Senior Chris Walsh has been feeling paternal lately. When he talks about the Phi Beta Kappa Hall outdoor rehearsal garden that he has been planning since mid-October, it's as if he's just had a baby.

In an attempt to fill the growing need for rehearsal space on campus, Walsh conceived the idea of putting a rehearsal area in an under-utilized courtyard on the Barksdale-field side of PBK Hall.

Being a hero usually takes time and effort. Wednesday, students seized the chance to be a hero, and it only took 15 minutes. The annual Alan Bukzin Memorial Bone Marrow drive was an excellent effort to enter more people in the bone marrow registry. Due to effective advertising, organization and the good intentions of the student body, the drive assisted in the effort to supply an ample database of available donors.

The organizers of the drive deserve commendations for their successful tactics in fundraising and recruitment. Their faithfulness and determination resulted in a total of $51,000 in donations and 801 students getting their blood typed.

The year 2000 marks the 30th anniversary of Earth Day, and the Student Environmental Action Coalition guarantees that its commemoration on campus will be nothing like the College has ever seen.

"This year SEAC is basically going [on a] full-frontal assault with a week's worth of events ranging from internationally-renowned speakers to recyclable art fashion shows," freshman Rachel Alice Lewis, SEAC's Earth Day 2000 chair, said. "Earth Day is going to be celebrated on a much larger scale than in other years."

The problems of narration have become a familiar subject in modern and postmodern art. William Faulkner spent a career exploring the difficulties of a nonsensical storyteller, emphasizing the form of the explanation, not the content. Andy Warhol brought into question whether the narrator's tale meant anything past the surface level. Chuck Palahniuk's "Fight Club" offered the pinnacle of the unreliable narrator by creating internal characters that the audience was coerced into accepting.

Now comes "American Psycho" with the most frustrating and difficult of all critiques on the narrative structure: What do you do when the narrator has absolutely nothing to say?

After losing two out of three games to James Madison and falling into last place in the CAA, the Tribe baseball squad rebounded outside of the conference, scoring a combined 30 runs in two games to claim victories over Coppin State and VMI.

Wednesday's victory over Coppin State was the 200th in Tribe coach Jim Farr's career. However, possibly more importantly, the game provided the Tribe with some much-needed momentum going into this weekend's CAA series with George Mason.
