The University of Idaho Women's Center is hosting a rotating exhibit featuring a different artist each month. This month, as the last Women's Center project for 2001, a photography exhibition is scheduled. The 78-year-old Moscow artist Dorothy Gullicksen will exhibit her photography. A part of the program "Meet the Artist," the exhibition is organized in collaboration with the Women's Caucus for Arts: Moscow Chapter.
The new exhibit features the photography of Gullicksen, who is the most senior member of the Moscow Women's Caucus of Art. Gullicksen, also known as DAC, will exhibit color photographs, which she explains as very eager, eclectic and welcoming to anything that catches her eye or intrigues her.

McCartney returns

CHRIS KORNELIS
Assistant A&E editor

Paul McCartney is great; there's no doubt about it. He recently released "Driving Rain," his first album of original material since his 1997 EMI release "Flaming Pie." "Driving Rain" is also McCartney's first album since the death of his wife, Linda McCartney, an experience reflected in several of the songs on the album.
Those acquainted with McCartney's work after the Beatles will find these songs surprisingly familiar. The 15 tracks on the album have the musicianship and songwriting style of his older work, which fuse many different styles, ranging from straight up rock 'n' roll to the India-inspired sound that defined his work with the Beatles in the late 1960s.

Song of loss performed at Arena Stage

by Aristita Albacan

The Student Theatre Organization will present "The Shadow Box" by Michael Christopher for its last show of the year at 7:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday
The 1977 Tony and the Pulitzer prizes winner by Michael Christopher is a daring, ironic and unsentimental meditation on life, love and death.
The drama is, at times, funny (though bittersweet), cutting, rough, and musical. Tthis play is a sort of secular prayer to the human spirit under the hand of fatal disease.
The play features three families coming to grips with the death of a loved one in the setting of a cottage or "shadow box." Blue-collar worker Joe (Jason Pasqua) will pass on soon, and his wife, Maggie (Andra Carlson), is in such denial she won't enter the cottage and has yet to tell their 14-year-old son Steve (Wesley Alley) his father is dying.

Local bands tear it up in Moscow scene

A mass of people crowded into a neighborhood living room last Friday night to catch three rounds of loud local rock. The lack of floor space and the heat of tightly packed bodies didn't seem to discourage many from enjoying the PG-13s, Everyone Dies Alone, and an as-of-yet-unnamed band.
The moniker-less quartet played first and pounded out some fast and energetic
garagey punk. The band's music was tight and the hammering 4/4 beats compelled most of the crowd to bob their heads in enjoyment. However, the vocals didn't seem to carry the same power as the rest of the instruments and could have been used more effectively.
