(10/01/14 11:05pm)

The office of residential life received around 3,740 housing requests for fall term, requiring spaces in Cutter-Shabazz Hall, Alpha Chi Alpha fraternity, Delta Delta Delta sorority and the Chinese Language House to convert into bedrooms.

Smith: The Magic of Marvel

(09/30/14 10:31pm)

Since its reinvention with the 2008 release of “Iron Man,” it seems that Marvel Studios can do no wrong. It has released nine more live action movies, every single one of which has earned more than $250 million dollars. “The Avengers” (2012) and “Iron Man 3” (2013) each earned over $1 billion worldwide. In the comic book world, Marvel Studios blows DC Comics, its main competition, out of the water. Since 2008, under the auspices of either Warner Brothers, Legendary Pictures or Syncopy Inc., only five films based on DC characters have been made — one of which, “The Green Lantern” (2011), was a critical and financial disaster. With many of these Marvel Studios films making more money in a weekend than India needed to put a probe on Mars, many inside and outside of Hollywood are left wondering — what is Marvel’s secret?
