DAPA's National Alcohol Screening Day Moved to May 7
Whatever happened to those DAPA Camelbaks everybody's been clamoring over since the fall? If you're a freshman who put off buying a water bottle all year or if you're a senior who's had their priorities wrong for the past three years, you may have despaired that you were out of luck when this year's annual National Alcohol Screening Day was canceled.
Student Finalists To Face Off in Entrepreneurship Contest
Eight teams of finalists for the New Venture Competition will face off Tuesday for the final round of the student track of the Harvard Business School entrepreneurship contest.
A Powerful Play in "Henry V"
“We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.” So goes the famous St. Crispin’s Day speech, delivered by King Henry V at the climax of the eponymous Shakespeare play. In a departure from more popular Shakespeare comedies or dramas, director Matthew G. Warner ’13 says, the decision to perform “Henry V,” an English historyplay, illuminates a different, lesser-known aspect of Shakespeare’s work. Presented by the Hyperion Shakespeare Company, “Henry V” will open at the Agassiz Theatre on May 3.

Visuals Breathe Life into “Oblivion”
While “Oblivion” succeeds artistically and features a strong cast, its writing occasionally borders on being overly sentimental and fails to take the film’s unique premise towards a strong conclusion. The film touches briefly on themes such as individuality and free will, but brushes by them on the way to visually satisfying scenes.
A Reimagined "Streetcar"
With an original musical score and an honest return to Williams’s depiction of the characters instead of what the iconic actors portrayed in the movie, this stage production is different from the film version most audiences are familiar with, director Sayantan Deb ’14 says.
“Evil Dead” A Shallow Tour de Gore
Fede Alvarez revisits a cult classic and a monumental film in the horror genre with "Evil Dead," a remake of the 1981 "The Evil Dead." Alvarez's film is filled with visually rich terrors that the original cannot match, but "Evil Dead" is nowhere near as novel or important for the genre.
Music "In Time of War"
This Sunday, LGBT chorus Coro Allegro will perform their concert "...In Time of War," which will focuses on issues surrounding the armed forces. Works include Haydn's "Mass in Time of War" and a musical setting of a soldier's last letter home.
"Giant Slayer" a Modest Success
"Jack the Giant Slayer" is a predictable yet satisfying film. The writing remains very faithful to the source material—elements from both the classic “Jack and the Beanstalk” tale and lesser-known Cornish story “Jack the Giant Killer” are deftly integrated without the spirit of either being compromised.
