Brian Eller,
Your level of ignorance only pales in comparision to your selfishness. The vast majority of homeless are mentally ill. They are afflicted with disorders that require medical care, medication and often hospitalization. They aren’t capable of “getting a job.
Shameful – that is the only way to describe Mr. Eller’s soulless ramblings about how he plans on helping the homeless. Yelling “Get a job!” from your car? How about offering them help or at least treating them like a human being.
Many of the homeless have mental disabilities that alienate them from the rest of the world.
The hookah article (Dec. 6) had little real information and was extremely misleading. The majority of Shisha (tobacco) used in hookah is imported from the Middle East. Their countries of origine often require tar, nicotine and carbon monoxide content to be listed on the package.
It seems that both of the coffee vending machines on campus – in Kennedy Library and The Park – are currently “out of order.” (If there are others, please be so kind as to point me in their direction.)
This is a plea on behalf of us Cal Poly students who crave that oh-so-delicious vending machine coffee, and who can’t afford it at Julian’s.
It’s appalling that Michael Macedo would write an entire letter, based entirely on his own conclusions, completely void of facts and intellectual thought.
As a personal friend of Ryan West I can tell you that there was at least one witness, who stated that Ryan was in fact, not lying on the train tracks passed out, rather he was walking.
I read with much interest the lead article in the Nov. 30 Mustang Daily, which wrung hands and gnashed teeth, about safety responsibility for students trespassing on private property when walking along or crossing the railroad tracks.
The Union Pacific Co.
Mustang Daily, thank you so much for your piece on Campus Crusade for Christ. I am grateful, because it hadn’t actually sunk in that there was any sort of Christian group on campus until you had mentioned it 30 or 40 times.
I know there is no diversity on campus, but please, just once, couldn’t you challenge your writers to find something original in our little eggshell sea? From my understanding, nothing that newsworthy has happened with Christians since the death of the last pope.
I am writing to inform our campus and larger community of the impressive steps that Cal Poly has taken to be the Countys lead producer of renewable energy. This past summer, a 135kW array of solar photovoltaic energy panels were installed on the roof of Engineering West.
As freshmen with no car, we are forced to eat the selection of foods that the campus provides. Although we are capable of going downtown to find better quality food, time is definitely a factor. Many students have conflict with their class hours and restaurant hours.
I am writing in response to the Nov. 30 article “How safe are the tracks you walk on?” After I had finished reading this article, I was dumbfounded at all the propositions being made in wake of the recent accident involving Ryan West.
The article starts out with a recap of the very vague circumstances of the accident and then moves on to why we need to have new safety installments around the tracks and why the cost should be pinned on Union Pacific Railroad Co.
Matt Bushman, of course the death toll is not the only measure of success in Iraq. But when there is no clear measure of success, the war becomes easy to criticize because of issues like war profiteering, loss of U.S. credibility, loss of liberty and the creation of more terrorists.
