'The OC
kicks off a
predictable
second year
Continuing family fights
and new faces promise
excitement to avid fans
BY DAHVI FISCHER
PULSE REPORTER
For most people, the end of the
school year can pose many questions
and concerns. Will you survive going
home for the summer? Will you be
able to get a summer job? Where are
you going to live next fall? For avid
“OC” watchers, however, such end
of-year questions and concerns run
much deeper.
The show’s May 5 season finale
gave viewers a summer, and then
some, to contemplate many impor
tant issues. How the hell is Seth going

Nyburg: Diva films create a
diversion from mainstream
Continued from page 5
the letter “J” and ends with “ack
shit.”
This isn’t to say that there
aren’t worthwhile activities here
on campus. That’s not the prob
lem. What the problem is that, as
students, we are not taking an ac
tive role in the forward motion of
our culture. Fortunately, this is
Eugene and there are other op
tions. I get sick of hearing people
say there isn’t anything to do in
this town. They never realize that
by saying that they are marking
themselves as either hopelessly
self-absorbed, laughably ignorant
of their surroundings or both. I
guess for some people it’s not fun
unless it involves mixing Ecstasy
and Viagra before unleashing
their carnal desires upon whatev
er piece of living room furniture
isn’t currently occupied.
One alternative to the lack of
interesting films here on campus
is the Odd Sunday Film Seminar
at the Diva (Downtown Initiative
for the Visual Arts) on the corner
of Broadway and Olive. On the
first and third Sunday of every
month, the free event involves
watching and discussing films
that fall outside the scope of the
mainstream. Organizations like
the Diva offer opportunities for
people to get involved in the arts
in a meaningful and productive
way. It’s the sort of thing I have
been unable to find on campus.
By supporting events such as
this, you might get the idea that I
have something against main
stream culture. Far from it. But
there should be a balance. The
mainstream is called the main
stream because it’s what is popu
lar and easily accessible, but ac
cessibility often comes at the
price of other qualities such as in
telligence and creativity. This is
why the vanguard is so impor
tant, but college campuses in
America seem to have lost touch
with the cutting edge. Universi
ties, at least this university, don’t
seem interested in fostering that
sense of exploration or experi
mentation in the events they pro
mote. Of course I would love to
be proved wrong, and will devote
space in my next column to any
thing anyone out there feels will
do exactly that.
