The Cleveland Institute of Music student orchestra took center stage Oct. 27 in a special collaboration with CIMs new president Joel Smirnoff in a lively program of works by Mozart, Bartók, and Beethoven. The level of playing from the orchestra, violin soloist, and conductor re-affirmed why the school is one of the worlds leading music conservatories, and why the community benefits from performances that are on par with professional orchestras.

Conviction is the real-life story of how Betty Anne Waters (Hilary Swank) earned a law degree to get her brother Kenny (Sam Rockwell) out of prison for a crime he didnt commit. What could have easily been an uninteresting magazine article has been stretched into a painfully boring feature film.

Nestled between the Peter B. Lewis Building and the Case Law School, parked in the Cleveland Institute of Arts parking lot, a behemoth awaits. From a distance it looks like a giant red octopus wearing a hat, but do not fear, its just a graphic on the side of a gnarly food truck.

Walking across the Canadian Tire Bridge, on my way from my Stats class that ended at 10:00 p.m., Ive always wondered why the school was so dark at night especially when they have classes running so late.From the corner of my eye, an orange glow lingers, which I dismiss as lights from the construction on the new building by Plaza – they are always working at weird times of the day.

In an office overlooking the University and its host city in all their splendors of Falls fiery colours, resides an individual that many may not know by name – an individual that means as much to Brock as the namesake we celebrate, the badger we compete by, the campus pub we cherish and the colour we wear proudly.
