Before the Performing Arts Building (PAB) was constructed, the Music Department had been largely in Prexy, the Theatre Department in the old building in the canyon, and the Dance Department found places to practice in the gym. The new spaces are breathtaking, but the unification of the performing arts in one building should be seen as the greater achievement. As you walk through the atrium and see a class using the steps for a staged reading, past the Studio Theatre and Performance Lab being used for various dance and theatre events, and look through the large windows of the dance studio at a class’s rehearsal until they all start looking at you and you continue on your way — all while some piano music drifts through the entire building from the student practice spaces.

I have a huge crush on this boy in my Hum conference and I just don’t know what to do. He always wears the best flannels and the most perfectly beat up jeans and boots and no one knows how to talk about Plato’s Republic or the cloudiness of reality in Herodotus’ Histories like he does. What should I do? Should I slip a Sappho poem in his mail stop? Or maybe drop a hint about meeting sometime to talk about those star-crossed lovers, Helen and Paris? 

Please respond ASAP,

Lovestruck in Hum Conference.

Last week’s winter wonderland left some Reedies wondering what to wear. Not Sasha Jones ‘16, inspired by her Bordeaux socks, she coordinated her lips and sweater to match her cozy fashionable feet. Craving some color? Check out our blog, dosdesastres.blogspot.com for the full color photo of Sasha and another Reedie dressed stylishly for the cold!
