'Angels & Demons' improvement despite formulaic, ridiculous plot
May 17, 2009The Da Vinci Code is easily one of the worst movies made in the last five years. Everything that could possibly be done well in a movie - writing, acting, directing - was done poorly in The Da Vinci Code. The idea that men that are as smart and talented as Tom Hanks and director Ron Howard would want to make a movie even tangentially related to it is an insult to both of their careers and to cinema. However, the popularity of the film and the Robert Langdon books by Dan Brown made the sequel Angels & Demons inevitable.

Your Turn: Signs needed for bike riders
May 17, 2009While riding my bicycle home from my Italian 113 class in Gordy Hall on a sunny Athens day, I decided to stop in at Campus Sundry for a cold beverage. I was leaning my bike against the cement block outside when a meter officer came running across the street toward me. She was breathing heavily and looked angry, as if someone stole her precious ticket-giving machine. I quickly learned she did not lose her machine after all and began demanding identification from me. She then punched out a $20 violation for riding my bicycle on the sidewalk and pointed to the nearest Bicycles Prohibited sign, if you could even call it that. It only makes sense to me that if Athens Police are ticketing bicyclists, who in a split second cross from private property to public property, then the signs prohibiting where you can and cannot ride bicycles should be kept visible. Who really knows when they go from on-campus to off-campus in this small-town campus? Am I alone in feeling this way?

May 12, 2009It breaks my heart to see current students tearing apart the town that I love. I attended Palmerfest as an undergrad; my husband's band played it during our senior year. We get it. We understand what it means. What happened this past weekend, however, is shameful and contrary to the spirit of the fests.
