By Hoai-Tran Bui · Monday, April 11, 2011

Dance is generally stereotyped as a cold, feminine and old-fashioned art form. However, in the classrooms of the Katzen Arts Center, the AU Department of Performing Arts is blooming with youth, energy and talent, all showcased in last weekend’s Spring Dance Concert, “VHF: Very High Frequency.”

By Haely Jardas | April 11

Surfer Bethany Hamilton became a media sensation at the age of 13 for the shark attack that took her entire left arm in 2003, her talent on the water and her strong faith in God.

AU needs SexualAssaultEdu with or without federal grant

By Emi Ruff-Wilkinson | April 11

When an opportunity comes up for an additional $300,000 to help the victims of sexual assault and prevent further ones from happening, you’d think that AU would be all over it. In addition to the programs we already have, getting that extra funding would be a big step toward reducing rape on campus. Nothing too controversial there, right?

Movie Review: Happy Thank You More Please

By Antoaneta Tileva | April 11

The title of “Happythankyoumoreplease” is quite apropos — you will leave the theater grateful and wanting more of its offbeat charm. If you are already groaning at the prospect of yet another contrived indie rom-com à la “500 Days Of Summer” or the movie version of “Friends” or the millennials’ answer to “Singles,” you will find yourself pleasantly surprised.

CONCERT REVIEWS: Swedish indie rockers Peter Bjorn & John to take buoyant, indie jams to 9:30 club

By Maeve McDermott | April 11

It’s tempting to think of the Swedish indie rockers Peter Bjorn & John as newer players in the indie rock scene. But in reality, the band — which takes its name from the first names of the three bandmates — are responsible for six studio albums over the course of nearly a decade, with their first self-titled album released back in 2002 on a small Swedish label.

Letter to the Editor: BOE regulations inhibit free speech and open elections

April 11

On March 21, the South Asia Student Association (SASA) issued an apology to candidate for SG Secretary Eric Reath. Earlier that week, SASA had made formal endorsements to candidates running for SG that the club had decided would serve the best interests of SASA. There was a complaint filed that SASA did not follow the proper course of action to endorse SG candidates, and the Board of Elections decided to revoke SASA’s ability to be a part of this year’s elections.

Look of the Week: Spring Flings

By Nicole Moutis | April 11

Finally some warm weather has (somewhat) come around, and with it comes shorter hems, brighter colors and other exciting new spring trends. These two students at AU caught my eye while walking down the Main Quad with their stylish ensembles. They make it apparent that some winter trends are here to stay while they both show off their combat boots. Here we get a taste of everything, from tights with shorts and boots, to white skirts with tucked in denim, to turban head ties. The transition from winter and spring can cause some chaos in our closets, but both these students show us how to do it right.

Film review: 'Hanna'

April 11

“Hanna” opens with a shot of a snowy landscape — cold, distant and elegant, much like the movie itself. A stylized kiddy version of “The Bourne Identity,” “Hanna” does an excellent job of showcasing balletic fight scenes and starkly contrasting cinematography, but fails to draw the audience’s sympathy to the protagonist’s struggles.

Film review: 'Your Highness'

By Madeline Wolfson | April 11

Taking a movie like the “Lord of the Rings,” inserting a plethora of raunchy sex jokes, f-bombs and snippets of soft-core porn and then smoking a bowl may sound like a hilarious way to kill an afternoon. Yet “Your Highness” takes this premise and somehow manages to turn it into a barely funny film that even its talented cast can’t redeem.
