OPINION: Should Chiang stay? Or should Chiang go?

Last week Purdue faculty wrote a letter calling for Provost Patrick Wolfe’s resignation. The letter presented a slurry of justified condemnations and concerns mixed all together with rage as a binding agent. I’m with the faculty. I hate to see the things they list at my university — everything from a lack of deans to losing large government grants to overall discrimination, censorship, and secrecy.

REVIEW: ‘It's Never Over,’ a tribute to Jeff Buckley

Named one of the greatest singers of all time by Rolling Stone Magazine, Jeff Buckley is recognized as one of the ‘90s most striking talents. From Buckley's diverse vocal range, to his resonating lyricism, he was an ethereal voice that was unheard of for its time. In director Amy Berg's intimate and somber film, “It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley,” Berg showcases his charismatic spirit as well as his technical skill.

LETTER: Lot 403 closure impacting Herron students

The insensitive manner in which the closure of lot 403 has been handled by IU authority is extremely distasteful to Herron Students. As ceramic and sculpture majors, the Eskenazi Fine Arts Center is home to our studios and valuable facilities that we rely on to pursue our education.

Review: ShinDig, a bite and party for just about anyone

As the weather transitions to windy days and brighter colors of leaves, a new cuisine sensation has trickled into the outskirts of the downtown Indianapolis area. Located on 1351 Roosevelt Ave. with its entrance facing away from the road, diners may be deceived from seeing it entirely. But enter from the south side, and they will find themselves in front of Cunningham Restaurant Group’s newest feat: ShinDig.

OPINION: The end of school shootings starts with local action

As of Oct. 23, there have been 58 school shootings. That is almost six shootings for every month of 2024 so far. One of the most recent tragedies was the shooting in Apalachee High School on Sept. 4 killing two students and two staff members. In light of these events, and the upcoming election, many people are asking what can be done to prevent events like those seen at Apalachee from happening again.

Opinion: Five Palestinian poets for National Poetry Month

 Now that we’ve entered the seventh month of Israel’s attack on Gaza, I completely understand the people who say it’s pointless to read and enjoy poetry. While it is certainly not a replacement for attending protests, emailing representatives and donating to relief organizations, I believe that poetry has the incredible capacity to criticize and dismantle oppressive structures and ideologies. Poems serve as a rallying cry; they give voices to the voiceless and allow people to empathize with those who have different experiences from theirs.

Review: “Oppenheimer,” a biopic worth your time

“Oppenheimer” is the latest in the stream of biopics the film industry has produced in the last few years, but, unlike the smash hits “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “Rocketman,” “Oppenheimer” tackles a different kind of “rockstar.” The film is the most recent entry in Nolan’s filmography, joining the critically acclaimed ranks of “Dunkirk,” “Memento” and “The Dark Knight” trilogy, in addition to many others, and it seems that critics agree it will be put up as one of Nolan’s absolute best movies to date.
