The Riverside Surging Dragons (RSD) have made a recent surge of appearance on UCR’s campus as they took home a second-place award for the 2015 College Cup C Division, an annual competition in which groups are divided into divisions based on preliminary races. Founded in 2010, they are an on-campus organization that participates in competitive dragon boat racing to...
Aside from cheating, what's the number one issue that has led to breakups since the dawn of time? Here's a hint. It's the "green-eyed monster," also known as jealously. Jealousy can be shown in many ways, but the important thing to note is how it's being received by your partner. It's also good to know that it's okay to...
You can take the coffee out of the shop …
But that doesn’t necessarily mean you should. Our original intention was to have another taste test, sampling the best brews that our local coffee shops have to offer, ignoring corporate giants like Starbucks. We bought some cold brew, lined up some shot glasses and prepared to get tasting, sampling the...
“Yup, it’s been nine years with Cody, recently as of February,” beamed Vicky Nguyen. As a co-worker and friend of both Cody and Vicky Nguyen, seeing their impressive long-term relationship flourish gives me hope (and chills, in a good way), and I can easily say that I don’t know of any other couple that has sustained a longer relationship...

Right next to Lollicup, Submarine Crab is the newest addition to the busy student-filled area of University Village. Submarine Crab sounds an awful lot like Boiling Crab, and looking at the menu, the similarities were uncanny. However, it’s not a bad thing — who doesn’t want good seafood closer to home?

It’s hard to not associate a talent show with the youthful essence of middle or elementary school naivete— a time when cafeterias full of eager parents filled the room with obnoxious video cameras and patronizing applause where, more often than not — the only real “talent” on stage was the ability for each performer to overcome stage fright.
Last Thursday,...
Around 200 people attended Chicano Student Programs’ (CSP) 22nd Annual Noche Cultural, featuring four unique Latinx-inspired performances in the University Theatre. This event was held on Saturday, Feb. 6 and was co-sponsored by Radio Aztlan 88.3 FM, UCR Cultural Events, the Associated Students Program Board and UC MEXUS.
The first event, Ballet of Las Americas, was organized by the Tierra...
It should feel disconcerting to enter a dimly lit room with four projection screens illuminating the figures of the crowd. (For me, something Orwellian comes to mind.) Last Thursday night, there was nothing else in HUB 302 North but rows of chairs and students mingling with each other and, every now and then, sparing a glance at the imposing...

I knew I’d arrived at Riverside’s annual Lunar New Year Festival due to one iconic sight — the huge, red lanterns swaying from palm tree to palm tree. (Indeed, only something you can see in California.) Above the grounds of the festivities, the paper lanterns floated over the heads of attendees, who situated themselves on the street’s curb or...
