UPDATE: DEADLINE EXTENDED TO MIDNIGHT!
The UHall Resource Center lends out DVDs to residents of the building. Over the summer, your RAs looked over the selection of films that are currently available and made suggestions about DVDs that should be added to the library. (The “Rentals” link above lists DVDs, video games, and board games that are available at the front desk.)
The UHall Faculty Fellows want to know which of these films appeal to you the most. We will buy your top FIVE choices. And two lucky respondents will each receive …

Hi Uhallers! Here are a few more cool events that you might want to check out this weekend…in between your finals prep of course.

Wanna go see a $2 movie? You’re probably thinking of poorly recorded bootleg DVDs or perhaps a small neighborhood theater that shows only one old movie at a time. But, I’m talking about recently films that have just stopped playing in theaters—movies that are box office successes and have great reviews. I’m talking about NYU’s Program Board which is a “student-run organization dedicated to providing affordable, worthwhile entertainment and coordinating special events for the entire NYU community.” One of the great things that NYU Program Board …

I have recently been pondering the source of self confidence in the people around me. About a week ago, I was having day and I kept thinking, why me? I was disappointed in myself for making a few grammatical errors in a paper I had just turned in. I was also embarrassed. How could I have made such small mistakes? How come I didn’t notice the grammatical errors before? I criminalized myself for not achieved perfect success. I remember feeling dissatisfied with myself at …

This Sunday, FFIR Patsy Cooper and I took a group of students to see Stephen Daldry’s “The Reader,” which has been nominated for Best Picture. Kate Winslet has been nominated for her role in the movie, playing a woman named Hanna, who has two life-altering secrets.

I read through the entire series in the span of about four days and then immediately re-read them. I was amazed by my obsession, however, because even as I read faster and faster to find out …

FOURTH FLOOR FOODIES PRESENT . . .
From the kitchen of Fourth Floor Foodie Kate Woska
Skillet Lasagna
Kate and her roommates eat dinner together every Monday night, each one taking a turn at working her magic on the stove. This recipe for lasagna is easy to cook up in U-Hall and tastes as good as if it were stewing all day in your mother’s fully stocked kitchen. Plus it serves 5 people, so there’s sometimes enough left over for lunch the next day!
2 (14.5 oz) cans tomatoes with basil, garlic, …

FOURTH FLOOR FOODIES PRESENT . . .
By Foodie Sheila Lynch
These delicious babies are better than your average cupcake or muffin because they are both healthier and more moist. It’s just a slight variation of the recipe listed on the back of your chocolate cake mix box. But you can cut out the eggs and the oil. People will be impressed by your culinary skills, even though it’s super easy. Pumpkin lovers will rave over your ingenius use of pumpkin, and those adverse to the vegetable will …
