Dancers
spring into Pickard
MAIA-CHRISTINA LEE, ORIENT STAFF
The first act is performed by a guy and his ball. It's
called "El Diabolo" and is worthy of a cameo in the Cirque de
Soleil. This year's Spring Dance Performance is an amalgam of stunning
acts involving choreography of every sort. From Scottish dancing to the
Unity Steppers, the show never gets old, keeping both the dancers and
audience members on their toes until the curtain closes. Michael Flatly,
with his tight dance moves and even tighter pants, would be proud of Bowdoin's
lords of the dance. [read the article]

Rocking with the girls
MACAELA FLANAGAN, COLUMNIST
"Women in rock" is sort of a clouded phrase.
While being "in rock" makes us think of women actively contributing
to the legacy of rock and roll, more often women are thought of "in
rock" in the form of sexualized lyrics and post-concert groupies.
There is definitely a long list of females contributing to the history
of rock and roll, but so few have garnered the respect of the industry
like their male contemporaries. So what the hell is going on? [read

Apathy is the best lyrical policy
SEAN TURLEY, COLUMNIST
Stealing quickly from the Sarah Ramey Guide to Great Orient
Introductions, I'd like to begin this little ditty with a definition for
one of my favorite emotions, apathy. According to my Palm Pilot (sure,
it's not Webster, but it works) apathy is defined as "the trait of
lacking enthusiasm for or interest in things generally." [read

Guidance on people and places
JAY KANG, COLUMNIST
It's pretty stupid to write a column reviewing albums if
none of your readers buy and listen to albums. Internet file sharing programs
like Limwire and Kazaa have made the full-length album review more or
less obsolete, especially on a fully-wired campus where 60 percent of
everyone's hard drive is dedicated to storing mp3s. So, I'll be the first
to surrender and tailor my column from now on to accommodate this shift
in college music consumption, so from now on I'm just going to review
people. [read the article]
The peak of filming
MAIA-CHRISTINA LEE, ORIENT STAFF
"Huey is a nickname he got in college, he's never
actually told me the story. But it's all he ever goes by," said Sarah
Coleman '03 of her father, whose film Wilderness and Spirit captivated
audiences in Smith Auditorium last Friday night. [read

67
years of tradition in one act
HANNAH DEAN, STAFF WRITER
The plays ranged from tear-stained to irreverently flippant
to bittersweet. Audience members were confronted with a range of emotions
from melancholy to amusement. [read the
