Viewpoint
- Jumpin', jumpin' (Amy Schill Dazed and Amused)
One of humankind's most ridiculous conventions, besides the tiring but necessary "Hey, how was your break? … Good, how was yours? … Good … Okay … Bye" exchange, is the nightclub. In primitive times, the term `clubbing' referred to the courting process where the male clobbered the female on the head, dragged her by the hair into the cave and did the wild wooly mammoth dance. Though this mating process still remains for most Jerry Springer guests, evolution has caused most of us to establish more humane social interactions, step out of the cave into the night and shake what our mommas gave us.

Censorship is an ugly word. Vagina, apparently, is an even uglier one. Saint Mary's has decided to ban this year's performance of "The Vagina Monologues." Such a clear act of censorship should by no means be surprising, but it should also not go unquestioned.
- Students bring joy to others (Nick Lagoni R.A., Fisher Hall)

- Dynamic holiday film season ends lackluster year with a bang Movie Scene comments on several noteworthy film releases, chief among them being "Traffic" and the martial arts epic "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" (Scene Staff Report )
For all the flack Hollywood has received in the past year from elitist film critics (Roger Ebert declared 2000 as "not a great year for movies,") if the holiday season was any indication, audiences enjoyed more than their share of decent movies. While some were remarkably forgettable ("Vertical Limit," "Dude, Where's My Car?"), others turned out to be among the best films of the year ("Traffic," "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"). Here, then, is a sampling of holiday film reviews, courtesy of Scene's movie critics.
