However, the Caine College of the Arts will be presenting Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” at the Morgan theater shortly before Christmas Break. Auditions will be held Monday, Oct. 4. The play will also feature Felix Mendelssohn’s score performed by the USU orchestra and women’s choir. “We would like to remind all students they are welcome to audition,” Johnson said. Once students see “The Cripple of Inishmaan,” they may be interested in being part of future USU productions, Johnson said. He said it is an “outstanding” play. “Audiences who drift to shows like “Leverage” and “House” will probably appreciate the dark humor of human behavior portrayed,” Johnson said. The play will keep audience members guessing with lots of turns in the plot, Roghaar said. “You never know what is going on,” Roghaar said. “You think you do, but then ... it goes up and down.” Ben Brantley of The New York Times reviewed the play by saying, “the waywardness of human behavior means a good yarn-spinner will never want for surprise endings.” “The Cripple of Inishmaan” will premiere Thursday, Sept. 30 at 7:30 p.m. in the Caine Lyric Theater. Tickets are free for USU students with ID, and cost $13 for reserved seating, $11 for USU faculty and staff, $9 for non-USU students. The play runs Sept. 30 to Oct. 2 and Oct. 6-9 with all performances beginning at 7:30 p.m. The Caine Lyric Theater is located at 28 West Center St., Logan. To purchase tickets, visit the Caine College of the Arts Box Office in the Chase Fine Arts Center, Room 139-B, or the Caine College of the Arts Dean’s Office Box Office. Tickets may also be purchased by phone 435-797-8022 or online at the college’s website. THE CRIPPLE OF INISHMAAN opens tonight at 7:30 p.m. at the Caine Lyric Theater.

Bungie did the necessary a lot to so many different tweaks to the game to put a lasting impression on the faithful people over the past decade. Billy Harlow series followers. The graphics and sound are great as usual. From the first game, The online gameplay is never ending until you have to go to released in 2001 on the original XBOX, to inviting all of your bed. The campaign gets back to its original greatness as in nerdy friends on a weekend to your house to play multi- the original Halo. player games all night long – oh, those were the days! This is a must-buy game if you have not bought it already. Halo has been solid in the ever-changing world of video I can not write down and try to explain everything that goes games, the only positive to owning an XBOX console, I think. on in the game, it needs to be played and experienced first- Halo is not merely a game to people – it is books, movies hand to get the final pleasure out of what most likely will be and merchandise, which have grossed $1.7 billion. the last Halo game. Halo spawned the online, competitive, multi-player world Positives: Great graphics, music, campaign, online game- of video-games. With Halo comes a new culture of gamers – competitive nerds. With this came new lingo, trash talk, and actions, like when you call someone a “newb” after killing them, then ROTC deafens the ears with a helicopter proceed over to their body and “T-bag” them. Halo has been a constant way of life for so many gamers in the world. Halo: Reach got back to the basics of the series – the campaign. It was like Bungie took all the complaints of gamers on past games and tweaked it to make a final masterpiece to leave everyone with a good taste in their mouth. Unlike the previous Halos, where you play as Master Chief, Reach is a prequel to the rest where you play as a basic Spartan called Noble 6 for players to project themselves onto. You are free to accessorize Noble 6 to look the way you want him to, so you will see some really ugly dumb set- ups while playing online. The storyline in the original Halo was great, and Reach gets back to this greatness with an in-depth storyline that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Bungie doesn’t seem to put out another online game, they thought about the little man who loves some background and story to his game, not just the T-bagging champs of online. During the campaign time you’ll find a lot of tried and true mainstays of the Halo format. That means plenty of big battlefields, crazy vehicles, lots of aliens to fight and tons of weapons to help make the Covenant pay. It takes only around 10 hours to beat the campaign, but it is an action- filled 10 hours and the most difficult campaign out of the series. A good part of the Halo series is the online multi-player games, where you can either team up with some friends or go solo on the ultimate T-bagging experience yet. The core concepts of past Halo online game-play have stayed the same, but with new features, weapons and modes available, it freshens up the online play to feel new. Armor abilities and tweaked physics, along with what Microsoft calls “Player Investment”, keep the gamer coming back more and more. Player investment works because everything you do in the game, whether campaign or online, STUDENTS WERE INVITED by the ROTC to take a look both outside and inside at a Black Hawk Thursday.

Marcus starts an underground movement to counteract the government and media fronts – [email protected] about what is happening to their city, finding ways around gait-recognition software, ID- signatured public transportation passes and even cell phone encryptions. His goal is not only to prove the police and military forces ineffective and even wrong, but to find out what happened to that fourth member of his gang – his best friend, Darryl. The ensuing back-and-forth drama has just the right amount of the post-9/11 xenopho- bia and fear of what’s next, balanced with the political opposite, the battle for privacy and that all-American freedom. Doctorow makes it all believable, from the character interactions to the way each plot- twist unfolds, even the futuristic devices and new version of cyberspace. I found myself suspecting many of these things exist, and we just don’t know about them yet. Marcus and the other “rebels” with whom he joins forces are constantly in danger as local police and the DHS search for those behind the disruptions in their security measures.
