While reading Mr. Ingram’s article on the FDA 4/20 decision, I realized that he must not be very well informed. So I wondered, who picked this guy to represent the Cal Poly liberal perspective? My liberal-sided friends, we really need someone to explain to us the liberal viewpoint, instead of spewing out unbacked opinions with […]

I have had the pleasure of living behind a house full of five girls for the last year. For the most part, it has been a great experience and the underlying reason for this great experience has been attributed to one person in particular, that person is Anne Giapapas. Giapapas is precisely the type of […]

I’m supporting Todd Maki for ASI president because he’s made a commitment to students for the past three years that exemplifies his dedication to the cause of student advocacy. Todd hasn’t waited for the better part of four years to make a difference on campus. Instead, he’s taken his passion for student succession and made […]

Yes, the Cal Poly Democrats and Cal Poly College Republicans finally agree on something. We both whole-heartedly endorse Todd Maki for ASI president. Only someone like Todd could bring our two clubs together. We are voting Todd because … he has been working for Cal Poly students for the last three years. Few people on […]

In my involvement as a leader in a number of organizations on this campus, I have never come across anyone more qualified to be ASI president than Todd Maki. When I first joined ASI two years ago, I believed ASI only served its own self-interest and was ineffective at serving student needs. I was flat […]

The cookie cutter response as to why you should vote for Todd Maki for ASI President is experience. My reasoning has to do with the byproducts of experience, knowledge and connections. Todd knows the position, it’s responsibilities, it’s role in the organization and the university, as well as the proper channels to influence change. Todd […]

With the upcoming elections this week, I believe it is important for students to understand what they will be voting for. When it comes to deciding who will be our next ASI president, we need to choose the person who will be the most qualified to be our leader. When electing a president, we should […]

After being exposed for my shopping spree agenda I had to think of new legitimate reasons why I am running for ASI president. We’ve lost Mardi Gras, Wildflower might never be the same, Safe Ride is gone and Oracle doesn’t work. If you vote for the same people with the same stale perspective, then you […]

In my four years at Cal Poly, I have never had a compelling enough reason to write to the Mustang Daily opinion section. However, it looks like I will not be graduating without having written at least one letter since David Bailey is running for the College of Science and Mathematics Board of Directors position. […]

Paris Hilton, Donald Trump or Michael Jackson? I was embarrassed by Tylor Middlestadt’s “ridiculous” argument in the Mustang Daily regarding this week’s ASI presidential election. Anne Giapapas is much prettier than Paris Hilton and the only thing Todd Maki has in common with Donald Trump is a bad haircut. The Toddler Makistadt’s of ASI are […]

I think every reasonable college student would agree that progress is better than moving backwards. In our educational studies we want to advance in knowledge, we want to become promoted at work and we desire to grow in our relationships with friends and significant others. This recent epiphany made my decision for ASI President very […]
