The Daily Campus - Focus

Focus

The Focus Department covers performances, entertainment and style on campus. It regularly features reviews of on campus events, such as concerts, plays and guest lectures. The Focus Department is credentialed for all on-campus events, including performances at von der Mehden Recital Hall and Jorgensen Center for the Performing Arts. It also covers the annual Spring Weekend concert, held at Gampel Pavilion, and has featured artists such as Kendrick Lamar and Steve Aoki in 2013, Wiz Khalifa in 2012 and others including Busta Rhymes, Guster, O.A.R., 50 Cent and Nas in recent years. Focus regularly includes features and weekly columns about matters of interest to students such as sexual health, relationships, academics, employment, entertainment and more.

Each day of the week, page 8 is a "Focus on" page with a set theme: television, movies, video games, music and lifestyle. Each day the column, reviews, features and sidebar elements on page 8 (often carrying over to page 9) fit that theme. These sidebar elements include a list of upcoming shows (music), highest ranked video games (video games), most watched shows (television) and upcoming releases (movies), as well as a staff-chosen show, album, movie, video game or app of the week.

Focus is on the front of the second section of The Daily Campus. It shares the same section as Sports, which starts on the back page. The first three pages of Focus are almost always in full color.

Famous quotes containing the word focus:

    If your child is going to develop a healthy personality with the capacity to remain intact and grow, she must learn how to test reality, regulate her impulses, stabilize her moods, integrate her feelings and actions, focus her concentration and plan.
    Stanley I. Greenspan (20th century)

    Let us be aware that while they preach the supremacy of the state, declare its omnipotence over individual man, and predict its eventual domination of all peoples of the earth—they are the focus of evil in the modern world.
    Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)

    If we focus exclusively on teaching our children to read, write, spell, and count in their first years of life, we turn our homes into extensions of school and turn bringing up a child into an exercise in curriculum development. We should be parents first and teachers of academic skills second.
    Neil Kurshan (20th century)
