http://graphic.pepperdine.edu/perspectives/ The latest perspectives from the Graphic, a Pepperdine University student publication. en-us Mon, 11 Jan 2010 11:09:13 -0800 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss OmniUpdate (OU Publish) http://graphic.pepperdine.edu/perspectives/2007/2007-11-08-staffed.htm News flash to all who dare to drive to class: there is parking on campus for every student. No, the reavealing of a new parking structure with room for 700 cars is not happening, just yet. Graphic Staff <graphic@pepperdine.edu> Thu, 8 Nov 2007 17:32:41 -0800 http://graphic.pepperdine.edu/perspectives/2007/2007-11-01-staffed.htm Pepperdine was prepared when the Canyon Fire burst the Malibu bubble last week and threatened the campus. Graphic Staff <graphic@pepperdine.edu> Tue, 6 Nov 2007 23:56:34 -0800 http://graphic.pepperdine.edu/perspectives/2007/2007-10-04-Staffed.htm College is not only a place for education, but it is a place to meet new people, grow as individuals and share thoughts. However, Pepperdine is missing a core element, the necessary stage for such things to take place -- a student commons. Graphic <graphic@pepperdine.edu> Tue, 9 Oct 2007 23:44:28 -0700 http://graphic.pepperdine.edu/perspectives/2007/2007-09-27-Taser.htm When students at Colorado State University in Fort Collins opened the Sept. 24 issue of the Rocky Mountain Collegian, their student newspaper, an oversized and attention-grabbing headline shouted at them: "Taser this ... F*** BUSH." Staff Editorial <graphic@pepperdine.edu> Sat, 29 Sep 2007 10:53:57 -0700 http://graphic.pepperdine.edu/perspectives/2007/2007-09-20-Staffed.htm Every year Pepperdine students merge together to conquer Step Forward Day, an event that provides hands-on assistance to non-profits, builds community on campus and gives students a taste of service. This mission-centered event is one of the highlights of the school year. But this year it seems like many students weren't satisfied with the taste they left with that day.

Graphic <graphic@pepperdine.edu> Thu, 13 Sep 2007 16:59:49 -0700 http://graphic.pepperdine.edu/perspectives/2007/2007-08-27-staffed.htm What's in a name? Despite its simplicity, the Student Activities staff's decision to change the Wednesday morning program from Convocation to Chapel sends a different meaning to the Pepperdine community and potential students. The name "Chapel" clearly holds a more religious connotation than the word convocation. Is this what Pepperdine wants? Perhaps. David Tesic <dmtesic@pepperdine.edu> Sat, 8 Sep 2007 00:55:29 -0700 http://graphic.pepperdine.edu/perspectives/2007/2007-04-05-staffed.htm This semester's Graphic said hello to the year 2007 with a breaking online news story on the Malibu fire, followed by the unusual-snow-in-Malibu story in the first issue. It feels like the spring semester began not too long ago, but the time has already come: this semester's Graphic staff has to say good-bye with this issue. David Tesic <dmtesic@pepperdine.edu> Sun, 15 Apr 2007 04:05:58 -0700 http://graphic.pepperdine.edu/perspectives/2007/2007-03-01-staffed.htm Pepperdine prides itself on its campus diversity, supporting students from varied ethnic and economic backgrounds. The university, though it is affiliated with the Church of Christ, has welcomed students from varying religious and political backgrounds to campus, presumably to enrich campus life with fresh opinions and ideas. David Tesic <dmtesic@pepperdine.edu> Thu, 8 Mar 2007 19:44:06 -0800 http://graphic.pepperdine.edu/perspectives/2007/2007-01-18-staffed.htm The policy for appropriate exercise attire is anything but appropriate. Its claim to protect students from infection is far-fetched and it contradicts the university's tradition of not having a dress code. David Tesic <dmtesic@pepperdine.edu> Mon, 22 Jan 2007 14:43:41 -0800 http://graphic.pepperdine.edu/perspectives/2006/2006-11-16-staffed.htm Tuesday's election results certainly came as a surprise to many, in that while Democrats were sure to take back the House, the Senate would prove more difficult. David Tesic <dmtesic@pepperdine.edu> Wed, 22 Nov 2006 12:22:29 -0800 http://graphic.pepperdine.edu/perspectives/2006/2006-11-09-benton.htm In light of the Graphic's "Benton wins honor, loses award over scheduling" from the Nov. 2 issue, the Americanism Education League award, with which President Benton was supposed to be presented, will be missing from his mantle. Miscommunications and calendar conflicts may be to blame for the AEL's award retraction, but this mistake should not go unaddressed.

Though students are more than halfway through the semester, the daily disappointment by the University's new (and supposedly improved) Web portal, WaveNet, leaves something to be desired. As such, many students continue to use the defunct but still up and running PepXpress.

It's hard to pull off, especially if you've been out of the spotlight so long that you might as well be found on a milk carton with a "missing" sign above your head. Comebacks are difficult, but impossible? Not at all. David Tesic <dmtesic@pepperdine.edu> Tue, 31 Oct 2006 11:50:37 -0800 http://graphic.pepperdine.edu/perspectives/2006/2006-10-05-staffed.htm Attention students. This year welcomes a change on campus that is worthy of notice. No, wednesday convo has not been cancelled and parking spots have not been added -- this change has to do with student groups and activities.
