A Dollar Store Book Review
May 15, 2013 | Anne Ferguson When it comes to books I've found that price is not reflective of quality. Many of the least expensive hard-copy books available today are considered classic masterpieces. So I concluded very early on that you should never judge a book by its price, and when in doubt, read it anyway! Which brings us Read More
The Context of Radical Islam
May 13, 2013 | Rohit Islamic radicalism is one of those issues that the American media always completely fails to properly analyze. Recall back to the aftermath of 9/11 - the airwaves were cluttered with talk about "why do they hate us?" and the "clash of civilizations" and other polarizing, binary rhetoric. I actually Read More
6 Million Ways to Strengthen America
May 12, 2013 | Jason Chen What I've come to love most about my time in Berkeley is the vibrancy of the local business community. Out with your Olive Gardens, your Cheesecake Factories, and your Coldstones; give me Gypsy's, Jupiter, and Ici. Beyond the occasional Subway or American Apparel (does anyone actually buy things from Read More
Important Life Lessons from Harry Potter
May 12, 2013 | Arielle Schussler In less than 2 weeks, my time as a Cal Bear will be coming to a close. As such, I considered all the important life lessons I have learned...and realized that they are all from Harry Potter. Sorry Berkeley, but I am the Harry Potter generation. I read my first Harry Potter book in 3rd grade and have Read More
Summer Storage Options for the Long-Distant Soul
May 11, 2013 | Brea Weinreb The time has come that we’ve all been dreading - not finals, but spring move-out. If, like me, you hail from thousands of miles away, or if you’re just too lazy to transport your belongings back to your home, here are some options of summer storage that will take the pressure off of move-out. Collegeboxes This Read More
50 Fun Ways to Fail Your Finals
May 11, 2013 | Sydney Johnson If Dead Week hasn't already killed you, then you're likely on track for finals next week. I use the phrase "on track" rather loosely, as some of us seem to be riding a smooth-sailing Monorail, while others are clinging to the roof of a derailing steam train. If you more easily imagined your journey Read More
Saying Goodbye to the SFMOMA
May 10, 2013 | Brea Weinreb A resident New Yorker for eighteen years, I have been to my fair share of art museums. The Guggenheim, the Met, the MoMa, even the Frick… you name it, I’ve perused their galleries and soaked up the sun (or frigid winter snow) in their outdoor gardens. However, upon coming to Berkeley last semester, Read More
FAST Spring ’13 Fashion Show
May 10, 2013 | Erica Hendry Last Sunday night, UC Berkeley made it work. In the Chevron Auditorium at International House, Fashion and Student Trends (FAST), UC Berkeley’s student-run organization that aims to connect Cal students with the fashion industry, ran its semi-annual fashion show. The show featured pieces from Read More
Celtics Battle With Heart and Resilience All the Way Until the End
May 9, 2013 | Calvin Hwang Last season, the Boston Celtics were ruled out any chances of making an NBA playoff run by numerous fans and analysts. However, they proved speculators wrong. Led by their veteran Big Three, the Celtics pushed their way deep into the NBA playoffs, taking the more talented Miami Heat to Game 7 of the Read More
Outside Lands 2013: It’s Not All About the Headliners
May 9, 2013 | Kiyana Salkeld | One Comment The official Outside Lands 2013 lineup was released just over two weeks ago, and, I will admit, I found myself feeling a bit underwhelmed at first. The big name bands I had hoped for - The xx, Alt-J, The Lumineers, Mumford and Sons, The Postal Service, etc. - were noticeably absent; essentially, Read More
