The front door to Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlor next to Castle Park in Riverside is a time machine that can transport any customer back to 1905. One step in and I was hit with a breeze of sugary sweetness. Resting upon the chestnut wall was an American flag ribbon encircling the entire restaurant, leading gazes all the way to...
Life was a party on Friday night, March 1. In between Interdisciplinary Building South and the softball field, a huge piñata of a tiger was set to burn at the stack of wood underneath it. Hosted by ASPB, the Homecoming Bonfire succeeded in getting UCR and the community ready and pumped up for Homecoming, the weekend that ignites UCR’s...
It’s homecoming week, a couple of hours before Heat is to begin. Finally, the majority of students are staying in Riverside for the weekend. The men’s basketball game is filled with fans shouting on their feet after the Highlanders just made a three-pointer from beyond half-court with a second left in the half. The team leaves and fourth-year biology...
Students huddled into HUB 302 on Feb. 19 for what was not your average academic event. There was a particular question on everyone's minds that they hoped the program would answer: how can I have the best sex ever? Before anyone could even behold the secrets of premier sexual abilities, a long row of tables holding a plethora of...
As a loud, vibrating bass pumped from the gym on the evening of Feb. 23, students united to dance for UCR's second annual Dance Marathon fundraiser. The theme of the night was Gandhi's quote, "Be the change you wish to see in the world."
Upon entering the Student Recreation Center’s huge basketball court, students were welcomed by balloons scattered on...
Vibrant, energetic and poetic are the words that spring to mind at Susan Ossman’s On The Line painting exhibition. On first entering, dozens of oil on canvas pieces brighten the walls of La Sierra University’s Brandstater Gallery with fair blues, lustrous yellows and blooming pinks. Each painting is distinct yet tied to a common theme of clotheslines.
Yes, this is...
When you look in the mirror, what do you see? Do you think that there is something wrong with the way you look? Do you think other people will judge you because of the color of your skin or the clothes that you wear? Do you feel comfortable with your own image, or do you struggle with it? If...
A great university tradition is one of the strongest qualities a school can have. For example, Virginia Tech has the annual Civilians vs. Cadets Snowball Fight. A fire alarm is pulled, sending civilian students and military officers-in-training out into the quad during the first snowfall of the academic year so that they can duke it out. Universities with high-ranking...

Before stepping into Canyon Crust, a new restaurant in the Canyon Crest Town Center, I was greeted by a small outdoor seating area. Inside, the small dining area glows orange with dimly lit overhanging lights. Alternative music can be heard above the soft chatter of the customers.
After quickly skimming the menu, I noticed that pizza...
When I first heard about Microsoft’s newest Surface tablets, I remember thinking “Good idea, but just a little too late.” The Surface RT, which Microsoft released last October, is a straight competitor with the iPad and the plethora of Android tablets on the market. The hardware on the RT is fantastic, but its major shortcoming is that it isn’t...
