Walk through Shaw Field on Oct. 17 and you'll find live music, hot apple cider, art stations and a pie-eating contest.
The Program Board, in cooperation with Campus Programs, will be hosting the semi-annual Fallfest that day, with music beginning at 3 p.

Once upon a fall night in 2008, The Muskies were born in a song circle. Friends gathered in one of the infamous Macalester-owned cottages and participated in an event rooted in folk music traditions. Everyone brought a song to sing for the group despite any misgivings about their own musical talent.

"Friday is not a numerical value," Noah Exum '12 said sympathetically when I complained of mistyping the date of this year's Poetry Slam as being on Oct. 23 to the power of Friday. Friday to the power of Friday is just too much Friday. For someone not even performing in next week's event, it struck me as a strangely poetic statement.

Like Peter Pan, I am one of those people who refuse to grow up. I'm currently reading "A Bear Called Paddington," and last week I purchased a "Where in World is Carmen Sandiego?" sweatshirt. For my 21st birthday I received Disney's "The Little Mermaid" on DVD.

It isn't very often these days a band wins over both the music blogosphere and the music journalism community with straight-up convention.

I often joke about being an old man. I talk to strangers, I fall asleep in front of the television and I wear a lot of tweed. But there is one old man in particular I truly admire: Bill Cunningham, fashion photographer extraordinaire.
Cunningham is responsible for the most accessible part of the New York Times, the "On the Street" fashion column.
