Course to address sexual assault
Paris FW draws inspiration from ’70s By GRACE HALIO Contributing Writer
For the final leg of Fashion Month, the industry flocked to Paris for the Fall/Winter 2015 shows. Fresh faces, masculine silhouettes and pastels dominated the runways. At Christian Dior, long and lean silhouettes in bold reds were juxtaposed with more frilly, pale pink Aline ensembles. Abstracted animal prints brought variety to the collection. Pencil skirts, long tunics and and a bright pantsuit brought just about everything into the mix. For makeup, Dior unveiled what was either an unblended smoky eye or a very, very thick liner. The avantgarde look popped against the colorful line and set models apart from those in other collections. With the exception of crazy eye shadow at Dior, models sported fresh faces and neutral lip colors. For many collections, hair was styled modestly — slicked-back buns, longside ponytails and neat straight hair let the clothes speak loudest. Highly detailed leather boots in

NYU launched its online sexual misconduct training course to combat and raise awareness about sexual assault on Tuesday. Students must complete the mandatory course by April 15. The course includes interactive quizzes and hypothetical scenarios to familiarize students with the concept of sexual misconduct, as well the actions, activities and situations they should avoid. The program will help explain how students can intervene and prevent an episode of sexual misconduct. The program was launched through Campus Clarity, a program that provides online training to schools across the country in accordance with the SaVE Act and Title IX. NYU spokesperson John Beckman said the university still needs to work on

‘Bates’ stars discuss third season By KAT FADRILAN Contributing Writer
Audiences can anticipate more twisted plot lines and exhilarating episodes in the third season of “Bates Motel,” the A&E prequel series to “Psycho.” In a conference call, WSN spoke with Vera Farmiga, who plays protagonist Norma Bates, Kerry Ehrin, the co-creator and executive producer, and Carlton Cuse, one of the show’s writers. During the interview, all three discussed what to expect this season and the new aspects of the show. Cuse spoke about how the characters progress toward the eventual outcome of “Bates Motel.” “This season, Norman will slide more significantly into that character of his mother,” Cuse said. “He becomes less able to modulate or less conscious of his decline. Because
of that, there are some serious consequences in his relationship with his mother. We explore that in a lot of different ways, and that’s really the journey of this season.” Elaborating on the growth and difference in her character this season, Farmiga explained that Norma Bates, Norman’s mother, is more protective than ever. “Norma is more tentative, more aware toward Norman’s ability,” Farmiga said. “At the beginning of this season, you’ll see Norma plays the cards closer to her chest.” While Farmiga said Norma, a single mother, shows a more protective side toward her son this season, she hinted that her character might show some vulnerability too. “Norma needs a man to trust,” Farmiga said. “There’s a couple of big potentials this year. May or may not be talking capital R romantic.”
Ehrin also spoke about character development, predominately relating to Norma. “Norma is in a stronger and more desperate place,” Ehrin said. “She turns to Dylan more and you’ll see how Norman grows jealous of that.” Dylan Massett (Max Thieriot) is Norma’s son from a marriage with her ex-husband John Massett. Norman’s father is Norma’s late husband Sam Bates. In addition to the electrifying journey of the new season, “Bates Motel” fans will be able to watch new characters and guest stars. Kenny Johnson continues as a recurring cast member Caleb Calhoun, Norma Bates’ brother and the biological father of her son, Dylan Massett. John raised Dylan as his own, unaware that Caleb was the biological father.
