Alice Anderson ‘04 and Louise Briguglio ’04 intend to cover the walls of Seed House, 1082 Fifth Avenue, with as many senior prints, paintings, sketches and photos as they can find. This exhibit, which will open May 7 at 5 p.m., will be Grinnell’s very first senior art show. The show will feature up to 20 different artists with a wide range of artistic techniques, styles and themes. Almost every one of the creators of these works will be an art major from the class of 2004. [more]

With my last coherent poundings on my keyboard of this semester, let me recommend to you all of these movies, but also many of the fine summer films the multinational corporations have made for you.

This summer, we have Shrek 2, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, The Chronicles of Riddick, Spider-Man 2, Catwoman, The Bourne Supremacy, Aliens versus Predator, Before Sunset, Exorcist: The Beginning and The Princess Diaries 2: The Royal Engagement. I bet four of those will be good. [more]
