Happy Birthday, Cat in the Hat!
"I know it is wet/ And the sun is not sunny./ But we can have/ Lots of good fun that is funny!" Guess WHO turns 50 today (March 2)? It's the Cat in the Hat, and he remains just as endearing to children today as he did 50 years ago, when Dr. Seuss published his now-classic response to another author's challenge to write a story that "first graders wouldn't be able to put down." To help celebrate the special occasion, Live at IU discussed The Cat in the Hat and its enduring appeal with George Bodmer, chair of the English Department at Indiana University Northwest and recognized authority on children's literature, Dr. Seuss and Maurice Sendak.

Tibetan singing bowls, analog computers, electronic synthesizers ... and Jell-O? Who knew that you could mold the mixture of arts and technology into so many variations? As part of the annual ArtsWeek celebration at Indiana University Bloomington and the City of Bloomington, the campus will host a concert on March 3 of crystal and Tibetan bowls with vocal toning by world-renowned jazz singer and IU alumna Janiece Jaffe, local teacher and healer Syndee Eartheart and IUB computer scientist Jonathan Mills. "In the 1950s, they'd be using my computer to make nuclear weapons," Mills says. "Not what am I doing? I'm making music. I just don't know where technology will take us."

Although Ed Paschke is not a household name, David Russick, Herron Galleries curator/director, believes one day Paschke will be as famous as Picasso or Monet. A pop artist, Paschke created images that focused on American celebrity and history, while he explored issues of identity, race and fame. His unique, vividly colored images were heavily influenced by the pop artists of the 1960's--particularly Andy Warhol. The IUPUI Herron School of Art and Design is bringing Paschke's work to Indianapolis in the exhibit, Ed Paschke Nonplussed: Paintings 1967-2000. "When you are looking at a Paschke, there is almost a sense of mystery or hidden identity," Russick said. "It's almost like meeting someone wearing a mask and you're pretty sure you know who it is, but maybe you're wrong. Paschke's work will kind of do that to you too. It's very seductive and sometimes it's a little off."

Picture, if you will, the academic library of the future. Commissioned by the Molesworth Institute, it will be housed at Ezra Beesley University, scheduled to open in 2007. This library houses no books, only computers containing all of the information from all of the books in the world. Naturally, the Molesworth Institute doesn't exist. It was meant as a parody of the modernization of libraries, says Patricia Costlow Steele, Interim Ruth Lilly Dean of University Libraries at Indiana University. Read about the libraries of our future in this Indiana Alumni Magazine article.
