...looped beats of disco and funk tracks (think “Rapper’s Delight” and their shameless use of Chic’s “Good Times”), sampling quickly evolved into montage masterworks by artists like EPMD, the Beastie Boys, and De La Soul.But, not surprisingly in our über-litigious country, the golden age of sampling didn’t last. In 1990, Vanilla Ice had his fifteen minutes of shame trying to explain the profound difference between his “Ice Ice Baby” beat and the Queen...
...behavior would trouble Cambridge or Allston residents. The result was an afternoon that included alcohol at UC-sponsored House stein clubs—incidentally, a clever strategy to tie House life to College community—but didn’t require a contingent of supervising cops à la Harvard-Yale. Next year’s organizers might consider adding a Pub Night-style bar that sells beer to of-age upperclassmen (one common complaint was that the afternoon’s buzz was long gone by 8 p.m.), but only provided the increased supervision doesn?...

Regardless of the means chosen, the ends would be to create a parallel endowment not measured in dollars in foreign investment funds, but in our professors’ wealth of knowledge. And we might even be able to trace our next Frost’s inspiration right...
Pineda has answered her calling to leadership this year, assuming co-directorship of both BFA and Presencia Latina, as well as choreographing two pieces—“Jesusita” and “La Bamba”—which BFA will perform in the show. In choreographing “Jesusita,” a traditional Mexican piece from the era of the Mexican Revolution, Pinada has been able to return to the women’s dancing she loved so much as a child. She emphasizes the presence of “several twirls...
