CD Review: It’s not the end of the world for R.E.M.

April saw the release of R.E.M.’s “Accelerate,” one of the band’s
first albums since the unimpressive few that were released since
2004’s “Around the Sun.” There is no doubt that long-time fans of
the Georgia-based band will expect “Accelerate” to deliver-and,
for the most part, it does.

Check this out: ‘Mixed Tape Project:’ theater for any mood

While religious protesters outside Shafer
Court Dining Center are a frequent part of VCU’s
landscape, the scene was more chaotic than usual
Monday when several groups of counter-protesters
brought visual aids to make their case, including
a large gold phallus.

VCU viewpoints: Why was voter turnout so low in this year’s SGA election?
