sheila sobchik The large blue road sign read: “NEXT SERVICES 82 MILES,” a warning to most motorists to avoid the barren road for fear of no gas; instead we welcomed the heavenly message with a full tank of fuel and an ear-to-ear grin inside our helmets. The road swept left and then broke right like […]

Students apathetic toward IRA fee proposal
The hundreds of red “Vote Yes” posters plastering the walls throughout campus in last year’s aggressive ASI fee increase proposal prompted over 5,000 students to vote. The spark that ignited several thousand to vote last year is lacking in this year’s equally important IRA (Instructionally Related Activities) fee increase referendum that will take place on […]

Get over it
All right, now that they’ve all had their fun being completely belligerent to nonbelievers around the world, I think it’s time for Muslims to get over it. Just because somebody insults the founder of their religion is no reason for the world’s Muslims to call for the beheading of the satirical cartoonist who was trying […]

There's no need for senseless ranting in letters
I have observed a disturbing trend in the Mustang Daily over the course of the last few weeks. Several hot-button issues have made themselves the center of attention. Be it the fake Christian rant, the evolution debate or any of the other debates which have raged in the letter to the editor. The problem is […]

Thank you Matt Fritch
I would just like to say thank you from those of us who read these letters to the editor for their tragic humor. I am sure that God appreciates, as I do, that he is now free from the burden of judging whether or not Morgan Elam’s beliefs are correct. You are a credit to […]

Here is that same letter minus the satire and fun (my apologies):
Electing religious leaders to our greater society’s posts is a clear affront to the public’s personal freedoms. This truth appears to be public understanding, even among religious Americans. Even though it could be done we should not present the harbingers of our own personal beliefs into public politics where they would undoubtedly press it unfairly […]

Some thoughts about the faulty e-mail
Thank you Russell, for saying what everyone else was thinking but afraid to say. I only have two things wrong with what you wrote in your letter to the editor “Cal Poly’s faulty e-mail system is unacceptable” dated Feb. 10, 2006. Tim Kerns inherited the Oracle Collaboration Suite (OCS) fiasco and is not directly responsible […]

Valentine's Daze
Joe Sargent My stomach hurts, my head is aching and I really want a greasy burger. This was me the morning after Valentine’s Day. But let me fill you in on all the details that led to my post-Valentine’s Day hangover. On the most romantic holiday of the year, I decided to hang out with […]

PAC welcomes orchestra, hurricane victims
Holly Burke Students and members of the community alike often take the facilities Cal Poly offers for granted. The Foundation for the Performing Arts Center, San Luis Obispo Symphony and San Luis Obispo Mozart Festival will host a benefit concert on Saturday for the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra (LPO), which was uprooted by Hurricane Katrina. The […]

Bikes, Mardi Gras and police tape
Chris Gunn What? A huge, world-class bike race is coming to San Luis Obispo? I know it’s shocking but it is also true. The Tour De California, arguably the largest bike race on the West Coast, will finish its fourth stage in downtown SLO on Thursday, Feb. 23. Awesome. Finally SLO will have some well-earned […]

My Breast Guess about Mardi Gras
Daniel Gingras My first Mardi Gras here at Cal Poly was an unforgettable one. I spent the week prior to “Fat Tuesday” loitering in the dark corners of Sierra Madre’s walkways, peddling an assortment of cheap Chinese-made beads to would-be boob-beholders, and fleeing to the bushes whenever UPD cars were in sight. Come February 28th, […]
