Perhaps the best resource the Outing Club has to offer, however, is the members' fountain of information about camping, rock-climbing, kayaking, ice, climbing, snow-shoeing, expedition leadership and more that they willingly share with novices. "We provide equipment, but most importantly we are a communications network. We have no goal for experiences--we just provide everything for people to do what they want," says alumni adviser Jean Andres '68. "If someone wants to get away, we're there to help them...
...much of Orlando's appeal lies in the sheer playfulness with which Sellars has approached it. Where the original staging calls for Zoroastro the magician to conjure up a fountain to hide a furtive lover, Sellar's project supervisor summons up a drinking fountain, from which Angelica casually takes a sip. In the conclusion of the original, when Zoroastro calls for a potion, he receives it from the claws of an eagle descending out of the sky.

True to form, this batch of maidens comes merrily onstage, chirping away with nothing graver on their minds than their "fleeting leisure"--all except one. While her sisters hop and dance at the front of the stage, she lingers behind to collect samples of leaves and sand and record prissy little...
Ponce de León's story used to be good for a smile. A fountain of youth? Bartender, let's have another martini. On second thought, make that a double "designer" water-Perrier, Saratoga, Poland Springs-and make it snappy; everyone must get home early. There are morning miles to run and dance classes to attend and weights to lift. These days old Ponce would have swum to Bimini and jogged through Florida. And felt better for it, whether he found that pesky fountain...
