Each group has different needs and therefore has a preference for which space they would like to use. This year, however, some groups were given one of two new practice spaces in O’Brien Hall. Although the new space is helpful for student groups as a whole, it does not suit the needs of all performance groups. Even so, the University still scheduled performance groups to use these rooms, a decision which has created frustration among groups that were not properly accomodated. For example, Louvre Performance Ensemble, a dance group which has a need for a large space to practice in because of the size of the organization and the nature of the dances it performs, requested rehearsal space in Spurrier Dance Studio where they also hold shows, but were instead given space in the new studio in O’Brien, a room which does not fully suit its needs and is simply not large enough to accommodate the group. Ballet Performance Group (BPG) found itself in a similar situation. Although they currently practice their larger dances in the May Room and Leibner-Cooper Room (formerly the MAC Room), they Alex Kurland / staff illustrator were also given the space in O’Brien. EDITORIAL observer Given space constraints on the River Campus, it is understandable that not all groups will always be able to receive the rooms they request, but it is a disservice to organizations when they are given a space which they cannot practice properly in. The new room in O’Brien has the potential to al- Major mayhem: no need to leviate some of these space issues, but it is not adequate for all performance groups and should not be assumed as such. hate on other fields Despite these problems, one positive aspect of the addition of the space in O’Brien is that the administration no longer offers Bridge Lounge as an option for practice space. This area was never fascination for mathematics, intended to be used as a rehearsal space, and for good reason — it is structurally unsound and often astronomy — well, science in shakes when groups dance there. Additionally, the background noise in Wilson Commons can be general. I love knowing how distracting to the organizations there practicing, while the organizations can easily disturb students things work: from human behav- studying in the area. ior to how a machine functions. The addition of this new space in O’Brien was a laudable move by the University to provide more Often I’ve thought about the space for performance groups on campus, but the room should only be given to those groups that reason for this dislike toward can utilize that space in an effective manner and not to those that are inconvenienced by it.

Take five with Take Five Scholars: a closer look at UR's unique program

The uniquely-UR Take Five Scholars Program lets interested students spend an extra year taking classes at the college —­ absolutely tuition free. While the Take Five Program is frequently touted by admissions counselors and well-known on cam- pus, the complexity of the program, its necessary in- tensive planning process and its many requirements and restrictions are not. Everyone knows about Take Five, but no one really knows about Take Five — unless you’re in it. After speaking with both current and future Take Five Scholars, it’s clear that the program is much more than just a free year at UR. { see explore page 10 { page 10 / campustimes.org features / Thursday, october 4, 2012 Take Five requires planning, curiosity, creativity Explore from page 9 proposed courses.

CT Recommends... Former longtime guitarist of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, John Frusciante has already established himself as a musical force to be reckoned with in his own right — an identity further solidified by his eleventh ‘pbx funicular studio album, “PBX Funicular Intaglio Zone.” Released on Sept. 25, “PBX” is Frusciante’s first foray into what he describes as “progressive synth intaglio zone’ pop.” On the album he sings, plays guitar and engineers a host of synthesizers, samplers and drum ma- chines — a shift in instrumentation toward the electronic and a distinct departure from his past works. by casey gould The track “Ratiug,” for instance, features the vocals of Wu-Tang Clan affiliate and rapper Kinetic 9 and is news editor testament to Frusciante’s ever-evolving approach to making music, confusing as it may seem at times. An experiment in instrumentation, “PBX” also exhibits a contradictory and, at times, clashing produc- tion. As a performer, Frusciante employs both harmonious and dissonant chord choices and opts for an irregular rhythm, creating an overall sound that is erratic to say the least. As producer, he defiantly favors lo-fi recording techniques in the mixing and mastering processes. The end result? If you’re looking for an album that sounds like the Chili Peppers, listen to a Chili Peppers album. If you’re looking for an electronica record with a certain esoteric, visceral quality, you’re in luck. Even if it’s not as accessible to non-fans as some of Frusciante’s earlier solo albums, “PBX” delivers 36 minutes of lush soundscapes and jarring performances that will keep listeners baffled and bewildered, which is exactly what he in- tended — I think.
