...examples are seemingly endless: the new pub in Loker Commons, the creation of the Lamont Library Café, the renovation of the Mather and Dunster dining halls, and the creation of a new dance center when the old one was shut down. All of these major student life initiatives were on the brink of doom or significant delay because of the whim of one person—the dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences...
...Clockwork Orange” and “2001: A Space Odyssey.” Such inside jokes are no surprise—director Brian Cook was a prime Kubrick admirer, serving as assistant director, co-producer, and actor in Kubrick’s “Eyes Wide Shut.” Malkovich and the myriad references are somewhat entertaining, but not enough so to rescue the film from its overwhelming mediocrity.

...told us a lot about the dreaming-or at least the REM-brain. Those areas that are active include the brain stem (responsible for basic functions like heartbeat regulation), the limbic system (which mediates emotions, learning and memory) and parts of the forebrain involved in processing sensory information.

...tallies. Junior Melissa Mueller added four goals, while junior captain Lauren Snyder, freshman Roxanne Pinto and her classmate Kelley Peeler all had two. Junior Melissa MeCreery added one. “We capitalized with a bunch of turnovers up top,” Snyder said. “We shut them down so they didn’t have that much to go to.” Despite a dominant attack that made for a relatively quiet night for sophomore Nicola Perlman, the goalie was still able to reject seven shots while stripping the ball from the Camel?...
