‘Who’ Continues Emotional Season
The Doctor is back with a new TARDIS, new companion and a new attitude. Series seven of the lasting sci-fi classic “Doctor Who” aired on BBC back in September, but in true “Who” fashion, eager fans had to deal with a break between part one and two of the season. Part one of the series [...]
ASUCI Elections: We Are The 30 Percent
Why is it that the same UCI pride that one sees when it comes to clubs and events is not present during elections week? It is disappointing to see that only about 30 percent of UCI undergraduates take part in the ASUCI elections — not even half! After hearing students around campus and looking at [...]
’Eaters Can Lead With Empathy
There’s a certain feeling, like a stone in the pit of our stomachs, when we turn on the television and see an attack on our country. Even thinking about that morning of 9/11, experiencing it years before we even comprehended the true meaning of what ensued, we feel that sinking feeling. When our country comes [...]
‘Elliot’ Sure to Inspire Audiences
When it comes to new musical theater, it is important to note the difficulties of creating original masterpieces on a frequent basis. Most new musicals are, in essence, forgettable due to their unoriginal plot lines (usually based on popular movies or music icons), their blasé songs, and overall unimpressive performances. However, some musicals are able [...]
Finishing on Top

Cruisin’ to ‘Oblivion’
A paper-thin, unoriginal story that is emotionally hollow yet somewhat protected by impressive production values, particularly a splendid score composed by an established, appreciated band. Such words aptly summarize 2010’s eye candy extravaganza, “Tron: Legacy,” which was director Joseph Kosinski’s first feature film. How ironic is it, then, that those very words apply to his [...]
Lighting Up The Night
Held annually, the 2013 Take Back the Night called for social awareness on the subject of rape and sexual abuse plaguing society. Students, faculty and guests gathered at the steps leading up to the campus flagpoles on Wednesday evening to commemorate the annual Take the Night event hosted by UCI’s Campus Assault Resources and Education (CARE). [...]
Initiative Struck Down in Legislative Council
Efforts to push for Greek representation in SPFB meets failure, but interested parties remain persistent. The ASUCI Legislative Council struck down a legislation that would have given a permanent seat to UCI’s Greek Community on ASUCI’s Student Program Funding Board (SPFB) at their meeting on Thursday, April 18. The legislation was voted down with a [...]
Creating Culture Night
Everything seems smaller the third time around. The stage, the audience, the hell night practices — they all seem a bit more routine now that I’ve been with Korean Culture Night for the third year. But of course, I do not pretend to be a spectacular performer of any sort. The spotlight is still one [...]
The Dish List: Market Café
’Eaters, we don’t get bored Yelping. In Irvine, we’re lucky to have a number of new restaurants open every month; restaurant hunting is probably a common interest among many of us. As a student, I’m constantly looking for a good café to offer me a fresh cup of coffee or tea, my best companion to [...]
