For the past few years, many students at UCR have united at the Barn for the “Laugh More” event, a night filled with knee-slapping stand-up and delightful improvisation. Even the very first “Laugh More” in 2013 was a success with students, showcasing widely acclaimed comedians such as Dana Eagle (who has appeared on “The Late Late Show with Craig...

While there is an array of restaurants to choose from in Riverside, Mexican food is always a delicious choice. But, if you want the real deal, I’m talking mouth-watering and you-can’t-stop-staring at the other table’s food, then you need to walk away from Chipotle, Taco Bell and Del Taco.
El Patron is what I would call a hidden gem...
Students packed into Hub 302 to spend an evening with actresses Lea "Big Boo" DeLaria and Jackie "Flaca" Cruz from the critically acclaimed Netflix series, “Orange Is the New Black.” The discussion was moderated by Megan Rush, staff member at UCR’s LGBT Resource Center, and much like show creator Jenji Kohan’s breakout hit, the event elicited narratives of empowerment,...
“Should I give up, or should I just keep chasing pavements?” was a pressing question posed by Adele in 2011 that still rings true today. Relationships can be the most wonderfully poisonous things that we all get to experience in our lives. Love is like a hand of cards — you can be confident with the cards you have,...

Originally known as Frice (and reviewed under Frice on Yelp), the restaurant has adopted a curiously new name: Bashu Impression Szechuan Restaurant.

With “nikkei” directly translating to Japanese living abroad, the Nikkei Student Union aims to unite Japanese students at UCR and teach Japanese culture to its members. Expanding across Southern California universities, NSU is present at multiple UC and CSU campuses, and even private schools. The NSU here at Riverside was created in 2011 by Scott Shima, and within five...
Another great quarter began with ASPB’s “We Love the ‘90s” event. What better way to represent our inner ‘90s wild child than to throw it back on a chilly Thursday evening? Dressed in my denim overalls and choker, I strolled over to Hub 302 at 6 p.m., following the beat of NSYNC’s “Tearin’ Up My Heart.” Just as everything...
On Thursday, the Pakistani Student Association, in conjunction with the Middle Eastern Student Center (MESC), the South Asian Federation (SAF) and a number of other organizations, hosted UCR’s first South Asian Exhibition. This event was organized to highlight the diversity of South Asian culture and featured a talk by famous YouTubers Qais Mohammed and The Mahmood Brothers. Overall, the...
El Fogon has the best tacos around UC Riversde. This may seem like a bold statement, however, this isn’t a simple restaurant review. To come to this conclusion, we chose four Mexican restaurants near UCR and held a blind taste-test with eight UCR students. Two members of ASUCR (Ashley Harano and Nick Carillo), two members of ASPB (Ayanna Ziegler and...
