First ladies evolve throughout history

·

No one is closer to the president than the first lady. From Martha Washington to Eleanor Roosevelt to Hillary Clinton, the role of the first lady has undergone major changes. While they were once the assumed hostesses of the White House, first ladies during the past few decades have switched their attention from the rose garden to social issues.

Life in the clothed lane

·

While posing nude, True and Pugh serve as an inspiration to artists. But in their everyday life, nudity takes on dimensions unknown to a flat canvas.

The Naked Truth

·

Twenty pairs of eyes stare in your direction, intent on memorizing the curl of your lips, the wrinkles on your brow, the curve of your shoulder. You feel a cold breeze against your back. Shivering, you realize the tiny goose bumps that appear on your skin result from being completely naked. If you think this is your worst nightmare, think again.

City Lights brings Tati masterpiece \'Playtime\' to Ballantine 013

·

If Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton would have successfully survived up until this point in cinema, it is easy to think this is what they would have created. Arguably Jacques Tati's ("Mr. Hulot's Holiday") masterpiece, "Playtime" transports Monsieur Hulot (Tati himself) through the chaotic reality of a French metropolis as he attempts to keep an appointment.

\'Blair Witch 2\' lacking

·

Cashing in on the love-it-or-hate-it cultural phenomenon of last year, "Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2" is an interesting yet highly flawed horror flick and a cynical marketing ploy.

'Vance' shoots par

·

Robert Redford's latest film, "The Legend of Bagger Vance," is exactly everything you expect it to be. It is unlikely that anyone will be disappointed by it, while no one will be surprised by it either. In other words, "Bagger Vance" is "Good Will Hunting" meets "The Horse Whisperer" and "Ordinary People." You can see every generic formula and cliché coming from miles away while watching this film.

Football tries to stay alive

·

Kurt Kittner didn't shy away from criticizing his performance last weekend in Illinois' 14-10 loss at Michigan State. The Illini junior quarterback said even his mom could have made some of the throws he couldn't.

Presidential wives already active in political arena

·

Lynne Cheney and Hadassah Lieberman, wives of vice presidential candidates Dick Cheney and Joseph Lieberman, don't relegate themselves to the role of a smiling, silent sidekick while their husbands fight for the second highest office in the nation. For years both have been known in Washington as fierce politicos in their own right.

Soccer to end season on road

·

This weekend is supposed to be an uneventful one for the men's soccer team. Coach Jerry Yeagley traditionally gives the team a week off before the Big Ten Tournament so it can rest -- both physically and mentally. But this year will be different.

Decade of dance, lifetime of hope

·

Many students struggle to stay awake during class, let alone trying to stay awake for 36 hours of dancing. But that's exactly what 700 dancers in the 10th annual Dance Marathon will be trying to do this weekend. The Marathon begins at 8 p.m. tonight in the Health, Physical, Education and Recreation gymnasium.

Colin Powell to speak

·

Gen. Colin Powell, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff -- a man urged by many to seek the presidency, a philanthropic leader and, depending on the outcome of the presidential election, a likely candidate for Secretary of State -- will visit campus today and speak in the IU Auditorium.

Style, flair distinguish sophomore's play

·

Juggling and whipping soccer balls across the field to wide-open teammates and tricking defenders, Marcus Chorvat, a sophomore midfielder on the men's soccer team, is known for his stylish play.

Time runs out for winning season

·

No longer does IU have next week to fall back upon. After every loss, the Hoosiers have quickly turned their attention to the next week. But this is it. There are no more weeks to look to if IU plans on a winning season or a bowl game bid.

Small size, big plays for Floyd

·

Junior defensive back Marcus Floyd said he's blessed. He's not blessed in physical stature. Floyd stands just 5-foot-9 and weighs 191 pounds.

Guru holds his own with guest singers on \'Jazzmataz Streetsoul\'

·

Usually when a CD is showered with guest vocalists on every single song, one must proceed with caution. It is a frequent sign that the singer cannot pull his or her own weight. However, Guru's Jazmatazz uses these guest vocalists efficiently, and his soulful style is not overshadowed.

Local band\'s new album as solid as \'Wood and Steel\'

·

The Deric Rush Band is further proof of the range and depth of the Bloomington music scene. The blues-mixed-with-classic-rock sound is a great listen every time. The music is new, but it has the awesome, true feeling most often associated with the rockers of days past.
