There’s a Curious George in All of Us

The first thing I noticed the first time I ever visited Harvard a year ago was The World’s Only Curious George Store. Standing brightly and proudly at one of the three corners of the Square, it struck me as unique, clever, and significant––a symbol of innocence and childhood steps away from the world’s most prestigious university.

Today it is threatened with an uncertain fate, under pressure from the building’s lead investor to repurpose the building. There have been attempts to designate the building as historical, in an attempt to save another part of Harvard Square from falling to gentrification. As odd and niche as it is, I’m sure most of us can agree the Curious George store should stand. The last thing Harvard Square needs is another overblown parody of commercialism, the likes of a Tatte or Urban Outfitters, that tends to serve outsiders and visitors more than it does Harvard students.

Yes, you might say, isn’t Curious George the same thing? Its campiness and overstocked interior evokes that of a museum gift shop, and clearly is not meant for the college student demographic. But, I’ll reply, you miss the point: Its uniqueness and historical relevance cannot be razed. We’ve got twenty cafes in the Square, and similar numbers of clothing stores. We need some sense of uniqueness. Harvard Square is not a strip mall. (That’s what New Haven is for.)

In my experience, it seems as if precious few students here know exactly what and where the store is. During Opening Days last August, I went with a friend and purchased a shirt from the store. Whenever I wear the shirt, fellow-students always laugh and smile, and ask me where I purchased it. Many express surprise: “I didn’t know there was a Curious George store!”

I’ll smile but remain bemused: How does one not know where the store is? It occupies the single best piece of real estate in Harvard Square. Granted, we become accustomed to our surroundings quickly—it’s a rite of passage, for example, when a freshman finally takes the splendor and glory that is Annenberg Hall for granted and views it as just a dining hall.

And I will admit that unlike the two other stores that mark the vertices of Harvard Square, CVS and The Coop, students are rarely occasioned to visit Curious George in his home. When was the last time you visited the store, if ever? Yes, we’re college students—the store isn’t exactly tailored to our demographic, but one should at least visit it once.

Over winter break a few months ago, I happened to dine with one of my favorite high school teachers. One of the things we discussed was the role of children’s books, full of whimsy and fantasy and allegory.

“It’s a curious thing,” she said, “that the books that stay with us the most tend to be the books we read in childhood or as young adults.”

She was right: children’s books are irrevocable reminders of the beauty and ineffability of childhood. Whenever I read Madeleine, or The Cat in the Hat, or, yes, Curious George, to my seven-year-old sister, I’m always struck by how much these books have the power to entertain and amaze even adults. There is a reason why the humorist Stephen Butler Leacock once declared , “Personally, I would sooner have written Alice in Wonderland than the Encyclopedia Britannica.”

We must remember our childhood, a time that for many of us was full of dreams, of imagination, of innocence. I remember all the games I would play with friends, my brother, or my favorite stuffed animal, and dream of the future. Today, we reside in the world’s greatest university, a place where those dreams should be closer than ever to reach. And yet the purity of thought that characterizes childhood is often lost among us. Yes, we are not children. But can it be said we are adults? Legally, yes, but we all deal in one way or another the many worries, hopes and fears that characterize the turmoil of late adolescence, as we take stock of what our lives are to be in decades ahead.

Which is why I say: The next time you’re in the Square, go visit Curious George at his store, while it still stands in limbo. You might buy a shirt, as I did. You might stand around and look at the books that once entertained you, years ago. You might even recapture some of your childhood.

And in the midst of the turmoil that perpetually rocks this campus, and our lives, that might be the best thing for our mind and soul. There’s a Curious George inside all of us. We just have to become reacquainted with him.

Advanced Essay #2: Curious George Pt. 2

Almost every child goes through the phase of curiosity, and I was no different. At the age of 7, I wanted travel around the world with my best friend, Julie. Julie and I were inseparable,--physically and mentally--she was imaginary friend, even though she was a purple sprinkle. I sought advice from Julie everyday because she was always right, ever since she popped in my head a year before.This joyous time came to an end, when a fateful Saturday afternoon ruined our relationship.

“Mommy are we gonna get ice cream?” I questioned.

My mother swiftly turned around and gave my the death stare as if to say: ‘Don’t you dare ask me that question again’. My brain immediately registered the look and I slumped back into my car seat, staying silent.

We arrived at a place full of people. My mother, Julie, and I walked through a gate, leading to rows of golf clubs hanging, all different colors. My mother handed me one.

‘What is this, a bat?’

‘I don’t know maybe mommy wants us to play’

‘Play what?’

‘I don’t know Julie!’

‘Stop yelling at me! That’s not nice’

‘Alright, I am very sorry. I’ll ask mommy what it is’

My eyes trailed up to my mother, who was handing the man at the booth money. I tugged on her shirt. She ignored me, didn’t even bother to look down at me. I grabbed her shirt again, with a better grip, and pulled it again. She rotated. Her demeanor changed, and her face looked as though it was caving inwards, with her nose scrunched up.

