‘Modern day tragedy’ with a low budget

Video students enrolled in the advanced video production "Producing and Directing" spring course have emerged themselves in the making of a feature presentation about violence, guns, drugs, blood and guts. The film, yet to have an official title, was spun up by the imagination of junior English and communication major Jonathan Barnett.

MtvU invades Penn’s Landing

MtvU is hosting its first ever Campus Invasion Music Festival, which includes 6-hour concerts in some of the largest college cities in America. One of them is in Philadelphia's Penn's Landing on Sunday, April 29 at 3:30 p.m. The Campus Invasion Music Festival is an extension of mtvU's Campus Invasion Tour which has brought up-and-coming artists to college students for the past 10 years.

‘Children of Men’ proves to be a well-made dissapointment

Now on DVD, "Children of Men" is a movie best viewed on DVD rather than in the theater because of the needless unanswered questions and a somewhat disappointing ending. The film is one of great detail and work, but the plot leaves many hanging on for more.

Racism, discrimination still prevalent

Racism still corrupts our nation to this day. It was over 140 years ago when the Civil War ended slavery and we thought that our nation was going to be somewhat moral and balanced with the acceptance of a different race. What comes as a slap in the face is the realization that we were wrong.

Enjoy the ’50 Nights’ while they last

I just received an e-mail from a classmate inviting me to "50 Nights!!!" For those who are familiar with "50 Nights," you know that it is just another reason for college students to go out to the local pub, drink lots, and get - for lack of a better word - trashed.

Ecuador trip raises social awareness

Escaping from the chilly blasts of the winter and going to somewhere tropical is usually what college students are hoping for during their early spring break. Eight students got the chance to do just that, but spent more of their time in Ecuador learning about social justice rather than basking in the sunlight.

Movie Review: ‘Zodiac’

"Zodiac" has proven to be one of the best criminal thrillers to be released in a long time, and it's no surprise since it came from the genius of detail director David Fincher. The man behind such thrillers as "Panic Room" and "Se7en." With a new spin on fright, the film focuses on the obsessions of unsolved mysteries rather than on gruesome realities of the bloody crime.

Debate over the cost of war intensifies

The hotly debated topic of the cost of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars was focused recently on how much it will cost to treat veterans wounded in service over their lifetimes. A Harvard research study calculated the future cost to be between $300 billion and $600 billion, depending on how long these wars last.

Smith’s death still remains a mystery

The former Playmate, Guess model and reality star known as Anna Nicole Smith, 39, mysteriously died on Feb. 8. Smith was notorious for being famous for well, being famous. Many didn't know Smith by her real name Vickie Lynn Hogan, but instead knew her as the outrageous personality with the goofy child-like voice.

Friends disagree on significant others

I know that many of you dislike the person that your best friend is dating. And you find yourself faced with the dilemma of whether you should let them know or not. Well, if you are thinking that it may change their mind you should think again. Should you really have to pretend that you enjoy their company when in reality you cannot stand the sight of that person? You only hang out with them because it's the only way to see your friend.
