...transplanted to a dramatic cliff, preaching his heartfelt message of eye contact. He is at home in the untamed wilderness; as gazelles prance around him, he lets his voice and perfectly tousled locks fly free. Meanwhile, two bandmates navigate a spaceship through rings of lasers in endlessly deep black space, and a fourth races a flying Delorean—what an insane idea—on virtual roads as smooth as Reggie’s voice. While it seems as though this world just couldn’t get any wackier, more challenges confront the Black Kids. They battle skull...

It would place the onus on having a fun Saturday night on individual students. Right now, it is far too easy to sit back and complain that final clubs have taken over the social scene, with their large dancing spaces and ample room for coats. Having a student- administered building would put a degree of social autonomy into the hands of any single undergraduate and might lessen the victimized tone of the social opportunities-discussion...
