A jet-fueled bulldozer is set to demolish Watkins Hall next week, as students will be forced to evacuate the last-standing building for the Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences Liberal Education (HASSLE) department. Funded by a $54 million grant from private donors, the university will construct another structure on behalf of the College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences (CNAS) for...
Students camp outside of Student Services Building
Thousands of students have set up tents around the Student Services Building in hopes of gaining further financial assistance for paying off their high tuition fees. With lines wrapping around the Highlander Union Building (HUB), many students have embraced the week-long delays, despite facing heat exhaustion and encroaching line-cutters.
“These costs are truly outrageous...

The construction of the track has caused a mysterious vortex to develop, sending runners back in time 5 to 7 minutes when they reach 357.22m from the starting line.

UC Riverside Dining Services remain in disarray as the future of two key investments--the Culinary Chameleon Food Truck and Jalapeño’s Restaurant (under construction)—have become jeopardized. In an apparent backfiring of its namesake, the Culinary Chameleon’s camouflage system has stumped any attempts to locate the $250,000 truck. Meanwhile, students have begun to protest against the HUB’s opening of Jalapeño’s Restaurant,...

With over 16 novelizations, two established religions, weekly White House showings, an ongoing Broadway play and...
There are three very basic things I expect from my shows: straightforward explanations, uncluttered presentations and necessary information. I neither want nor need “plot” and “setting,” which are archaic leftovers from a bygone era. These are generally understood facts, right? Will someone leave a memo for director Quentin Tarantino IV?
Tarantino’s fourth clone recently released “CaffAttack,” which promised an in-depth...
The Sun is not my friend.
