About half a century ago, college campuses, like the rest of the world, were very different places from what they are now. Coming out of the Truman and McCarthy eras, liberals were in a small minority at universities across the nation. But as America entered the '60s, social and political liberalism took its strongest hold on college campuses. Students were instrumental in fomenting the civil rights revolution that gave blacks the right to vote and integrated public schools. As the Vietnam conflict unfolded, it was students at the front lines, picketing, protesting and staging "love-ins." College liberals even networked with radical leftist groups like SDS and the Black Panthers, trying to make a difference.

Just as a caveat before I begin this article, I'd like to let my readers know just how hard it is to enter the fray of a heated, quick-tongued and violent debate regarding Mel Gibson's new movie, The Passion of the Christ. That forum is currently a battleground where insults are hurled and accusations made. New York Times columnist Frank Rich decried the film as anti-Semitic, and Gibson, in The New Yorker, expressed his desire to kill Rich, spear his entrails and murder the writer's dog. And damnit, that's territory I'm just not comfortable entering.

The roughly decade-long period in France's history at the end of the 19th century known as the "belle ??poque" produced artists and thinkers who were well ahead of their time, and whose work set the stage for the radical changes that would come in the 20th century. Of these, none produced an artistic style so distinctively avant-garde and recognizable, and none lived a life as turbulent and wild as Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.

The Hopkins Symphony Orchestra showcased its small-group potential this past Sunday at the Mattin Center, playing chamber works by Brahms, Vivaldi, Clarke and Frackenpohl. The performance was daring and impressive, but at times overambitious for the Hopkins-based community orchestra.

Rumor has it that one critic of the original, 1969 version of The Big Bounce called the film a "rancid piece of trash," and personally, I think any movie that rouses feelings strong enough to go with such a vehement accolade is, in some sense, a success. This year's re-make of the film is not nearly as stirring, nor as bad as the press would suggest. The real problem is that the whole movie is one big "so what". The acting is almost totally unremarkable, the script is poorly adapted, and the action is mind-numbingly dull.

Last Friday night at the 9:30 Club in northeastern Washington, D.C. was a night like any other: four loud, relatively unknown, alternative acts took the stage and made the place shake with the sound of it. The headliners were the Old 97's, an alt-country-slash-barroom-rock-slash-power-pop foursome from Dallas led by singers/songwriters Rhett Miller and Murry Hammond. But for those of you in the audience who'd had a few too many, as well as to the blissfully unawares, Friday night was different for two reasons. First, the Old 97's the best unknown band in America, and second, they were playing to a sold-out club.

For 15 years, the Red Hot Chili Peppers have been one of those bands about whom one always asks "What are they up to these days?" The development of their sound has been in the forefront of their popular identity, and sometimes it has even seemed to be a model for what is going on in rock and roll at large.
