Behind the seams: The class that stitches the fashion and theater departments together

Most of the time, after the performances, the cast and tech crew are showered with praise by the audience; however, one group is overlooked and underfunded: the costume crafts class. Despite the budget cuts, the curriculum allows both the professor and the students to think outside the box and avoid limiting their creativity. The class is taught by Professor Angela Eads, a self-proclaimed Renaissance lady who has …

My Territory: Legacy Comics is where everyone feels like superheroes

Bored in 20 minutes: The Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special
Share: The Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special is here with disappointment, bringing up family drama, failed child actors, with irritating influencers as its hosts.

The farmworkers movement was always bigger than him
Share: When the news broke about Cesar Chavez, I felt angry, sad, and betrayed. A Mexican “hero”, was just another scummy fallen idol. I began learning in middle school about Mexican American history in the United States, and the National Farm Workers Association movement led by Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta.

Growing up as a Mexican American in predominantly working-class Latin American neighborhoods, the importance of …
