Out of the ashes of war and Holocaust, forgotten music found

By Ariel David · Wednesday, March 21,2007 12 a.m.

ROME – A waltz. A tango. A piece of jazz. But they weren’t composed in Vienna, Buenos Aires or New Orleans. Scribbled on diaries, loose pages or even toilet paper, these are the notes left behind by people who lived and died in the prisons and concentration camps of World War II.

McRobbie to receive annual performance reviews

By Brian Spegele · Wednesday, March 21,2007 12 a.m.

Along with a $40,000 pay jump, soon-to-be University President Michael McRobbie will be subjected to more scrupulous University review than his predecessor, according to the terms of his contract. McRobbie, who is poised to replace departing University President Adam Herbert on July 1, has agreed to an employment contract that remains similar to Herbert’s in many ways. Still, certain key differences suggest IU’s trustees might incorporate a more hands-on approach when dealing with IU’s next leader.

Graduates network to find city jobs

By Alex Kopytko · Tuesday, March 20,2007 12 a.m.

Just because a business degree says “Kelley” on it doesn’t mean graduates intend to stay in Indiana to pursue their careers. Some graduates dream of landing a corporate job in the John Hancock Building in Chicago, but don’t have the means to do it. One of the most crucial aspects of getting a job is finding contacts in the chosen industry or business. While it may seem impossible to get the attention of people like Bill Gates, IU faculty members and a graduate student shared their recommendations for finding contacts in a new city. First, they said it is vital for students to keep in contact with people they know today. Those contacts could someday be helpful. “If you can keep that relationship going, you never know what can happen,” said Christopher Rolf, a graduate student in the Kelley School of Business.

May I have your attention?

By Ryan Brown · Tuesday, March 20,2007 12 a.m.

The art world has been shrouded with a dark stigma for a while now over its radical, sometimes too edgy nature. Artists continually push the envelope in dark, sometimes disturbing ways that began during the Dada period in the early 20th century. Perhaps one of the most famous pieces from this period is Marcel Duchamp’s “Fountain,” a found art sculpture of a urinal signed “R. Mutt.” The piece, revered for its drastic existential questioning on the basis and standards of art, can be found as a replica in IU’s own art museum. Artists continued in Duchamp’s steps to create new forms of art that have brought on serious questioning on the status of art. Were the artists creating personal meaning, or were they merely craving attention?
