With the win the Tigers proved once again that their women's basketball program is, at this stage in time, far ahead of the programs at the other Ivy schools. High-scoring forward C.B. Tomasiewicz, who led the way with 21 points against Yale, took home the tournament Most Valuable Player honors, while teammate Margaret Meier, who chipped in 20 yesterday, received a spot on the All-Tournament Team...
...artist, Brown transforms the banal events of everyday life into art. The art becomes the process of the making of art. Like a minimalist, Brown uses simple, repeatable units placed end to end to build the whole, and by doing so, finds herself playing formal games on stage...
...Spanish Dance," the only passage of the dance set to music--Bob Dylan's "Early Mornin' Rain"--the dancers perform a predictable yet hilarious task.

In between, the songs are disappointing. "The Load-Out," a tribute to Browne's roadies, is nothing less than spectacularly dumb. Lyrically inane as well as musically torpid, the song includes such unbearably bad lines...
