Oluponya Records

Since its inception about six years ago, Oluponya Records has sought to support future stars. As the first and only student-run recording label at the University, Oluponya Records (pronounced All-Up-On-Ya) is dedicated to recording and promoting talented students and student groups. "Our mission is to expand genres and serve as a premier organization for students at a great price and in a good location," said third-year Commerce student Alex Boyajian, president of the organization.

Saving Grace

Grace Akallo's current life is not out of the norm. She went to college. She got married. She had her first child.

Spring fashion special

The buzzword this season is color. Bright primary colors on nails and toes, neon clothing and even jewel tones for eyeliner.

Crazy for crêpes

A honey for all seasons

"The only reason for being a bee that I know of is making honey ... and the only reason for making honey is so I can eat it," Winnie the Pooh declares in "The House at Pooh Corner." What dear Winnie doesn't realize, however, is that not only do real bears not actively eat honey (they eat bee larvae inside the hive instead), but the bees themselves have another quite crucial purpose in life -- flower pollination!

Flight 666 is ready to board

Dante, in his bestselling "Inferno" (No. 1 for 700 years), speaks of the seven levels of Hell, with level one being pre-school, levels two through six being DMV lines of different lengths and level seven being airports.

The old tying-the-knot trick

As I've been meandering back and forth to class lately, I've been thinking a lot about what all this high-brow learning stuff is gearing me up for, and I'm sure that this applies to just about everyone.

A bonzer idea

This month's fashion magazines have been flaunting the latest runway looks fresh from New York City's Fashion Week, but Fair Dinkum Fashion provides a fresh look on the latest T-shirt designs without straying too far from the Rotunda.

Traveling personalities

It is a truth universally acknowledged that friends are not always the best roommates, and as I am sure many of you discovered last week on Spring Break, sometimes friends are not the most hospitable traveling companions.

Give me some peanuts and crackerjacks

Spring Break has come and gone, we've grudgingly turned the clocks back to lose an hour of sleep, the season's last home basketball game is over and hopes of a winter wonderland are quickly dwindling.
