Shultz '09 explores College class divide with jewelry

Joanne Cheung / The Dartmouth Editor's Note: This is the third installment in a three-part series profiling senior honors candidates in studio art. Since her freshman year, studio art major and honors candidate Dulce Shultz '09 noticed that many Dartmouth students strive to seem well connected by "name-dropping." She often saw students from lower- and middle-class families concealing their backgrounds in order to fit in with their wealthy peers at Dartmouth.

Stumbling into art, Collins-Fernandez '09 deconstructs painting

Joanne Cheung / The Dartmouth Editor's Note: This is the second installment in a three-part series profiling senior honors candidates in studio art. When she was a child, Gabriela Collins-Fernandez '09 often brought her friends to New York museums for three- or four-hour playdates. Now as an artist at Dartmouth, she rebels against the masters she admired in those days, stripping paintings down to their basic elements and piecing them back together in her work. Collins-Fernandez '09, a candidate for honors in studio art, strives to redefine the medium of painting by separating the traditional elements such as oils, acrylics and finishings.

Students stay up all night for WiRED, immersed in theater

Andy Foust / The Dartmouth Staff At eight o'clock Saturday morning, while most of campus was still sleeping off Friday night, a small group of dedicated student actors filtered into the Bentley Theater at the Hopkins Center for the Arts. There they joined three pairs of playwrights and directors who had spent the last 12 hours chugging coffee as they penned three short plays for this Fall term's WiRED -- a theatrical challenge that invites its participants to write, cast, rehearse and perform plays within a 24-hour period once every term. As usual, the final product, performed at eight o'clock Saturday evening in the Bentley, provided plenty of laughs.

Lifetime-bound 'Runway' wraps up unimpressive fifth season

|

Courtesy of Demonoid.com It's curtains for "Project Runway!" Last Wednesday's landmark episode marked the end of season five and, quite possibly, Project Runway as we know it. Project Runway is embroiled in a nasty legal battle over a lucrative, five-year deal that its producers signed in April with Lifetime, taking the show away from Bravo, which has carried it since it began in 2004. Filming for season six is well underway, but the show may well find itself homeless once production wraps.