My curiosity is just like building up a skill or habit, it’s something I was proud of, didn’t get ashamed or embarrassed by it. Although my mother constantly wondered why I was like this, it just came naturally to me, I couldn’t control it. It was like my brain needed to learn and understand what is going on, how everything works, and how to make sense of it all. Like Ta-Nehisi Coates said in the biography, Between the World and Me : “You are growing into consciousness, and my wish for you is that you feel no need to construct yourself to make other people comfortable.” Coates explains that people who use creativity or any other way that is different to interpret the world is inspiring, and nobody should make fun of it; instead let it be an example to aspire to.

We went through a lot of different golf courses, and I went skipping along with my club swinging around in circles. I was singing my favorite song: Leave Me Alone, by Michael Jackson. Right away, Julie started singing along.

‘So just leave me alone’

‘Leave me alone, leave me alone’

‘Leave me alone, stop it!’

‘Just stop doggin me around’

Our duet came to a stop, as the screech of my mother’s voice was heard. I stopped my music video and ran back towards her, realizing I sang my way past the pretty fountain. The fountain had a humongous gold golf ball on top, with four holes in the sides of the ball. In these holes, water poured out gracefully into a pool. Intrigued with the whole thing, my body moved towards the fountain on its own.

Next thing I knew I was standing right in front of the fountain, as I climbed up into the wall and looked over the rail and into the fountain water.

This gorgeous purple golf ball was staring directly at me.

‘You know you want it, just go get it’

‘No I can’t go in the water’

‘Then put ya hand in and get the ball’

‘Do it, you know we want it’

With an evil grin, I let curiosity take over me. I crawled under the rail and stood up. I stretched my arm out, to where the purple ball was, and wiggled my fingers to move closer. Without thinking, I leaned forward some more, way past my limit of balance. I fell head first into the fountain, making a huge commotion.

‘Julie, this is all your fault! We are not friends anymore.’

I grabbed my purple ball and got out of the fountain, and walked a couple of feet to where my mother was standing. She looked down at me and started laughing.

Many people people saw me as a bad little girl playing around, other than my mother. My curiosity lead me to a tool to learn and grow from my mistakes. Without curiosity, there would be nothing to try, therefore nothing to learn from in my life. Learning makes me intelligent, only a fool does not learn from his mistakes. My mother understood this about me, she knew my curiosity would get me in trouble.

“You did all of that to get a purple ball?” She said, with a puzzled look on her face.

I nodded my head and raised the ball to her face.

“You are so cute, let’s go get ice cream and sit in the sun.”

Even in The Giver , by Lois Lowry, everything is so plain and boring city and everyone has to follow the rules with no exceptions, but Jonas is different. When Jonas’s eyes are unusual, he is able to see color, when most people in the community cannot. He has an exceptional gift that allows him to see and interpret things different than everyone else; he is able to see “deeper” into the world that is around him, giving him the advantage of understanding and seeing life.

Jonas and I are just the same, the same glow in the eyes that say: extraordinary. We both are anxious about the world we live in, and we learn the exact same way.

The Production of Curious George

Updated 18 October 2023

Subject Movies

Downloads 36

Category Entertainment

The Show at DeBartolo Performing Arts Centre

The show was performed at the DeBartolo Performing Arts Centre inside the delightful Patricia George Decio Theatre under the production of Theatreworks USA –a professional art company which targets the young people and their families with their theatre across the US. The show is also facilitated by Universal Stage Productions.

The Simple Story

The story appears simple. George likes meatballs so much. He assists his friend Chef Pisghetti to make some in his restaurant in readiness to welcome a hungry crowd on the D-day. However, George and his friends notice that there is no hungry crowd ready to enjoy the meatballs. Inappropriately, the restaurant is next to Phinneas T. Lightspeed’s meatball machine that is super-fast and outshines the poor Chef Pisghetti’s efforts. The competition makes Chef Pisghetti swear not to continue cooking again. However, George enters Chef Pisghetti into another world famous meatball cooking contest in Rome, Italy. George together with his friends proceeds to the contest where they inevitably win thus learning appreciated lessons in their industry.

The Deeper Value

The show presents deeper value behind the shenanigans, fun, background music or the comical way in which George transports himself in a container to Italy. Children occasionally require such sugar-coating of the hard lessons in their lives. For example, the prop jar of “love” appears to be the secret ingredient in the meatball making. Glenn Giron, the director of the show packages important lessons in a manner that is relatable to their audience which is the young demographic. George is a good friend who does all he can to assists his friend renew his cooking fires. Despite Chef Pisghetti losing track of his vision due to the displeasure of his unsuccessful business, the power of George enables him to get back on track (a show of good friendship). Even though that may seem too cheesy for adults, it is perfect for the kids who are the audience.

