Do you think "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” should be banned from schools?

By Tiffany Yee | April 5, 2005, midnight | In Print »

"Over the summer I read this novel and I must say, it is one of the few books with lots of writing that I actually wanted to finish. Lots of controversy surrounds this novel due to the excessive use of the N-word. If a single book is going to be condemned because of a bad word, they may as well remove all books from the curriculum. The truth is, these books are historically accurate in the environment setup, and in order to show our history we must show the truth, and the truth is ugly." -freshman Daniel Quang

Stay out of "The Office"

By Alex Mazerov | April 4, 2005, midnight | In Print »

With all the trite American-made sitcoms currently broadcast over the airways (think "According to Jim" and "Yes, Dear"), the major networks are being forced to look overseas for some new ideas and creative inspiration. In 2003, NBC tried out an Americanized version of the BBC hit "Coupling"; it failed miserably and was canceled after just a few episodes. This year, NBC tried it again with yet another British comedy, "The Office." The resulting clone isn't the disaster that "Coupling" was, but the show does fail to strike any real comedic chord.

"Sin City": Gory glory

By Nick Falgout | April 4, 2005, midnight | In Print »

Remember the leather-clad, failed-a-grade kid who put his feet up on the desk in detention and cut his nails with a rusty pocketknife? Or the kid who leaned against his Mercedes, beautiful cheerleader girlfriend on one arm and expensive imported beer dangling from the other? "Sin City" is the guy who beat those kids up, took their lunch money, then held them at arm's length while the former parties flailed about helplessly.
