Dartmouth mainstay Pinkas readies tribute to Schumann, Loeffler

By Erin McDonald | November 1, 2005

On Tuesday at 7 p.m., a sound familiar to many of Dartmouth's music students will fill Spaulding Auditorium, as Dartmouth's resident pianist Sally Pinkas will perform her autumn recital along with guest musicians Steve Larson on viola and Thomas Gallant on oboe. Erma Gattie Mellinger, a member of Dartmouth's music faculty, was scheduled to lend her vocals to the concert, but unfortunately had to drop out due to a lingering illness. Pinkas has taught piano and chamber-music classes at Dartmouth since 1985; in the upcoming spring term, she plans on taking a group of Dartmouth students to London for the foreign study program in music.

Marsalis amazes Dartmouth audience

By Christine Huggins | October 26, 2005

Some may remember Tuesday, Oct. 25 as the day of the first snowfall of the academic year, but more will remember it as the night that world-famous Wynton Marsalis played at Dartmouth. Marsalis' bio took up more than two pages in the program; among other things, he made 40 jazz and classical records, became the first and only artist to win both classical and jazz Grammy Awards and co-founded the jazz program at the Lincoln Center.

'Everything' ends up not as illuminating as its source material

By Christopher Mah | October 24, 2005

Some books just aren't meant to be adapted to the screen, and despite a noble effort by director Liev Schreiber, Jonathan Safran Foer's acclaimed novel "Everything is Illuminated" is one of them. Foer, a 1999 Princeton graduate, burst onto the literary scene with the aforementioned 2002 novel, a loosely autobiographical chronicle of a young man -- also named Jonathan Safran Foer -- and his quest to find a woman named Augustine, whom he believes saved his grandfather from the Nazis.

Claflin Jewelry Studio welcomes both the artsy and the inept

By Laura Romain | October 19, 2005

I entered the Claflin Jewelry Studio without any jewelry-making experience, knowledge or talent. After recovering from the intimidating presence of sharp tools, flame torches, safety goggles and an emergency eye wash, I surveyed the two rows of workbenches for a moment with shop director Jennifer Major, who freely praised the studio's "incredibly varied visitors." Located in the quiet and brightly lit basement of the Hopkins Center for the Arts, the Claflin Jewelry Studio has provided Dartmouth students with access to jewelling materials and instruction since its inception by Erling Heistad in 1966.

The 'Shoes' don't fit: 'chick flick' or not, Hanson's latest is terrible

By A.J. Fox | October 11, 2005

The term "chick flick" gets tossed around a lot these days. In an era of machismo-laden action spectaculars, almost any film where the lipstick upstages the laser guns is instinctively filed in moviegoers' minds alongside movies like "Legally Blonde," "Miss Congeniality 2" and Hugh Grant's entire filmography.
