  • Students from North Campus (Arts & Humanities) walked across campus today singing songs of hope for AIDS awareness. They warmly greeted students walking to and from class by handing out t-shirts and asking them to join in and walk. "The 'Kiss and Tell' theme is about re-affirming safe sexual practices and is also about everyone knowing how this is affecting others all around the world." - Dana Helwick, coordinator for Students for International Change....
  • The LA Times is reporting that Cardinal Roger M. Mahony announced early this morning that 45 victims of sexual abuse by clergymen will be awarded $60 million in an out-of-court settlement. However, the 45 claims only represent 8% of the 562 alleged cases of sexual abuse by priests. Cardinal Mahony has been the target of much criticism here in Los Angeles for failing to deal with alleged priest pedophilia properly -- this settlement will...
  • Spirit squad peeps are putting the finishing touches on Trojan piñatas, and sorority girls are tacking their sole set of panties onto the Undie Run Float. The parade, bonfire and rally will begin on campus tonight at 8pm, where dozens of student-built floats, marching bands, and alumnus will help the football team and spirit squad get thousands pumped for Saturday's football game against USC. The event will culminate into a bonfire pep rally at...
  • 2007 Chevy Malibu shown above...no seriously, that's a Malibu On Monday, in a sneak preview of what you can see this weekend at the LA Auto Show, LAist was invited to get an inside look at what GM Design has been working on for the past five years.

  • Didn't mommy tell you to stop playing with those bears? They're bound to hurt you sometime soon. Tommy Trojan, you stupid bastard. You don't even know what's coming, do you? UCLA M. Football has been gearing up for the game of the season, the age-old cross-town rivalry of epic proportions. USC and UCLA will go to battle this Saturday at 1:30pm at the Rose Bowl. This year will hopefully be more interesting than the...
  • In case you missed it, Michael Richards (better known as Kramer) apologized on national television last night for his racist tirade at the Laugh Factory last week. It seems like he's on an acid trip but the apology nonetheless sounds genuine. Still, forgivable? You decide....
  • Seinfeld's oh-so-funny Michael Richards left a crowd full of fans silent as he walked off stage Friday night at the Laugh Factory down on the Sunset strip. Kyle Doss was at the show with 25 other friends when he started to heckle Richards, saying "You're not funny". The cellphone-camera/handycam starts rolling as soon as Richards screams "Fifty years ago we'd have you hanging upside-down with a fork in your ass," then continuing "You can...
  • If you've never ventured to the Farmer's Market at The Grove to try out Pampas Brazilian Churrascaria, then tonight is the night. Oh what, you were actually going to make your girlfriend watch Monk at your rat-hole apartment for the fifth Friday night in a row? On the real, Pampas has some top-quality grilled meats, including this writer's favorites, the sirloin cap (alcatra) and the grilled lamb. The eatery is open and outdoor since...
  • The Bruins head to Arizona State tomorrow energized by last week's decimation of Oregon State. Patrick Cowan and his support staff have put the four previous games behind them, and Bruin fans everywhere are riding this as though a new season has begun. However this Saturday will be a pivotal game, since a win against Arizona State will put UCLA in bowl game territory. Let's all hope for a repeat performance from young Patrick...
  • It's beginning to feel a lot like a UC again on campus. For the first time in years, UCLA students threw down their books and returned to their activist roots by staging a major demonstration this afternoon. Students have been shocked and frustrated by the recent tasering of a UCLA student by UCPD officers at the student library, and it has grown to the point where many are feeling the need to voice their...
