"Brotherhood" vivid, compelling
Christophe Gans' "Brotherhood of the Wolf" is a movie that so cleverly convinces the viewer that its intentions are on the higher end of the intellectual spectrum that I unwillingly believed in its seriousness, for a while. The truth is that all the history, politics and other tensions aside, this is a were-wolf movie ? […]
Letters to the editor
Greeks add to campus lifeI am writing this letter in response to the Jan. 24 issue of the CT. I am sick and tired of the negative manner in which the fraternities on this campus are being portrayed regarding the dead cat. I am not saying that whoever killed this cat did not commit a […]
Driving Ms. Crazy
Why couldn't Helen Keller drive?Because she was a woman!I cannot drive either. I failed driver's education, I refer to the gas pedal as the "fast pedal," I have been known to hit stationary objects, and I am a woman.Over the summer, I confirmed what many of my friends have been telling me for years ? […]
Terrorism abroad
When Sept. 11 happened, I felt for those who lost loved ones in those senseless acts of terror. Yet truthfully, my sympathy did not extend much beyond what I usually feel for the lives lost in natural disasters and armed conflicts.You see, I am not an American. I am a Singaporean, and despite sometimes turbulent […]

Wind Ensemble celebrates success
Ready or not, the wind ensemble is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary this week right here at Eastman with a whole lot of hoopla and festivities. Who really cares anyway? Well, for starters, I care. Please allow me to fill in those of you who are still clueless on what exactly all the fuss is about. […]
Mayerl's legacy lingers in Caramia
Technology and history converged last Tuesday as pianist Tony Caramia presented an entertaining and historical presentation on the music of Billy Mayerl.The added information ? the background on both the pieces and the composer ? served to pique the interest of the diverse audience, which Caramia never seems to have trouble attracting. The activities were […]
Audition Fridays fill school with music
For most Eastman students, audition days bring back memories of excitement, confusion and anxiety. We know all too well what it's like to walk into Eastman's main building and feel like our destiny will be determined largely by how well we remember to inhale and exhale.However, for many non-music students, this whole process seems foreign […]
Semester in Ghana inspires with expressive music
Allegedly, Britney Spears performed on Lambidi Beach a number of years ago. I'm not sure about the validity of that statement, but someone on the Campus Times staff said it'd be a good hook for an article about music in Ghana.If you name it, I've probably heard it. Diverse doesn't even begin to describe the […]
