...illadvised statement concerning sexual violence. They write that sexual assault is one of a number of offenses that "[s]tudents whose judgement has not been impaired by alcohol or drugs rarely commit."

Walsh and Meier had their disagreements about its display--Walsh liked sober, richly colored walls as a background for the art and insisted on "period room" effects for the furniture, whereas Meier wanted neither.

Dressed in identical black man-tailored suits, the thanes move through the play like almost interchangeable cogs in a state machine; Voros's more personal characterization of Banquo is what makes the character so much missed. Andres Ramos-Nolasco '99 plays a rather flat...
