FOR
50 YEARS, the legend of Godzilla, the larger-than-life
creature that demolished Tokyo, has lived
on. But there’s more than meets the eye. The
latest issue of the Virginia Quarterly Review
reflects
on
Japanese
pop
culture and exposes the underlying
meaning of this classic monster movie. In its
most comprehensive issue yet, the VQR offers
an interesting mix, including low-budget filmmaking
in the 1960s,
analysis
of current events, an essay by Margaret Atwood
and the last story written by Pulitzer Prize-winner
Carol Shields. Full
story.

Come
payday, there’s no longer a need to wait
by the mailbox to get your pay statement. As
of Jan. 1, U.Va. implemented a new process of
distributing statements of earnings to employees
electronically, replacing paper statements that
are currently mailed to employees’ home
addresses. According to U.Va. Human Resources department, the new
self-service pay slip allows employees to access payroll data in
a more timely manner from anywhere that has Internet access, avoid
delivery to an incorrect address, and view and print previous online
statements. Full

The
University’s arts program is slated for
an extreme makeover. A new $91 million Center
for the Arts was approved last month by U.Va.’s
Board of Visitors. The new center will occupy
the current site of the Best Western Cavalier
Inn, located at the intersection of Emmet Street,
Ivy Road and University Avenue. The complex,
targeted for completion by year-end 2010, will
become home to the University Art Museum and
a performance center that will house a 1,600-seat
concert hall, more than double the capacity of
Old Cabell Hall auditorium. Full
story.
