Coming from the electronic music genre, dubstep’s older twice-removed cousin House Music, has a long history of experimentation that has brought it to the mainstream. With current popular DJs like David Guetta and Avicii, House Music has established itself as a club staple.
A genre that encompasses many subgenres, the original House Music was born in Chicago during the early ’80s. A descendant of disco, the underground scene welcomed a deeper more synthesized sound with one intention — to bring people together and make them dance.
The underground culture welcomed people of ... Featured, News »
For the spring semester, the Inter Club Council (ICC) redesigned the procedure for allocating funds to clubs. The resulting change involved the formation of a new Funding Committee primarily intended to ensure that the money was used well, according to ICC President Danielle Byrd, a senior.
Last year, there were weekly meetings where an allotment of $5,000 was given out, Byrd said. Representatives from all 85 ICC-member clubs could attend and vote on which clubs would receive money. The reality was that clubs would really only attend when they wanted money, ... Featured, News »
With the first of two mandatory International Programs (IP) orientations taking place this Saturday, directors and faculty are scrambling to prepare students in the 2012–2013 academic year programs for the alcohol-culture shock many will experience. Alcohol abuse is a prime issue that program directors agree can be averted with onset guidance.
Alcohol Awareness Week ends this Friday, and in case prospective students going abroad overlooked it, they’ll be briefed on the subject soon enough.
Plans for the orientation are still in its finishing stages, and Jeff Hamilton, director of IP admissions and ... Featured, Sports »

The Los Angeles County Department of Beaches and Harbors issued a statement Tuesday clarifying the controversial ball- and Frisbee-throwing ordinance passed last week. With the ordinance, the LA County (LAC) Board of Supervisors had banned Frisbees, balls and several other beach games for the entire summer. The statement explained, however, that the decision ought to actually increase safe, legal beach activities.
According to the statement, “The new ordinance lifts a decades-old, all-out ban on playing football, Frisbee and other ball on the beach.” The decades-old ban actually prohibited the playing of ... Featured, Perspectives »
We haven’t heard this much campus chatter about Chapel in a long time. Well, at least not this much positive chatter. Last week, Pepperdine hosted a Wednesday morning convocation speaker who was not only a student, senior A.J. Hawks, but one who openly shared his homosexuality and the struggle which precluded that admission for some time.
Now pause for a moment and consider this: Just 15 short years ago, Pepperdine hosted a convocation speaker who proposed that homosexuality could be healed. According to a news article in the Sept. 25, 1997 ... Featured, Perspectives »
According to a 2011 Gallup poll, 97 percent of Americans of all races, ages 18 to 37 accept interracial dating, while only 61 percent of Americans age 70 and over accept it. Despite the apparent amiability among younger adults, there seems to be a difference between accepting interracial dating and actually taking part in it.
“I think many like the idea, yet would never do it themselves,” freshman Jacklyn Maza said.
Crossing the generational divide, the disapproval grows. As some students explained, many parents and especially grandparents seem opposed to the concept.

They call me “Old Faithful.” It’s the kind of person that I am. My friends tuck me away in the back corner of the middle drawer — easily accessible, yet easily hidden. Clearly, they’re embarrassed of me or don’t think that much of me. I am never there, or invited to be there, when they are having fun because they don’t need me then. At that point, when they are having the time of their lives, they are satisfied with whom they have around them. Naturally, I have things to ... Featured, Life & Arts »
Ingrid Michaelson should be careful what she wishes for, or she’ll end up with more Justin Bieber journals. When the popular singer-songwriter treated fans to an intimate, in-store performance at the Barnes & Noble at the Grove in Los Angeles on Saturday, a group of teenage girls presented her with a journal bearing the tween icon’s image after she joked (?) about coveting one when she walked past them in the store. These exchanges are what many have come to expect from the good-humored Michaelson at her live shows. After ...
