It is widely acknowledged that UCSB is a pretty weird place. It’s the type of place that when you hear about puppy love, it most likely has something to do with bestiality.
One of the best artists in Nexus history will sit alongside Hollywood heavyweights in a panel discussion today. Kazu Kibuishim, Nexus art director from 1997 to 2000, will participate in the Film Studies Dept.’s Career Panel 2004, to be held today at Girvetz 1004 at 2 p.m.
It is rather pathetic that a so-called Nexus columnist like Loren Williams has to resort to his professed xenophobic ideals to pump up his puerile and ignorant rants.

When they cloned Dolly the lamb, I wasn’t impressed. My dad’s from New Zealand. I’ve seen sheep. They’re pretty much the same – hooves, wool, pea-sized brain. I hear now they’ve cloned more animals, like frogs and aardvarks and whatnot. But I’m not impressed, Mr. Scientist.
Even Eric Schlosser was surprised when the vast majority of Wednesday night’s packed Campbell Hall audience raised their hands to admit having smoked marijuana. “I have to tell you, that’s slightly higher than the national average,” said Schlosser, author of the best-selling book Fast Food Nation.
