Sophomore linebacker Isaiah Kacyvenski led the team with nine tackles, with three tackles for loss. He and the senior defensive line of Chris Schaefer, Jason Hughes, Chris Smith and Fleiszer were stopping runners in the Big Green backfield all afternoon...
Though there has recently been a great growth in interest in the Classics (one that Walker fostered on campus last spring, by participating in the reading from Robert Fagles' new Odyssey that included Fagles and Jason Robards), it is still easy to be skeptical about the relevance of Greek tragedy, especially a very archaizing and formal one, to modern life, and thus to question the value of any such production, no matter how many risks it takes. But the remedy for the doubt is available to anyone willing to admit how exquisitely the work of Euripides, especially The Bacchae, frames...
...Jennifer Jason Leigh is perfectly cast in Agnieszka Holland's adaptation of Henry James's novel. An awkward young woman starved for affection is caught between a cynical, distant father and a spirited but selfish young suitor.

...time for criticism if keeping up with the performance is a priority. At times, Rogers and Denike regroup at center stage to sing, smile and shout in each others' faces, only to split again and head straight for the throbbing audience. Working their way around the leading ladies, guitarist Jason Hammon and bassist Mikey Weiss pump out DHC's musical foundation along with the stationary but flailing drummer Gavin Hammon. Despite the necessity of the male instrumentalists, the dominant presence of the band is the unique female pair that keep the crowd entranced and energized with every beat and syllable...
