Women's tennis ends season

|

When the women's tennis team looks back on the 1993 season, there will be no mistaking that it added its own unique chapter to the history of the program. But it's the history yet to come that makes the Big Green's second-place finish in the Ivy League and 5-2 league record not only a proud piece of the team's heritage but also a tantalizing morsel of what is to come for the team. Next year's squad will lose only one member to graduation and adds four regionally and nationally-ranked recruits to a talented line-up. "If they develop the way that I think they will, we're going to have depth like you've never seen," Coach Chris Kerr said. Still, no one is thinking it is going to be easy to replace Ali Boss '93, the team's captain and first singles players.

Mbuli sings for justice

|

Mzwakhe Mbuli, the South African poet and songwriter, prefaced his Friday night concert in Webster Hall with the warning, "Anyone who doesn't dance tonight will have to be taken to the hospital after the show." No threats were needed because the lively music and energy of Mbuli and his dancers inspired everyone in the audience to let loose. "You've seen shows before, but you've never seen anything like we will show you tonight," Mbuli said. He was right.
