"This is my generation. This is my sex appeal," a throaty voice sings while images of a model in a snug tan sweater and a tiny skirt fastened from top to bottom with silver buttons flash across my laptop's screen. It's clear within the first few minutes of this video that this isn't promoting your usual clothing brand. This is BCBGeneration, a brand-new line that's the hipper, younger sister to Max Azria's well-known BCBGMAXAZRIA label. BCBG, an acronym for the French slang saying, "bon chic, bon genre," ("good style, good attitude" in English), was founded in 1989 by Max Azria and is currently based in Vernon, CA.
Flying through the air is normally associated with a few things, including superheroes and anything with wings. Well, add one more to that list: red-shirt freshman volleyballer Carson Clark. You might as well call him Carson Clark "Kent" because when the offensive machine's jersey comes on and the scoreboard lights up, he has the tendency to get his flight on.
After riding on a five-game winning streak and its last win against 16th-ranked California State University Long Beach just two days before, the ninth-ranked UC Irvine women's water polo team fell 7-5 to 13th-ranked California State University Northridge at the Anteater Aquatics Complex on Saturday. With the loss, UCI failed to grab sole poession of the regular season conference title, but will share that distinction with UC Davis and CSUN. The Anteaters now drop to a record of 4-1 (20-9 overall) in the Big West Conference.
How do you feel about the campus life at UC Irvine? If you are like most Anteaters, you will say that we need more school spirit and more major activities like big concerts, impressive speakers and fairs on Ring Mall. ASUCI heard you, we agree with you and we want to make a change. We propose the UCI Stimulus Package Referendum to make UCI, well, fun. This fee of $25 per quarter would provide additional funding to ASUCI, cultural events, club support, volunteer events, civic engagement activities, Greek life and student media. All of this money would go to student activities and services and provide a shot of adrenaline to campus life at UCI. Essentially, for the cost of dinner and a movie you can fill your social calendar with things to do.
In this month's issue of Pediatrics, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, a government-appointed medical panel that sets guidelines on a number of health issues, advised doctors to regularly screen teens for depression. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force's recommendation for doctors to make screenings more consistent, therefore, is an acknowledgement that depression has evolved into a nationwide and pressing concern.
A woman comes up to a group of men and asks a simple question: "So do you guys like jokes?" Not realizing where she is about to take them, they say yes. Innocently, she asks them, "What do you call the extra skin around a vagina?" She responds, "A woman!" The smiling faces are quickly transformed into awkward grimaces and blank stares. This video installation by Elizabeth Watkins is just one of the works of art in the "Provocations" exhibit, the annual undergraduate art exhibition juried by Sarah C. Bancroft, curator of the Orange County Museum of Art.
On the surface, an amateur rugby player, an aspiring college student and a hitman may not have a lot in common. One could blow a game play, one may blow his chance to get into college and the last might just blow your head off. Yet these different roles represent the diverse spectrum of protagonists whose stories were told at the fourth edition of the Vietnamese International Film Festival (ViFF).
"Paul Blart: Mall Cop" this is definitely not. Any similarity you see when comparing two films with pasty white men stuffed into rent-a-cop uniforms will be immediately knocked out of your head the first time the streaker pops out his penis on screen.
