We can’t imagine that anything the administration would put up would be uglier than Alter Hall. Usually, there is a certain amount of charm in older buildings. Alter defies such generalizations. We also salute the University for taking the big step and completely redoing the building as opposed to reaching for the band-aid of a reno- vation that will inevitably please no one and need to be redone in 10 years anyway. This way, fewer generations of future students will be mildly inconvenienced by dust, noise and lack of classroom space. And happily for some silly students who think the University is new, shiny and big enough already, the new classroom building will mark the last big brick and mortar project the University undertakes before it switches into fundraising for the endowment. At least that is what University officials are saying this week.

The piece was lively, orig- inal, pertinent and clever; in short, I liked it. I’m sure that those in charge had their reasons for adding the seemingly hastily put together “West Side Story” piece to this performance-I just can- not think what this reasons would be. Maybe without the “West Side Story” portion the show was considered too short. I would argue that an emphasis on quality over quantity would have served the department and the stu- dents better. Maybe they were worried that the audience would like some familiar musical the- ater fare along with their lofty intellectual French satire. However, this seems silly to me; the whole show was in English and nothing that features “in bed” fortune cookie jokes is too ivory tower for a Xavier student to handle, hopefully. In short I wondered why the group did not perform Candide in its entirety. As it was, the “Candide” performance saved the evening. “The Best of All Possible Musical Revues” could have easily lived up to its name if it had only been about 20 minutes shorter and focused on the lively songs of Candide, in- stead of the tired songs of West Side story.