The Superstar Cast

The cast of the show all comes out as superstars. It is easy to tell that all of them loved their roles onstage, and sincerely enjoyed themselves thus resonating with the audience. The dancing was made brief, physically challenging and passionate. The producers made many fun choices, for instance, the noises of ingredients striking the cooking pot, making the pans and lids be the instruments in the background music, and enabling the participation of the audience. The costumes were excellent, thorough and above attractive with comical and stereotypic elements that came directly from the kids’ books. The cast proved their experience and professionalism especially during their improvisation when a bowl of vegetables fell down.

The Amazing Casts

The casts were just amazing. For example, Andrew Howard who acted the Man with the Yellow Hat was excellent as George’s mentor. He seemed charmed by George just as the audience would. His role as a member of the ensemble made him dance and sing whenever others were changing costumes. Julian Soares (Netti) and the rest of ensemble characters amazed the audience as an adorable warm Italian woman with an impeccable accent that would resonate with Italian families. Owen Wingo (Curious George) received a delightful response from the audience with his monkey voice and consistent comedy. Felipe Bombonato (Chef Pisghetti) was born for the role. He stunned the Italian accent and caricature. His rediscovery of the cooking path after the contest in Rome is a sure lesson for all the audience. However, the show had some challenges such as low sound microphones and music that would make it hard to listen. Definitely, the show would require improvements in such areas for future productions.

Those Who Preach Free Speech Need to Practice It

Too many leaders, on campus and in government, are failing to uphold the First Amendment rights they claim to champion.

A photo of student protesters facing off against riot police.

Updated at 9:35 a.m. ET on April 30, 2024

Say you’re a college senior, just a few weeks from graduation. For as long as you can remember—even back in high school, before you set foot on campus—older people have talked about free speech. More specifically, older people have talked about free speech and you : whether your generation understands it, whether you believe in it, whether you can handle it.

After watching some of those same people order crackdowns on campus protests over the past few days, you might have a few questions for them.

Last week, from New York to Texas, cops stormed college campuses clad in riot gear. They weren’t there to confront active shooters, thank goodness, or answer bomb threats. Instead, they were there to conduct mass arrests of students protesting the war in Gaza.

As the legal director of a First Amendment advocacy nonprofit, I teach students across the country that the government can’t silence speakers because of their beliefs, even—and perhaps especially—if those beliefs are unpopular or cause offense. That’s a foundational principle of free-speech law. But many of the crackdowns appear to be a direct reaction to the protesters’ views about Israel.

After sending a phalanx of state law-enforcement officers into the University of Texas at Austin campus, for example, Governor Greg Abbott announced on X that students “joining in hate-filled, antisemitic protests at any public college or university in Texas should be expelled.”

Erwin Chemerinsky: No one has a right to protest in my home

But no First Amendment exception exists for “hate-filled” speech. And for good reason: In our pluralistic democracy, everyone has their own subjective idea of what, if any, speech is too “hateful” to hear, making an objective definition impossible. And empowering the government to draw that line will inevitably silence dissent.

At UT, the officers arrested scores of protesters for “ trespassing .” But the students don’t appear to have violated school rules. And you can’t trespass on a place where you have the right to be, as students at the public universities they attend clearly do. Even a cameraman for a local news station was tackled and arrested . The next day, the Travis County attorney’s office dropped all of the trespassing charges for lack of probable cause—a telling indicator of the disturbingly authoritarian response. (Shockingly, the cameraman does face a felony charge , for allegedly assaulting a police officer—an allegation difficult to square with video of his arrest.) The government can’t throw Americans in jail for exercising their First Amendment right to peaceful protest.

Governor Abbott’s illiberal show of force has no place in a free country. It’s especially galling given the governor’s previous posture as a stalwart defender of campus free speech: In June 2019, he signed a law prohibiting Texas’s public colleges and universities from shutting down campus speakers because of their ideology. So much for that.

Governor Abbott isn’t alone. During her congressional testimony earlier this month, Columbia University President Minouche Shafik pledged investigations of students and faculty who voiced allegedly anti-Semitic criticism of Israel and Zionism, and agreed—on the fly—to remove a professor from his position as a committee chair because of his speech.

Michael Powell: The unreality of Columbia’s ‘liberated zone’

Columbia is a private institution, so it isn’t bound by the First Amendment. But the university promises freedom of expression to its students and faculty—and Shafik’s willingness to sacrifice faculty and student rights to appease hostile members of Congress betrays those promises.

