Thanks to resolutions passed unanimously by the Student Association Assembly, students will soon see more blue-light emergency phones, better campus lighting and extended hours at the Undergraduate Library.Protection against the Faculty Senate's changes in grading policy, however, may prove harder to come by, as the power of the Assembly's rebuking resolution is limited.Assembly Chair Hassan Shibly called the blue-light and library resolutions a real victory."There have been break-ins and there have been crimes on campus, and that's something that may be more easily prevented just with the lighting," he said.

Lewis Black may not be able to shake his spastic angry finger at you through the speakers, but his characteristic wit and in-your-face attitude on his new CD "The Carnegie Hall Performance" is just like watching a performance of the irate comedian live."Lewis Black: The Carnegie Hall Performance" is a simply titled double-album chock full of all the expected maniacal, political and diabolical ideas from the comedian and playwright who is perhaps most famous for his Back in Black segment on "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart."The first track may give listeners the wrong impression, as Black goes on for a while about how Carnegie is an inappropriate venue for a puissant like himself because respectable composers like Leonard Bernstein have performed there.
