1 week ago | dailycampus.com | Dan Stark

Another turbulent year at the University of Connecticut has ended. Between administrative email leaks, a national championship basketball game and some uncertainty on the future of higher education, The Daily Campus has weathered it all. And of course, in every issue of the paper, we’ve had the Life section to add some much-needed fondness and student perspective. If there’s anything Life can be most proud of this year, it’s our writers.
Senior Column: Color my life with the chaos of trouble

1 week ago | dailycampus.com | Naiiya Patel

My favorite senior columns start with a reflection on joining The Daily Campus. Although my story is rather simple, I love it. I never joined The Daily Campus with huge aspirations. I joined because it simply felt right. I never wrote more than once a week and often took large gaps between articles. I was and still am a campus correspondent.

Jorgensen’s roles throughout the years

2 weeks ago | dailycampus.com | Karla Perez

From hosting Grammy winners to drag shows; from holding club performances to commencement ceremonies; from being a packed theater to becoming a substitute lecture hall, the Jorgensen Center for the Performing Arts has played many roles since its debut in 1955. Before the theater, audiences had to cram in the unaesthetic confines of Hawley Armory and the Student Union ballrooms for entertainment. Performers didn’t have access to proper lighting equipment or sound amplification.
UConn Police Dogs: Spending a day in Officer Jazmine’s paws

2 weeks ago | dailycampus.com | Karla Perez

Officer Jazmine, the newest facility dog at the University of Connecticut’s Police Department, was as cool and calm as can be when we met. Most dogs’ first instinct is to investigate their visitors, to go sniff and circle around the stranger. But Jazmine didn’t do any of that. I wasn’t entirely sure she even saw me until I noticed her rapidly wagging tail. “Hi Til — I mean, hi Jazmine!” I exclaimed with slight embarrassment. Two seconds in and I had already mistaken the new recruit for her sister.

Split Record Review: ‘The Life of Pablo’ part 2

2 weeks ago | dailycampus.com | Ky'Lynn Monts

“The Life of Pablo” excels in letting features shine. From Swizz Beatz’s manic ad-libbing at the end of “Famous,” the Weeknd on “FML” and Sampha’s killer send-off with “Saint Pablo,” many of the album’s greatest moments are Ye-less. The gospel-influenced “Ultralight Beam” and “Father Stretch My Hands, Pt. 1” need no glazing as they’re obvious highlights. So is the kick drum-heavy “Highlights” with a memorable bridge from singer El DeBarge.

After months of cold temperatures and brutal winds, it finally feels like spring has sprung, Huskies! There’s been a heat wave here at the University of Connecticut this week, with many students opting to sit outside as they’re finishing papers and studying for upcoming final exams.
