Mechanicals have found success in minimalist Shakespeare

November 28, 2011

Gavin Huang / The Dartmouth Staff Editor's Note: This is the third installment in a four-part series profiling the origins of several student performance groups on campus.

Hear and Now

By Matt Garczynski | November 28, 2011

As my high school's resident music snob, I remember quite a few instances in which I tried to explain how Wyclef Jean got his chorus for "Sweetest Girl (Dolla Bill)." "Cash rules everything around me" and "dolla' dolla' bill, y'all," I would explain, are lines from the Wu-Tang Clan's track titled "C.R.E.A.M." Furthermore, the line "I'ma tell you like Wu told me" is almost directly lifted from Bone Thugs-n-Harmony and Notorious B.I.G.'s "Notorious Thugs." My classmates seemed less than willing to lend an ear to my enlightening words and told me to get a life and/or girlfriend.

DHMC cancer patients find support in writing

By Kate Sullivan | November 16, 2011

Maggie Rowland / The Dartmouth Staff Visitors walking into Auditorium G in the Norris Cotton Cancer Center were greeted by the sprightly music of a lute player on Wednesday evening, as friends and family members exchanged hugs prior to reading their creative writing at "Poems of Illness and Healing." The event was the first of its kind to take place at the hospital, according to poetry workshop teacher Marv Klassen Landis, who works for Patient and Family Support Services at the cancer center. "The goal of the evening is to celebrate and honor people's creativity and courage," Landis said.

As Seen On: There's nothing funny about these TV collapses

By Rena Sapon-White | November 16, 2011

If I had it my way, Holly Flax (Amy Ryan) would have instead stolen away Ted Mosby (Josh Radnor) of "How I Met Your Mother" to Colorado, leaving Michael Scott (Steve Carrell) to continue flourishing in "The Office." Both shows are approaching their demise, although "The Office" could have carried on had Carrell not ditched his Dunder Mifflin employees in search of some comedic Zion that he clearly hasn't found yet. Andy Bernard (Ed Helms), now the regional manager, once existed as a testament to the hilarity that surely ensues when an Ivy League a cappella bro is thrown into the real world and the real economy.
