Congress is giving student aid a facelift this fall – or at least voting on it. On Sept.17,the House passed the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act with a majority vote.The act has yet to make it through the Senate. The Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act would change the process by which money for loans and grants is directed within higher education.Essentially,the behind-the-scenes logistics of student aidwould change.

Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who’s the greenest of them all? Soon the answer could be UC Davis if the campus maintains the high rankings that have helped it receive accolades from environmental groups. UC Davis was recently ranked among the top 10 campuses nationally by Greenopia, an organization that rates universities based on a seven-part sustainability criteria including sustainable architecture, recycling and composting. The College Sustainability Report Card scored the campus with a B as a “campus sustainability leader,” and Sierra Magazine scored it with an A-, rated 24th out of 135 colleges in its Cool Schools survey.

On average there are five student-run dance and theater productions held in Wright Hall each year,but the upcoming “Always/All Ways North” is one of the few to offer live nudity. “The nudity differs slightly with each performance,” said Jenna Templeton,recent UC Davis alum and stage manager for “Always/All Ways North.“ “Always/All Ways North” is a piece of performance art that combines dance,theater,cinematography,live music and yes,nudity,to comment on themes such as location,identity and pilgrimage.All shows run at8p.m.on Oct.2,3and9in Wright Hall Main Theater.Each show lasts for40minutes.

It’s easy to say that electronic music is falling downhill with seemingly no return.Such a statement is neither unreasonable nor shortsighted,and backing it up wouldn’t be hard,either – JUSTICE,autotune and Timbaland come to mind. But it’s also a bit of a paradox that at the same time,writing and composing music is easier today than ever; anyone can download a music program and piece together coherent tunes.Media outlets talk about it all the time:the ease of music creation today is astounding,technology continues to transform the music world,we’re getting old,blah blah blah.

It’s a story far too often told in the music industry:a band refuses to mature their sound and grow as artists,and because of it,they wind up scheduling their own downfall.Portugal.The Man on the other hand,a four-piece band hailing half from Portland,Oregon and half from rural Alaska,knows all about musical evolution and experimentation.
