Zine on the Scene

For ASU alumnus Chase Kamp, the dream of making a statement with print media is a fact of life. He edits the zine (pronounced "zeen"), "Water Science." On the outside, the periodical is an unassuming, photocopied, DIY, staple-bound stack of papers. Inside, it's brimming with bright literary pieces from young, emerging writers.

Get Fresh: The Red Cups are Back

As a college freshman, it is essential to have my daily dose of coffee in order to function. This time of year is especially the best to break away from my usual grande caramel macchiato and start my days with a coffee shop's specialty seasonal drinks. Starbucks is by far the best coffee shop for seasonal drinks.

In the Huddle: The Trojan War

Geekin’ It: (Legal) Internet TV

TV and I have always had a love hate relationship. Sure I love South Park and The Daily Show, but it somehow always get scheduled at the exact wrong time.

Nestled between Phoenix and Scottsdale, the Arcadia neighborhood screams "California" and is home to a slew of delicious and hip restaurants. SPM presents the best (and worst) of Arcadia's eateries, with a splash of Biltmore Fashion Park and just one disappointing burger joint.

Jon Stewart's Rally Reaches Tempe

At first light, the Rally to Restore Sanity is ambiguous at best. It’s a rally about nothing and everything all at once, thrown by the "Daily Show," Comedy Central's political-farce powerhouse. But instead of scrambling to purchase a flight to D.C. this Saturday, head over to Hayden Lawn at the Tempe campus to celebrate this exercise in free speech.
