Category: Letters to the Editor

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 […]

If you are here to get your MRS degree, do you actually go to your classes? You do? Well, are you that girl who dresses up like you are going downtown on a Saturday night for you 8 a.m. classes? Aren’t you uncomfortable walking around our vast, hilly campus all day? We all know that […]

I love a good laugh. That’s why I enjoyed Jessica Potter’s witty and sarcastic letter about liberal studies majors. It actually made me chuckle out loud to my roommates. So can you imagine how many times I guffawed, how many tissues I had to use to wipe away tears of hilarity, upon reading the plethora […]

Let me just start out by saying that I think the liberal arts major is kind of a useless major. You learn a little bit of everything, but nothing much of anything. But I do respect those that actually plan on doing something with their degree, like become a teacher. I feel bad for those […]

So, let me get this straight: anything I write here, even if it’s obviously completely sarcastic, is going to be taken seriously by everyone at the school and engender volumes of frothing hate mail? Cool! In that case, let me say right now that I fully support renaming the College of Engineering the “College of […]

In response to the harsh attacks on Facebook, I would like to apologize to all of the liberal studies majors who did not get that my letter to the editor on Halloween was completely sarcastic. I was sick of two things, being called an MRS major, and the CP Salsa editorials. Jessica Potter Liberal studies […]

First of all, Miss Jessica Potter, you would be damn lucky to have the honor and privilege of baby-sitting one of my children. And based on your letter, I wouldn’t be surprised if that turned out to be the highlight of your life. If you and your liberal studies colleagues don’t mind being anything more […]

I really hope that Jessica Potter’s letter was meant to be sarcastic. If not, it is her way of thinking that women have fought for so long and hard to change. First, why on earth would she attend a university such as Cal Poly, a university that is so highly esteemed that it can not […]

I am writing this letter in response to Jessica Potter’s letter to the editor. I completely disagree with her points that liberal studies majors belong in the home. If some women came here to find an engineer husband or plan on settling down at home in the future, fine. I think that Potter was making […]

I want to start off by saying there is nothing wrong with wanting to be a stay-at-home parent. And there’s nothing wrong with going to college and still deciding to be a stay at home parent. Jessica Potter has a point; some people (men included), are happiest in the home. Anyone that has done any […]

In case you’re living in a time warp, this is not the 1950s anymore. This may surprise you, but women can actually play a role in society besides being stuck in the house all day, which seems to be your biggest aspiration in life. Really now, in order to be this house mom that you […]
