...emcees and their friend “Chocolate” to the beat of “Discovery Channel.” One lucky audience member even received not one, but two lap dances from these lovely ladies before bolting out of the dining hall. The Disney theme continued onto the closing act, as Adams House Masters John G. “Sean” Palfrey ’67 and Judith S. Palfrey ’67 waltzed as Beauty and the Beast, respectively. Even dining hall manager David A. Seley became a juicy piece of meat...
...continuing mock trial and speech and debate at the college level. Sitting across from him on the futon, I felt a little hunched and inarticulate. What exactly did he want to do as president? I asked. What kinds of changes did he want to make? “A theme in the future that I’d really be honored to work on is focusing on collaboration and construction rather than deconstruction and negativity,” Chris said.

In all, NAR president Charles McMillan says the number of working real estate agents has dropped about 10% nationwide to 1.24 million, from a peek of 1.37 million two years...
...from Martha Graham’s classic anti-war piece “Chronicle.” The dancers, dressed in full-length black garments designed by Graham herself in 1936, proceeded on-stage with rigid shuffles that were accented by the absence of music. An eerie, militaristic theme suddenly blared out, signaling the dancers to cover the stage with repeated, mechanical stag leaps that were almost inhuman in their unfeeling execution. A single woman (notably portrayed by Conservatory student Jessica Klein), stood center stage as the melee of jumping dancers milled around her, using twisted torso movements and jerking...
