Girl Power
Gender was just about all that the speakers in last Saturday’s “Creative Forces: Women in the Biz” panel at the Lobero Theatre had in common, for their stories were as diverse as their individual crafts. In the female-dominated costume design industry, Mary Zophres (“No Country for Old Men”) and Rita Ryack (“Hairspray”) said they do not feel threatened by sexism or ageism.

En Route to Canada
Seriously people? McCain and Clinton? I realize that most of you probably voted for Obama because it’s the hip student thing to do, but what a disappointing day for California. Forget immigration, the economy, the war or any other issues; I only care about two facts. First, if McCain wins the election and serves two […]
Lakers Make a Scary Playoff Foe
Growing up a Lakers fan, I’ll admit I’ve been pretty spoiled. From watching Magic and “Showtime,” to seeing Jerry West – Mr. NBA logo himself – steal Shaq from Orlando, there really haven’t been too many bad years.
Staying Atop Food Chain Yields Murderous Mayhem
I hadn’t had any real food the whole day, so I decided I had no choice but to grab one of those ass UCen sandwiches. I was just about to reach my goal when this pasty, Irish-looking dude blocked my path with a flyer. “Direct action against the war,” he said.
