2008 Woodie Awards
For many, art is an object protected by theater rope or hung upon a sterile white wall. It is to be appreciated but not touched, and only to be viewed during business hours. It is an activity reserved for those who define themselves as "artists" and often times wear a beret as proof.
Students and faculty members were given the chance to watch 72 minutes of the film Chicago 10 on Tuesday, Sept. 9, at the Bengal Theater.

So what did you eat for breakfast this morning? Did you even eat breakfast? Was your lunch a soda and candy bar from a vending machine on campus? Or was it a burger and fries from MacDonald's?

Judd Apatow has had his name attached to every Hollywood comedy since 2004, and is somewhat versatile in his humor. But he has yet to conquer the black comedy, a lost art-form that Hollywood hardly bothers with. The black comedy is the comedy that makes you uncomfortable while you laugh, because what you are laughing at shouldn't be funny.
Recently, I was afforded the opportunity to watch What's Bugging Seth, an independent film that will play on the ISU Quad (rain site Bengal Theater) on Thursday, Sept. 18, at 9:00 p.m. The movie will also be shown with captions for the hearing impaired. I have to say, I really liked this movie.
John McCain faced a huge character test this past week and failed. He was afforded the opportunity to either do what's right and refuse to play petty and deceptive politics or to score political points by denying the truth and replacing it with a lie.
