I think the topic of student’s religious preferences was a good idea for an article. However, the front page article on Thursday, Feb. 8, was not a good example of precision journalism. First of all, the pie chart seperates Christians from Catholics. Catholics are Christians.

On Tuesday afternoon I was approached by a man who was courting the signatures of students like me for “preventing nonprofits…

Zach Austin, I know you may have had to fill in for Patrick Molnar on short notice, but you could at least start things off with less dodging and more facts. You completely neglected Rudy Giuliani as a Republican candidate.

Is it because he is a more liberal Republican and looked upon as the great New York mayor that was able to handle the mayhem of Sept.

An open letter to the performing arts center and University Police Department: I seriously dislike you both.

First, the PAC: I understand that you need parking, but I need it more than you. I pay over $1,400 each quarter to attend classes and I’m tired of old retirees with season passes and other schools visiting Cal Poly getting my parking spot.
