Storytelling is really aboutidentiying with other peoplesstories, Goldman said. When youhear certain stories, somethingkind o sticks with you, and hitsyou emotionally, he added. Tecommon ground gained rom theart o oral storytelling providesboth teller and listeners a space whh t t.

to participate, but members alsoplace a high premium on reningtheir storytelling skills. Te groupuss t y stry-tg,but as rtqu ad aayss. Iother eorts to round out its skills,

the group also listens to proes-sionals tell stories, play gamesad dsuss drt strytgthqus.

By hearing proessionals, stu-

dents learn what good storytellingreally is. Everyone has a story,but theyre not necessarily greatat communicating that story, saidDaniel Sobor 15, a member o theub. Yu d t st t gdstories to be able to tell your own,h sad.

Because critique better engages

the audience, it helps to create acommon experience. he in-creased emphasis on technique didnot limit tellers in their range otopics at the groups uesday nightmeeting.

It is commonplace or academicdisciplines to laud their own inte-gration o theory and practice, as i

suh a m sttutd brdgga gap. But one cannot combinetwo things that are always alreadytogether and which are not eventw thgs.

Wh I s my prs rg atthe word theory its so ab-stract! I hesitate to rip themaway rom the comorting delusion

that their studies are not theoreti-cal or abstract but rather in direct

contact with real ity. But one musty tak a k at th hagg,disputable and ultimately inad-equate denitions o reality tops ths dus.

Ststs, shars ad artstsak ha g b s as tra-sure hunters, diving deep belowth g uss, s ad -ficting data to reach the reality otruth and beauty. But the supposed one might say, theoretical treasure will never present itselwithout the observer contributingt ths prstat.

One may argue that theoriescome rom observations. But Ein-

stein himsel Einstein, people argued the reverse, telling Heisen-berg that it is the theory whichdecides what can be observed.Ten quantum physics came along

to show us that the theory also de-termines what cannot be observed.

Ts s th as th ss though, as an exception, the-oretical math is known as puremath, as i application would con-taminate it but lets examine the

as th arts.We are accustomed to the belie

that we live in a world o matterand mind, things and ideas. But

things are ideas, and matter ismd. W thk t abut phys-cal objects in the world, but aboutour conceptions o them, whichar hd tgthr by ur thrsabout the world and are invariablydstat rm th wrd ts.

Some are creative enough to al-

ter these conceptions by represent-

ing them in novel ways, provingthat theory is not merely applied to

art, but can also be urthered by it.Te thought came to me as I

browsed next semesters coursergs that th Dpartmt Teatre Arts and PerormanceStuds ds ths bttr tha th-ers. Perhaps this is because thepractice o stepping into some-ones shoes requires a theory about

them. Te perormers body lan-guage, gestures and sounds have

to occur as i they are in a given

stuat.Tis as i is a dening part o

theory. Te French psychoanalystFrancoise Dolto once said in aninterview, What people call mytheory, I dont believe is a theory,I believe everything happens asi. Regardless o what is behindconcrete sounds and images, thetheory gets the vocal chords orpencil or paintbrush to behave asi a believable and engaging ideas at stak.

Teater also ts nicely with thetheoretical idea rst put or-ward by Judith Butler o per-

rmatty, th assumpt aidentity. It happens as much onthe street as on the stage. Tis ap-pars t b th da bhd bthAPS 1630: Perormativity andthe Body: Staging Gender, StagingRace and APS 1690: Peror-mance, Art and Everyday Lie,bth rd t smstr.

From my own experience, writ-

g asss ud us tmpa-tion beyond the mere what didyou think o this book? the

most interesting part to me islearning about the psychologi-a rats th authr amd tk th radr ad sua

arts proessors could put moreemphasis on teaching studentst y, r dsr, -cepts through their work. Visualart lends itsel to discussions oepistemology, culture and otherprud tps.

For any art orm, theory isdd rprstg pp. Iyu wat t wrt, pay r draw a

character demographically dier-ent rom yoursel, it is crucial toconsider the inuence o actorssuch as gender, race and socio-m ass.

I know Im getting into hotwater with hipster-haters, so let

me acknowledge that this is alltheoretical drivel. But so is thetheory-practice distinction. Itsnever really one or the other. Andrevolutions can only start with new

Rather than turning to broad-scale

plate tectonics to investigate earth-

About 10 years ago, the two be-gan to examine the relationshipbetween the rate at which rockaces slide past one another andthe strength o the rictional orcesbtw thm. Ardg t thr

study, heat is generated almost ex-clusively at microscopic contactpoints when rock aces slide pastah thr.

Under normal speeds, thegratd hat has tm t spradacross the entire rock. But as platesapproach earthquake speeds, heatdoes not have time to escape thecontact points, producing an e-t ad fash hatg, Gdsbysaid. Flash heating can result intemperatures o up to 1,800 degrees

Csus.As the contact points get warm-

er, the heat decreases the rictionalorces between the rocks and they

Once speeds reach 100 milli-meters per second, rock strengthplummets, Goldsby said. I theirrictional-reducing model is cor-rect, once rock aces reach thatrta spd, a pst dbakloop is created. Weakened ric-tional orces allow the rocks tosp mr quky.

