Thus spoke a student in a Kansas public school
when asked his opinion on the theory of evoluto.The query caein the wake of eetae
ruling in August by the Kansas State Board of
Education to ban the teaching of Darwin's theory of evolution in state-run classrooms. t
seems that the members of that distinguished
body sympathized with the young man quoted
above. What the average P.A. lad or lass might
find themselves wondering is if the young man
and those entrusted with his education really
did descend from apes.
The reason for this ruling appears to stem
from a general movement these days to shrink
back from the often confusing or scary realities
of science and leave hard-to-understand mysteries to a divine power. Since the birth of faith

For years people have seen evolution and

do, not necessarily exclude one another. If we
examine the story of creation as a metaphor for
evolution and give ourselves some creative
license, we can splice the two ideas together. If
this is too radical, students should at least be
taught both theories and be allowed to draw
their own conclusions. The weakness of the
hard-line creationists who decry such a system
is their reluctance to confront the evidence

and Instructor in Music' Carolyn Skelton on
the soaring melody, and the orchestra sang
brightly with resounding violins and violas supported by a gentle undertow of bass and cello.
After the applause swept away the music's
final echoes, McFerrin beckoned the dancers
back onstage and challenged them to improvise
moves to the fast, free-spirited tune he himself
was humming. The dancers were up to the
challenge, taking brief but brave solo forays in
front of a delighted audience.
The next treat in store was a jazz duet again McFerrin, as in his recordings, working
towards a rapport with another artist, in this
case a bassist. This was McFerrin's chance to
handle an old standard with "skat," the art of
improvising nonsense lyrics to jazz. Skating
playful syllables here and there mixed humor
into the music, and a fine solo from the bassist
put the audience in the mood for more improvisation.
Calling on Music Instructor Wole Alade to
bring his drum to the stage, McFerrin quickly
established a tune for Mr. Alade to put rhythms
underneath, and the PA percussion guru
knocked meter out of his drum that would have
made any African Drumming 340 graduate
proud. McFerrin occasionally chanted bits of
African folk music, but refused to nile out any
sounds, even experimenting with the sound of
his microphone rubbing against his jeans.
McFerrin next called upon 16 singers to
help him improvise some a cappella singing,

and predictably some 40 would-be vocalists
rushed to the stage. Of course, he let every volunteer stay and quickly divided the group
between into sopranos, altos, tenors, and basses. In the course of a few mninutes, he managed
to push the audience's blood pressure even
higher and get some surprising good music out
of a random group of choristers.
In rapid succession, then. McFerrin moved
the crowd from laugh to'laugh, singing and
improvising on everything from The Itsy, Bitsy
Spider (with hand gestures) to the names of
various audience members. A compressed
soundtrack of The Wizard of Oz constituted the
raucous finale, and it became hard to tell where
Paul Robeson ended and Charlie Chaplin
began.
And, of course, simply because the audience couldn't have enough of him, McFerrin
emerged for an encore, an old spiritual with the
soul to complement the earlier humor. "My
eyes are ever fixed on Jesus," McFerrin sang,
seeming to hold notes in the crease of his
tongue and bending them beautifully as they
flowered on his lips. For two hours, we were
transfixed - it seems - not only by the glory of
McFerrin's many voices, but by the charm and
spirit of his performnance He made us A love

Marco seemed very excited about the new

band members all have such different styles
and tastes that all sorts of sounds are being
incorporated into the music. Marco hinself has
many different influences, but the greatest of
all is Big Punisher, the first Latin artist to hit
platinum. Marco has worked closely with Big,
about what I am feeling and who I am."
The iiew album is really putting out a lot of

He also owes many of his inspiration to the
people who he has been close to or has looked
up to in his life. "You need a muse and every
single one of my songs is talking about or to
someone in my life," said Davilla.
When we were talking about hopes of a
performance at PA, Marco was very happy to
tell us that Avalon and the Fam plan to perform

"The main ideas I want to et across are,
seize the day, live life to its fullest, and don't
waste a minute of it. The name Avalon comes
from a word which means altering views and
altering lives, this is something I really want to
do. I hiope that my music really reaches out and
touches people, and changes the way they look
at things."
Davilla closed by expressing his touchingoal. He wants this message to be sent out t6

