Faculty duo show their musical side

Every day, pop music bombards people through the radio and Internet. How often is classical, jazz or opera music blasted at a party or in a store? Not very often.

Now, there is a chance to catch a glimpse of what this music is like. On Saturday, Oct. 14, a vocal and piano recital by professors Jacalyn Kreitzer and Susan Davies will be held in Alex and Faye Spanos Theater.

Have a date with summer

The end of summer: Possibly the most depressing time of the year for me. The return to class this quarter marks the conclusion of a summer full of great friends, new flings, trips to the lake, campsites, barbecues and a little binge drinking now and again.

Friday the 13th: A spooky night of flicks

What better way to spend the infamous Friday the 13th than watching a variety of classic horror movies?

YouTube overrun with nonsense

Since YouTube now has $1.65 billion and Google making it look that much more important, it’s about time someone rid the Earth of the world’s most disturbing fad; video blogging.

Taking the SLO life into slow motion

“Please, keep in mind that Spaniards have a “go with the flow” mentality, things will get done when they get done. So if you have to wait awhile, for whatever it may be, do not think it is because you are a foreigner. Just take it easy. Relax.”

Wiesel's dark 'Night' an exceptional read

Imagine surviving a night so horrifying that it causes you to lose your very faith in God. Envision yourself arriving by train at Auschwitz concentration camp in 1944, confronted by flames from the crematorium and the potent smell of burning flesh.

San Luis Obispo- After a hearing Monday marked by filibusters and mawkish cries of concern from party-goers that stretched on for twelve 12 1/2 city tax-dollar backed hours, the San Luis Obispo City Council voted unanimously to condemn 9th year architectural engineering student Frank “The Tank” Bossman’s doghouse on the grounds that it was structurally unsound and aesthetically unpleasing.

'The Departed' raises the bar for crime drama

“Heaven holds the faithful departed,” will be the last line going through your mind before “The Departed” departs on one of the most painfully satisfying storylines you will ever experience. ÿ

What is painful satisfaction? Imagine being thrown into the middle of the street by a husky Russian only to be flattened by a magical school bus (the satisfaction being that Samuel L.
