Important mentor disappears from Memorial Union

Walking through Memorial Union the middle of last week, I noticed that the Arcade Games looked rearranged. Upon further investigation, my worst fears were realized-Gauntlet Legends was gone. There was no note to say why it had been removed or where it had gone. The impact of this loss is soon going to be felt all around campus. 

Self-righteous Americans must extend helping hand

There is something fascinating about the way many American conservatives think. On the topic of humanitarianism, the right tends to be more isolationist and not feel the need to use our power and resources to benefit those abroad. Though the motivations for thinking this way do not spring from an innate sense of malevolence, they are still baffling. 

Dissent fits into summer music

The polarity of white hip-hop today

Two upcoming hip-hop albums by white artists have left me with the realization that there's a right way to do things and a wrong way to do things.  

Jack & Karen: most enviable lives

When it comes to future happiness, I'm a reasonable woman. I don't demand a great deal of wealth-enough to afford an apartment in Manhattan without having to hold a job would be fine. I don't want children; I'd rather spend my money amassing a collection of designer shoes that would make Imelda weep. On the social front, I desire only the prestige and connections necessary to sustain an addiction to prescription painkillers.

Hal Holbrook conjures Mark Twain

With almost five decades of performance behind him, Hal Holbrook has a good impression down. In a one-man performance that delights and provokes, he brings a recreated Mark Twain to the stage. With a few hours of makeup and a continually evolving show, Holbrook invokes a father of American literature and wit every time he appears. The Daily Cardinal recently had the honor of speaking with this performer and Samuel Clemens troubadour.

Malkmus even better than sliced bread

\I rock like a beast,"" Stephen Malkmus declared in an interview after the break-up of his former band, Pavement. It wasn't as much of a statement as it was a realization--without the restrictions of being in an established rock band (the best rock band of the '90s, for that matter), Malkmus was free to pursue whichever path he wanted. Although his decision to dedicate himself to straight-forward rock 'n' roll wasn't reflected on his enjoyable self-titled solo debut, which cast him as an unlikely singer-songwriter with an affinity for David Bowie-esque pop, it certainly manifested itself during his subsequent live shows and on his latest album, Pig Lib, where his guitar playing finally takes center stage.

Best of luck to LeBron

It's just not right. Four months from now LeBron James will hit the dance floor at his senior prom. Soon after that he will undoubtedly sign a multi-million dollar shoe contract with either Nike or Adidas. And next fall he will be lacing up those sneakers against Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady and several other NBA players who would like nothing more than a shot at this phenom. So much will change.
