UC Irvine’s Fantastic Four
TRACK: The men’s relay team made several sacrifices in order to reach the West Regionals in Oregon.
Fantasy Football: All it Takes is Generosity and a UCI Football Fund
Fall quarter will be in session in the midst of the college football season. Instead of beating a dead horse and asking why we don’t have a football team, I figured I could show HOW to make one in unrealistic fashion.
School’s Out For Summers
SPORTS: Junior Matt Summers pitched the fourth no-hitter in UCI history and first since 2006.
Pokémon Jon Catches Them All
At first, fourth-year Jon Sahagian didn’t even like Pokémon. Everyone was trying to “catch ’em all,” precisely why he didn’t want to get involved in the fad. It was only afterward when he began to watch the TV show and play the games a bit when he had a change of heart. While others halted their quest, Sahagian took Pokémon fandom to a whole new level.
NEVER SAY NEVER <3 You Beebz
I purposely neglected to write this column because I honestly hate goodbyes. I’m not going to lie: I was really awkward during my freshman year and didn’t really enjoy dorm life or the food at Pippin that caused indigestion (I’d often see flies in my soup and birds eating someone’s scrambled eggs — no joke).
To SPOP Or Not To SPOP?
Congratulations, incoming Anteaters, and welcome to UC Irvine! As you can probably anticipate, the best way to begin your love affair with UCI is at SPOP, the “mandatory” Student/Parent Orientation Program. But we hope that you’ll realize that it’s okay to not like SPOP; in fact, it’s okay to hate it because, when you really think about it, SPOP has very little to do with what UCI is about.
To UCI, With Love
From beginning as a Layout intern to becoming Managing Editor, I’ve seen UCI through the eyes of the New University for three years of highs and lows. Though it hasn’t always been a stroll through the park, I’ve loved my time at the New U because it’s given me the opportunity to meet people all over campus, to talk with administrators and student leaders and to learn about everything from budgets to athletics.
I’m Not Quoting A Disney Song!
Standing on the bridge leading away from the not-yet-opened Student Center, I snapped a picture on my phone of HIB and Humanities Hall. I was an incoming freshman, preparing to leave mini-SPOP, and I remember thinking to myself, “Well, this is my home for the next four years.”
