...that time of year again. Started in 1964 as a way to fill a winter lull in sports coverage, the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue has become one of the most eagerly anticipated magazine issues of the year.

If we can harness the collective talent of our campus community, we may be able to convert this crisis of ?hange into a catalyst for change...
...these two strangers embrace on a lonely mattress. In the morning, the two lovers glide through the city lip-locked, ordering chicken and blueberry muffins for breakfast. In the last shot, a tow truck carrying the stolen car glides past them in the street. All this culminates under the lull of John Lurie’s syncopated voice.This is the premise of “Keep It For Yourself,” a stunning film by French director Claire Denis. Originally made as an extended commercial for a Japanese car that was never released, the film was shown...
