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.

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...
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.

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. Along with the upgrade comes a change of interior, menu and style as well, adding flair to the lonely-looking restaurant located at the far corner of the University Village where Chase and an optometrist are located.
