I have lived many years, but I try not to waste my time looking back. Normally, I am not a retrospective person. However, in the spring of 1969, I made what I thought at the time was a minor course choice. I now consider that decision to be somewhere between troubling and stupid. I was a junior in college and wanted to take a political science elective. The times were politically charged. I felt that I needed to know more. My intentions were good.
What makes a great movie? Casting, a good story, and cinematography are all important. However, one characteristic that turns a good movie into a phenomenal one is the soundtrack. Music enhances emotions in a way that makes you feel exactly what the character feels. Immediately, you become one with the movie. As summer draws closer, it’s a great time to talk about two of my favorite summer movies and how their soundtracks are perfectly crafted.
Karly Hartzman, the lead singer of the alt-country indie rock band Wednesday, screamed her final lines to a sold-out Broadberry crowd on a Monday night with a surprising ferocity more in line with heavy metal than Lynyrd Skynyrd. However, her band may very well be the future of country rock.

“All Stories are Love Stories” by Elizabeth Percer is a beautifully woven story tied neatly with a bow. The novel takes place in San Francisco on, you guessed it, Valentine’s Day, after two devastating earthquakes ripped the city apart. The stories of four different people take the reader on a journey of regrets, high-stakes emotions and devastation.
Editor’s Note: When referencing people’s names, the writer kept the original Japanese name order where applicable. (e.g., Kore-eda Hirokazu instead of Hirokazu Kore-eda).
My first encounter with “book banning” happened when I was still a high school student. At the time, Young Adult fiction books surged in popularity among people my age.
Michaelangelo Antonioni’s “Red Desert” (1964, released in Italian as “Deserto Rosso”) opens with the image of a factory obscured. Obscured by the opening credits, the camera’s unfocused lens, but especially by the trails of smoke it ceaselessly spits out (oozing from every orifice it can find room for). Second to the image is the sound: an ethereal and floating voice that hangs over the world with the wit of a butterfly stopping to roost.

I deeply love UR. This love for the university and the subsequent community is why I am compelled to offer a more formal response to The Collegian 's call for responses to the U.S. Supreme Court's decision regarding the consideration of race in admission. More specifically, I am writing to refute many baseless claims that were publicized by The Collegian 's Instagram post.

I’ll miss my show and wandering through the CD collection in the station. After 77 shows of Second Hand News, I want to leave you with a playlist of songs to listen to this summer.
