Tons of tots

By Jessica Vanatta | October 12, 2005

Apple. Coco. Denim. Kal-el. Ireland. What do these seemingly random words and syllables have in common? For students keeping up with celebrity baby-making and child-naming, the answer is obvious: the unusual names celebrities give their babies. Such uncommon names have been popping up more often as celebrities seem to have been popping out more babies. University students said they have noticed the abundance of pregnant superstars, and they have something to say about this trend. Third-year College student Chelsey Jones said she thinks having babies is in vogue right now for celebrities, and this trend is not necessarily something new. "I think for celebrities, having babies is a huge fad right now -- and so is naming children weird," Jones said.

Aging hipsters storm C'ville, Coldplay makes me cry

By AJ Aronstein | October 11, 2005

Yeah, that's right: real hippies." The drunken gentleman behindme and my friend Rachel wore a tie-dyed shirt that said "Stoned at the Stones" on it. He probably has a wife named Sally, two kids, a cocker spaniel and takes medication for minor hypertension. But he was here last week to rock out with Mick. One day, I thought to myself, I will be that man too. The last two weeks reaffirmed why I listen to music, go to concerts and specifically, why I wish I could move my hips the way 62-year-old Mick Jagger does. I saw Coldplay at Nissan Pavilion a few weeks ago, for the closing show of their American tour. "It was life-changing," I said to my friend Nick a few days later. His response is unprintable in a respectable college daily newspaper. Laugh it up, I can take your worst shots. I love Coldplay. I can't help it.

Last chance to see The Rolling Bones?

By Molly Seltzer | October 10, 2005

I've been to a lot of concerts in my time. I've seen big bands, little bands, good bands, bad bands, rubber bands -- you name it, I've had that experience. And while it wasn't the most fantastic show I've ever witnessed, The Rolling Stones concert is something I won't forget for a long time. It all began with a press pass.

Still fratastic?

By Erin Gaetz | October 10, 2005

Don't fear the reaper

By Connor Sullivan | October 7, 2005

I love this time of year. As someone who has happily spent his whole life luxuriating in the weather patterns north of the Mason-Dixon Line, I find it somehow deeply disturbing when we enjoy such exhaustingly fine weather for so long.

Arabian nights (and days)

By Maya Ujie | October 5, 2005

"Oh Lord! She's gonna come back a terrorist!" Sadly enough, that was the No. 1 response I got from people in my hometown last spring when I told them I would be spending my summer in the Middle East.
