...Crimson has had trouble restraining a daunting foe named Archibong (Yale's Ime Archibong helped his team beat the Crimson with 19 points), but has also effectively shut down a player who is good friends with a bong (a certain Dartmouth player, who shall remain nameless, seemed to be struggling to overcome an apparently wicked buzz...
More intersted in new works than old classics? Then check out Split Confusion, a one-act comedy by Ned Colby '02, who is also a Crimson editor. The play follows the experiences of Georges Depardiue as he is transported to a nameless place where he meets two copies of both himself and his girlfriend from parallel dimensions.

So make your way to the Adams Pool Theater for laughter and thought all at once...

The consequences are wry, wistful, impermanent. But this wee, discreet little movie has a certain rueful intelligence about the ways we rather carelessly talk ourselves into love--and out of it as well...
