	UCLA is Tobacco-Free! By Christie Groth April 27, 2013 - 8:12pm On Monday, April 22, 2013, UCLA officially became the first tobacco-free UC campus. What greater day to launch this new policy than on Earth Day? Although parts of the campus, such as the Health Sciences campuses and hospitals, have been smoke-free for over a year, it is now time to implement this policy to the entire school. Hopefully a smoke-free environment will stop students from 1) continuing bad habits, or 2) starting to smoke in the future. The main goal of the policy is to help students quit, however. And, what’s great about the policy is it’s not centered around police presence; it’s focused on health education and support for the smoking community. READ MORE
	It's the Little Things By Divya Mowji April 27, 2013 - 12:54am I saw this quote while I was volunteering. I came across it on the steps in a stairwell and as I continued walking up those stairs, I found more and more inspiring quotes. This one was my favorite because it's also the middle of midterms season and I wanted to remind everyone to hang in there and give it you hardest efforts because it can be very worth it in the end! It's the little things like this that just make someone's day! READ MORE
	Movie Review: 42 By Ekta Partani April 21, 2013 - 2:29pm Described as being a movie that “succeeds in respecting the facts of history and the personality of its hero, and in reminding audiences why he mattered” by the New York Times, 42 has gotten rave reviews from the critics. As the life story of a famous Bruin, Jackie Robinson (yes, our baseball stadium is named after him), it is definitely one that will be sure to move you whether you love baseball or not. READ MORE

	Exciting UCLA Happenings By Christie Groth April 10, 2013 - 2:35am Exciting UCLA Happenings 1) Have you ever dreamt of walking down the side of a building? Well, apparently Choreographer Trisha Brown has, and she actually decided to make this dream a reality. Dancer Amelia Rudolf did, indeed, walk down the side of the eight-story-high Eli and Edythe Broad Art Center at UCLA on Wednesday, April 3rd, 2013 for the dress rehearsal of “Man Walking Down the Side of a Building.” The actual performance was on April 5th, 2013.

	Witnessing EDM History By Divya Mowji March 13, 2013 - 7:46pm This past Saturday I had the pleasure of going to Swedish House Mafia's last stop on their "One Last Tour." For those of you interested in EDM, I can tell you this felt like I was witnessing history because they won't even play as a group again. That being said, the show was absolutely unforgettable. I loved every second of Swedish House Mafia's set. This photo was taken while I was sitting on my friend's shoulders, taking in the breathtaking view ahead of me. It was incredible. READ MORE
