Stepping Into Fall With Dance At Goodwin Theater This weekend's annual fall dance concert was a wonderfully eclectic show featuring dance and choreography by professors and students. The first piece, Time Out, was performed by Lesley Farlow, Professor of Theater and Dance, and B.J. Goodwin. This was an improvised piece based on a game structure in which the two performers took turns telling the stories of their first cars by yelling stop to interrupt each other. Penalty for violation of rules in this game required assuming awkward positions for five seconds. The performers shared their hilarious stories with improvised movement. They played off of each other well and set a positive tone for the rest of the show. Full story...		Mumford: Not That Great A Place To Visit Before I went to see Mumford, I decided to read a little synopsis of the movie. This was a bad idea. The only part of the movie that I might not have been able to predict was taken away from me by this synopsis. Don't get me wrong it wasn't like giving away the ending to The Usual Suspects.

Dr. Mumford, played by Loren Dean (Billy Bathgate) is a popular psychologist in the small town of Mumford. His methods are unconventional, as are his patients.

A Cappella Groups Perform At Homecoming On Saturday evening at five o'clock, fellow students and alumni gathered at the Vernon Social Center for a Homecoming Weekend performance by Trinity's a cappella groups. A dressed-down President Dobelle greeted visitors at one of the three foreboding microphones set up for the various groups. Dobelle introduced the evening's first group, the Trinitones. Dobelle spoke highly of the Trinitones and mentioned their upcoming trip to Asia next semester. He also congratulated the Trinity Pipes on their accomplished performance in Trinidad over midsession. The Trinitones were then warmly greeted with hoots and hollers as they launched into their imitation of the various baffling sonic creations of the Backstreet Boys' "I Want It That Way. " Clearly a crowd-pleaser, various soloists from the group mimicked the expression and stage antics of the Backstreet Boys. While maintaining professionalism and an art of imitation so well defined one could even catch the familiar sound of computerized wind evident in the studio recording, the Trinitones did add an element of humor that the audience responded to positively.
