“Friday the 13th” to the Nth Degree **
You already know if you want to see “Friday the 13th” or not. If you can hum or pant the iconic score, you might very well enjoy the movie. But if it takes more than blood, tits and hockey masks to get you going, you’re likely to be extremely bored. Personally, I almost fell asleep.
Solar-Loans: A Borrowing Solution
I come bearing little grievance toward our current credit crisis. It is what it is, as they say, and the past cannot be undone. We must now study the constriction in lending through the eyes of the banker and the borrower, identify obstructions and then formulate and implement worthwhile solutions. From a banker’s perspective, the […]
Farr Moves Into I.V. HQ
Following through on a campaign promise, 3rd District Supervisor Doreen Farr invited students to join her for a reception at her new Isla Vista district office yesterday.
Spikers Brace for Top Tier Teams
With four of their last five losses coming in the fifth and final set, the #13 Spikers have been through a rollercoaster of emotions both physically and mentally. They have battled back and forth with several of the top teams in the nation, setting up for the upset before upsetting themselves by letting match after match slip through their fingers.
Charming, But Slight ***
Morrissey has been freakishly successful in his attempt to separate himself from the legendary Smiths. It is an understandably difficult task for an artist to surgically remove him or herself from the original group. Probably a lot like leaving the womb. Even members of the Beatles didn’t really seem to flourish on their own (Paul McCartney is an arguable exception in several respects).
A.S. Meets for Eight Hours
Minutes before the Associated Students Legislative Council meeting was set to end, members of Don’t Cut Us Out – a coalition of students fighting the administrative tax on non-state funded entities – stormed in with news about the tax during last night’s prolonged eight-hour meeting.
SB Starving For Anteater Feast
The UCSB men’s tennis team takes on Big West rival UC Irvine this Friday in what Head Coach Marty Davis is calling the biggest match of the season. UCSB will need to pull out all the stops to defeat the Anteaters, who many are calling the Big West favorites despite that title being held by UCSB for three straight years.
Within the Fray ***
It’s hard to believe that it has already been four years since the debut album of the Fray. The titular track for that album, “How To Save a Life,” became a huge television-fueled phenomenon of a single after being featured on popular shows such as “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Scrubs.” And as the band’s latest album shows, not much has changed.
Gauchos Ready To Bullrush Matadors
The Thunderdome is never an easy place to play for opposing squads, and this year’s UCSB women’s basketball team has made it even tougher. The Gauchos are 7-0 against Big West competition in its confines, and are trying to round out a perfect home conference season Saturday against Cal State Northridge on senior night.
The Academia Blues
Bored in class again, eh? Well then I have great news for you! As it turns out, the best way to kick away the academia blues is to imbibe like an Irish Catholic Priest. Don’t believe me? Well, all the cool kids are doing it. Ever see a girl with a bottle of Fiji water? […]
