When Dylan plugged his guitar in at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965, he made an indelible mark on rock history. Yet in today's ubiquity of electric sound, it is sometimes difficult to imagine the revolutionary change that one concert represented.
"Living Out Loud" is the ambitious, if deeply flawed, directorial debut of screenwriter Robert LaGravenese. Over the past 10 years, LaGravenese has accumulated an impressive, if variegated, collection of screen credits to his name, such as "The Fisher King," "The Mirror Has Two Faces," "The Bridges of Madison County" and, more recently, "The Horse Whisperer" and "Beloved."
Nearly a hundred films about the Vietnam War have been made since the early 1970s. A few of these, like "Apocalypse Now," "Platoon" and "Born on the Fourth of July," have received considerable praise from critics and are already considered classics of American popular culture.

Well, I for one am very excited that former professional wrestler Jesse "The Body" Ventura (who, as of last Wednesday, wishes to be known as "Jesse the Mind") is now the new governor of Minnesota. I am glad that voters in at least one state decided what I have felt for some time: neither of the two standard options is that good, so you may as well vote for someone fun.
With offerings like cooking and ballroom dancing lessons, e-mail messages from the 2001 Class Council lately resemble a brochure from the Collis Miniversity.
"They're probably 100-times overkill for sending BlitzMail," Randy Spydell said of new iMacs being used as public BlitzMail terminals. "But the fact is: you can't buy 100-times less of a personal computer these days."
Sarah Billmeier '99, a three-time medal recipient in the Paraolympics as a member of the U.S. Disabled Ski Team, spoke about her experience as a disabled athlete at Friday's Community dinner, "Disabled Athletes and Extreme Sports Challenges."

For a documentary that lacks the financial resources of feature-length films, "Vietnam Long Time Coming" captures with intensity and poignancy the emotionally charged journey of a group of Vietnamese and American, disabled and able-bodied veterans on a 1200 mile cycling journey across Vietnam.
One second, one goal. That's all that separated the Dartmouth men's hockey team from a playoff birth last season. A last second, overtime goal by St. Lawrence in the last weekend of ECAC action set into play the improbable scenario that kept the Big Green out of the hotly contested ECAC post-season picture.
This was supposed to be the get- well game for Dartmouth. With 2-5 Columbia coming into town for the final home game, the Big Green would get to toy with their fellow cellar-dwellers and regain some of the pride that has been lost over the past few weeks.
Coed Fraternity and Sorority Council, Class Councils, the Collis Governing Board, the Committee on Student Organizations, Dartmouth College Athletic Department, the Hop, the Programming Board, the Office of Residential Life, the Student Assembly and Student Life. What do these groups have in common? They all receive funding from the UFC -- another Dartmouth acronym whose purpose many people do not know. UFC stands for the Undergraduate Finance Committee which will allocate $475,000 this year. The $475,000 comes out of everyone's pocket in the form of a student activities fee of $38.50 each term which the UFC receives. One might think that the College allocates funds to the UFC, but instead the College allocates $0. Nada. Nothing. A College with a $1,000,000,000 endowment does not allocate any of its funds to student activities? How can this be? There must be a reason.
