After a week of waiting, Ram Nation finally got the answer to its question concerning the future of men’s basketball coach Anthony Grant.

Let’s talk about Iraq: Traveling exhibition prompts campus curiosity
A striking visual component is hitched to the back of the “It Is What It Is: Conversations About Iraq” RV. Artist Jeremy Deller and guests speakers displayed the remains of a car left over from a bombing that occurred back in March 2007 in Baghdad.
The traveling exhibition made its first campus stop at VCU Friday in the University Student Commons Theater.
French film
Following a packed schedule of screenings, master classes and presentations, the French Delegation for the Richmond French Film Festival and dozens of French cinema fans migrated from Carytown to VCU’s Scott House for schmoozing and celebrating.
Francophiles of all ages perused the tasty treats courtesy of A Sharper Palate, Sophisticated Soirees, Millie’s and others.
Film tackles taboo subject
After screening the film “Cliente” at the Byrd Theatre Saturday, director, screenwriter, producer and actress Josiane Balasko said she did not judge characters portrayed in her film. This might be surprising considering the film portrays the lives of a French gigolo, his client and his pimping wife.

Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor,
