Led Zeppelin's music is famous for its vivid, dramatic and orchestral quality. Now that the group is disassembled, the opportunity to experience a performance of their music with a full orchestra on board is a thrilling one.The Buffalo Philharmonic with Randy Jackson, an expert Robert Plant impersonator, performed at Kleinhans Music Hall Saturday night.It was an informal evening by philharmonic standards: musical conductor Brent Havens donned a leather jacket with a Cadillac logo on the back - a reference to the Cadillac commercials featuring "Rock and Roll" - as he rocked back and forth, grooving to the music while leading the orchestra.The show opened with the classic "A Whole Lotta Love," an odd choice for a symphonic adaptation, with its irregular meanderings and strident vocals.

With the election for next year's Student Association leadership starting on Tuesday, the most crowded race in years is starting to live up to its billing, as each party is expected to be campaigning heavily in the coming days.So far, the competition hasn't spurred any major clashes, but while many students remain apathetic, some have expressed worry over various issues the election has created (see "Letters to the Editor, page 5). And if endorsements are any indicator, the student body seems certainly to be divided.
