Miami orchestra plays 'The Symphony of the Dance'

Miami University's Symphony Orchestra performed the first concert of its 101st season on Friday, October 6. The concert, titled "The Symphony of the Dance," featured a diverse program of music, with all the pieces centered around the theme of fighting for freedom. This year's theme comes from the concert's dedication to Daniel Pearl's World Music Days.


CULTURE

'The Flick' refreshingly explores empathy

The opening of "The Flick" appropriately mimicked the beginning of a movie. A single lamp flickered on and illuminated the back wall of Studio 88 with different colors simulating a projection. Brassy opening music swelled to a crescendo and the audience settled in for a unique slice-of-life story.

Caleb Russell: The succulent guy

Caleb Russell's windowsill is a greenhouse. Mason jars, clay pots and ceramic vases purchased from thrift shops and craft stores cover every available surface, each one filled with tiny green plants.

Ivy goes public: Miami's new 'First Dog'

I walked into Lewis Place, and Renate greeted me with her usual bright smile. But following in her footsteps was the welcoming committee I was really looking forward to: Ivy, the newest member of the Crawford family, pranced into the hallway to see who had come to call.

Thermostats in dorms, classrooms: Do they really change the temp?

In every classroom and every residence hall room on campus, there's a little plastic box screwed to the wall, theoretically letting you adjust the temperature to anywhere between 90 and 55 degrees. Try as you might, though, you'll never get that temperature to go below 70 degrees in the summer, or 74 degrees in the winter.
