Spring has Sprung!
The sickly, pale-faced days of winter have been shattered by a resurgence of sunlight and plant life. Coughs and sneezes have been replaced with the laziness and optomism of spring fever. Now that the academic frenzy that follows spring break is coming to an end, student life is picking up as well.So without further ado, highlights of my week….
The second annual Forum at the Forum on wednesday was a much needed discussion/debate about censorship. A wide variety of views were expressed- statism (though no one ventured to call it by name), libertarianism, and everything in between was well represented.
Though the event was a bit too short for my tastes, it was heartening to see the forum used for its intended purpose.Also, yesterday I suffered a fit of cabin fever, and went with some friends to see Much Ado About Nothing, as performed by the Henely Street Theatre Company. I couldn’t help but swell with school spirit as I perused the program. Several spiders made thier appearance, including Raven Bonniwell and Billy Finn (both of whom were in Macbeth), as well as Gordon Jenkins. Despite the fact this is Henely Street’s inaugural season, they put on an excellent production. The comedy was fast, fluid, and totally immersive, ultimately a breath of fresh air for a jaded media consumer like myself.
