High above the rest
Christopher Gunn With a plant of his pole in the deep powder, George Hjelte leapt down the spine of a ridge and in doing so triggered the beginnings of an avalanche. Behind him a thick wall of snow began to fall from the almost sheer face of the mountain, trailing him and almost engulfing him […]

New ethnic studies major addresses diversity issues
James Mellor Some at Cal Poly think the addition of an ethnic studies major means more than another Bachelor of Arts degree in the catalog. They believe the new major may help deal with many underlying issues on campus concerning race and diversity. “The purpose (in 1992, when the program was introduced) was to help […]

Organic Farm fertilizes futures, Cal Poly Eggs come sunny side up

It's called the soapbox, people!
Clearly, when you want to say someone was wrong to attack another, the best way to do it is to attack them. I was amazed at the sheer volume of responses to Jack Ingram’s column yesterday.

Can we say hypocrite?
Last week, National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley admitted that our pre-war intelligence about Iraq’s possession of weapons of mass destruction was wrong: “There was collective intelligence judgment – Turns out we were wrong.” Just last month, in a motivational speech, President Bush declared, “(Americans) are determined to deny weapons of mass destruction, including chemical and […]

Not all terrorists are Muslim
This is in response to Scott Nordholm’s letter “Everyone has the right to be wrong.” He explains “these Muslim terrorists need not a reason to attack America.” The article already fails to address other terrorists acts committed by NON-Muslims. “Terrorist – a radical who employs terror as a political weapon.” Nowhere does it say terrorist […]
