Category: Letters to the Editor

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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

I was quite offended and upset that Ms. Potter has such an archaic attitude towards the female population at Cal Poly. According to her, a female’s place in society is in the home. When I read this I immediately called my grandma and she was shocked. What did the women of the past work so […]

Disclaimer: Jessica Potter, we hope your letter was a satire portraying LS majors, but if not, we highly suggest you read this letter. As seniors, approaching the end of our liberal studies credential program, we find your letter to the editor ridiculous. We accept that there are individuals in our major who are at Cal […]

Jessica, my name is Brian. I and the other 450 liberal studies majors couldn’t help but read your letter. Were you serious or were you trying to be ironic? If you were being ironic or sarcastic, you need to work on your sense of irony and your sense of humor because people in our major […]

Jessica Potter’s letter is degrading, not only to liberal studies majors, but to all women. The idea that liberal studies majors might be in it for the sole purpose of stimulating the minds of children, is apparently far too profound for her to grasp. I’d like to know who this “we” is that she refers […]
