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.

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.
As of late, naval ships armed with the advanced Aegis Combat System from the United States, Japan and South Korea are on high alert along the shores of the Korean peninsula as a result of the looming threat of a North Korean "satellite" launch, which violates United Nations Resolution 1718, and is expected to take place between April 4 and 8.
On a typical Saturday morning at 9 a.m., UC Irvine's Student Center would be silent and empty, with the exception of a few over-achieving students trying to get ahead at the beginning of a new quarter. Normally, the sun's rays would be reflecting off the tables in the bare studying areas and the windows of the large meeting rooms.
Normally, I don't like Kristin Stewart. I know that she's the lead in "Twilight" and thus the prepubescent's modern-day Juliet, but there's just something about Stewart that irks me. Maybe it's that her characters are unconvincing or maybe it's just that her PR person isn't so great. But regardless of all that, what I had against Stewart melted away with "Adventureland."
The greatest moment in sports history for me was on Oct. 2, 2004. Dodger stadium was at capacity and I sat within ear-shot of Barry Bonds down the left field line.
Junior Alisha Misiaita outdid herself, literally, at the California/Nevada Championships at UCLA last Sunday. She tossed a school record, 51-9, beating her previous record of 50-8.
