Spring Break
What happens when Frontline, Invisible Children, the USD Surf Team and Associated Students decide to put on an event? The 2009 Freedom Riders Concert, a benefit happening tomorrow at the Wave House in Mission Beach. The event will be free to USD students and the general public.
Author and apologist, G.K. Chesterton, once said, "I believe in getting into hot water; it keeps you clean." In that great tradition of Chesterton and other rabble-rousers, I am going to jump into that very same pot of water. I want to talk about USD, its administration and our supposedly "Catholic" character.
A week before the start of my final year of college, a few of?my friends reunited to catch some of the last rays of summer. It had been?almost a year since we had seen each other, a time gap dictated by our diverse?journeys with study abroad programs. I ran?reels of memory tape of my past semester in Florence while realizing I was once again on the sands of?Pacific Beach.
The summer season provides a multitude of summer blockbusters to choose from. With "Star Trek" and "Transformers 2" taking up most commercial time, many TV viewers have yet to be exposed to the other film that has people talking, "(500) Days of Summer." "If you're looking for something a little less timpani drums and blood, and more Joy Division and kissing, this is it," Joseph Gordon-Levitt, one of the stars of the film, said.
I will always be a Torero. I just want to make that clear, because I plan on making a yearly pilgrimage to the Jenny Craig Pavilion to watch the Toreros take on Gonzaga. I challenge anyone graduating this semester to do the same. Although the students at this school are the heart and soul of the team, it is important as an alumnus that you continue to support our athletic program.
