Real sizes, real bodies

·

By her measurements in the 1950s, Marilyn Monroe was a size 12. In 2006 sizes, she would be a size 6. People large, small, tall and short worry about their sizes, but it seems that women worry more than men. When men shop for a pair of jeans, they walk up to the Target "Wall" of Levi's, find their favorite fit (loose vs. tight), find their measurements (e.g. 30x30), and purchase them.

WIUX concert to rock Dunn Meadow Saturday

·

Concerts can be an expensive proposition for many students, but IU's student-run radio station WIUX is bringing free live music to campus. WIUX is holding its annual Culture Shock music festival from noon to 11 p.m. Saturday in Dunn Meadow. "Bloomington has a very storied music scene," said Brian Kerr, WIUX special events director. "A lot of good bands are coming out of Bloomington, but it's sometimes hard to find out about them. Culture Shock is one way to expose these bands to everyone."

On April 9, 1989, at 3 p.m., Bloomington's Camerata Orchestra performed its first concert. Seventeen years later to the exact hour, it will perform again in "celebration." The group started as a 35-piece orchestra and has grown into a full-size symphony, with 75 to 85 members, said Lenore Hatfield, violinist and orchestra founder. The concert is at 3 p.m. Sunday at Bloomington High School South's auditorium. All Bloomington-area music lovers are invited to come to the performance, titled "Celebration." Tickets are available at the door for $12 for adults and $4 for students. According to a press release, the orchestra is made up of IU music faculty, music students and Bloomington residents, and was organized to offer a professional setting separate from the University. The orchestra also includes many guest conductors and soloists from around the world.

Where's the artist in the art?

·

A urinal with Marcel Duchamp's signature painted on the side started it all. He wanted to challenge the assumption that art required an artist, so in 1917, Duchamp submitted the otherwise untouched bathroom fixture for exhibition and revolutionized art.

·

Rows of black tights shook with laughter under the glare of lights, and the chorus of Paula Abdul's "Cold Hearted" played again and again, but Gary Wohlafka, listed in InMotion Dance Company's "Fusion" program as the lighting designer and audio technician, just couldn't seem to get it right. Several times, co-director and junior Justine Menter's blonde hair would flip up while she yelled, "Music? Music now, please," up to the sound booth.
