Many students own bicycles at SFUAD; it’s a great way to get around campus. But it is rare to see students riding across campus. In fact, it seems as if most of these bicycles just sit on campus: some have missing wheels, flat tires and sometimes bent wheels. The number one reason these bikes have flat tires is likely due to the little thorns known as goat heads. So people lock up their bikes and just let them sit and rust in a cluttered mess outside the...

There’s nothing like the experience of watching a performance at the Greer Garson Theatre. Luckily, this fast paced school provides plenty of entertainment. Very Still and Hard to See, a short play by Steve Yockey, directed by Gail Springer, is the next main stage show coming to SFUAD. While recounting the history of a cursed hotel, this play follows the unfortunate guests who stay there. They are tortured by possessive ghosts while trying to maintain the ever-growing hole in the hotel floor. These encounters make the audience question what’s real and acknowledge that sometimes terrible things happen for a reason. “I was immediately drawn to the psycho symbolic aspects of the writing, and couldn’t wrap my imagination around a play in which most of the important ‘character’ is never seen or even named,” Springer says. As these characters fall prey to their own natural instincts, they’re forced to bring their survival instincts into play, while the unnamed and unseen character takes the role of the super ego. Come out and enjoy the hard work of talented performers Kinsey Sarian, Jared Vazquez, Scott Shettig, Natalie Fox, Andi Star, Courtney Taylor, Garrick Sigl, and Liam O’Brien. The show will takes place in the Greer Garson Theater at 7 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays, Nov. 19-21 and Dec. 4-5; and at 2 p.m., Sundays, Nov. 22 and Dec. 6....

Junior photography student Monica Suárez shot a class project for the lighting 1 class taught by Eric Swanson. The assignment was to take a photo from the internet and recreate it. Suárez picked  a tough photo using messy baby powder and a model for the project. She has always challenged herself photographically. “Don’t take homework as homework, take it as an opportunity to build your portfolio,”Suárez said. Also on set was Suárez’ model, film major Ekaternia Ignatova, and her assistant, Studio arts major Abdiel Beltran. “It’s fun but I hate Monica for this,” Ignatova said. “I’m covered in baby powder and I have class in 30 minutes.” Beltran said he also had a good experience, and that it was his first time in the photo...
