By Aditya Dutt | September 21, 1995

The first half of the concert included Four Ariettes by Alessandro Scarlatti, Five Lieder from "Des Knaben Wunderhorn" by Gustav Mahler and Cinco canciones populares Argentinas.

A grab-bag of reporting on the new and upcoming like "Crumb" (1994) and "Smoke" (1995) and the old like "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" (1969), a forgotten James Bond movie, Cahiers du Dartma is sure to satisfy any student's reading palette.

'Midsummer' portrays passion, bawdy humor

By Colin Grey | July 31, 1995

The Dartmouth Players infused their latest production, "A Midsummer Night's Dream" by William Shakespeare, with a full measure of passion and bawdy humor. Friday's performance was both farcical and sensual (though at times it took on the appearance of a music video, with enough writhing on-stage to rival MTV), but most importantly, it was crowd-pleasing. From start to finish, this latest production does a good job not only of preventing Shakespeare's sometimes convoluted plot twists from getting onerous, but of making the bard funny, even in iambic pentameter. The mortal cast carries off most of the jokes with great comic dexterity.

Vermonter tries to stay on track

By Tim Fitzgibbons | July 27, 1995

Despite a slow start, the Vermonter train, Amtrak's replacement for the now-defunct Montrealer train, is doing fairly well but still needs to increase its ridership, according to Vermont Transportation authorities. Vermont Deputy Transportation Secretary Glen Gershanek told the Valley News that Vermonter revenue during its first two months was $335,000, "within striking distance of achieving first-year receipts of $2.4 million, the point where the state subsidy could begin to be reduced." In the same article, Amtrak's marketing vice president Richard Donnely said the railroad company will try to market the train toward tourists, by having promotional fares, painted traincars and local advertisements. In June, Donnely said the train averages about 80 passengers a day.

Davis' work highlights the reality of domestic violence

By Gisela Insuaste | July 27, 1995

Meredith Davis vividly displays a disturbing aspect of our society in her installation titled "Family Values" in the Barrow's Rotunda at the Hopkins Center for the Performing Arts. Her installation violates our comfort zones by blatantly exposing the horrific side of family life, the domestic and sexual violence that exists in seemingly perfect home settings. From across the Green, the image of children's laundry hung on clotheslines is captivating.
