...play details the characters' struggle with this concept of roleplaying and asks whether they have any freedom given the certainty of their fates. Antigone is therefore a largely verbal affair, but the first few scenes establish a questionable tone. Mike Weidman '02, who plays the Chorus, is loud, clear and expressive, but so smarmy as he introduces the play that one would expect him to be quite knowingly introducing a bad Saturday Night Live sketch rather than Anouilh's searching parable. Beatrice Kitzinger '03, Caitlin Harrington '03 and Liz Clinkenbeard '01, as Antigone, her sister Ismene, and her nurse, respectively...
...Thursday's selling didn't have the resolute quality of the day before - it was a halting affair all morning and seemed to be sputtering by lunch.

"Chutney Popcorn," an independent, low-budget affair, presents real people experiencing hot-button issues and not speechifying about them...
...instead write $30 checks to the council treasury. Similarly, if no students would be harmed by a hike in a voluntary termbill, the council should maximize its revenue by raising the fee until it could no longer convince students to pay. By portraying the termbill as a purely individual affair, the staff forgets that it represents a common obligation that we as students and beneficiaries are honor-bound, although not required, to bear...
