The search is on for a new dean to head the University of Montana College of Technology. Starting Monday, COT Dean Paul Williamson accepted a special assignment to work on university projects related to alternative energy and the development of the Long-Range Building Program for COT’s new campus, according to a UM news release. Williamson had been the COT dean since 2002. A COT committee of faculty and staff will assist the office of the provost in the nationwide search for a replacement, said Williamson. In the interim, COT Associate Dean Harry Sheski will serve as acting dean. One of the biggest challenges in being dean was being able to move programs and people forward, Williamson said. “I chose to move over to help try to move these two major projects forward because Ashley McKee/Montana Kaimin the college cannot grow and cannot meet A squirrel ponders stealing some mixed nuts from underneath a desk drawer Wednesday near the Lommasson Center.

improvisation. The performance features drummer John Niekrasz improvising on a jazz drum set while Brown moves and reacts to the drumming. The idea for the piece came from both Brown and Niekrasz. Each of them was intrigued by the idea of com- bining musical and movement-based improvisation, Brown said. After a few experimental rehearsals, they pursued their performance. “Performing (the piece) is a fabulous challenge for me,” Brown said. “In any improvisational art, there’s nothing to draw from but yourself. We can work off of each other, but our reactions have to come from us. We both have to work hard not to get trapped in any vocabulary or plan that’s developed during rehearsals.” Recent graduate Laura Davis’ solo piece, “Filtration,” is less an experiment and more a personal story.

The highlight of the album, once again, is Casablancas’ voice. In prior releases, Is This It and Room On Fire, his voice was buried or sounded distant. One thing Kahne made sure of was to make it the centerpiece, which paid off. Another improvement made on the quintet’s third album is the writing. Casablancas is the sole lyricist in the band and has been known more for cluttered and vague verses than this new confes- sional style, which finds its way onto some of the tracks such as “On The Other Side,” where he croons, “I’m so tired of being judg- mental of everyone.” The Strokes take some chances and in the end they benefit greatly. This is what a second album should be … but later is better than never.
