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 […]

So I guess I was a little late on finding out the recent changes made to the library. I admit, it wasn’t until the third week that I finally migrated towards the bomb shelter we call our library. I was immediately shocked by the new setup of the reserve room. And to be honest, I […]

Frankly, Samantha, from the tone of your column and the description of your friends, I think the nice guys are actively avoiding you. I know, I know, women think they can bat their eyes and we come running – all is forgiven, no matter how many times you have “preyed” on us in the past. […]

Jack L. Ingram III makes a classic liberal mistake in his January 24th article “Bush: tyrant, president or idiot.” Even though he refers to Bush as the Commander in Chief, he fails to remember that we are at war. This is not a policing matter; America is a war with a corrupted ideology of hate […]

Bush Little was in the White House one day, when a “report” fell on his head. He called to Cheney Peney, and this is what he said, “Iraq’s WMDs will soon fall from the sky!” And Good Ol’ Cheney Peney got a twinkle in his eye, He suggested they go tell Halli Burton of their […]

Cornel Morton stated in the Mustang Daily in early October that “Consistent with university policy, Cal Poly will continue the practice of placing red prints on campus when reported sexual assaults occur.” Unfortunately, the red handprints were painted over in the summer and have still not been repainted. Do we really want to wait until […]

Samantha Strom posed a good question in Monday’s Mustang Daily: “Where have all the nice guys gone?” Being myself a nice guy, I’ll explain it quite clearly. We will start at high school. If you look, you will see a majority of girls chasing after “bad” boys. Sure, high school girls say they want a […]

The staff of Downtown Brewing Co. would like to send a caveat to your aspiring journalist, Joe Sargent, who kindly used our venue as the location for his “research study.” Had Mr. Sargent delved into this research with the appropriate dose of fervor, he would have discovered that the proverbial “plastic cup” holds the exact […]

Having retired from 32 years service at the Cal Poly Health Center in 2001, I no longer have access to copies of the Mustang Daily. I consistently read and enjoyed the Mustang Daily when I cared for ill, I provided several editorials and many letters for the Mustang Daily. I do very much miss the […]

President Baker – Man or myth? Supposedly, we have this president, President Baker, that exists to serve our university. Yet, of all my days spent on this campus, I have NEVER seen him. It’s like he’s “Where’s Waldo,” minus the candycane-striped sweater and glasses. But at least you find Waldo eventually. Who is this guy […]
