Now & Then: Gender Relations

The University of Notre Dame was established as an all-male institution in 1842. Though women were admitted to the university in 1972, the men of early Notre Dame marked their territory on this campus. Their continuing legacy is reflected in the skewed gender relations present on campus today.

There's nothing worse than a dangerous old man'

In more than 30 years in the music business, John Mellencamp has learned how to work a crowd. With plenty of charm, and more than a couple good jokes, the native Hoosier had the packed audience in the palm of his hand Saturday at his excellent performance at the Morris Performing Arts Center.

Music Under the Radar: Videos

The Situation: Music hunters seek, read, blog and cull music from radio, print and, most often, the interwebs. Music gatherers collect mix CDs, free digital downloads, and whatever their friends happen to be listening to. If you are a gatherer, this space is for you. If you are a hunter, e-mail me your latest find, and I promise you'll find it written up here. (Seriously. E-mail. Even if you're not a student.)

Skyline': A disaster of epic proportions

This alien sci-fi film may go down in history as one of the worst movies ever, with the likes of "Killer Clowns From Outer Space," "Lawnmower 2: Beyond Cyberspace" and "The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies!!?"

Fashion by Felicia

There is nothing more exhilarating than attention to detail. What do I mean by this? Exhibit A: East Entrance to Hesburgh Library one dreary fall afternoon. A high heel-clad fashion devotee, laden with a satchel full of books, left arm cradling a mass of notebooks and her faithful agenda, with her right hand clutching her mid-day caffeine fix (a large latte), approaches the doors which will lead to a long evening of research and study. As she looks up, approaching from said library's interior appears one of her male collegiate counterparts. Thank goodness, she thinks, a gallant knight come to open the doors for me to the temple of knowledge! Alas, ‘tis not to be. Said young man opens said door in question, exits hurriedly, ignoring this damsel in distress, and strides away.

This show, consisting of three parts, reflects Mellencamp's different achievements and levels of artistry.

Due Date' doesn't disappoint

Robert Downey, Jr. and Zach Galifianakis star in this "Rat Race"-like story of a man racing across the country before his wife gives birth to their first-born child. Galifianakis revisits his character as the unintentionally funny guy he played in "The Hangover" and "It's Kind of a Funny Story," while Downey, Jr. is an arrogant, overambitious architect traveling back to Los Angeles after taking a business trip to Atlanta. The two actors work incredibly well together, feeding off each other nicely in this comedy.
