Please make a difference this year. I voted for you because I believed that you would stand up for students rights. I voted for you because you said that Blake (Bolton) had failed us with the Mardi Gras situation last year by doing nothing for the students. Last year, the city had no strong student […]

Today, I drove past the construction zones here at school. Every year amazing buildings arise on campus. I feel proud to have these new facilities for students. I am currently enrolled in a class about crops and the different systems used to produce these crops. The class met at the greenhouses at the EHS department […]

The main problem with the sex column is not its graphic nature (although it may be), the problem is that the sex column is as original as a drunken frat boy holding an empty can of Natural Ice Light. I assumed that Daniel would be rather clever, based on his picture and still his apparent […]

In response to Brian Eller’s commentary, I would like to say that I am appalled by the fact that some people are so close-minded about the major issues facing the environment. Since when does the holocaust have anything to do with global warming? How did Michael Crichton even come up with such a ludicrous analogy? […]

Gino Macaluso’s piece in Monday’s Mustang Daily was the most offensive thing I have read in months. I don’t care about whatever opinion of “Belle and Sebby” he may have; I don’t have much of one. I am offended because the Mustang Daily – the newspaper that represents this university – chose to publish it […]

What could be more foolish than giving a poor review to a record that is clearly perfect? Perhaps doing so, ten years after it’s released. Before Gino Macaluso attempted to pen such an absurd disapproval of Belle & Sebastian’s 1996 LP “If You’re Feeling Sinister,” it might have been wise to first consider that everyone […]

Brian Eller, I hope your column on global warming was just an extreme right-wing shock article to stir up some commotion (Rush Limbaugh style), because if you actually believe in what you wrote, that’s scary. How selfish can you be to say that global warming is not a problem today? Now, I’m assuming that for […]

Sustainability Month’s theme as an “environmental armageddon” does not seem quite accurate. I attended many of the events and not once did I hear of an inevitable death to mankind. What I heard was rather how we can profitably transition our society and economy towards sustainability to ensure a healthy, resource abundant future. Many of […]

I keep re-reading Brian Eller’s article on global warming and still can’t figure out how he relates this environmental cause to the holocaust. Apparently, people concerned with the depletion of natural resources are Nazis. Good work. The problem may not be as bad as some activists make it sound, but that does not mean we […]

I heartily enjoyed Mr. Eller’s political column on the Kyoto Protocol. His unsupported claims and faulty logic greatly amused me. He used the old fallback excuse that “there is not enough known about global warming, therefore we should sit on our hands and do nothing.” He claims that “we” are uncertain if global warming is […]

Now that we have settled into our daily routines for this sunny winter quarter, I want to remind the student body of a big upcoming event. On Wednesday, Feb. 1, the Interfraternity Council at Cal Poly begins its Spring Rush Week. This is an opportunity for people to research all fraternities and to get a […]
