle against a common foe, a newspaper they consider such a bastion of liberalism, The New York Times.

Labels matter

There seems to be a movement among young college activists today, the origins of which I find peculiar. I refer to the tendency of many students affiliated with leftist causes to identify themselves as “progressives,” as opposed to “liberals.” While I certainly understand the arbitrary nature of political labels, the reason for this distressing shift needs to be examined because it is reflected among our national leaders, as well.

Repetitive 'Point'

The always likable Dennis Quaid headlines all the advertising for “Vantage Point,” but the movie has so many different and parallel story lines that he’s only the focus for about 20 minutes of the movie.

Don't fast forward

Like a true love letter, “Be Kind Rewind” makes you remember what you love about movies. It’s all about creating an idea that inspires an audience.
