Dartmouth Film Society plays it again

By Colin Grey | June 23, 1995

It seems the secret cabal at the Dartmouth Film Society has decided that the sophomore class does not want to quit the outdoors for the sake of four-hour silent Swedish films. So, instead, they have scheduled only proven hits for their summer "Blockbusters" film series. From The Beatles in 1964's "A Hard Days Night" to Tom Hanks in last year's "Forrest Gump," the current series will pay tribute to giants past and also stars from the present. True, they have included such recent smash hits as "Like Water for Chocolate" and "The Lion King" -- not to mention a rather timely showing of the first two "Batman" movies, just as the third installment in that series has begun to break attendance records across the United States. There are plenty of warriors: Indiana Jones, the rugged archaeologist played by Harrison Ford in popular Steven Spielberg tryptic; Martin Sheen as a U.S.

By Gabriel Schlumberger | May 17, 1995

You have probably heard Maceo Parker, even if you haven't heard of him. He is a veritable Forrest Gump of soul music for the last 20 years, packing a resume which reads like a who's who of the jazz/funk/soul recording industry. His contribution to the colloquium of cool cannot be overstated; adding flame to James Brown, flavor to Bootsy Collins, and soul-power to George Clinton.

Also in the first half, the women of the Glee Club were separately highlighted in "Laudate Pueri" (by Mendelssohn), after which the men showcased their talents in "The Turtle Dove" (arranged by Ralph Vaughan Williams and featuring soloist Matthew Riley '95) and "Confutatis and Lachrymosa" from Mozart's Requiem. In these songs, the Glee Club demonstrated their ability to skillfully convey all the meaning and emotion intended by a composer for his work, while producing a beautifully rich and full sound. In the second half of the concert, the Glee Club performed songs unique to Dartmouth -- including "Dartmouth Heartsong," composed by Torrance Blaisdell '90, and David Martosko '91. Sung with enthusiasm and warmth, these songs captured the spirit of Dartmouth , like in "Dartmouth Undying" (by Homer P.

"The state brought a new charge [disorderly conduct] which isn't a crime, but a violation," Keating said.
