...busy weekend will see 2,000 snowmobilers buzzing the approaches to Old Faithful, their engines filling the subzero air with a cacophony of chain-saw whines and casting a blue haze against the stands of lodgepole pines. "We are turning a national park into a national playground," complains D.J. Schubert, a biologist for the Fund for Animals, which is threatening to sue the Interior Department...
HAVE YOU WONDERED why there seems to be so much Schubert in the air? Jan. 31, 1997 was the 200th anniversary of Franz Schubert's birth.

A reduced version of the orchestra, mostly strings, had performed the Schubert, but now that all the musicians filled the stage Doh- nanyi was no less in control...
...requires the audience to help design the set. And while I would never stop encouraging students to go into Boston for a night on the town to see a professional show--I, too, have joined the proud tradition of Crimson editors crying at the production of "Rent" at the Schubert--we have an amazingly talented theater community here at Harvard. Help fill the audience at the many shows this coming semester, and prove that it does not take Casino Night or house block grants to bring students...
