Meet the coats!

Natalie Cai, Columnist February 16, 2024

The handle of the brown paper bag pinches into my skin as I hike up the hill from downtown back to campus. Inside the bag is one of the additions to my growing collection of coats. Inspired by style icons...

“Love is what you make of it”: A review of “Love Jones” (1997)

Collin Preves, Contributing Writer February 9, 2024

“Love Jones” (dir. Theodore Witcher) is a rom-com that doesn’t feel like a rom-com. There are moments of raucous laughter, but unlike most in its genre, it never pushes for the joke. In one scene,...

Too many CS majors: A symptom of a bigger problem

Malcolm Parnell, Beat Writer February 9, 2024

The bachelor’s degree has come under more scrutiny in recent years. A four-year institution is not a guarantee of a career like it was in the past. If a graduate’s job search goes poorly, people say...

Architecture of chaos and cake: Zaha Hadid’s MAXXI

Drew Rodriguez-Michel, Contributing Writer February 9, 2024

Two days ago I went to the National Museum of 21st-Century (XXI) Arts (MAXXI.) It’s Rome’s only museum of contemporary art, and if you’re not an architecture buff, it's a pretty wacky looking building....

Overloading: My whirlwind of a experience

Raghav Potdar, Contributing Writer February 9, 2024

I’ve gotten the general idea that people view “overloading” negatively. I, however, saw it as an opportunity: I really wanted to take a Digital Editing class along with three other classes. Little...

Hollywood your sexism is showing: The treatment of Barbie in awards season

Ella Parke, Staff Writer February 2, 2024

2023 was one of the strongest years for film and television that Hollywood has seen in a while. With monumental films like “Killers of the Flower Moon,” “Oppenheimer,” “Barbie,” and “Poor...

Old art is…well…dead

Drew Rodriguez-Michel, Contributing Writer January 26, 2024

I’m in Italy. In Rome, to be specific. I’m on Carleton’s Art and Architectural studies in Europe program that covers, well, just that. And I’m here to give you a taste, see what I see, sip what...

Can advisors advise?

Natalie Cai, Columnist January 26, 2024

If you’re wondering what first-year would be enough of an idiot to sign up for a 300-level class, then congratulations, you’ve found that idiot. What did my advisor do? Absolutely nothing. Granted,...

Warmth amidst the cold: A review of “The Holdovers” (2023)

Collin Preves, Contributing Writer January 26, 2024
