From the highly acclaimed novel by Stephen Chbosky, comes a movie that celebrates the highs and lows of an underdog named Charlie. In this movie, the director reveres the joys and experiences of finding friends you wish you had met much earlier in your lives.

Looking for some good sushi, but don’t want to pay the high prices for your favorite roll? This is a problem we continually face as college students; our lack of jobs can pose a problem when we want to be adventurous in our dining activities. Pizza and burgers are great, but sometimes you have a hankering for something different to satisfy your taste buds. The solution I pose for you today is homemade sushi. Homemade sushi is much easier than you would believe and can be turned into a dinnertime...

The Art department hosted a three-hour open figure drawing class in Kittredge Hall on Wednesday, Oct. 24. The class featured Odie De Blume as the model.

About six minutes into the class, another man came in,...

The current show is a tribute to the past and a plea for the future of UT to also involve...

This Week: The Blues with Lillian Thursday at 8 a.m. Lillian still uses CDs as opposed to scratch records or ScratchLive, a computer program. That is the only real negative element to be said about “The Blues.” She simply has not received the memo that electronically playing your songs over the airwaves, or at least spinning records, boosts up your cool factor.
