New G-Bay Will Enliven Enrollment
It’s a stressful time of the quarter. While contending with midterms, we’re simultaneously required to register for the next round of classes. Who among us hasn’t had to flip a textbook’s pages with one hand while clicking away with the other, pleading – nay, praying – for an adequate connection to GOLD during a last-second cram session?
TGIF To Bring New Energy To Sustainable Appliances
For this spring’s campus-wide elections, students must decide whether or not to support The Green Initiative Fund (TGIF), the campaign for which involves neither tasty eateries nor the ABC network’s old Friday night lineup.
Hard Candy | Hard as Nails
The first things you will notice about “Hard Candy” is a lot of intriguing cinematography, odd lighting, the use of some nifty colors, angles and other camera effects. This is all that director David Slade had to offer in an attempt to keep you entertained while his story unfolds rather slowly before you.
Gauchos To Host Anteaters
With only six Big West Conference games remaining for the UCSB women’s basketball team, every contest becomes crucial. The second-place Gauchos (11-20 overall, 6-2 in the Big West) play host to fifth-place Irvine in the Thunderdome tonight at 7.
Campus Democrat Adopts Ways of Opposition

Captivating Show To Contribute to S.B. United Way
Hermanos Unidos invites students to get hypnotized and rock out at a spellbinding benefit show for the United Way tonight. Proceeds from the show directly benefit Santa Barbara County’s United Way annual fundraising campaign, which supports initiatives and local service programs such as the YMCA, said Steve Ortiz, senior campaign executive for United Way and alumni advisor for Hermanos Unidos.
Walking on the Moon
Rolling Stone designated them “the next big thing” in the late ’70s. When Sting and the Police’s drummer, Stewart Copeland, takes us through the rise and fall of three Police rock ‘n’ roll legends, it is anything but a quirky reality show with washed-up musicians trying to compete for the title of Has-Been of the Year.
Our Pathetic Parking Situation Leads to Automotive Frustration
I am concerned about the campus parking enforcement occurring on nights and weekends. Over the last six months or so, the parking permit machines around campus have consistently failed to dispense night and weekend permits for students.
Community To Drive Transportation Needs
Locals have the chance to help the county get the wheels moving on new public transportation programs today, as the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments (SBCAG) hosts a public hearing on unmet transit needs.
Closing Time
There’s something heartwarming about Philip Seymour Hoffman, and it isn’t just that scruffy teddy bear look he’s been sporting as of late. In front of an overflowing theater of friends and fans, Hoffman appeared not only humbled, but truly touched after receiving the Santa Barbara International Film Festival’s illustrious Riviera Award this past Saturday night.
