Col. Bogey's beats par

|

For golfers and non-golfers alike Colonel Bogey's at the Hanover Country Club offers a fresh alternative to dining at Dartmouth, and since Colonel Bogey's is run by Dartmouth Dining Services, you can use your student identification card to pay for the meal. Located to the right of the Pro Shop, Colonel Bogey's has an indoor seating capacity of 12, but additional seating can be found outside on the terrace overlooking the first and 18th holes. Place your order at the grill inside, and while you wait, you can watch the big screen television or the golfers outside.

Summerphonics form

|

The Summerphonics, a singing group made up of the sophomore members of the Dartmouth Dodecaphonics and other campus singers will begin rehearsals this week. They will soon be adding harmony to barbecues and other summer events. The group, directed by Leslie Jennings '96, held auditions Sunday and chose seven new members to add to the seven Dodecs on campus this summer. The seven Dodecs are sophomores Jeneen DiBenedetto, Nina Fallon, Jorge Motoshige, Jennings, Kelii Opulauoho, Brad Parks and Dave Kaiser '93. Some of the new members sing in other campus groups like the Aires or the Glee Club, but that "had no real impact on the decision," said Parks, who is the group's business manager. The Summerphonics have been on campus the past six Summer terms, Jennings said.

Summer concerts abound

|

This summer looks like a good one for concerts, as many major acts are making their way to New Hampshire. Perhaps it is the recession, but older bands seem to be more and more willing to head to the smaller areas to do what they do best. Popular artists like Bod Dylan, Crosby, Stills and Nash, the Eagles, the Grateful Dead, Santana, Steely Dan and Traffic all planning to perform reasonably close to the College. In Vermont Phish will be playing in Sugarbush, Vt., on July 16, followed by Bonnie Raitt on the 17th. Stratton, Vt., will feature the Crash Test Dummies on July 2nd, the Indigo Girls on July 3rd, Bob Dylan on the 12th and Art Garfunkel on the 23rd. In the month of August, Stratton will feature a Blues Fest on the 20th, Howie Mandel on the 26th, Tim McGraw on the 27th and Peter, Paul and Mary on the 30th. Great Woods A little further from Hanover at Great Woods in Mansfield, Mass., one can find a larger number of big acts.

Brown '93: a thriving artist

|

Studying art at a liberal arts college can be a liability for some aspiring young artists because of constraints on studio time, but for many students the possibilities of enhancing their work with the knowledge gained from various areas of study is an advantage.

Hood flaunts newly acquired masterpiece

|

A recent arrival to the Hood Museum's permanent collection has inspired a new exhibit, "Northern European Artists in Italy, 1550-1800," located in the Albright Gallery until July 17. Flemish artist Denys Calvaert's "The Holy Family with John the Baptist" is the center of attention in this exhibit, which showcases art by northern European artists inspired by Italian artistic ideals. According to Richard Rand, the curator of the exhibit, the museum acquired the painting at an auction at Sotheby's in New York in January.

Latina isues enacted

|

Saturday night's production of "Beautiful Senoritas," a modernized rendition of the original written in the1970s by Cuban playwright Dolores Prida, filled Collis Common Ground with students restless with the Green Key Weekend spirit. There was a huge turnout, and extra chairs had to be set up to provide overflow seating.

Barbary Coast seniors bid farewell with finesse

|

Perhaps one of the most heartwarming and exciting events of a busy Green Key weekend was the annual Barbary Coast "Senior Feature" concert. It was unusual because it focussed all attention on the reservoir of talented musicians graduating this spring, and memorable because of the creativity and skill of all the band members. The seven seniors whose solo perfomances were showcased included trumpeters Laura Iwan '93, Mike McClure '94, Allison Kornet '94; saxophonists Eric Portland '94, Kirk Miller '94, Rick Moss T'94, and drummer Sean Paley '94.

Gender issue on stage

|

The students of Nuestras Voces worked in a collaborative effort to put together the contemporary, fast-paced, humorous production of "Beautiful Senoritas," a play written by Dolores Prida and directed by Patricia Herrera '96, with assistence provided by Drama Professor Paul Gaffney. The play is multifaceted in that it does not restrict its focus to the interests and lifestyle of members of the Latino or Hispanic community.

Wind Symphony charms audience

|

The Mother's Day audience for Sunday's Dartmouth Wind Symphony performance of "Theatrical Music" may not have expected smoke, champagne, dance and howls; but they were charmed nonetheless with conductor Max Culpepper's multi-media approach. Subtitled "Music from the Avant Garde" and billed as an unusual, unique concert, the symphony used the whole of Spaulding Auditorium and many theatrical elements to explore various moods and worlds, including that of a recondite cave and an active, dark forest. The afternoon's concert began with a jazz-rock piece titled "Cave of the Winds" by Russell Peck.
