Post Modern: Post Picks, Top Five
Oct. 15, 2008Breakin' 2 Electric Boogaloo (dir. Sam Firstenberg)Dance movies like Step Up and Center Stage have always been my guilty pleasures, but this break dancing movie took it to a whole new level. The movie tells the story of a group of breakdancers determined to save the local community center from the city's bulldozers. Not only is the plot cheesy with simple dialogue, the soundtrack and costumes are straight out of 1984. Check it out before you go out and maybe you'll learn some new moves.' Anna Sudar

Your Turn: Writer injures 'Post' with gun, knife features
Oct. 15, 2008Ryan Dunn has a habit of writing distasteful feature pieces for The Post. Yesterday, I'm sorry to say, I was not surprised to see his story about shooting guns in Lancaster once again pollute the front page of our college newspaper. The newspaper, which should be a beacon of free speech and truth, has once again stooped to a new low. I voiced disdain last spring when Dunn was allowed to do a feature about knife fighting. So how can he out do himself now? Ah yes! Guns! Big guns! AK-47s! The issue of the Crawford RA being allowed to use University money for this type of activity aside, aren't students in college to expand their minds so as not to resort to violence or play with guns? But wait ' students skipped classes to take part in this outing!
