Even though UR tries to have enough interesting activities planned on campus to keep everyone happy, things can get boring. So this weeked, get out of the somewhat secluded college community to clap and stomp the night away!

The Broadway musical Stomp is in Rochester at the Auditorium Center for the weekend. This is the fifth time that the show has come to town, and it promises to be a complete entertainment bonanza.

The show has been running successfully for eight years now. Stomp, directed and created by Luke Creswell and Steve McNicholas, has eight-member percussion groups that perform the show.

Go and watch this show. It?s the perfect reason to get off campus and explore Rochester as well as see a great performance.

There are $25 and $35 tickets available. You can buy them at Ticket Express and at all Ticket-master locations ? just call 222-5000 or 232-1900. You can also buy them online at www.tick-etmaster.com.

A shortcut on climate science is a dead end

Climate policy will always involve cost tradeoffs. However, we should not tilt the scale by ignoring evidence or skipping review.
