Hawkins for the win

Men's BasketballJanuary 14, 2013
As the first half of Thursday’s game against Cal Poly drew to a close, most Aggie fans got up and left. The first 20 minutes of play certainly justified their decision to leave. UC Davis’ offense stalled and the team fell behind by 18 points early in the game. However, a quick timeout and a […]

What the hell is that? Oh! Are those the freaky white igloos between the Activities and Recreation Center (ARC) and […]

Best show: “Firefly”

OpinionJanuary 14, 2013
So there has been no point in all of the time I’ve spent working on my film studies major that I have not seriously grappled with the question of whether or not Joss Whedon’s sci-fi TV show, “Firefly,” is the greatest thing to have ever occurred in front of a camera. The very first tattoo […]

Beauty and the beast: New Years resolutions

UncategorizedJanuary 11, 2013
It’s 2013! One of the first things most people do to prepare for the New Year is create a list of resolutions to make this year even better than the last one. While some people believe that it’s pretentious and useless, I believe otherwise. I think that even if you fail them by the second […]
