I was reading the article by Brittany Ridley on the different propositions in the election; I spied something that I have witnessed time and again during this election. Ridley summarized Prop. 73 by saying it “would allow minors the right to have an abortion without parental consent.” The problem with this statement is that Prop […]

So after all is said and done concerning Jessica’s letter, does this mean that engineers will still not be meeting women? Zachary Jirkovsky Mechanical engineering senior

I am appalled and flabbergasted that the Daily ran James Glen’s cartoon that compared girls who wear huge sunglasses to walruses. The walrus is a gentle and majestic creature that has many valuable uses (tu$ks anyone?) Everyone knows that girls who wear those huge sunglasses are more aptly compared to the titanic elephant seal, in […]

Erik Dawley, how can you be so ignorant? Your argument that aliens abducting stupid people keeps our nation strong against terrorists is horrible. What we as a nation need to do is make our stupid people the most visible to the terrorists. If the terrorists see only stupid people, they will laugh at us. If […]

I find it interesting to see how people react to confrontation. On Monday in the UU, several individuals decided to voice their strong religious morals to everyone who walked by. From a personal point of view, not everything said was true. Although they were within their First Amendment rights, yelling and screaming at others to […]

I hope everyone votes next week, and as you might expect, I have some views to share. Teachers are not “guaranteed jobs for life.” My wife works at the elementary level on an annual contract. Her job performance is the responsibility of her principal, who does not bother. The curriculum she teaches is mandated 100 […]

Have you noticed the change around campus? Burdens have been removed and joy has filled our souls as a result of throwing away our razors for the next 30 days. Do not be afraid! Your extra hair will protect you from the winter chill. Peach fuzz? Thick-haired neck? Dirty ‘stache? Men, wear them proud! Ladies, […]

Yesterday, a friend of mine who is a physics major told me about a paper he read. This paper put forward the idea that stars don’t exert a gravitational force, but instead exert a repulsive force, and that this is why the universe is expanding. Naturally, we had a good laugh. It never crossed our […]

For all of you who read Monday’s Halloween Daily posting President Baker’s salary, there is a reason he is the highest paid president in the CSU system. First, realize that President Baker’s job is not university administration, but rather the advancement of higher education. He received only a 13 percent raise ($30,000) when he has […]

I challenge each of you to throw your ideological loyalties to the side and closely evaluate what this proposition means to your current and future families. Whether you are the most liberal student or a self-proclaimed libertarian, Proposition 73 may not be as ideologically polarizing as it may seem. This proposition would require minor, to […]

Unbelievable. The Nov. 8 special election is rapidly approaching with initiatives that will dictate the running of our state for years to come, and all students seem to feel passionate enough about to write into the Daily is complaints about the inflammatory statements of one Jessica Potter. What she implied was ridiculous but surely there […]
