Sayonara Sag-Faces — It’s Been Apathetic

By Chris Kokiousis

I’ve always felt like the odd one out at UCSD. The moment I walked into my Tioga freshman triple, I felt isolated — I realized I was going to be the token white kid for an entire year, and I’d never experienced such culture and identity shock. Whenever I’d peek into my suitemates’ rooms on a [...]

When Life Gives You Hate, Make a Musical

By Simone Wilson

If you’ll accept my disclaimer: I do understand the tenderness of this topic. Racist gags at UCSD, all inexcusable, have been consuming our thoughts and guts for almost three weeks now; personally, it’s hard to remember a time when Geisel Library made me think of cool spaceships instead of lynches/punctured pillowcases, or the days when [...]

Heartbreak, in Four Panels

By Philip Rhie

I’m gonna be honest here and say that the request for this week’s column has been a little more than awkward. I don’t have anything to really say, since nothing’s really been going on in my head besides my personal and professional (read: academic) life. But, having just finished drawing my latest strip, I figure that, [...]

He’s just a 24-year-old hip-hop beatmaker/ first-year computer-music Ph.D. candidate with a thing for staying up all night making music. “Oh man, the [...]

THEATER

Pants-off Dance-off

By Gretchen Wegrich

It may be grim, but there’s enough humor in Anton Chekhov’s dark comedy “The Seagull,” this week’s headliner at Mandell Weiss Forum, that you can leave your Prozac at home. Silly and sad, it’s perfect date fodder for a mismatched couple. Konstantin, a young and unappreciated playwright, is at the center of a messy love pentagon [...]

The Ruby Suns Aren’t Here to Impress You
