Flight of the Carillon

Most ASU students on the Tempe campus are familiar with the sounds of the carillon, but few can explain the source of the chiming bells at the top of the hour or the music ringing around the Memorial Union daily at 5 p.m.

How to: Be Single on Valentine’s Day

For many people, it’s difficult to swallow singleness when February rolls around. Some will scrounge around for a date, but is that really necessary? There are plenty of ways to keep your mind off the roses, chocolates, jewelry and fancy dinners that accompany the holiday of love.

Live and Otherwise: Music Fills the Hallways of MIM

Music is the language of the soul. No, it’s not the title of some New Age self-help book, or yet another "Chicken Soup for the Soul" concoction. This is the premise behind the relatively new addition to the museum circuit in the Valley.

Non-Required Reading: Cowboys and Aliens Take Over

Now, last time , I discussed our first appearance of the Captain America trailer, so you’d probably think I was going to discuss Thor’s Super Bowl appearance. Wrong.

Here’s a brief summary of "Cowboys & Aliens:"  James Bond is a cowboy that has a weird object on his arm.

Piece of Craft: Love is in the Air...Literally

Whether you have that special someone or you consider Valentine’s Day to be just another day of the week, you cannot deny that something is in the air...and in our case, it’s these hearts!  I happened to stumble across this idea, originally done by Martha Stewart not too long ago and decided to try it out.

Other than Ramen: The Legacy of Sweethearts

Valentine’s Day has always been synonymous with one candy for me: Conversation Hearts. Since my first experiences of exchanging valentines in kindergarten, I could always count on taking home a couple boxes of the classic multicolored pastel Sweethearts.
