The summer arts festival AFRICAS continued its exploration of African cultures on Friday with a tribute to Mahamat Saleh Haroun, a film director from Chad whose feature films "Bye Bye Africa" (1999), "Abouna" (2002) and "Daratt" (2006) have received international acclaim. The Dartmouth Film Society paid tribute to Haroun in an evening that included the presention of the Dartmouth Film Award and a screening of his newest film, "Daratt" (2006). The tribute began with a short and disastrous clip from Haroun's first feature, "Bye Bye Africa," a docu-drama starring Haroun, who plays a fictionalized version of himself, as he returns home following the death of his mother.

Though it may seem to many students that Dartmouth already has a thriving comedy culture, a new organization has emerged to bring more laughs to campus: The Dartmouth Stand-Up Comedy Group.

Unfortunately, as much as the Hood Museum tirelessly advertises its excellent art events, attending a lecture on American glass is simply not at the top of most people's Saturday to-do lists.
Last Thursday, after a particularly long day of coffee-pouring and danish-slinging topped off with a fair bit of lab write-up hell, I was more than ready for the hearty dose of punk noise oblivion offered by Mika-Miko at Friday Night Rock.
