Unknown vandals wreck artwork

By Tara Kyle | February 25, 2002

Vandalism Friday night devastated the work of student artists in the sculpture, architecture and painting studios of Clement Hall, as well as the Hopkins Center's print-making shop and the new AREA gallery space at the Top of the Hop. The person or persons responsible appeared to systematically target studio art interns and senior majors, using yellow spray and oil paint to deface most works in sight. The graffiti on individual pieces was often slight, but care was taken to hit every piece.

Lenten Follies

By Matt Soriano | February 25, 2002

Now that Mardi Gras has come and gone, those poor fools among us, me included, who still remember Sunday School lessons in lieu of Powerpoint outlines will acknowledge that Lent -- the buildup to the Easter, holiest day in the Christian year -- is now upon us.

Justified and ancient: AAM delights Spaulding crowd

By David Jain | February 25, 2002

On a special tour through America, the Academy of Ancient Music enchanted a full audience of concertgoers last night in Spaulding Auditorium. Conducted by Christopher Hogwood and joined by fortepianist Robert Levin, the performance was a beautiful blend of classical performance with a contemporary approach to perfection. The repertoire included a number of brilliant pieces from the everlasting scribe, Mozart. Bringing together a world-renowned ensemble of performers, the Academy represents a traditional approach to playing music.

To the Editor: The Dartmouth's editorial board and its reporter have done a dishonor to their own organization's alumni, to themselves and to the College community in reporting the Zeta Psi fraternity matter.

Change From Within

By Devin Dwyer | February 25, 2002

To the Editor: Upon reading Charles Gardner's Feb. 14 article in The Dartmouth, entitled "Inferior athletic facilities frustrate Dartmouth students," I was not surprised that "prospects for any expansion," or any improvement for that matter, of the Kresge Fitness Center seem dim.

Modern Ovid a change from the tragic to the comic

By Christopher Moore | February 22, 2002

The "Metamorphosis," Ovid's story-bag of shiftings -- usually about people turning into trees and other assorted foliage -- could never be produced in full. With a hundred tales that span over 15 books (in dactylic hexameter!), any director should have to drop such stories as Orpheus and his lyre, Pygmalion and his lovely statue, and Leda the Swan. The most recent production of Ovid's work, by Northern Stage in White River Junction, however, does not drop the most important part: the beach party. Just as the theme of "Metamorphosis" is change, it is also water, that most polymorphic of substances.

Isaak returns to studio in style with 'Always Got Tonight'

By Mark Sweeney | February 22, 2002

Chris Isaak is an enigma in today's metal, pop and hip-hop dominated music scene. Drawing heavily upon the styles of such rock pioneers as Roy Orbison and Elvis Presley, Isaak has created his own alluring brand of modernized vintage rock and roll. On "Always Got Tonight," his first studio release in four years, Isaak shows that after 17 years of honing his craft he has an undeniable mastery over his musical direction and songcraft. The album boasts some of Isaak's best work to date and as a whole the record easily ranks among his crowning achievements. The opening track, "One Day," is an ideal introduction.

Colonize This

By Anil Antony | February 22, 2002

I'll admit it. I've become something of an Olympics addict over the past week or so. Last night, after finding myself hypnotized by Michelle Kwan and giggling childishly at Irena Slutskaya (she's got a funny name), I began to wonder, "Hey, why are there no great Indian Winter Olympians?
