The musical pace her and leaving her, curled up in feial increased as the dancers felt the en- ergy of exploration. As they moved, the man in the rafters, half-lit by his swaying hurri- caine lamp, delivered a soliloquy of a loner, an outsider, of finding a home only on a ship, or on an island. His haunting words complemented the motions on stage, as the dancers began to move in pairs, hesitantly exploring each other. A consistent theme of the fragility of relationships seemed, at this moment, as in the best moments of Lighthouse, to be communicated in word and in motion. As the man in the rafters and another narrator, a woman, began to speak, the music shifted to the sounds of the ocean, of waves. As they read dated observations, diary entries from days at sea, the railing of the rafters became like the railing of a boat. The man's voice trailed off as he disap- peared into the dark of the staging, and the fear and uncertainty of the sea injected itself into the dancers'mood. Two of the dancers, a man and a woman, shared the stage for a desperate, sensual dance, a dancing of need for one another. It fit the Eric Hess and Allison Friday perform in Lighthouse at the Austin Arts Center narrator's preceding observation that, last weekend.

[reprinted completely without per- mission from Songs of Trinity College, by Alfred Harding] The first and \ttzi verses express exactly the same idea. It's just like Trinity to make these formal things longer than they have to be. Charming Wells '92 Marie Dempsey '90 Eric DeCavignac '92 The second verse is timeless, mainly because hanging out under "I don't know, I haven't had to "Eating an entire SAGA "Pole Races" the elms on the long walk in the dark do anything hard yet." meal." is a good way to catch cold. There is indeed "right merry cheer" in the halls of Trinity every weekend, but not at AD for a while because they got caught. Trinily has a serious reputation to uphold and can't allow underage drinking on campus. Just imagine what would happen if other schools found out we have underage drinking on campus! Why, we'd be the laughing stock of the Ivory Towers. Nowhere do you make dearer friends than around this place (this is the token serious line. Translation: the others are not). The verse about college clays being "care and sorrow free" has to go. It could seriously hurt our image as an institution devoted to the pure process of learning. It should be re- written to say "but only on week- ends," or, "after we finish our manda- tory 3 hours of homework a night." I've met some college graduates who "often seek in memory" their Julie Beman '90 Bill Thimes '90 college days.

The biggest scandal of the Summer Olympics (besides Ben Johnson) was in boxing. Having been counted out before stepping into the ring, the U.S. boxing team proved itself worthy of medals in all weight classes. Incompetency and idiocy plagued the Olympic Committee and Korean hosts as scheduling eliminated one boxer and disadvantaged several others by scheduling simultaneous bouts. The blatantly incapable officials stripped Roy Jones of a gold medal that he clearly earned. Why does one drugged-up runner remain under international scrutiny while these issues go largely undiscusssed? In a drunken stupor, Neil Walsh Dave Valzania Somewhere in MA
