Donal Logue '88 explains his roommate Tarver's modesty in terms of his local--as opposed to global--outlook. Tarver's identity has emerged simultaneously from three disparate cultures: the Boston underground music scene, his home town of San Antonio, Texas, and Harvard. Tarver's fascination with local communities appears in both his musical and academic interests. In the past few years, he has participated in the Boston music community's search for alternative forms of expression; and last year he observed and documented the struggle of a group of San Antonio parents fighting for their children's right...
...boats, temperature gauges screwed into the hull guide anglers to cool underground springs in ponds and lakes where fish like to congregate on hot summer days. Similarly, pH meters dragged at various depths help locate acidity "clines," or layers, where fish are apt to feed. Lake Systems Division's $630 Multi-C-Lector, in addition to measuring temperature and pH, also detects water clarity clines, using an underwater light meter. It then suggests which color lures are most likely to catch a fish...

The Manhattan-based composer is enjoying acclaim for the recent premieres of his two latest works: the concerto, subtitled Maps, performed in Kansas City, and Notes from the Underground, an orchestral piece, in New York City. Two seasons ago, his powerful first opera, X (The Life and Times of Malcolm X), caused a sensation at the New York City Opera, and Davis is now at work on a science-fiction opera called Under the Double Moon (with a libretto...
...jazz, it is carefully controlled and expertly planned. Imagine Ellington's lush, massed sonorities propelled by Bartok's vigorous whiplash rhythms and overlaid with the seductive percussive haze of the Balinese gamelan orchestra, and you will have an idea of what both the Concerto and Notes from the Underground sound like...
