With the heat boiling outside, the air-conditioned Performing Arts Building was the perfect escape with spirited entertainment. Seats were filled as the lights dimmed and performers took the stage during the Children’s Dance Theatre on Saturday. The main feature performance was “Peter and the Wolf,” a musical story that was originally created to teach children the different instruments in an orchestra.
As students, most of us have dropped a class for one reason or another. The particulars involved in deciding to drop vary for all students. Therefore, for the sake of public interest, thanks to data provided by the Los Angeles Pierce College Office of Institutional Research, here are the top 10 dropped courses at Pierce College.
“You Can’t Take It With You” was a hit for most of its opening night audience, which laughed heartily when it was supposed to, but also found meaning in the heartfelt, serious moments as well. As a whole, the play was generally good, well written and acted.
I am a dirty filthy smoker.† † I smoke a pack a day and by all indications from those that I come into contact with, I am going to soon be infected with terrible diseases and probably die early.† † As if that weren’t punishment enough for my choice, now, because of my habit, I am potentially a criminal in my own town.

Mushrooms go great with pizza but better with music and art under a desert sky. Driving the 160-mile voyage in my VW Microbus began the adventure with a vibe reminiscent of the clogged highway that led to Yasgur’s farm in 1969. In a time when even the memory of Woodstock has been reduced to commercialism and violent, angst-filled youth, the chance to find peace, music and art was upon me: Coachella Music and Arts Festival 2006.
At the weekly Associated Students Organization meeting on May 9, several important items were voted on and approved. A $500 scholarship for international students was passed to help ease the fee increase that will occur this summer. The fee increase will only affect the international and non-residents students.
Increasing gas prices shouldn’t make me seek another part- time job. In the past year, costs have increased immensely. This affects not only college students, but the general population. Just one week ago, a 7-cent increment for every gallon of regular, unleaded and diesel fuel was implemented at various gas stations.
W hen I go to the gym, it seems that half the people work out, while use the mirrors to admire themselves. Los Angeles is one of the few places where the gym serves as a social gala. For instance, my girlfriend won’t put on make-up when we go out with my friends (this wasn’t an easy catch, I just want to see the fruits of my labors), but waiting for her to get dolled up for the gym is a trying experience.
