Finishing off their nine day tour in the Midwest, InPulse visited IU Kokomo last week and performed to a fairly large crowd (by our campus’s standards) in the cafeteria. InPulse is an a cappella group that has been together since the fall of 2003. But because they say they break away from traditional conventions, they prefer to be called a “vocal group.” Still, no matter what you call them, their unique sound and vocal variety left students and faculty members entertained as many clapped and sang along to a variety of their songs.

The holidays should be full of love, caring, compassion and celebration. But when you’re trying to find the perfect gift, fighting the crowds, and desperately seeking a parking space, it’s difficult to stay full of good cheer. The holidays are stressful, and anyone who tells you differently never worked or shopped on Black Friday. |

Graffiti is often thought of negatively as a symbol for a deteriorating society. However, it can also be used as a tool for cultural communication, as well as simply another medium of art. This perspective on the form is what IU Bloomington Professor Malcolm Mobutu Smith brought to his October 28th lecture titled “Improv and Invention: Graffiti Art & Its Makers.”
Smith’s lecture, held in the IU Kokomo Art Gallery, served as an extension of the gallery’s latest exhibition: “Writing on the Walls” which depicts political expressions through art. As one of the artists with work on display, the Bloomington professor was able to share his own experiences with the medium to those in attendance.

(IU Kokomo News Release - edited by staff) Political points of view usually come in the way of speeches, debates and even protests – but what about graffiti? “Writing on the Walls”, a traveling exhibit now at Indiana University Kokomo’s Art Gallery, depicts just that – political expressions through graffiti art.
From October 20 through November 19, 2008, the IU Kokomo Art Gallery will be presenting Writing On the Walls, an interactive exploration of graffiti and its influence on democracy and social consciousness in the United States. |

Comedian Michael Palascak performed in the KC Commons on Wednesday the 15th. His audience was small—smaller than he must be used to. The sparse crowd at IU Kokomo can’t compare to the audiences he has performed in front of at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas and the crowds in Chicago and L.A. Unfortunately for all who missed out, this comedian has real talent.
Palascak, 26, who still lives at home with his parents in Chicago, has won HBO’s Lucky 21 Stand-Up Contest, and was the winner of the Chicago region in Comedy Central’s Open Mic Fight. He has also been heard on the “Bob and Tom Show.”
