Miami University’s lecture series kicked off its 2021-22 programming at Hall Auditorium on Monday, October 4, with a lecture from Juju Chang, a co-anchor for ABC News’ Nightline and frequent contributor to Good Morning America.
“Minari,” the semi-autobiographical film from Korean American writer/director Lee Isaac Chung, follows the Korean American Yi family after they move from Los Angeles to a plot of land in rural Arkansas. It is made clear early on that the move was the family patriarch Jacob’s (played by Steven Yeun) idea. He dreams of starting his own farm, where he plans to grow Korean vegetables to sell to the increasing number of Korean immigrants coming to the United States.
Late last month, progressive New York congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez graced the cover of Vanity Fair magazine in a white double-breasted suit with powerful structured shoulders and gently exaggerated peak lapels. The pantsuit has been well within the typical congresswoman uniform, but this one was different. She was wearing it for fashion, not for work. It looked delicate and luxurious. A look at the designer’s website shows it retails for more than $1,000.
As Miami students, we’ve heard the same old song and dance about the classic Oxford restaurants a thousand times: Bagel and Deli has sandwiches with funny names; you can get battered, fried balls of mac and cheese at Mac and Joe’s, Skipper’s and Doughby’s; Steinkeller has a million imported German beers or whatever.

Life under quarantine has done treacherous things to our clothing rotations. Putting together an outfit that I couldn’t go to bed in just seems wrong to me right now, and even thinking about putting on a pair of jeans feels physically repulsive.
After a brief introduction, four dogs ran out onstage to blaring rock music, taking their places on four wooden crates in a line upstage.
At last week’s Vanity Fair Oscars after-party, Kim Kardashian-West arrived in a breathtaking dress, designed by the late Lee Alexander McQueen for his spring/summer 2003 collection.
The cold, rainy streets of Oxford were empty last Saturday afternoon, but inside You’re Fired it was busy, welcoming and warm. Oxford families and friends stopped in to unwind and paint pottery together over Thanksgiving break.
College is essentially a trick-or-treat for free t-shirts.
Runway shows this past fashion month were riddled with references to the climate crisis, with the buzzword “sustainability” paraded down almost every catwalk.
