by Matt Toyama

October 17, 2007 | Leave a Comment

Everyday, we encounter numerous workers—invisible faces. Have you ever cared to think about their lives? You know… the people that serve your food, pick up your trash, and answer your phone calls. The people that clean up your shit in the toilets and make sure the grass is short enough for you to sunbathe on, [...]

What do you do with a 75-foot long 100-ton Blue Whale carcass laying on your beach? Better yet, what do you do with three of them? The easiest way to dispose of these massive beasts has simply been to tow them out to sea.
Throughout September, three dead Blue Whales were found around the Santa Barbara [...]

What Is The University?
by Richard McChesney

October 17, 2007 | 1 Comment

This column explores the university, it’s problems and potential. More specifically we’ll be looking at the University of California, the biggest and baddest (and I mean bad in a literal sense) university in the world. We’ll be touching on very fundamental issues of governance and function of the university from a critical perspective. [...]

I never thought I could enjoy a meal with a giant poster of Jerry Seinfeld hanging over me, but after going to Bitterman’s Deli, I simply relish the thought of a second meal beneath his gaze. To be completely honest, I don’t really like Jerry Seinfeld all that much, but there is something about watching [...]

A fantastic funeral procession, involving flying angels, an upside-down bicyclist, acrobatic bed jumping juveniles, and a downpour of rubber chickens; this is Cirque de Soleil’s Corteo. Corteo, and Italian word for a ceremonial procession, is a delightful acrobatic journey through a clown’s dream of his own death, and the fantastic parade that entails his [...]

October 17, 2007 | Leave a Comment

Privy as they are to the lowest standards of broadcast and print journalism, our national media have failed yet again to address substance-bearing issues. While Rupert Murdoch and other media barons did whatever they do besides officiate faulty news corporations, civil rights were disposed of in a series of racially charged incidents in the Deep [...]

by Valerie McNutt

October 17, 2007 | Leave a Comment

Every movie has an official tagline and an unofficial one. The official tagline for Eastern Promises, the new film from David Cronenberg, is every sin leaves a mark. The unofficial tagline, and the only thing that I had heard about the movie before it showed at Campbell Hall last Friday, was that Viggo Mortensen did [...]
