...though I'd love to say that the success of HYPE '96 shows a new energy among undergraduates for matters political, there were those who were lured--and even forced--to the event by clever food orchestration. It was brilliant strategy on the part of the IOP to have the Kirkland, Eliot, and Winthrop dining halls close for lunch and serve outside instead. However, while it was a rather underhanded way to make hundreds of people attend HYPE who might otherwise have not, the crowds definately stayed around longer than they would have for the usual quick lunch...

...Dole have the White House, the Democrats argued, and Newt will be running the country; let us keep it, and Clinton will brake the Gingrich revolution's excesses.

...that the DTV B movies may be lumbering from obscurity into oblivion? We do. There may be no masterpieces (possibly excepting John McNaughton's Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, which achieved theatrical notoriety after release on video), but DTVs offer a few nostalgic pleasures. They are made by clever craftsmen who for next to nothing provide professional gloss and a story no worse than most movies and TV shows. And if you're looking for strong B-movie stars, look no further. Shannon Tweed brings a sensible, almost schoolteacherish seriousness to her roles. Delia Sheppard (Mirror Images...
