'Tall Dark Stranger' not so mysterious

By Rocio Gonzalez · Thursday, Oct. 14, 2010

“You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger,” Woody Allen’s latest endeavor, presents a convoluted tale of love, life and death with that special directorial touch. Or, as someone in the audience whispered succinctly, it’s “so Woody Allen.”

LIGHTING UP — Russel Krantz, a junior in the School of Public Affairs, takes a smoke break on the steps of the Mary Graydon Center. New signs outside of MGC and the Tavern encourage smokers to stay at least 25 feet away from the entrances of the building.

Staff Editorial: Thou shalt not steal

October 11

In addition to the disappearance of spare time, money (spent on mostly coffee these days), and perhaps a bit of our sanity, furniture from the University Center and Butler Pavilion have been disappearing over the course of this semester. We don’t know who the perpetrator of such vile acts is — students on a vandalism lark, students too poor to furnish their house this semester or a dastardly villain that isn’t a student at all. Regardless of the culprit, however, the humor in this situation is fading fast.

Personal Rant: AU, stop and smell the roses sometimes

By Conor Shapiro | October 11

One attribute you quickly acquire as a writer is thick skin. As an undergraduate columnist in San Diego, I once shadowed syndicated columnist Ruben Navarrette for the day. After a brief introduction, he asked me to follow him upstairs. He led me to his office and asked if I’d hold on just a minute. After a few moments he waved me over, pointed to his desktop and I peered over his shoulder.

SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES — The AU Players performance of “Macbeth” conveyed the play’s dark atmosphere. Here, Macbeth (Ariel Duffy) and Lady Macbeth (Emily Goodell) during a scene in the Katzen Parking Garage.

AU Players perform macabre ‘Macbeth’

By Travis McKay-Roberts | October 11

The garage is dark. There are four crates, spread in a loose cluster. One makes the bed of a sleeping man. He is cast in an ethereal, bluish light and as he wakes voices boom from hidden speakers. As the echoes reverberate around the room, the company enters, and “Macbeth” begins its whirlwind ride through insanity. The setting of AU Players’ “Macbeth” may at first seem an odd logistical choice — it wasn’t easy to find (located in the P3 level of the Katzen Parking Garage), there’s no set stage and unfortunately, AU couldn’t do a thing about having one of the more climatic scenes interrupted by a revving Ford Explorer.

According to materials from the travel company Bus2Alps, over the three weekends of the festival, six million people from all over the world will eat 18 million chickens and drink 8 million liters of some of the world’s best beer. Do I really need to do any more convincing?
