Chris Gunn On Monday, I was at Pismo surfing just south of the pier in what turned out to be some exceptionally nice waves. They were clean, glassy, three to five feet, semi powerful and amazing for Pismo. On this particular day there were a large number of guys out, and most of them were […]

Rancer's Recipes
Emily Rancer While I do have a passion for copy editing the Mustang Daily, I also love to cook. In fact, I cook for 100 people at least once a month for Hillel’s Shabbat dinners (that’s the Jewish club at Cal Poly). So I guess you could say I’m a Jewish mother in training who’s […]

Frankly Speaking 10-12-05
I nearly shed a tear Tuesday night as the Yankees were banished from the 2005 Major League Baseball playoffs. Derek Jeter, the Yankees poster-boy shortstop who is the master of making playoff opponents grimace with his clutch performances, will be doing some off season soul searching to figure what went wrong. Randy Johnson, a player […]

From the big screen to the not so big screen
Ryan Chartrand You’ve most likely read a book that quenched your thirst for life so much that you went and saw its film adaptation only to be disappointed.

Stop popping your collar or I will take matters into my own hands
I have a huge problem, and unfortunately it is with my roommate. Let us just refer to him as “Ben,” so that we can protect the accused. As of late, Ben has been walking around with an unusual bounce in his step, and sway in his hips; but why? It is because of his newfound […]

Greek facts misconstrued
I hate to be one that keeps adding to how distorted Mr. Kirkish’s views are on the greek system, but I feel another low was hit in the arguments. While required to do a philanthropy, it means more to us than feeding the homeless. We actually had TWO philanthropies by choice last year: one winning […]
