Weekender Interview | Jon Heder
March 28In his new film, "Blades of Glory," Jon Heder trades in his nun-chucks for a pair of figure skates as he masters yet another "skill" - ice skating. After being kicked out of the 2002 Olympics, washed up rival skaters Chazz Michael Michaels (Will Ferrell) and Jimmy MacElroy (Heder) resolve their differences and reenter the rink through a loophole, performing as a team. Working alongside Will Ferrell, Heder displays his laugh-out-loud physical humor once again, and one can only hope this movie will prove just as quotable as "Napoleon Dynamite" (2004). In a conference call, Heder discussed the hard work that went into the film as well as his various views on the overall comedic experience.

Olivia TeytelBaum | PhobiaPhiles
March 27With spring break behind us, I feel it is very appropriate to touch on a fear that probably affected about a third of our student population: miss-a-plane-o-phobia. While this particular trepidation might not affect us on a daily basis, when it hits, boy, does it hit hard. Allow me to recount for you my particular run-in with MaP-o-P. What follows - an entry from my personal journal- is a series of events so random, so strangely evil in nature, that it almost hurts to retell. Actually, I take it back. It feels pretty good.
