...musicals are not the usual load of high-kicking fluff. One of the four Best Musical contenders, Caroline, or Change, is somber meditation on race relations, focusing on a Jewish boy growing up in the South during the 1960s and his family?s black maid. The second-biggest nomination getter (after the musical Wicked) is Assassins, Stephen Sondheim?s dark musical about the killers or would-be killers of American Presidents.

When the Committee on College Life (CCL) approved H Bomb last week, the proposed magazine made national headlines, and it wasn’t for the articles. The new student publication would address issues of sexuality on campus, but after the CCL signed on, the real attention-getter was the proposal to include nude photographs of undergraduates in its pages. Since then, the committee has announced that it will reconsider H Bomb’s status as an official campus publication, and, reversing its initial decision to let the magazine apply for grants, it has stated that the College will...
