...despite the aesthetic mystery of their pealing, the Lowell House bells embody something visceral and powerful that falls altogether outside the realm of music. Standing high above Harvard on an open platform and ringing the "Red Bell of Pestilence and Famine" is, Aara will tell you, an exhilarating experience. The 17 bells range from one to 13 feet in diameter, and when they are rung every beam of the tower trembles. The largest bell, the Mother Earth Bell, weighs 13 tons. It is rung at the beginning and end of each concert and it takes two people standing inside...
Vermont, expected to be a high scoring team, started the year with a flash. It split a pair of 7-4 games, losing at UNH to open the season and defeating Boston University. Jerry Gernander scored four goals against the Terriers...
...Insider opens in theaters today, and it officially gets the Oscar race underway. After all, the Oscar race officially begins once three worthy Best Picture nominees have opened (that's totally an arbitrary definition, but who cares!).

...Being John Malkovich is wack. And I don't mean that it's incomprehensible--like Mission Impossible or The Thin Red Line. The movie is so deliberately logical and well thought out that you find yourself nodding with your mouth wide open in shock. (You gotta love Spike Jonzes. First came that prank he pulled on the MTV Video Music Awards as a slightly retarded "dance troupe" leader, then came the scene-stealing in Three Kings and now prancing Malkoviches! He might single-handedly move us out of the Adam Sandler/Farrelly Brothers gross-out comedy era.) Critics are comparing...
...Harvard's only all-poetry review, The Gamut's goal is to provide "an open poetic forum" for the enormous amount of poetry that is submited to Harvard's student publications. Poetry of any length, style or form is welcome; there is no specific focus on content. Translations are also published. The openess of the review process produces a collection remarkable for its variety and quality of style and substance. The Gamut accepts work from the Harvard undergrads, grad students, and faculty. Submissions are accepted at the Woodberry Poetry Room or via email (mrhee...
