Malaysian art focus of exhibit

·

The IU Art Museum is continuing efforts to highlight the best artistry from around the world with a unique collection of traditional Malaysian art. The collection was loaned to the museum by Mary Ruth Linville Jumper, who lived in Malaysia from 1986 to 1991. The exhibit, "Spirits in Wood: Contemporary Sculpture from Malaysia," is organized by Diane Pelrine, curator of arts of Africa, Oceania and the Americas.

'Show Boat' a masterpiece

·

I have been blessed with the magic of "Show Boat." It is the only musical reaching masterpiece status. How else would a show still attract audiences after more than 70 years, by filling seats anytime, anywhere? It is almost unbelievable that the musical that started it all is still around for comparison with its contemporary successors.

Columnist used misleading statistics

·

I applaud Sheila Lalwani's effort to bring up-to-date knowledge on HIV to the student body in her Feb. 9 column, "AIDS on the rise ... again." Unfortunately, while she emphasized the importance of getting information to readers, she actually misinformed the readers with incorrect statistics from the study she discussed.

I wish I were a hacker

·

I believe regretting things in your life is as useless as having George W. Bush as your "phone a friend" lifeline. But I do regret one thing from my childhood -- never becoming a computer hacker.

Racial profiling applies to New York art

·

It's not enough to just storm red-faced from the gallery. What Mayor Rudolph Giuliani doesn't like gets a righteous whack with his mayor-club. That's why he told reporters that Renee Cox's "Yo' Mama's Last Supper," a reinterpretation of Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper" that depicts Jesus as a nude, black female, is "disgusting," "outrageous" and "anti-Catholic." He wants to cut the Brooklyn Museum's funding. He wants to create a task force.

A return to the 'golden' age

·

The Golden Girls were famous for clip shows. You remember: Blanche, Dorothy, Rose and Sophia would sit around a cheesecake, sifting through memories. Their editors would splice in scenes from old episodes, and their writers would revel in the luxury of not having to come up with any new ideas. I feel like I'm watching a White House clip show. It's called "The Worst Political Moments of the Last 20 Years."

U.S. planes attack Iraqi radar sites

·

WASHINGTON -- President Bush ordered an airstrike Friday on Iraqi military sites south of Baghdad to destroy five military command sites that threatened American and British aircraft. White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said the action was "a routine strike" to enforce the no-fly zone in Iraq and protect U.S. personnel. Bush authorized the strike Thursday morning. British and U.S. planes took part in the attack.

Sitting pretty after day one

·

The first race of the finals in the 2001 Big Ten Swimming and Diving Championships might serve as an omen for the Hoosiers. Or at least they hope. The Hoosiers won two events, putting them behind only Michigan after day one of the three-day event at Counsilman Billingsley Aquatic Center. Penn State sits third.

Nationals revoke Theta Chi charter

·

Theta Chi's national organization revoked the IU chapter's charter Friday because of a Jan. 27 party at the house. Alcohol was served at the party, a violation of the chapter's probation, said David Westol, executive director of Theta Chi fraternity. The party is also at the center of the IU Police Department's investigation into freshman Seth Korona's death.

In memory of Paul Nutter: student, friend, fighter

·

When I spoke to my friend Paul for the last time in October, I knew things weren't good. I had hoped to visit him, and he told me, "Maybe in a few weeks, when I feel better." He never felt better. For the past few months, I tried to call him, but either the phone was busy or no one answered. Last week, I finally spoke to his mother. "There's some sad news," she said.

Hoosiers hope long shot turns into tourney bid

Gay urban legends exposed

·

Gay people, like most people, have our little bits of subcultural folklore and urban legends. We might decry and denounce the misinformation spread about us by our enemies or other outsiders, but we have a rich mythology of our own. For your entertainment, I’ll share a few examples.

Conversation: the new elevator music

·

It's 4:30 in the afternoon. I am standing on the ground level of Ballantine Hall waiting for an elevator. My destination is the fourth floor. But I am lazy and tired, so I am riding the elevators.

Napster ruling affects campus

·

Students and staff had mixed reactions Monday to a San Francisco appeals court ruling that U.S. District Judge Marilyn Hall Patel must edit her original injunction against Napster Inc. The revision must state it only prevents the unauthorized trade of copyrighted music by users. The appeals court also ruled the company must delete from its Web site all links allowing users to exchange copyrighted material in the form of MP3 files.
