Show MONDAY • MARCH 26 • 2007 B4 Movie review Department highlight UVSC's school of Business means business Erik Frederickson Life Writer rot-tentomatoes.com Mark Walhberg, who once had an Oscar in his sights Missing the mark Shooter offers nothing new alone, Swagger is asked by a secret government organization to help catch an assassin who's planning on taking out the president from over a mile away. Being intrigued, and in love with the art of sniping. Swagger can't refuse putting his expertise to work again by scoping out every possible scenario. Once he has scoped out the area and is sure that he knows where the assassination attempt will take place, Swagger helps the officials plan the anti-terrorist counterattack. In the final, intense moment when the terrorist shooter could be caught. Swagger linds that the shot has been taken and that the whole project was a set-up to put the blame on him. With every state and government official looking Luke Hickman Life Editor Recently, many Oscar nominees have followed up their acclaimed roles with horrendous cinematic trash. Here are examples: Jaime Foxx and Stealth, Eddie Murphy and Norbit. Matt Dillon and Herbie Fully Loaded, Charlize Thcron and Aeon Flux. Though not nearly as bad as these examples, still failing victim to this trend after his scene-stealing performance in The Departed is Mark Wahlberg with Shooter. In Shooter, Wahlberg plays Bob Lee Swagger, an ex-super-sniper who's bitter after the government left him and his partner for dead in an illegal overseas operation. Only three years after returning home alive, and for him. Swagger must now evade the police while trying to prove his innocence. Coming from Antoine Fuqua, director of Training Day, and with staring potential like Wahlberg, Shooter looked promising. But after seeing its poor attempt at being a well written and fresh action flick, it's now that I'm reminded of Fuqua's last flop with potential, King Arthur, and I'm asking myself, 'What did you really expect?' It only takes a few minutes into the movie1 to realize that you've made a mistake by choosing Shooter over seeing 300 for the third time. Every L5 minutes, Shooter mirrors a different action movie, almost picture for picture. It starts off with the feel of one of Charles See SHOOTER-B2 Dillon Story is a junior studying Business Management at UVSC's School of Business. He had this to say about his experience thus far: "The upper-level courses at UVSC's School of Business are not only useful in my future career, but they are also applicable in my daily life." UVSC's School of Business has been well respected for some time. But just recently, in December 2006, our School of Business was given international accreditation from The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. AACSB international is the highest, most demanding accreditation for business schools. Only one-third of the business schools in the United States are accredited. Schools in the AACSB deal with students in search of the finest education and companies looking for top-notch talent. In July 2006, Stanley Earl Jenne became the dean of our School of Business. Dean Jenne taught at the University of Illinois and Weber State University United E Miss UVSC PAGEANT THURSDAY, MARCH 29,2007 and received his doctorate in Accountancy from University of Illinois. He was the chair of accounting and finance at the University of Montana before joining the faculty of UVSC. Jenne said this about the business schools progress of late: "The School of Business is an exciting place to be right now; we have achieved a lot, recently, and have excellent opportunities ahead of us." Jenne also believes that "the quality of education that a student can receive at UVSC ... is as good as anywhere." UVSC not only fits into the upper echelon of business schools, but it also has some unique programs that other schools lack: One such program is Hospitality Management, a program that deals with the hotel industry or resorts. Another program is Entrepreneurship, which teaches ways to start your own business and what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur. When Jenne was asked the question, "Why should, a student choose UVSC's School of Business over a major university?" he said, "We offer good, solid pro- grams with qualified faculty. We also can give the students more personal attention and can cater a bit more to the students' needs." UVSC's School of Business has a wide range of courses to choose from, including Accounting, Business Management, ROTC and Criminal Justice. Once UVSC is officially a university, our School of Business will start to provide MBA courses as well. All of the hard work in the Business Department is paying off for senior Jack Mangum. He will graduate at the end of this semester with a bachelor's degree in Business Management, with an emphasis in banking and finance. In June of 2004, Jack began working at a bank as a teller, then transferred to new accounts, shortly thereafter he became a loan processor, and he is currently applying to be a credit analyst. Jack had this to say about the skills he has gained during his experience at UVSC's School of Business: "The knowledge I have gained has given me a top-notch, competitive edge that is not being overlooked in the market." a Airlines • go!
