on the IUPUI campus (at the current site of the School of Law-Indianapolis)
in 2003, a year after the art school celebrates its centennial.

That is John Simpson at the keyboard playing the
Student Building bells at IU Bloomington on a recent afternoon.
He also directs the Health Professions and Prelaw Information Center,
which recently won an award from the National Academic Advising
Association that you can read about in today’s "Headliners" section
of Home Pages. An historical note: It was nearly a decade
ago, Dec. 17, 1990, that a fire swept through the Student Building
while the structure was undergoing renovations, destroying about
15 percent of the building’s floor space, including the tower. The
structure, which was soon restored, was vacant at the time and undergoing
a $4.5 million renovation as part of a $29 million overhaul of nine
Old Crescent buildings. The IU Classes of 1899 through 1902 had
raised the funds necessary to install the original bell chimes in
the Romanesque Revival-style building, which was erected in 1905.

Les Miserables, which made its Indiana stage
debut in 1989 at the IU Auditorium in Bloomington, was staged once
again at that location Nov. 14-17. The show entailed 1,000 costume
pieces, six tons of barricades and 422 lighting instruments. Move
over, French Revolution. Those mean streets of Paris, Broadway-style,
are a far piece from the winter wonderland center stage for Holiday
Spectacular on Ice, scheduled Tuesday (Dec. 12).
