...performers at Dartmouth include a core of 20 professionals from such ensembles as the Houston, St. Louis and Metropolitan Opera orchestras, plus 100 students from Juilliard, Oberlin and other collegiate music centers. The students go partly to rub elbows with the pros, and the pros are drawn by the opportunity to play an eight-week festival of largely contemporary music. "You do get tired of playing Beethoven sonatas," explains Violinist Stuart Canin, who spends his winters as concertmaster of the Philadelphia Chamber Symphony. "Here you can be a creative musician again...
...lengthy list of credited directors appears one "John Huston," who should be and probably is ashamed of himself. The problem--the rub--is that who can resist a cast like that?

...other areas, the police are more flexible. Students and police most often rub shoulders over parking problems, and students are allowed just two warnings and four tickets (one five dollars, the next three ten dollars) before their violations are reported to the administration, an action which may bring loss of driving privileges. The police, however, give out tickets only on Harvard University property, not on Cambridge streets; and even then, says Tonis, "You should be able to talk'em out of it. They're not out to get you. They don't get brownie points for tags...
