Jeff Evans Movie and Music Critic Rarely does a film so intricately woven speak so freely to its audience. An on-screen adaptation of the novel by Charles Baxter, “Feast of Love” serves up a buffet of human emotions: love, loss, desire, infidelity, regret and redemption. Be prepared to pay close attention. Helmed by three-time Oscar-winner Robert Benton, the movie entwines the relationships of a community centered in Portland, Oregon. Narrated by the omniscient designated driver of drama, Morgan Freeman once again shows wisdom through his authoritative figure. Photo courtesy of movies.nytimes.com.

Brad Michael Negulescu World News Editor This summer I took a trip to Chicago. I had never visited the Windy City and I must admit I was very impressed. Chicago is what a midwestern industrial big city should be. The city is clean, growing and pretty. The lakefront should be an example to any major city that sits next to a Great Lake. After visiting a city that seemed to have it so together, I was a little disappointed when I returned home and saw Cleveland as I descended from my very pleasurable Southwest flying experience. Don’t get me wrong, I love Cleveland. It is my home and will always be. Like most who come from here, I will always take pride in being born and bred in this perfect example of Middle America.

Join The Carroll News [email protected] 21 The Carroll News Editorialwww.wjcu.org/cn October 4, 2007 Editorial Stadium field woes An ongoing dispute between John Carroll University and the surrounding community concerns Shula Stadium. The most recent version of the controversy will prevent JCU from hosting an upcoming high school game between Cleveland Heights and Shaker Heights. On August 27, the University Heights City Council unani- mously approved a plan for JCU to host the game. However, on September 4, four residents near the stadium complained that there would be too much noise. They also stated that there was a lack of sufficient notice for community input prior to the council making their decision. At some point, JCU’s neighbors need to become more neighborly. If a decision is passed in University Heights, JCU should be able to rely on it. This is “University Heights” and it is just as much as residents’ homes as it is JCU’s home. The game has been relocated to Cleveland Heights High School. The main reason for the relocation was that Shaker Heights school officials felt there was not enough time to “iron out the details,” which appears to be code for a perceived inability to resolve the residents’ complaints prior to the game. One might sympathize with the residents given the potential volume of excited fans. This also includes additional traffic and noise as people enter and exit the stadium. However, millions of dollars were spent to renovate Shula Stadium for its 2003 reopening, much of it spent to make the stadium compatible with the requests of neighbors. JCU has been NOTABLE QUOTABLE on its current site since 1935. We’ve been playing football games on campus for decades. The city is named after the University. Universities attract young men and women. They also attract major events. For those that cannot tolerate that, perhaps there “I want to express my spiritual closeness are more suitable places for them to relocate. to the dear population in this moment of Editorial the very painful trial it is going through. ” Homecoming success -Pope Benedict XVI, in response to the arrest of pro-democracy leader This year’s John Carroll University Homecoming Week saw Aung San Suu Kyi in Myanmar.
