As you all well know, this is the last edition for the Lucky Season 13. Ritz is going out with a bang, as all of its writers have written a piece this last and final week. I would like to thank all of the staff that have worked with the Ritz section this year. Your loyalty and hard work is very much appreciated. Hats off to Rachel, our boss. Your leadership and dedication will take you far! We will miss you. I'd like to salute all of our troops who are helping in one way or another with the efforts to get rid of tyranny and terrorism. Hope you come home soon and safely. On behalf of Whim and the Ritz section, we wish you a safe and fun spring and summer! We'll see you in the fall! Peace, Brandon

Graphic By: Andrew Kinback Shaun's Final Summer Movie Preview   Shaun Corley | Staff Writer There are many hallowed traditions here at Whim: the April Fool's edition, the kick-butt parties, and the tendency to force people out of their pants at gunpoint (just kidding about those first two). Another tradition is Shaun's movie previews, which he does before each movie season sets upon us. Click here to see what's in store for you at the theatre this summer!

Well, come on down to Captain Spaulding's museum of Murders and Madmen and don't forget to pick up some of my fried chicken! This is how the rollercoaster "House of 1000 Corpses" begins, and from that point on the horror never ends. Director Rob Zombie has dropped a bloody masterpiece on Hollywood. Read on if you dare.

Graphic By: Andrew Kinback You May Have Missed It   Zac Martin | Copy Editor Rise Against, from Chicago, Ill., is trying to prove a point that I have made several times. Chi-Town gives birth to outstanding punk rock. The band's latest offering, "Revolution Per Minute," could possibly be the beginning of an outstanding new wave in the worlds of hardcore and punk.

Graphic By: Andrew Kinback Scratch My Itch Please   Brandon Faust | Ritz Section Manager Radford University certainly had an entertaining two days this past weekend. On Saturday, everyone enjoyed the fun in the sun at the Quad Fest. The Earth Day Festival was on Sunday and, while it went on all day, I was only able to catch the very end of it. To my enjoyment though, I was able catch Faust and Shortee on the wheels of steel.
