I also have to address the inability of the English majors on this campus to recognize Ryan Moriarty as what he is and for what he is doing. As a fellow physics major, I am saddened by your inability to see other possibilities. My first thought is that perhaps Ryan Moriarty’s opinions are just too far out there.

Letters: “Globalists trying to save the world” and other letters
Colin McKim, are you really that dense? Do you honestly believe there is a secret organization of so-called “globalists” that are attempting to infiltrate …
Letter to the editor: McElroy’s election transparency
Your campaign is the most visible on campus, with sandwich boards, T-shirts, posters and you dressed up to the nines. It takes some real legal tender to render such splendor. Will you post your finances on your Web site
An simple act of kindness
On Wednesday, as I was sitting down to enjoy a quick lunch in the atrium of the Avenue, a black bird flew straight into the tall glass pane right next to my table. It stuck the glass with a loud thud and fell straight to the ground.
Forest clear-cutting column very misleading
The column that was recently printed about forest clear-cutting may have been misleading to many of your readers. First: Correct, Canada is a major supplier of lumber to the United States.
Living by Bible’s word is easier said than done
Andrew, you wrote a letter claiming that “The Bible, God’s word, is not some trend like Vans slip-ons; it is immutable.” If that is unfailingly true, I hope you intend to follow all of the rules. I believe there are quite a few (more than just 10 commandments), and you may find some of them […]
Guest column misunderstood college based fee issues
In response to “CLA Students shouldn’t have to foot the bill” by Lauren Stupek: Based on the number of things that have seemingly gone “unaddressed,” it seems that you just aren’t paying attention to the situation. Yes, Baker makes a lot of money but the $328,000 (plus housing and other benefits) he earned last year […]
Result of voting no will be less access to classes you need
Crappy priority registrations. Ever been through one of them? You e-mail the professor to explain your situation and you beg and plead that you need this class in order to move on to the next series within your expected graduation schedule. And this is just seven weeks before the next quarter starts. Still, there you […]
Don’t expect taxpayer support if you can’t keep campus clean
On Sunday, March 1, I rode my bicycle up through the Cal Poly campus. I was discouraged, if not affronted, when I observed trash strewn about the campus, particularly on the lower-north side of the architecture building (the art center area). Cal Poly students, faculty and administration: if you wish to ease operating costs and […]
There’s more to gender discrimination in sports than dunks
Although Alisha Axsom’s points regarding the popularity of women’s sports are persuasive and well executed, she leaves out an important caveat from her testosterone theory. Men’s sports, mainly baseball, football and basketball, draw their popularity from history. One hundred years ago, when men’s sports achieved national notariety, women’s sports (and human rights for the matter) […]
Libertarian column was simplistic and offensive
In response to Jeremy Hicks’ column “Stimulus lures with promise of instant gratification”: I found this column offensive, as well as replete with fallacious arguments and devoid of any logical arguments. As an appeal to emotions, however, it is outstanding. To refer to people, usually women and children, who find themselves in unfortunate circumstances and […]
