"We're not doctors or activists or economists," director Chiara Klein '10 said. "We can't go to Haiti to help, as much as we want to. What can we do? We can perform, we can use our skills as artists to at least try and help."

While the new exhibit may have less shock value than Gu's follicular creation, it strives for many of the same goals -- to inspire and interconnect the Dartmouth community, albeit with portraits and videotaped conversations rather than ropes of students' hair.

Gus Van Sant's exceptionally well-crafted biopic about Harvey Milk, the first openly gay, popularly elected official in the United States, would be a great film in any year. Such uncanny political relevance, however, brings the film to life in a way that blurs the line between the 1970s and the 21st century, between history past and present.

"Solace" is the moody, brooding 22nd installment in the illustrious Bond franchise and its first-ever direct sequel, picking up where 2006's smashing success, "Casino Royale," left off.

These may sound like the folksy ruminations of an insincere political candidate vying for votes on the campaign trail, but they belong to a legitimately respected and talented American: New England musical sensation Dar Williams.

Students stopped in their tracks, cars passing on Wheelock Street slowed to a hesitant and curious crawl and impressed local residents retrieved their lawn chairs to gaze at "Dancing" as it debuted Sunday night. Following a discussion with Michalek regarding the creation of his well-known and highly regarded installation, three colossal screens were switched on, flooding Hanover with free art from 8:30 p.m. to midnight.

This Friday, there are actually too many ways to fill the early evening hours in Hanover. The Barbary Coast Jazz Ensemble and the Dartmouth College Chamber Singers will be displaying their talents in two separate shows that, judging by their very distinct rehearsals, will be as different as the Orozco murals and Wenda Gu's infamous hair.

Sonny Rollins, most notably, has his tenor saxophone. The man who many consider to be the last living legend of jazz will be serenading a sold-out Spaulding Auditorium on Sunday, just one week before he jets off to Stockholm, Sweden to accept the Polar Music Prize.

According to the brochure, "'Cusp' is the unraveling of the voice into a chaotic electronic soundscape. Musically, it tries gradually to create a thin line between the acoustic space of the piano and voice and the electronic vocal-oriented space of the recording. Lyrically, it refers to a cathartic rediscovery of self."

Oh, have you not heard of BAMGTP? (Abbreving is so totally hot right now.) They are only the greatest musical unit to be celebrating their 60th reunion since, well, the Dartmouth Aires. Rembert Browne '09 and Annabel Seymour '09, emcees for the night, performed an act about their turbulent, illustrious and completely fictional past -- 60 years' worth -- in between sets of musical masterwork from the Aires and the Decibelles, Dartmouth's oldest male and female a cappella groups respectively.

On Friday FUEL Rocket Lounge will host its first local band performance of the year. No need to stop reading; I'm not talking about a group of Hanover High kids. I'm talking about a band that has been together for seven years, has released five albums, is sold on iTunes and has recorded at the same recording studio as Fall Out Boy and Rod Stewart. Like many of the acts Friday Night Rock has brought this year, this band is, in a word, legitimate.

These last couple weeks are like the seventh-inning stretch of Winter term. So what to do with your last full weekend up in Hanover? Cursing GreenPrint at 4 a.m. in Novack? Check. Hookah at Sigma Nu? Been there. Formal at Sigma Alpha Epsilon? Done that. Free rock show with bands so famous that they're available on iTunes? Well, then this weekend just got interesting.

A look at the list of nominees for the 79th Annual Academy Awards reveals that, despite what many consider to be a strong year, some tried and true conventions remain. After sweeping critic awards, SAGs and BAFTAs alike, a few "dead locks" have emerged; see Helen Mirren for "The Queen" and Forest Whitaker for "The Last King of Scotland." A few key Oscar blockbusters have racked up more than their fair share of nominations; see "The Departed" and "Dreamgirls" (yes, despite the Best Picture snub). Some films seem to merely pepper the list of nominees with a brilliant performance here and there, perhaps belying an otherwise mediocre film; see "Little Children."

"Friday Night Rock ... wait, does that even happen anymore?"

If the forthcoming frigid, dark New Hampshire winter inspires bleak and forlorn feelings, Pedro Almodovar prescribes the art of cinema for your wintertime woes. The Spanish auteur's sentiments are readily apparent in his extensive collection of campy, vibrant and sensational films -- several of which are being re-released by Sony Pictures Classics and brought to Hanover in "Viva Pedro," the Loew Thursday Series for Winter term.

When you finally surrender to studying for those miserable finals and tire of sleeping on the couch because of myriad invading family members, the realization hits that with Thanksgiving comes a limited number of joys: football for some, turkey for others, shopping for the brave few and the universal delight sure to warm the hearts of the "grinchiest" folk, the commencement of the holiday movie season.

With the help of some gifted composers and a dedicated conductor, the Dartmouth Chamber Singers will be doing just that. As magnificent voices suffuse the hall of Rollins Chapel next Friday, the creme de la creme of musical composition from around the globe will find a keen audience in Hanover.

Mike Daisey, who The New York Times hails as an "absolutely hilarious ... comic philosopher," will be bringing his dazzling monologue about studying abroad to Hanover. Expect a raucously good time about the ups and downs and ins and outs of studying abroad, complete with the "adult language and themes" of which the Hopkins Center so carefully warns.

Polar bears. Black smoke. French women. The Dharma Initiative. Claire's baby. Long-lost Walt. Jack and Kate. Sawyer and Kate. Henry Gale. 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42. The hatch. The Others.

As senior Creative Writing majors toured Robert Frost's former home in Franconia, N.H., this past Saturday, the director of Frost Place made a very fitting announcement: Frost's celebrated and prolific collection of poetry was about to incorporate a poem previously unknown and unseen to the world.
