Doug Gonzalez / The Dartmouth Senior Staff Doug Gonzalez / The Dartmouth Senior Staff Perhaps it was the floating chairs that caught the eye of Eric Waskowicz '14, but it was most likely the 50-plus cans of Keystone beer that prompted him to snap a quick cell phone picture of "The Juggler," a carefully balanced sculpture by studio art intern Max Heiges '10. "When I saw it, I just thought Yeah, that's Dartmouth,'" Waskowicz said. The sculpture first appeared in the Barrows Rotunda in the front of the Hopkins Center on Sept.

Soo Jee Lee / The Dartmouth Soo Jee Lee / The Dartmouth Over the weekend, the Dartmouth Rude Mechanicals, Dartmouth's student-run Shakespeare company, pulled audiences at their fall show through the whirlwind of drama, action and comedy found in "The Tempest." Performing three shows over Saturday and Sunday in Occom Commons, the Mechanicals drew an audience of 220 students and community members. "The Tempest" tells the story of Prospero, the Duke of Milan (played by Bill Calder '12), who has been stranded on an island with his daughter Miranda (Sophia Archibald '13) after being unseated by his brother Antonio (Max Hunter '13) and the king, Alonso of Naples (Torrey Barrett '13). Archibald is a member of The Dartmouth staff. Using supernatural powers, Prospero brings all of the parties involved in his overthrow to the island more than a decade later.
