...borderline tacky—when objects drawn from the lyrics start to appear and subsequently float around in slow motion: string instruments when Timberlake says “symphony” or notepads when he says “love note.” Featuring a perfect blend of solo and group dancing, the video is full of undeniably captivating liquid movements, although the all-too-familiar interspersions of scantily-clad women humping Timberlake and T.I. regrettably detract from its otherwise smooth sensibility. The video version of “My Love” also includes a one-and-half...
...freshman year, this nameless senior (who didn’t give his name for fear of embarrassment) and his friends decided to go water down the College’s namesake. “We got to the statue and it was drenched. It was disgusting. There was a solo cup upside down on top of his head,” the senior says. As he was unzipping, a cop spotted him and started yelling at him.

From beginning to end, the piece exudes tropical colors from the BBC Symphony Orchestra and sweeping lines on the solo six-string electric violin. Violinist Tracy Silverman’s playing is lush, velvety and a bit mischievous—which is perfectly suited for this piece. In “A New Day,” the first of two movements, Silverman plays a continuous, floating 14-minute melody over the ever-changing...
...first to play was Anna I. Polonyi ’10, who provided a blues beat on the drums for Lee H. Dietterich ’10 on the clarinet and Momin M. Malik ’08 on the sitar. The trio began slowly, with each musician playing solo for a few minutes in order to give the others a feel for their style. Once comfortable with each other’s sound, the three began to play in unison, captivating those around them, with one student going so far as to motion frantically to his friend...
