Take Back the Night

By Jessica Hullinger · Sunday, Oct. 8,2006 2:36 p.m.

A group of women and men stopped traffic and brought spectators to tears on Kirkwood Avenue Thursday night as they marched, chanted and waved banners, demanding an end to violence against women during the annual Take Back the Night march and rally. Among the spectators on Kirkwood was Middle Way House resident and former abuse victim, Lisa Randall, who stopped in her tracks upon hearing more than 50 united voices shouting things like, "However we dress, wherever we go, yes means yes, and no means no." "I heard them chanting, and I just stopped," Randall said, "I was raped, so the march really moved me. It helps those of us that don't have the strength to stand up for ourselves." The march, which was meant to signify the right for women to walk alone in the night without being confronted by violence, began in Dunn Meadow with a rally including music by the Culchies and informational booths sponsored by various campus organizations. Some of the participating groups included the Middle Way House, IU Men's Coalition, Woman's Student Association and the Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance. While the cause they gathered for was a serious matter, people of all age, race and gender danced and conversed in celebration of the annual gathering.

Record number expected for Hoosiers Outrun Cancer events

By Peter Stevenson · Saturday, Oct. 7,2006 7:27 p.m.

Debbie Sibbitt experiences a moment each year when her heart soars. On a day when thousands of people come together to support one cause, Sibbitt finally sees a year of work come together. That day this year will be Saturday, the day of the annual Hoosiers Outrun Cancer race. "You can see it in people's faces, when they look out over this huge crowd of people," said Sibbitt, a member of the Hoosiers Outrun Cancer steering committee. "Especially students. It takes you aback to know how many of these people are going through the same thing or know someone who is."

7 venues strong

By Lindsey Landis · Friday, Oct. 6,2006 11:15 a.m.

Brazilian beats, Afro-Cuban grooves and Jewish folk melodies comprise just a few sections of the eclectic musical lineup that will fill the Bloomington streets this weekend. The downtown area will be packed with concerts at seven venues -- from The Bluebird to the Buskirk-Chumley Theater. In addition to these concerts, students can take in ethnic food, parades, free DJ shows and even a man on stilts. The 13th annual Lotus World Music & Arts Festival will kick off at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater with Väsen, a Swedish acoustic band. This year, almost 30 bands from every corner of the globe will perform at the four-day event. From 7 to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday, music for those with diverse tastes -- and fans looking to discover new beats -- will fill seven stages, Lotus Director Lee Williams said. "We have 28 artists and, of course, great diversity as always," he said. "There's always something for everyone's taste. The venues are the new thing this year -- something this town has never seen before. The Monroe Bank Tent covers half a block, and we're going to have some of the more rocking bands there." Friday and Saturday have a lot of overlapping artists, but there are a few artists and events unique to Friday. For those looking for free entertainment, IU Hip Hop Congress will host a number of world DJ's from various bands and a turntable workshop with free admission at the Union Board's tent.
