Wednesday and purchasing Monday’s paper.” ? Steve Zeif, SDSU convenience store director Students at San Diego State University may not be able to read some of the magazines or newspapers at Monty’s Market Place ? not because the students are illiterate, but because the publications are in foreign languages. For the past three weeks, the [...]

It happened in the closing seconds of one of the most lopsided defeats ever for the San Diego State men’s basketball team. Point guard Jason Richey stole the ball, took it the length of the court, and lobbed the ball off the backboard to teammate Matt Watts for a thunderous slam. Buzzer. End of season. [...]

Contact may still take place in intramural flag football at San Diego State, but it may only be “accidental,” according to new rules approved by the Associated Students Council last week. Vince Cortes, intramural sports coordinator at SDSU, said accidental contact occurs when two players jump for the ball and bump into each other accidentally. [...]

The put-out was a routine one. A one-out flip from pitcher Tara Atkins to first base. But it fell an inch short of Erryn Gutjahr’s glove and New Mexico parlayed that inch into a four-run fourth inning that propelled the Lobos to a 7-2 win over San Diego State, splitting yesterday’s softball doubleheader. “Tara’s been [...]

It’s developed a strange sound all its own and, interestingly enough, it seems to work. In the band’s new release, “Come Clean,” a couple of songs are reminiscent of the overplayed “alternative” genre; [...]

surrounded by piles of garbage. Rebel Rebel is trouble, period. The band doesn’t look very attractive and its sound is even worse, but these aren’t the reasons you go to see them. A four-piece glam/punk/rock ‘n’ roll band from the Los Angeles area, Rebel Rebel has quite a few demerits to its name. The band [...]

The Coen brothers, fresh off their Oscar-winning “Fargo,” take us out of the cold and violence of Minnesota and into the bizarre and campiness of Los Angeles in “The Big Lebowski.” Jeff Bridges stars as Jeff Lebowski, or “The Dude” as he likes to be called ? an unemployed bushy-bearded hippie with a fondness for [...]

Just to get the ball rolling up front: No, there is nothing really wrong with Leonardo DiCaprio. He’s a talented enough actor, his boyish good looks work for him in many roles and he’s a bankable star. But it is simply not fair to shove him into a film with four actors of a higher [...]

New Orleans may have such bands as Galachtic and Rebirth to call its own, but San Diego’s got Soulcracker to enhance this city’s rich music culture. What sets apart Soulcracker from many other San Diego bands is its energetic, often acrobatic and full of spark-style performances that transfer directly into the audience, bringing every show [...]

San Diego State University President Stephen Weber is not moving forward with his “diversity fee” proposal aimed at easing the $2.1 million athletics deficit and promoting diversity on campus.