ARTS ASSOCIATE EDITOR
The crisp wit of Oscar Wilde absolutely
glows in this lighthearted and dapper cinematic
adaptation of his play, An Ideal Husband, written in 1893. With a full cast of Hollywood's
brightest, including Rupert Everette, Minnie
Driver and Cate Blanchette, the new version
manages to maintain much of the humor and
characterization of'the original. However, the
film rings with'the established structure and
rhythm of current movies produced for the
o w l,
tastes of the general public, and smooths over
the "duller" 'aspects of the story in an attempt to
adapt the romantic comedy. Oliver Parker, the
director of the film, filled out the plot and even
modified pieces of the dialogue himself. Connoisseurs of Oscar Wilde, therefore, ought to be
wary of the film, though the characters defy
meddling and are even perhaps richer for the
interference of cinematography,
Beginning with an intimate conversation
between Lord Arthur Goring, played by Rupert
Everette, and his elderly valet, the script
instantly defies any portents of boredom with
allusions to gossip and scandalous remarks.
~~. ~~~:;~~~':~At
For example, Goring remarks that the day
will provide "distressingly little time for sloth
and idleness" as a naked curvaceous figure
leaves his bed. He adds dryly, "Other people
are quite dreadful. The only possible society is
one's own."~
With this, the story spins off into drama,
with any veneer of a dusty Masterpiece Theatre
wiped away. The conflict surrounds Sir Robert
Chiltern, played by Jeremy Northam, a young
man recently enjoying much public praise for
his efforts in parliament. Married to the softspoken, idealistic Gertrude, -played by Cate
Blanchette, Sir Chiltern's past holds a dark
secret that could cost him his future and his
marriage.

that he is quite in love with Sir Robert s sister,
Mable, played by an arch and flippant Minnie
Driver.
Between the two a lively banter and a battle
of the sexes is waged. The two court in happy
mockery of each other and their society of
manners. Alas, Lord Goring must fall to the
sting of Mable's tongue, and finds himself at a
loss for words in his attempts to propose to her.
The film had a distinctive, sharp flavor of
epigrammatic wit, with a captivating plot and
compelling characters; one can hardly find
much fault in the lay itself. The movie was
lighthearted and bewitching, if a bit sentimental
and overly dependent on each actor~s charm
and perseverance. The story could have been
explored to deeper drama and meaning, but the

that although the team's overall play

defensive improvement since the
Gushing scrimmage, Modeste pointed
out the team's increasing ability to
adapt to the ame plans of the oppq~sing offense and also praised the Blues
success with man to man coverage.
"Any time we get a guy one on one,.we
can beat 'em," said Modeste. "We may

have [better] athletes"
With a 1-0 record, the'Blue will
have momentum on their side tomorrow when they make the long journey
to the Hotchkiss school in the hills of
northwvestern Connecticut. If the

OF FRENCWLE\: AND DINOSAURS
For those of you who do not know, the JV Roundup is a roundup of V sports. We roundup stats and
from V games, and purvey this vital info to you, the faithful readers. Not much of what we write is
true. In fact, very little, outside of our names, is true. There is a derogatory nature to the articles, but we assure
you that we don't really mean what we write. This summer. Rob and I went to Roundup Camp in Corpus
Christi, Texas. where we perfected our round up skills and assisted in border patrol. Each day, the camp directors ran us through a rigorous workout regimen that included rounding up cows, a typing course, a karate
course teaching us how to roundhouse kick, and the most difficult activity, one hour of playing with assorted
balls because they are round. Now we are prepared to bring you articles that are not better, and differ very littl- from our articles from last year.

back in the following quarters. Unfortunately, it was only able to throw one
ball into the back of the net by the end
of the second quarter. Tired and winded, Andover fought gallantly through
the third quarter. Proving his dominance in the hole position, Moger was
able to mount an offensive charge
against the authoritative opponents.
Bringing the score within a three goal
margin, the pressure was on for the
fourth quarter. The speed demons of
Andover, Albert So '01 and Jon Lo
'02, were halted by the overwhelming
Loomis defense. Thankfully though,
Loomis-Chaffee could not stop captain
and leading goal scorer, Moger, who
scored seven of the team's eight goals
in the loss. Boosting up the stat sheet
was the left-handed guru Greg Kimball
'01. Though Andover lost for a second
time against the competitive Loomis
squad, the Blue showed an improvement from the feeble attempt of the
first encounter.
