Polls misleading and confusing
Your poll on Jurassic Park IV (although the responses appear to be written in college sarcasm), was very misleading. Being a father of a 10 year old who is very much a dinosaur/monster fanatic, we watch the movies often. We just viewed the first installment Friday night.
I whole-heartedly agree with Ms. Pearson and the others who have voiced their support for dating … to a point.
To all the guys out there, man up and tell a girl you like her instead of going the wimp’s way and leaving it for her to figure out.
And girls, stop with the vague hints and clues; if the guy you like won’t ask you out, do it yourself.
In response to Matt Bushman’s political commentary, “You can’t hug your children with nuclear arms”:
Iraq was not the biggest threat to our nation’s security, as we’ve known for over two years that Saddam Hussein did not have any weapons of mass destruction.
Anyone else think the bike regulations on this campus are absolutely ridiculous? I’m glad I’m doing favors for several factions (myself, my bank account, the environment, the school, bus riders, everyone else who still insists on driving to campus…), and University Police Department thanks me by pulling me over on my way to class (and potentially fining me $100 in the future) because I’m riding my bike in a “Walk Your Bike” zone.
I never thought I would be writing a letter thanking the police, especially not the University Police after the obscene number of parking tickets I have accumulated over the years. Nevertheless, here it is: a thank you note. Today, I was fortunate enough to witness two of Cal Poly’s finest men in blue giving tickets to a whole line of bikers who had been caught doing something illegal.
There was a short article in the Oct. 4 Cal Poly Report announcing that Mustang Graphics (which includes Pony Prints in the library) will be closed next month. This was shocking news.
As a staff member in an academic department, I’ve utilized the services of Mustang Graphics for many years.
Well, it looks like Matt Bushman is starting off this year (You can’t hug your children with nuclear arms, Oct. 11, 2006) the way he ended last year, spouting only the facts that suit his theories and ignoring the others.
Let’s see where to start. First off, as far as North Korea goes, blaming Clinton and Carter is a bit interesting, considering that the Democrats’ 12 years in office over this time pale next to the Republicans’ 18 years in office since 1976.
As I left mustang stadium on Saturday night, I felt a little ashamed to call myself a Mustang. Throughout the entire game, I heard the guy in front of me yelling “rip his f—ing head off” and others yelling “Davis you suck, go home Davis!”
I ask myself, is this what we want others to think of when they hear Cal Poly football? Sitting around me were kids as young as 6 and parents as old as 75, and throughout the entire game they were subject to the unsportsmanlike conduct of numerous college kids.
Welcome back to another year Letters to the Editor! Here, even the lowliest freshman’s opinion can be heard among students who enjoy crossword puzzles and Sudoku.

Cal Poly football is big this season. Ranked No. 5 in Division I-AA, the Mustangs have a 5-1 record and students are eager to show their school spirit.
Saturday night marked the 28th annual Horseshoe Classic rivalry game between UC Davis and Cal Poly. An abundance of students in green shirts and painted faces anxiously waited – in line that is.
Did you read the article on Thursday about city buses? Cal poly set up another five-year contract for over a million dollars which will allow us to ride for free. I was disappointed the article didn’t mention the inadequacies of the bus system. Here’s my dilemma.
