‘Clerks II’ hits the counters
On Tuesday, Kevin Smith’s newest hit “Clerks II” will hit shelves on DVD. This chapter of the View Askew saga follows Dante and Randal after the infamous Quick Stop Groceries store of the first movie – and seen through many subsequent films – burns down, and the duo are forced to become employed at Mooby’s, a horrible family-oriented fast-food franchise.
Badfish hits Richmond with the Sublime style
Badfish, a tribute to the band Sublime, entered Richmond’s Canal Club on Thursday night. Attracting the biggest crowd they’ve yielded in Richmond, according to bassist Joel Hanks, concertgoers charged to the stage at the first note of the show.

On how Thanksgiving was
Unlike many other students at VCU, my Thanksgiving holiday was not one of relaxation and holiday cheer – I ended up being scheduled for a shift at my hotel to do a round of room service. In tandem with an already hectic work schedule and a full course load, I am also studying for my LSAT that takes place on Dec.
Opinion in Brief
The semester is nearly over, folks. We’re entering the final stretch, and in only a few weeks we will be in the midst of our winter break! Best of luck to everyone on their term papers, final exams and class presentations. This is a stressful time of year, but the holiday season is always a perfect time to kick back and relax.
Riding with strangers, with help from VCU
Would you take a ride from a complete stranger? Some students are doing just that, with help from VCU.

The board is located in the basement of the University Student Commons.
