Instagram Reason for going: I wanted to see more of the world and I may never get the chance to go again. Best experience/memory: Skydiving out over the ocean and landing on the beach @BryantArchway of Wollongong or snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef. Funny cultural experience: We found out the hard way that flip flops are called ‘thongs’ over there. How was the school different from Bryant University? The school was a lot larger and had once a week lectures along with a tutorial for each lecture instead of class two or three times a week like we have. Also the housing is scattered throughout the town so buses are the best way to get to class without walking twenty minutes. Follow us! How did this experience change you? I now have a greater sense of adventure. It showed me that there is much more to the world than what we see, and now I want to go explore it. Would you study abroad again given the opportunity? Definitely. It was a great Twitter way to explore places I may never get to again. My piece of advice would be to make sure to plan what trips you want to take before you go. Don’t wait too long to plan anything and don’t wait on anyone @TheArchway because you’ll never get to do everything you want. page 5 Business October 9, 2014 Apple vs. Samsung update

The USFA can MCT Campus and should lead the way in setting standards and recipes that all districts, even the smaller ones, can use. Eating is part of the educational day and mealtime needs to be treated as such. Serving food to students is what we do. As the Urban School Food Alliance, we Students should be given enough time to eat so that they are not rushed or forced to represent six of the largest school districts in the nation (New York City, Los Angeles, skip meals altogether because of dwindling meal periods. Just like math and science, Chicago, Miami, Dallas and Orlando), feeding more than 3 million elementary, middle food and eating should be thought of as part of, and not an intrusion upon, the school and high school students every school day. educational day. Eating well is learning well. Our mission is more than just supplying healthy meals for our children. We believe This is also why the debate arising from the issue of plate waste and of “healthy trash that school breakfast and lunch are integral to a student’s education. This is why cans full of fruit” misses the point. Exposure to healthy and wholesome food takes time we believe that meals need to be healthy and tasty, why we believe meals need to be and has long-term value. Children should grow up knowing that fruits and vegetables accessible to all students and why we believe that mealtime needs to be viewed as part are indeed part of their meal experience. of the educational day. We challenge our teachers, our administrators, and our state and government The USFA strongly supports the vision of the first lady and backs the larger goals of officials to look at the school breakfast and lunch not just as a meal program but also the 2010 Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act. The recent and ongoing debate in Washington as what they were originally intended to be: enrichment programs. School meals on whether school food standards should be rolled back misses what we believe is enrich students’ developmental growth. They enrich healthy eating habits for life. More the whole point of important nutritional standards: to bring healthier food onto our importantly, they enrich student success in school. students’ plates and into their lives. And yes, we need to get them to eat it too. Our districts have had success in exposing students to and having them eat meals under these new standards. Our districts have developed creative menus and innovative ways of providing lean proteins, whole wheat, low-fat dairy, and fresh fruits and vegetables. We can and should demonstrate actionable leadership in this debate. These healthy and delicious meals need to be accessible to all students. And we need to get away from the attitude that school meals are only for the kids who can’t afford to bring lunch from home. The new approach to serving American children should mean offering free lunches to all students regardless of a family’s financial need. This would not only directly benefit the children and their families, but it would also cut through the current bureaucracy and enable American companies to sell more of their healthy products to our cafeterias. We need to acknowledge that this would benefit American workers in American companies providing food to American children in American schools. It is money invested in us. To that end, there should also be more funding allotted to the commodity food program. Doing so will allow districts to make their food-purchasing dollars go further page 13 Variety October 9, 2014 Donnie Darko: doesn’t live up to its hype By Shayan Ushani Staff Writer

Boring. Confusing. Monotonous. These are all words that come to mind when I recount my experience of watching this film. First revealed at the Sundance Film Festival, it was released in U.S. theaters in 2001. I cannot say that I feel bad that it had a box office of a mere $7.6 million, when even that is too gratuitous. The director and writer of Donnie Darko is Hollywood’s interesting character,

‘What I thought would be a movie similar to Memento, turned out to be an awkward teenage love story with a bad sci-fi twist.’

Richard Kelly. He has some hits and some misses, best known for his work on this movie and The Box, starring Cameron Diaz. The movie features Jake Gyllenhaal, whose character is the film’s title. Jena Malone plays Gretchen, who is Donnie’s love interest. Maggie Gyllenhaal (ironically) plays the role of Donnie’s sister, Elizabeth. It is a mystery thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat at first, until the credits run and you thank the only god you know that this garbage is over. The movie takes place in Virginia, and revolves around Donnie Darko. Donnie is not your typical teenager. He sees a mysterious figure in a rabbit costume, known as Frank. As the movie starts, Frank leads Donnie outside and tells him that the world will end in 28 days. When Donnie returns back to his home he notices police cars and a

What I thought would be a movie similar to Memento, turned out to be an awkward teenage love story with a bad sci-fi twist. I hate to call this movie sci-fi, because it will give the whole genre a bad name, but it touches more along the lines of spirituality and made up nonsense. At a time when the

Undeniably Jake is a better actor now, and played in great movies such as Source Code Donnie Darko movie poster (MCT Campus) and Zodiac. His sister Maggie has also played better roles, evident in The Dark Knight. Although the movie takes place in Virginia, it was filmed in California. With scenic wreckage.

Donnie is also causing trouble at school. At his private school he meets a new student, Gretchen, who is dealing with some issues of her own. Despite the two dealing with major internal conflicts, the two become This movie received 1 out of 5 romantically involved. The plot thickens as Donnie falls under heavier influence from Bulldogs Frank, and deals with things that are out of this world. The best thing to come out of this movie is Jake Gyllenhaal’s career. This movie helped put Gyllenhaal in the limelight, as the movie achieved cult status. Nothing else about this movie was enjoyable. With a running time of 133 minutes, I feel like I wasted over two hours of my time. The movie sent viewers a hastily written script, which made no sense. Kelly abuses his artistic license with bringing mystical factors into this movie, page 14 Variety October 9, 2014 Fall fun: apples, ‘The Judge’ has pumpkins, hayrides too much disorder and much more! in the court By Kiara Frias Contributing Writer This past week was the start of October and with that comes the beginning of fall activities, like apple picking or pumpkin carving. With Halloween at the end of the month, people are bound to get super excited about doing fall activities to get them in the spirit. I personally enjoy this time of the year because this is the time where every weekend my friends and I have something planned to do during the day. This time of the year is very spirited for my friends and me. This past weekend, my housemates and I all decided to go to Seven Cedars Farm.
