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 […]

This is in response to Humza Chowdhry’s article “Zionism and the Ongoing Israel Terrorism” He mentions “it’s disappointing to find anyone defending Israel’s violation of UN resolutions and World Court rulings.” It is apparent that there seems to be a many number of people including some of his critics that support the violations as well […]

It seems that every year Jay Devore writes to the paper to comment on expensive textbooks. As always, Devore puts the blame on used copies of books driving the prices of new books up. What Devore fails to mention is that professors have every option to assign inexpensive alternatives to “required” books that many students […]

Recently, Humza Chowdhry wrote a guest commentary in the Mustang Daily lambasting Zionism. Before enumerating some of the good things that Hamas does, he assured his readers that “Jewish people aren’t the problem; Zionism is.” I would like to invite Mustang Daily readers to read what Hamas actually stands for by reading their charter. You […]

Every year we pay more money for our education, and every year they make more cutbacks; degrading the quality of education we receive. I think the next time we decide to make cutbacks, we should disband the University Police Department. It is possible that the revenue they bring in outweighs their costs, but that revenue […]

In the commentary Monday concerning the new movie about the heroic efforts of Americans to deter Islamic extremists from flying a plane into a building, Ms. Marschall made it seem that any American who wants to relive the “tragedy” is a bloodthirsty savage. What she did not tell you, unfortunately, is that many of the […]

Finally an election is coming our way unlike the United States government, where individuals are not forced to vote between the lesser of two evils. Next week is the election for the ASI president and Board of Directors candidates – I know you’re counting down the days like I am. Since I’m an old-timer about […]
