...over and over again,” says Sam C. Cohen ’00, who as an undergraduate was UC vice president and chair of the Student Center Working Group. In 1999, the UC pledged $25,000 or the building of a student center—a paltry sum for what the center would ultimately cost, but a large chunk of the UC budget. “The money showed that we were serious about it,” Cohen says. At the same time, the UC put out a report on the need for a student center, which...
...government spends a reported $1.5 million a year to maintain the mummy. It's not an obscene sum, and most Russians passing through Red Square aren't clamoring to see Lenin moved, even if he commands little of their attention. People tend to walk or jog past the mausoleum; a young couple photographs each other in front of it, beer cans in hand.

The only thing screenwriter George Lucas can think to give Padme (Natalie Portman ’03) to say at this important moment...
While the aforementioned finale is overwhelmingly self-righteous, the hideaway is well-executed. Shots of the cabin from the outside suggests that it is smaller than the sum of its parts—almost too small to fit a drum set, let alone the whole group that we see in interior shots. The video reduces the band down to its music, stripping away their individual personas. It distills Interpol to musical imagination, burning away the rock stars behind the album...
