...Even though it is a recording, Rewired does show this trippy quality. While the album's blurry red cover art does indicate Lockgroove's hard, masculine sound, it doesn't convey how psychedelic that music can be. It throbs, like a beating red heart. "Come On," a signature track, uses minutes of wavy keyboard woven in with guitar and cymbals to introduce a rhythmic fusion of rock and elecronic music.

Incoming first-years will be much more likely to be convinced that they should try science than mid-year students who have already opted for humanities courses. Indeed, the Science Alliance's niche was in roping young Harvard women into the sciences right at the beginning of their college careers. The panels and speakers, the small group setting, the interaction with upperclass women in the sciences--this sustained barrage gave incoming first-year women the confidence to opt for those tough science...
