Only in a Tim Burton film could witches, giants, war, a utopian society, conjoined twins, door-to-door salesmen, circus folk, a missing poet, robbery and a dying man all occupy the same space without being confusing, nonsensical or out of the ordinary. "Big Fish," Burton's long-awaited, highly touted dramedy, is a story as grand as any of those spat out by its title character and twice as appealing. This is imaginative storytelling as only Burton could do, and the end result is a tall tale mixed with family melodrama that entices wonder and disbelief.

As if a broken foot isn't difficult enough for a student trying to get around campus, 3 inches of snow doesn't make it any easier. English junior Lindsay Kosmala broke her foot last Saturday and spent Wednesday wrestling with her crutches on the snowy sidewalks. "Having to get books and go to class with a broken foot in a snowstorm is way more than I wanted to do in the first week of school," she said.
