...Zuma's victory may be less a result of his own appeal as a candidate than it is is testament to the ire that President Thabo Mbeki arouses among the ANC rank and file. Discipline, once a hallmark of the organization in its days as an underground guerrilla movement, was in scant evidence at a conference whose delegates appeared to be in a state of open revolt, booing and whistling at Mbeki during his opening speech, drowning out Mbeki allies by singing songs in support of Zuma, and delaying the leadership vote for two days in arguments over procedure.

...Elysium,” choreographed by Claudia F. Schreier ’08, was, by far, the best piece of the night. Schreier’s choreography struck the ideal balance between the abstraction typical of modern dance and the visual appeal of classical ballet.
