Marion-based band Owlsburg smoothly transitions through various styles of alternative rock, from U.K. shoegaze to ‘90s grunge. Odes to Nirvana and other early ‘90s bands trickle through Owlsburg's compositions. The track "I Believe" ends with the melody "All in all is all we are," derived from the Nirvana song, "All Apologies." The trio has mastered the art of slowly building up the spirit of a song whilst combining reverb-driven guitar with airy, quiet vocals. Elements of post-rock, ambient, shoegaze and drone give the music an almost meditative quality.

Collaboration is like learning how to juggle. Tossing and catching one ball is easy enough, but the more that are added, the harder it becomes to control and keep track of everything.
College students should be active in local issues because we're young, energetic and full of ideas. Too often, though, we must sit idly by while politicians screw everything up. Such is the case involving Muncie's animal shelter.

As spring brings warm weather back to Indiana, students across campus start to once again bring out their bicycles. One student, though, prefers one wheel instead of two. On any given day, Matthew Deinlein, a freshman special needs education major, can be seen riding his unicycle to and from classes. Deinlein's interest in the unicycle began in high school when his gym teacher, Juli Speer, brought hers into class one day for students to try. She later gave him his own unicycle as a graduation present.

For THEAT 319 — Modern Theatre History — my class has just finished reading the play "Death of a Salesman" by Arthur Miller. While discussing the play, my professor mentioned, with an uneasy laugh, that it was ironic that Miller crafted the character Linda as an empathetic character, who resembled his late wife Marilyn Monroe when he certainly wasn't empathetic towards her.
We've finally got other butts to talk about. Ball State officials call the ban a success, and records show about two-and-a-half citations are written each month, normally near residence halls. Really, this ban has turned out to not be as big a deal than it was when it was being debated.
A partial smoking ban started two years ago to clear the air around campus has succeeded, university officials say, though none of the money raised in fines has gone to help students quit smoking, as planned.
