But Students’ Association (SA) Government officials behind the effort think people will get bored of taking tampons in bulk trips and stealing baskets. And they called the effort a success so far. “I would say I’ve been happy with how it’s been going,” SA Vice President Lance Floto said. “I mean, people are using it, we’re filling a need that the campus needs, that was the goal of the program, and I think that as far as the 5K Challenge YIYUN HUANG / PHOTO EDITOR goes [...] our long-term goal Students’ Association presidential candidates (left, sophomores Nick Foti and Gabi Lipschitz; center, juniors Courtney Thomas Jr. and Delvin Moody; right, ju- is to make this happen next niors Jordan Smith and Becca Mooney) discuss policy and answer questions at the debate Wednesday night in Hoyt Auditorium.

  • Darick Robertson: Into the Night
    Darick Robertson: Into The Night “There are some things in this world that are neither human nor mutant, but threaten both species. There are places in this world where shadows rule—and creatures of darkness and light struggle, hidden from view. Where the superhuman and the supernatural meet, where the line between sorcery and science blurs, where the occult and the quotidian intermingle… there stalks the Nightcrawler.” That’s how writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa pitched Nightcrawler, a new monthly series set to debut this September from Marvel Comics. The book will be the first to feature the solo adventures of the fuzzy blue mutant on an ongoing basis. Joining Sacasa on the series will be talented artist Darick Robertson. Robertson cut his teeth on the acclaimed DC/Vertigo series Transmetropolitan before moving over to Marvel to pencil the controversial mini-series Fury and the Punisher origin tale Born. Late last year he also relaunched the monthly title Wolverine with writer Greg Rucka. Although Nightcrawler is still in the early stages of development, Darick took some time to answer questions about the recently revealed project. MARKISAN NASO: How did you get involved with Nightcrawler? DARICK ROBERTSON: It was offered to me by Marvel when it was clear that I would be available towards the end of my Wolverine run. I had mentioned to a few people there how much I love the character and how badly I wanted to do a Nightcrawler project. [Marvel Editor] CB Cebulski nominated me for the title immediately, recalling how much I enjoy drawing the character and our collaboration on X-Men Unlimited.
