Student artists showcase work
by La Voz WeeklyJun 21, 2009“Anyone who has ever been to the Student Art Show would be impressed at what De Anza College's Euphrat Museum has to offer.
As you walk in, live music is playing and student volunteers greet you courteously. The reception is laid out in an elegant manner, and to the right the museum, which hosts art pieces from over 100 artists from De Anza.”
Custodio raps for a cause
by La Voz WeeklyJun 21, 2009“OJ Custodio is doing it all: rapping and performing, fundraising for his hip-hop club on campus and training in Muay Thai martial arts. On the side he is an ambitious student, a caring friend and a loving brother. He has aspirations to make a change in the world.”
Non-smokers have serious concerns
by La Voz WeeklyJun 21, 2009“I was taken back by the June 8 article "Stop whining about smokers on campus." I am a professor in the Child Development Department and a nurse; I have four pregnant women in my class who must pass through secondhand smoke because smokers think it is their right to smoke in a non-smoking areas.”
Summer's coming, go out and be adventurous
by La Voz WeeklyJun 21, 2009“Are you planning on sitting around all summer, working your tail off or partying like a rock star? Well pardon my French, but what a lame excuse for a summer. Students should take full advantage of summer, but only a few do.
I asked students, why on earth wouldn't they be taking any vacations? It seems that the main reasons are lack of funds or unawareness of the possibilities.”

by La Voz WeeklyJun 21, 2009“I often hear students gripe about how much their textbooks cost and how much they have to work to afford them. Some students have found ways of downloading their class's books, avoiding these high prices. By definition this is stealing. However, I contest that it is justified.”
General Motors gets down to business
by La Voz WeeklyJun 21, 2009“As their reinvented slogan states, General Motors' bankruptcy filing "isn't about going out of business - this is about getting down to business."
I guess the current foundation of General Motors does not coincide with its previous slogan and its advertisements' theme song, "Like a Rock.”
Gaming innovations underutilized
by La Voz WeeklyJun 21, 2009“Ever since the release of Pong in 1972, the gaming industry has evolved into a media format that allows an individual to interact in a world of art along with the technology to bring our imagination to life. In a sense, it bridges the gap of visual images and personal creativity.”
A grim fable II
by La Voz WeeklyJun 21, 2009“With summer break soon upon us, it seemed appropriate to use this academic year's last installment to look back and update everyone on (you guessed it) the state of the economy. And as promised in last quarter's grande finale, let us do so by returning to the land of the United States of Amnesia, where, after going through a rather traumatic economic crisis of their own, the country was rescued by its new Prince and his Knights of the Economic Square Table, who, with swift and decisive action, cured the land of its ills.”
Class choices affected by ratings
by La Voz WeeklyJun 21, 2009“In today's technology age, there is a place to see if a particular instructor is a good fit for you or not, before you actually attend the class. It is called RateMyProfessor.com.
Founded in May 1999 by John Swapceinski, the site allows college and university students to anonymously assign ratings to professors of American, Canadian, and British institutions.” | News Topics
