Wayzgoose: Getting Better With Age
ASUCI kicked off its annual Wayzgoose Medieval Faire in Aldrich Park at 10 a.m. on Saturday. In collaboration with Celebrate UCI, Wayzgoose is an opportunity for incoming freshmen to get a taste of the many extracurricular activities the campus has to offer. The park remained packed throughout the day, which couldn’t have been better for a festival as there wasn’t a cloud in the sky.
Sexual Assault Month: Take Back the Lies
Haven’t you heard? April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. This month, UC Irvine’s Campus Assault Resources and Education Program (CARE) is sponsoring events such as The Clothesline Project, Denim Day USA and has invited groups like “Take Back the Night” and “One in Four” to raise awareness through a candlelight vigil. CARE hopes to combat sexual assault on our campus and others. Many UCI students have undoubtedly received the mass e-mail inviting concerned citizens to participate.
Online Exclusive: Vote Yes on the UCI Stimulus Package
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.

Shaeffer Turning Some Heads
Take one look at freshman Ronnie Shaeffer and the only thing sign that he plays baseball might be some form of UC Irvine baseball gear he is wearing. When he tells you he plays baseball, your first guess at his position will most certainly be pitcher. His 6-foot-2-inch, 195 pound frame suggests it.

UCI Equestrian Team Gallops into its First Taste of Action
In its first competitive year the UC Irvine Equestrian Team ranked 10th in Zone 8, Region 2 of the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association. However, more exciting than the team’s placement was the journey getting there.
Dramedies: Sacrificing Humor in the Name of Drama
Shapan: Comedies are being churned out all the time in modern cinema, and why not? Laughter, after all, is the best medicine. Nowadays, it’s tough to find a comedy that doesn’t include at least one of the actors from the popular “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgandy.” Of course, that film had little intellectual purpose, but it was the perfect laugh. Memorable characters, hilarious jokes and a story you didn’t have to worry about keeping up with. Good times, right? Wrong.
Vietnamese Come to the Screen
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).