If such things had happened only at UT and Columbia, that would be bad enough—but the problem is spreading. At Emory University, in Atlanta, police officers reportedly used tear gas and Tasers against protesters. State troopers with rifles directed toward protesters stood watch on a rooftop at Ohio State University. At Indiana University, administrators rushed out a last-minute, overnight policy change to justify a similar show of force from law enforcement, resulting in 34 arrests. It’s hard to keep up.

Students nationwide are watching how the adults who professed to care about free speech are responding under pressure. And they are learning that those adults don’t really mean what they say about the First Amendment. That’s a dangerous lesson. Our schools and universities could still teach the country a better one.

“Free Speech 101” starts here: The First Amendment protects an enormous amount of speech, including speech that some, many, perhaps most Americans would find deeply offensive. You may not like pro-Palestine speech; you may not like pro-Israel speech. You may think some of it veers into bigotry. The answer is to ignore it, mock it, debate it, even counterprotest it. But don’t call in the SWAT team.

George Packer: The campus-left occupation that broke higher education

Granted, free speech is not without carefully designated exceptions, and these exceptions are important but narrow. True threats and intimidation, properly defined, are not protected by the First Amendment. Neither is discriminatory harassment. Violence is never protected.

And public universities can maintain reasonable “time, place, and manner” restrictions on speech. That means, for example, that for the authorities to place a ban on playing heavily amplified sound right outside the dorms at 2 a.m. likely does not violate the First Amendment. A prohibition on camping overnight in the quad probably doesn’t either. And taking over a campus building, as Columbia students did early this morning , is not protected.

But the enforcement of these rules must be evenhanded and proportionate. The use of force should be a last resort. Students must be given clear notice about what conduct crosses a line. And any student facing punishment for an alleged infringement should receive a fair hearing. Consistency counts. Our leaders—in government, in university administration—must demonstrate their commitment to free expression in both word and deed.

Students are protesting on campuses nationwide, and they’re watching the reaction of university presidents and elected officials closely. The current moment presents a generational challenge: Do older people and people in authority really mean what they say about the First Amendment? Do they believe in free speech—and can they handle it? Right now, too many leaders are failing the test.

The Curious Case Of George Washington III: Transfer Portal Bound Yet Again

Not long after adding Vlad Goldin, Michigan Basketball is once again parting ways with George Washington III.

Author: Eric Rutter

In this story:

To say George Washington III has had a turbulent offseason would be putting matters lightly. As of Monday afternoon, Washington III has entered the transfer portal for the second time in as many months, signaling another change of direction in his college basketball career.

BREAKING: George Washington III has re-entered the transfer portal. Best of luck GW — Davis Moseley (@DavisMoseley) April 29, 2024

After struggling to log consistent minutes during his freshman season at Michigan, Washington III first entered the transfer portal on March 18, just three days after U-M fired Juwan Howard. From there, Washington III’s eventual landing spot was not clear, but neither was the trajectory of the Wolverines’ basketball squad since U-M didn’t name Dusty May as its next head coach until almost a week later on March 24.

Since all that occurred, Michigan’s basketball roster for the 2024-25 season has been in a constant state of flux. Primarily, May has been working overtime to pull in talented collegiate hoopers from the transfer portal (a la former FAU big man Vlad Goldin , which Brandon covered here ) as his new team began to take shape. Now with a more fleshed out squad, May is pushing to transform Michigan into a tournament team right out of the gate. In total, May has added six hoopers from the transfer portal in just over one month on the job, so the Wolverines team is going to look entirely new and revamped next season, which is part of the idea after U-M experienced jarring low points last year.

As it pertains to Washington III, his reentrance to the transfer portal would spell the end to his time at Michigan and open up another scholarship for May to allocate in the process.

Last year, Washington III featured in 22 games (all off the bench) for the Wolverines but couldn’t get much going during his 6.5 minutes per game, posting a career-high 10 points against Purdue during the Big Ten season. Now, the former Gatorade Ohio Basketball Player of the Year (2023) will be surveying his options at other schools in his search for more consistent playing time.

As a result, Michigan is expected to pursue another guard with the extra scholarship at the Wolverines’ disposal.

My gut tells me watch for Michigan to get involved with an impact guard. Need one for sure — Davis Moseley (@DavisMoseley) April 29, 2024

Here is how the Michigan Basketball roster currently looks with the addition of Goldin and subtraction of Washington III included:

After almost a year of assessing and evaluating the functioning of the Deans’ Office, including analysis of the community surveys last year, we have worked to create a more holistic, and thus less reactive, approach to supporting students and to improve channels of communication into, around, and out of the department.

The Class Deans are:

Grade 12: Carly Wassel
Grade 11: Theresa Montagna
Grade 10: Kim Bryant
Grade 9: Lazarus Bruner, Jr.

The Office of Student Life is grateful to the community for providing valuable feedback that helped to inform this new office structure. We are excited to be expanding and shifting the office in these vital ways and enhancing our work together in support of our students.
