Although its title might lead you to believe otherwise, Stop Making Sense is not a screwball comedy--rather, it is a screwball Art/Rock Concert film. If you like the Talking Heads, you will no doubt be delighted with David Byrne's huge wacky suit. If you do not like the Talking Heads, however, sight gags posing as art will not endear you to this overly long movie. No one will deny, however, the unmistakeable energy and charming enthusisasm of the Talking Heads in their film debut...
...with the plethora of clubs on the list, surely a little confusion is to be expected. A student interested in the Caribbean, computers or Classics can join an organization specifically tailored to suit his needs, and if not, he can begin one. In the last 15 years, the number of clubs on campus has nearly tripled and many esoteric groups have sprung up where none had existed before...

Leonard waited until their pencils stopped and then collapsed...
...WERE the Grammies, an awards ceremony that honors merely whoever is topping the pop charts this year. Then came the more localized Bammies, or Bay Area Music Awards, honoring similarly lackluster of musicians from the once-trendsetting city of San Francisco. Other cities of equally dubious musical importance followed suit. Last week, Boston, a city whose own popular music heritage is schizophrenic at best, jumped on the bandwagon, so to speak, with its own ceremony, cleverly titled The Boston Music Awards. Granted, Boston's music scene is vital enough to deserve recognition, and some of its local artists may even...
