Welcome to the maiden voyage of Undergrad magazine. This ‘Beginning’ issue beckons a momentous genesis in the monthly publication for students and former ones. The magazine partakes with the everyday hard roads and fun times of the youth and the youth at heart. We encourage you to ventilate your grievances, speak your mind out, and be advocates of responsibility while enjoying the times of our youth. Ironically, besides this exuberant first step is the scrutiny of a possible revelation of our world. Are we near to the last days of our world? If we are, then is this because of our doing? Global Warming or Biblical plagues? Deforestation or Divine intervention? Scientific or Prophetic? So many questions answered only in riddled silence. Have fun also the thrill-ride of this issue’s sections like Print Screen, a crazy movie and TV review portion where we dissect and bash even the best movies and T.V. series. Alma Matter covers about your school, the campus stereotypes, and tips for those who are studying. There is also sCOOL Supply that talks about gadgets, trends, fashion, and lifestyle of the average and the popular students.

DEADLY VIPER CHARACTER ASSASSINS: CYBER DISCOURSE ON ASIAN AMERICAN MARGINALIZATION AND IDENTITY by EILEEN WANG Under the Direction of Marian Meyers ABSTRACT This study examines how Asian Americans articulate their marginalization and identity, as well as other issues related to race, through the use of blogs. Specifically, I look at discourse surrounding the Deadly Viper Character Assassins publication controversy on three different blogs. I draw upon critical discourse analysis (CDA) to compile patterns, themes, and anomalies from the online discussions. This paper highlights key findings, given the scarceness of Asian American voices in public
