On Friday, the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs ended Mosaic Week with Spirit Fest, offering students of all ethnicities a chance to enjoy the Commons Plaza filled with music, festivities and fun. Beverly Walker, assistant director of OMSA, said this weeklong celebration has been going on annually for nearly 15 years.
Steve Astra, also known as Knifework, played his first show in Richmond on Saturday night at Plant Zero in Artspace. Astra was the only solo artist at the event that hosted local acts such as Obit, At the Stars and Ones and Zeros.

Last semester, The Commonwealth Times spoke to Tucker Max, one of the most free-spirited-albeit-loathsome men on the Internet. His ongoing pursuit for sex and booze has earned him infamy on the Web, and his stories of misogyny are unique, standing out on the backdrop of millions of everyday users.
Students walking past the Commons Plaza on Wednesday evening might have been startled by all the commotion.

For the second consecutive year, VCU welcomed back DeLuca for yet another mind-bending, hilarious performance.
