Today, change is often our idea of progress. Or to put it another way, changes are always caught up in, and manipulated by, our ideals of progress. Instead of asking ourselves what we can do, we ask ourselves who we want to become. These desires for metamorphosis chart the course of our lives. Yet, how much are we in control of our changing? Do we always get the changes we want? And, if we don’t control our metamorphoses, who does?

Content Warning: This article contains references to suicide, eating disorders and sexual abuse. This cult classic has undergone many evolutions since it was first written in 1989, but its popularity and fun have not diminished with time. Very much a product of the ‘80s, the musical deals with themes that seem unlikely to work on stage; teen suicide, bulimia, date rape and highschoolers pulling guns on their classmates (it’s not exactly ‘Les Mis’, is it?).

The men's waterpolo was a fast-paced, exciting game to watch. The trajectory of the match was decided in the second quarter when Lancaster powered ahead in the scoreboard. York had a resurgence in the third quarter but it was too big a mountain to climb. Lancaster took the win with a score of 16 and York followed behind with 11 points. However, a goal deficit of five is a huge improvement on last year’s 29-8 loss.
