Alex Arevalo could have decided to pull the brakes. He could have decided his absence during the fall was the end.  “The benefit of being a fall admit is that everyone is new and anyone can meet anyone,” said Arevalo. “Spring admits have to find a way to meet people because the time for [...]

April is when baseball players and teams stumble to find their footing, but it is also an opportunity to get away with early mistakes. So there’s time to remedy all the wrongs that have been committed—of which there are many. The theme of this young season: Down goes Goliath. In recent years, glory in the [...]

This weekend is all about original productions—and it’s also definitely a weekend to support your creative peers. The most wonderful part of student-produced work is that even if a scene doesn’t work, you are able to appreciate the immense amount of hard work that went into putting up the show in the first place. It is [...]

On the second season premiere of HBO’s most comedic new comedy Veep, it’s midterm election night and it seems Vice President Selina Meyer (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) actually helped on the campaign trail—though not enough to keep the House. I am no stranger to Armando Ianucci’s work; from The Thick of It (UK) to its spin-off feature [...]

Two weeks ago, I said that the Lakers were probably going to miss the playoffs. They must have heard me, since after that they reeled off four straight and to pull one game ahead in the loss column over the Utah Jazz, while a resurgent Dirk Nowitzki wasn’t able to pull the mediocre Dallas Mavericks [...]

Though the acceptance rate seems to have gone up, other measures of admitted students’ academic achievements are the same.

This weekend brings USC a total of FOUR productions- I hope you have a clear schedule! We have three SDA productions;  Mrs. Packard, Morning View and The Most Happy Fella,, and an independent student production The Pink House One Acts.