T atast authr MamGladwell wrote a piece or Grant-land.com two months ago de-bunking the theory that buying an

NBA team is a business decision.He claims its done or the ownersegos, and I agree. I a man told you

that he had bought a Matisse, buthe was rustrated with the costs o

kpg t gd dt adthat he wanted it to start generat-

ing money or him, you would callhim unreasonable. He bought thepainting to look at and show toother people as a status symbol. prtd that h bught t as amy-gratr s sy.

A ma buys a NBA tam b-cause he loves basketball or be-aus h wats t b rgzdas a man who can make important

decisions that will aect a lot opeople. Outside o the businesswrd, I dt thk may ppar abut Rbrt Kra. But b-aus h ws th Patrts, -struction workers rom the South

So by all means, NBA owners,whine about your missing $370m as thugh yu ddt -pect to lose money. You are allsome o the smartest businessmen

in the world, and you are going toam that yu ddt kw thrwud b rsks? I thk yu dd.I think you knew youd be able

Atr pstg a prt 3-0 -conerence record, the ootballteam will resume Ivy League playtomorrow against Princeton atBrw Stadum. h Bars (3-,0- Iy) w b kg r thrrst Iy w atr ag 24-7 their conerence opener againstHarvard (3-1, 2-0), which is cur-rty td r rst th stad-gs wth Ya (3-, 2-0).

h Bars am ut tp the past our matchups againstPrinceton (1-3, 1-0), so upper-classmen on the team have all

experienced victory against thegrs.

But wide receiver Jonah Fay12 who scored his irst ca-reer touchdown in last seasonsPrinceton game said the igers

ha mprd ah yar h hasplayed against them. He cited lastseasons game, in which Brunotrad 3-0 gg t hatm,as a tight match the Bears almostdrppd. hugh th grs arurrty -3, Fay sad th tamat udrstmat thm.

I sm thr gams (ths

sas), thy had a gd hato win, he said. heyre athletic,

so it always gives them a goodha t w ay gam.

Saety Stephen Peyton 12 alsoakwdgd th grs w ba tough opponent, particularly

since Browns ormer oensivecoordinator, James Perry 00, isnow a second-year coach at Princ-

eton. Perry was also a quarterbackat Brw ad s th Iy Lagusall-time leading passer. Hellhave their squad up to play us,Pyt sad.

Princeton will have to breakthrough a staunch Brown deense,which Peyton leads with lineback-

ers Matthew ODonnell 12 andDaniel Smithwick 12. Peytonwas named Ivy League DeensivePlayer o the Week or his playagast Hy Crss ast wk. Ithe win, Peyton had 10 tacklesand an interception and brokeup two passes. ODonnell andSmthwk ah had taksin the game. ODonnell has aver-aged 9.8 tackles per game, whichraks hm sd th agu.

Brunos deense should be back

at ull strength with the return -apta ds ma

Kyle Rettig 12. Rettig did notplay against Holy Cross due to

a tweaked muscle, accordingt Pyt, but h sad Rttg hasbeen practicing this week andshud b rady t pay.

On the oensive side, Fay saidstarting tight end Nicholas Faber12 is expected to return to thelineup. In the Governors Cupgame against the University oRhode Island Oct. 1, Faber wascarted o the ield on a stretcherand loaded into an ambulanceater being upturned and land-ing on his head. here were noraturs hs k ad h ddt sur a uss.

Co-captain quarterback KyleNewhall-Caballero 11.5 has been

the oensive anchor, averaging just short o 250 passing yardsper game. Against Holy Cross,he threw or 229 yards and twotuhdws.

Atr bg trptd thrtms ad umbg tw thHarard gam, th tam has tsurrendered any turnovers in thepast tw gams.

he turnover battle is alwayssomething Coach Estes preaches,Peyton said. I think the turnover

ratio weve got going right now isjust a testament to how weve been

grwg as a tam.In addition to Newhall-Ca-

balleros aerial power and ball

security, the team is looking tomaintain a balance between rush-ing and passing during this weeks

G (pt) yurss.I sat back in my chair and

wrinkled my orehead at what Ihad just written. An Ivy Leagueeducation in writing and this wasth bst I ud mustr. Hw ddI get to this point? I thought backto last year, which eatured themost entertaining NBA seasonin recent memory. It was thenthat the NBA solidied itsel asmy avorite sports league. Nowhere we are, no more than ourmonths later, and labor disagree-ments have compounded into aerce lockout. Just like that, all ths gd gs ha bfushd dw th tt.

NBA commissioner DavidStern cancelled the rst two weekso the regular season Monday aer

a th-hur da r a w -t bargag agrmt through and I like many otheras strrd mys t wrt aimpassioned letter. wo hourslater, those three words were stilla I ud thk . T pt vocabulary is nding preciselythe right way to express what youwant to communicate. But withths NBA kut, I dt d a

structure to voice my displeasure.I dont need to sel ect my vocabu-lary with the measured delicacythat dened Jane Austen. I justneed a verb, a crass slang termad a rf pru.

Why, that seems a bit dramat-ic and overblown, dont you think,

Sam? you might ask. Maybe, but

thr ar y a w rass thatbasketball isnt being played rightnow and they are all things thata ur-yar-d ud gur ut.Te NBA employs thousands opp a yar ad stmuats theconomies o participating cities,and thats important to rememberwhen discussing this. Tis is about

more than just billionaires versusmars. Ts s abut a sg-nicant number o jobs across the

utry. S why ar ths ppmissing two weeks o pay? Letsd ut.
