Category: Letters to the Editor

Musty the Mustang here; inviting everyone to come up with me and the Mustang Maniacs to watch the football team take on UC Davis next weekend (October 28th and 29th). The Horseshoe Classic is in Davis this year and we want the Shoe back. There is limited space available on the buses so be sure […]

I need to throw my two cents in the pot before I go crazy from reading one too many letters to the editor involving a half-naked breast. When I saw the CPSalsa poster, I thought it was a fire woman getting off work and getting ready to relieve some stress by doing a little Salsa […]

I am continually exasperated with the fuzzy thinking that passes as profound erudition in the Mustang Daily. But when interim provost Robert C. Detweiler is quoted in the October 12 article “First Constitution Day Coming” as saying, “I don’t have a lot of patience with those who say we can only look at the original […]

Addressing domestic problems first is completely reasonable Do you honestly believe that the president of the United States has the power to hide international news to bolster popularity ratings? You might as well accuse him of causing the earthquake to divert attention from the war in Iraq; it would make just as much sense, but […]

You’re going after the wrong crowd Finally, someone seems to share my opinion of the rape displays that have been popping up around campus for the two years (going on three) that I’ve been here. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t disagree with the general message. Rape is certainly wrong and should be prevented at […]

This response to the CPSalsa issue may come a day or two late, but I feel I need to vocally support what has been said by some of the supposed “very small minority.” I am glad the posters were covered because of one thing: Such images engender within me lustful desires. I admit it – […]

In light of your story related to the red handprints used to identify where a sexual assault occurred on campus, I would like to comment on the university’s position. Consistent with university policy, Cal Poly will continue the practice of placing red prints on campus when reported sexual assaults occur. All areas of the university […]

Maybe hiding international news from Americans is part of President Bush’s secret agenda to bolster his decreasing popularity ratings. A massive earthquake has devastated the Kashmir region in Pakistan/India, and no one seems to know or care about it. The Tribune’s Oct. 10 headlining story regarded residents of Creston and their feelings about an old […]

At first glance, providing a few faculty/staff with housing (Housing Projects on the Horizon, 10/6) for between $300,000 and $400,000 seems like a good solution to the housing problem. Upon further review, however, I believe it is a long-term waste of money. First, even at these prices most new faculty will not be able to […]

So, this is great. As I am watching Monday Night Football, John Madden (esteemed Cal Poly alumnus) and Al Michaels have a “special” guest, our Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. I more than understand the politics that must go on in order to make the world, and our state, go around. Now, I recall how heavily Gov. […]

Since when do the wants of the many outweigh the rights of the few? I belong to the “very small minority” who think the Cal Poly Salsa posters are inappropriate and don’t belong on campus. Taking down the posters does not represent censorship, nor violates the First Amendment. It simply conserves the learning environment. The […]
